Arkiv, stativ, struktur / Archive, stand, structure, 2025 Blown glass, keyboard buttons, cardboard, reinforcing iron Folk & Lore 13 Sep - 14 Dec 2025 @roennebaeksholm Text by Vibeke Kelding Hansen Photos by Malle Madsen Archive, stand, structure collects keyboard buttons in mouth-blown domes, as a silent critique of power over who is written into history and who bears its weight. Archive, stand, structure consists of two mouth-blown glass domes mounted on the wall. Inside the domes are buttons from keyboards, small remnants of human interaction and work. One dome is adorned with a loop of reinforcing iron, a material that is usually hidden in concrete structures. Here it appears as a visible, supporting element, a tribute to the invisible structures and hands that hold up both buildings and systems. The work asks who is recognized for their work and who remains anonymous in the archive of history. Walther examines how power and recognition are distributed, and how art and folk art, boss and worker, visible and invisible effort stand in a fragile relationship with each other. Using glass as a medium, she highlights the hidden foundations and lets them come to light. The work was created thanks to support from the Danish Art Fund, Grosseres L F Foghts Fond and Rønnebæksholm. Thanks to Chris Lowery, Aoife Soden, Glas -Museet for glaskunst, Jens Rønholt Schmidt, Oskar Pedersen, Nanna Gro Henningsen and Helene Elsig.

Rygrad / Backbone, 2025 Blown glass Folk & Lore @roennebaeksholm 13 sep - 14 dec 2025 Anna Walther takes as her starting point the overlooked shapes and stories of packaging glass production. In the work Backbone, she enlarges the familiar soda bottle into a sculptural column that invites us to look at everyday design anew. Anna Walther’s works are closely connected to the industrial environment around Holmegaard, where glass packaging production has had a central but often overlooked role. Most people know the feeling of lifting a soda bottle, unscrewing the lid of a jam jar or shaking spices out of a small glass tube. These objects slip unnoticed into our daily lives, as silent witnesses to Danish design history. In Backbone, Walther takes as her starting point the classic, transparent soda bottle, known as the Danish Standard Water. The head of the bottle is inflated on a large scale and brings together the elements into a vertical sculpture that rises like a backbone in Danish everyday design. The shape now stands free and can be viewed from all sides, as a reminder of the countless designs we touch daily without paying them any particular attention. The work was created thanks to support from the Danish Art Fundation, Grosseres L F Foght’s foundation and Rønnebæksholm.

Zee You, 2025 Gravel and stones from the gravelpit in Tarup Davinde Nature Area, wood, concrete, paint Graduation project AMCN Program for art in public space In the middle of a landscape that invites practical clothing and camouflage colors, there suddenly stands a bed; heavy, very unpractical and decorated nicely with a bedspread with draperies and even zebra stripes. Out here, it is probably more likely to encounter horses, not zebras. But we cannot all be efficient animals that plow fields and lead armies across national borders. Anna Walther has set up a bed that does not quite fit in with the surroundings, and which is not interested in it either: the zebra bed invites you to a free-spirited little rest in the middle of all the brown and mossy green and subdued. To those who might pass by and balk at mountain bike routes and skate parks, it says that there is a place for them too. It says: I see you. I have you.

Cute little research trip to Ardagh today. The last standing glass packaging factory in Denmark. Holmegaard is primary known for its design and art production. But the glass packaging is the biggest production linked to the side, even thoug the last couple of decades Ardagh has been its own factory. The new sculptures is relating to the history of glass packaging in Næstved and it is for the upcoming group show Folk & Lore at @roennebaeksholm curated and initiated by @jasminfranko and I More info TBA

Work from Bed, 2025 Textile, pillow filling, sand, aluminium Produced in collaboration with @louisebondehansen @emmelineandrea @nannaegelund Excerpt from exhibition text by @mariesvin (translated from danish) “In the middle of the exhibition space stands a grouping of smaller sculptures that bear the same title as the exhibition. The sculptures each consist of a pillow sewn in staut, a material used to make textile patterns, and are tied together by an aluminum loop. The loop functions at the same time as both a gentle wrapping and to hold the pillows in place with a firm grip. For Anna Walther, the bed is an ambivalent place that both contains limitations - but also gives her the opportunity to work. Working from bed is therefore also a recurring condition for Anna Walther’s life and artistic work, where she is limited by space, materials - and her own body. The same is therefore also the question of how to work ambitiously as a visual artist while being chronically ill. And although the works in the exhibition Work From Bed are created in workshops outside the bed, working from bed is an inherent premise for the works” Exhibition supported by @statenskunstfond Photos by Ole Jørgensen

The Eye is the Most Hostile Architecture, 2024 steel, leather, wood 50 x 110 cm Excerpt from exhibition text by @mariesvin (Translated from danish) “In the exhibition space, there are placed steel benches. They are designed as a pair of eyes that watch over the space. While one bench has a comfortable seat that the audience can use as a participant, the other is designed with pointed eyelashes that function as spikes or guards that prevent the audience from The Eye is the Most Hostile Architecture, with direct reference to so-called "hostile" architecture; a type of architecture or urban space design that, through its design, encourages short stays, typically with the aim of removing vulnerable population groups. Like Maren Kjelgaard, who can be experienced at the Kunstpakhuset Ikast during the same period with the exhibition The Right to Aesthetics, Anna Walther is also interested in design and accessibility. Especially in public spaces and in society in general, where access for certain bodies and people is accommodated, and the very structure of society (or architecture) prevents the most vulnerable from using it. Together, it constitutes the work.” Produced in collaboration with @statensvaerksteder and @laeder.ulven From my soloshow Work from Bed at @kunstpakhuset Photos by Ole Jørgensen
