Brad Kahlhamer: Bowery Nation

Exhibition Dates: 

March 22 thru July 21, 2013

Location: Bloch Buillding, Gallery LB

Brad Kahlhamer’s Bowery Nation installation brings together 100 katsina-like dolls and 22 birds made from a variety of materials. It speaks to the artist’s Native American roots and his time spent with the creative community on New York City’s Lower East Side.

The table-like construction of Bowery Nation resembles the form of powwow parade floats that carry dancers adorned in colorful feathered and beaded regalia. The structure was made from the artist’s studio materials: an old painting table, saw horses, sheets of plywood, a step ladder and wooden benches.

A consistent theme in Kahlhamer’s work is identity. He was born in Tucson of American Indian parentage, adopted into a family of German-American heritage and later raised in Wisconsin. Bowery Nation represents what he calls his “third place”, the fusion of his personal identities and mythologies.

The general idea is go into a local businesses en masse and spend money giving the business owner a little bit of economic stimulus. We help businesses grow, we make people happy, we get stuff for ourselves, meet new people and have a great time... At the mob, there are three rules: Spend at least $20 (CASH ONLY) No one is limited to $20; Meet three people you didn’t know before; HAVE FUN!!!)
