Nikolay Karabinovych
Nikolay Karabinovych, born in Odesa, works across video installation, performance, sound, and sculpture. His practice addresses layered social histories – particularly those shaped by the cultural and political landscapes of Eastern Europe – interwoven with personal family narratives. Questioning identity, belonging, and exclusion, he frequently turns to music, revisiting epochal songs, genres, and figures for their ability to refract past eras through the lens of the present.
Karabinovych served as assistant curator of the 5th Odesa Biennale. He received the first PinchukArtCentre Prize in 2022, 2020, and 2018. His work has been widely exhibited at institutions including HKW, Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen, Museum de Fundatie, MAXXI, the Albertinum, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, the Belgium Jewish Museum, Bozar, W139, and Zamek Ujazdowski, among others. He has also participated in Steirischer Herbst 2024, the Kaunas Biennale 2023, the Kyiv Biennale 2023 and 2021, Survival Kit 2023, and the parallel programmes of the Venice Biennale 2024 and 2022.
