The exhibition shows works created by graduating students from Det Jyske Kunstakademi and is part of the DNA of Kunsthal Aarhus' exhibition programme.
The exhibition marks the end of a five-year educational programme and the final works of the newly graduated artists. In 2026, the graduation exhibition is titled Ooze. It presents works by Fie Hansigne, Carl Otto Linde, and Ulf Teglbjerg, each of whom will have an entire gallery at their disposal for their graduation project.
Ooze is curated by Seolhui Lee and has been created in collaboration with Det Jyske Kunstakademi.

Fie Hansigne’s practice is driven by curiosity about the spaces where art and life coincide. She works with existing elements: found objects, discarded materials, stories, misprints, and arbitrary images drawn from her immediate surroundings. Her work unfolds through what she calls “the personal infrastructure,” where the trivial, fumbling, and unproductive become generative forces in artistic creation. Her practice examines value - distorting and turning structures upside down to question what we choose to make space for. How can one find security and freedom in a position traditionally defined by dependency? And how can art thrive at the intersection of everyday life, expectations, and artistic dreams? Fie Hansigne holds a BA in Fine Arts from Det Jyske Kunstakademi and will graduate with an MFA from the same institution in June 2026.
Carl Otto Linde’s practice explores how material, time, and perception respond to pressure. With a restrained, precise approach, he constructs installations that dwell on ecological fragility, technological drift, interpersonal strategies, and the quiet tension between natural and constructed worlds. Through sculpture, installation, painting and sound, he constructs speculative environments shaped by collapse, transformation and emotional response. Carl Otto Linde holds a BA in Fine Arts from Gerrit Rietveld Academie and has now finished the Master Programme at Det Jyske Kunstakademi.
Ulf Stubbe Teglbjærg’s practice engages the Middle Ages as both subject and method, unfolding as an experiment with material culture, historiography, fairy tales, science fiction and medievalism. He is interested in the anachronisms that shape interpretations of history, e.g. in video games and popular culture. Through his work, he questions how linear and progress-oriented views of history might dissolve, allowing the medieval to appear as part of the contemporary condition. This dissolution is reflected materially, where media fuse in chainmail, textile, warhammer, plastic, paint, screens, bubble wrap and a broken backpack. Ulf Teglbjærg holds a BA in Fine Art from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and is currently completing an MA degree at Det Jyske Kunstakademi.
