Kerzenserif
by Ida Westh-Hansen
22. – 29.08.2026

Opening: Thursday 22nd August, 1-4 PM 🥂

--

The exhibition presents three photographs of a 2025 ritual performance which took place in Odsherred, Denmark, alongside a site-specific beeswax candle installation and a preliminary version of new text by Ida Westh-Hansen. The work, as a site-specific action, examines the ritualization of landscape and the figure of the witch as a mediator between human and ecological systems. Grounded in a methodology of re-enchantment, the project posits the landscape as an active participant rather than a passive backdrop. By playfully invoking rituals, the exhibition examines contemporary society's distancing from the environments it inhabits. Overall, it functions as a material inquiry into the symbiotic relationship between form, folklore, and environmental awareness.

Ida Westh-Hansen is a Danish, Vienna-based, visual artist. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2018, where she studied installation and performative sculpture with Monica Bonvicini. In 2025 she completed a three-month artist residency at L-AiR in Himeji, Japan and has an upcoming residency scheduled in Nepal for 2027. 'Kerzenserif' marks her first solo exhibition in Denmark.

'Onomatopoietikon: Loud zines and graphic noise'
by CULT PUMP
6th - 20th August 2026
🥂 Opening: Thursday 6th August, 5-8 PM.

To mark the retrospective publication “Cult Pump Years”, the imprint presents a selection of publications focusing on noise: concert posters, zines, books and records from the archive. From the very beginning, Cult Pump has had close ties with the experimental music scene. The two forms – zines and noise – share more or less the same starting point: ‘let’s see what happens’, or, as editor Zven Balslev writes in the foreword to “Cult Pump Years”: There’s a wall separating experimental music and graphic art, but it’s rather the same craft: standing there painting a snowstorm. Or: sitting in a cockpit without having been given either a manual or instructions. The plane’s going to crash anyway, so we might as well fiddle with the buttons and switch them on and off… it’s fun.

As part of the exhibition at Bladr, the LP “Pestmaskine” by Heksehyl is being presented in a limited edition of 115 copies; it was originally released on cassette in 2019. Primitive harsh noise, just like Grandma used to make it.

"Onomatopoeia" is the fancy word for sound words like ‘Bzzzzz’ or ‘skrrrrrr’.

CULT PUMP publishes, prints and distributes artists' books, comics and posters, often produced using screen printing in limited editions. Located next to the experimental concert venue Mayhem, it is also a printmaking workshop and was founded with the vision of creating a collective space for underground and emerging artists and creators to publish their work outside the mainstream. CULT PUMP was founded in 2010 by the painter, printer, comic artist and artist Zven Balslev. The publisher’s philosophy is an extension of an anarchic DIY zine culture, inherited from both punk and underground comics.

The exhibition is supported by Statens Kunstfond and Rådet for Visuel Kunst.

In the region of Grenen two different water bodies of the Baltic Sea (where the artist is from, a former colony) and the Northern sea (where the exhibition takes place, a former colonizer) meet through the Kattegat Strait. The different salinities of the water bodies (one salty, the other brackish), create a unique environment of clashing waves and currents.
In the midst of polycrises, where water and border politics come forth, the idea of control and seamless transactions in the background, show their false rigidness more strongly.
The new series of textile sculptures, images and sound, created specifically for Bladr, wish to open those restless waters as maps for transcending imaginaries and cross-historic connections.

“The waves tell me nothing, they hide their currents under the surface. The waves tell me everything, there is so much happening i’m drowning. No wonder the halocine is deemed a non-swim zone”.
From Jaik’s text ‘Unsalty Waters’

"Some cities are defined by boundaries; Basel is defined by continuity. Here, art does not stay confined to museums or institutions—it flows through streets, homes, and everyday life, becoming inseparable from the city itself. Art and civic care are intertwined: those who create, collect, or exhibit are actively shaping a shared cultural ecosystem, built on centuries of commitment, generosity, and public trust.

This book offers a curated editorial reading of Basel’s rich cultural landscape. Structured as a syllabary, it allows readers to explore twelve key institutions—museums, foundations, and cultural spaces—through the pairing of a word with a place, or a concept with an institution, revealing how art quietly yet insistently inhabits the city. Samuel Leuenberger, co-curator of the project with Mousse, carefully selected these twelve words to capture the essence and defining characteristics of each institution. Every space was invited to present itself through a variety of formats, allowing it to tell its story in its own voice. The publication features over 500 images and traces the histories of some of Basel’s most important cultural actors, told by the people who shape the institutions themselves or collaborate closely with them".

Debate has always been a part of design practice. Traditionally, it has taken place through letters, manifestos, interviews, round tables, and other formats which have allowed practicing designers to both question the assumptions of their field and sharpen and defend their own positions within it. Today, the mediums for these exchanges have largely disappeared from public view, and with them, the habit of seeking them out. At Odds brings together a non-exhaustive archive of debate intended to be read, photocopied, and taken away; in service of a serious culture of design discourse among practitioners.

Rebholz and Sohrab turn the space into a working publishing platform: A collection of historical critical writings by design practitioners are accompanied by a photocopier, and visitors are invited to build a publication from the texts they choose.

BOOK LAUNCH
Sakse
Friday, May 1st, 15:00–19:00 🥂

Join us to celebrate the launch of 'Sakse' by Julie Stavad. There will be cold drinks and the opportunity to view, and purchase the book.

Sakse is created by visual artists Julie Stavad and Andrea Lund Sørensen. The book is a collection of selected material from Stavad’s archive. Lund Sørensen has curated the archive, and together they have created a mysterious work that bends linear narrative. As a whole, Sakse appears as a mosaic. A small, chaotic book about ghosts, form, and what lies in front of and behind one another.

'Tips of the sung' by Samuel Brzeski


"Tips of the Sung is a collection of interdisciplinary texts from Samuel Brzeski composed over the five years whilst he was Associate Artist at Lydgalleriet. The collection brings together performance scripts for voice and video with newly composed texts for the page. Centring on the vibrations of the voice, the texts exist somewhere between signification and delirium, at times making more sound than sense.

The texts are full of bumbling mumbles, meandering hums, homophones, inner voices, affirmations, motivations, subvocalisations, resolutions, errors in speech production, peach seduction, car maintenance manuals, self-help fallacies, roomy echo chambers, overheard language lessons, morning meditations, and other forms of verbal rehearsal at the limits of language."

's*x and place' is a series of workshops and publications exploring score-based and semi-anonymous writing as a tool for articulating shared concerns.

The series is part of Domestic Anarchism, a project devoted to coalition-building beyond biological, chosen, or national conceptions of family. Dance serves as a set of tools and knowledge that can be applied beyond “the spectacle” to collectively study, write, and move.
On April 14 - 18 Dansehallerne will present a Domestic Anarchism program. The project has a blog which can be found here: https://domesticanarchism.org/
