Kirpy | Latent

Opening night: Thursday 3rd May 6-8pm

Latent refers to a state of dormancy, a potential for realisation or recognition that has not yet happened. In his latest body of work Kirpy transcribes this notion to his surrounding environment. Each work gives focus to scenes that often fade into the background of the city – sites that have been underappreciated as mere transitional spaces between more ‘significant’ cultural landmarks. Yet these spaces are essential to the character of particular settings. Latent gives recognition to scenes perceived to be on the lower rungs of spatial hierarchies, asking us to see their importance as the unsung backbones of the urban tableau.

Exhibition runs May 2nd - 26th

Excited to announce my new solo exhibition next month in Melbourne - Archetype May 2-23 Opening afternoon May 6, 2-4pm Port Jackson Press Gallery - Melbourne is in constant evolution with the gentrification of iconic suburbs spreading further and deeper in response to market demand. Kirpy’s latest exhibition critiques this process, asking ‘what is at stake’ and ‘what is left behind’. Empty buildings, whose tenants were pushed out by property prices, their windows pasted up with layers of old decaying posters – Kirpy documents the way that gentrification eats away at the unique culture of Melbourne’s streets. If Melbourne is known for its rich culture and the buildings that play host to it, is the architecture of gentrification unraveling Melbourne’s archetypes?
