Tilda Lundbohm is one of three recipients of the 15. Juni Fonden honorary award, which now includes an 11-month development program at Art Hub Copenhagen as part of a new partnership between the foundation and AHC.
Building on deeply personal experiences, Tilda Lundbohm’s practice explores the fragile boundary between the mechanical and the human, the clinical and the emotional. Through installations and sculptural works, she investigates how trauma, illness, and recovery can be translated into material form. Her works often merge fragile, handmade elements with industrial materials, creating poetic spaces where vulnerability and precision coexist.
About Tilda Lundbohm’s work, Memory Machines, artist Tore Hallas states:
“Tilda Lundbohm’s work is carried by both artistic necessity and human integrity, making “weakness” poetic. It is all too rare that mental illness is examined so clearly and directly in art, and it offers hope for a future artistic practice of weight, courage, and meaning.”

ABOUT THE AHC AND 15. JUNI FONDEN PARTNERSHIP
With a shared vision to promote and support the practice of younger visual artists, Art Hub Copenhagen and 15. Juni Fonden enter a three-year partnership from 2026. For the next three years, three newly graduated visual artists will receive an 11-month development program each year at Art Hub Copenhagen at Thoravej 29, in addition to 15. Juni Fonden’s honorary prize of DKK 50,000.
The artists who receive the foundation’s grant are selected by the foundation’s art jury, which consists of professor Mikkel Bogh from the University of Copenhagen, visual artist Tore Hallas and art critic and mediator Mai Misfeldt.
