Brad Kahlhamer
Andrehn-Schiptjenko, Stockholm
Road Trip U.S.A. The artist will show new works on paper, photos, sketches and colour Xeroxes. The installation will resemble an American road-trip through comic and traditional Native American icons and figures. In his paintings, drawings, photos and lyrics, Kahlhamer tells such wayward stories intertwined with his own, personal story.
Road Trip U.S.A
Brad Kahlhamer lives and works in New York. His work has recently been
seen in solo shows like “Let's Walk West†at Scottsdale Museum of
Contemporary Art, Arizona, “Almost American†at Madison Museum of
Contemporary Art, Wisconsin, and Aspen Art Museum, Colorado and in
group shows at Deste Foundation, Athens, Greece, New Museum of
Contemporary Art, New York and San Fransisco Museum of Modern Art, to
name a few.
What happens to the Hollywood version of the westward journey-with its
promise of liberation, big skies and brave adventures-if it gets caught
on haunted ground? In his paintings, drawings, photos and lyrics, Brad
Kahlhamer tells such wayward stories intertwined with his own, personal
story. Born in Tucson, Arizona of Native American background and adopted
by birth by a couple of German descent, Brad Kahlhamer´s art tells
stories about hybrid identity. Although New York culture seems to colour
the pitch of his works, it is the West that governs the imagery of his
art.
At Andrehn-Schiptjenko, Brad Kahlhamer will show new works on
paper, photos, sketches and colour Xeroxes. The installation will
resemble an American road-trip through comic and traditional Native
American icons and figures.
Opening: Thursday Sep 29, 5-8 pm.
