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.
