Brad Kahlhamer: A Nation of One

Get an early look at the M’s summer exhibition!

You’re invited to a preview party for New York-based multimedia artist Brad Kahlhamer’s ambitious survey exhibition, his first in the Upper Midwest! Your ticket includes a free drink, small bites by Crave, and live music by DJ Mickey Breeze.

The show includes large-scale paintings, drawing, sculpture, and video. Together, these varied works map the sprawling complexities and contradictions of American life and identity, with influences ranging from Abstract Expressionism to the artist’s personal Native American, but “tribally ambiguous” heritage. A Nation of One charts Kahlhamer’s evolution of styles across American and Native identities, and speaks to his persistent questions about cultural appropriation and representation.
