Aagaard Jensen (1990, Esbjerg, Denmark) presents her striking and colourful works alongside works curated from the museumโs collection. With this arrangement of works, Aagaard Jensen challenges traditional gender roles and the underrepresentation of feminine forms, with both humour and audacity.
Aagaard Jensen has curated modern period rooms using her works and items from the museumโs collection, each featuring its own โhostessโ. The idea ofโฏa female inhabited spaceโฏinspired Aagaard Jensenโs curatorial process.โฏEveryday objects in the galleries, such as food, clothing, furniture, and a laid table, set theโฏstage for contemporary scenes of life lived in the 15h-century Agnieten Convent. Itโs the oldest part of what is now Centraal Museum. In Another Story, the curated rooms serve as a backdrop for stories that you, as a guest of the artist, are invited to imagine; welcome home, darling.

Anna Aagaard Jensen explores the intersection of sculpture, design, and the politics of the body.
Through furniture-like forms, the artist transforms familiar domestic objects into charged sculptural propositions. Her works challenge conventions of beauty, utility, and gender, embracing softness, humor, and bodily excess as forms of resistance.
Following her recent solo presentation at Centraal Museum, works by Anna Aagaard Jensen are currently on view at KERSGALLERY Amsterdam.
Anna Aagaard Jensen (b. 1990, Esbjerg) lives and works in Rotterdam. #AnnaAagaardJensen #KersGallery #Amsterdam #ContemporaryArt #Sculpture DesignArt FeministArt CollectibleDesign

MEET THE HOSTS OF DESIGN BIENNALE ROTTERDAM 2025: ANNA AAGAARD JENSEN
Anna Aagaard Jensen redefines design as a catalyst for connection. Her work pushes the limits of form and function, exploring the intersections of identity, power, and the bodyโturning each piece into a conversation rather than just an object.
For Anna, design is about forging meaningful bonds, and she sees the Design Biennale as a space for cross-generational connections across the Rotterdam design scene. โI am committed to supporting new generations. By creating connections with youth, we can provide them with opportunities, foster their passions, and encourage experimentation in design and beyond. The biennale becomes the platform for such connections,โ she says.
Our 5 hosts are established, Rotterdam-based designers who embody our vision for this inaugural edition of the Design Biennale.
Catch Annaโs work on display at Groot Handelsgebouw for This Is Us.
