Julie Lænkholm

Julie Lænkholm is a Danish visual artist whose practice spans sculpture, textile, and site-specific work. Her research-led approach explores maintenance, oral histories, and collective forms of knowledge, drawing on fieldwork in Denmark, Iceland, and Sri Lanka.

Central to her work is the concept of maintenance — not preservation in a static sense, but an ongoing, attentive relationship with the world. Her process is slow, physical, and deeply rooted in place, often involving techniques passed down through oral tradition or long-term ecological engagement. She is currently pursuing a practice-based PhD investigating how maintenance can function as both artistic method and form of ecological care.
