Details:

Nomadic Studio, Maine Camp is an exhibition of many of Brad Kahlhamer’s sketchbooks, accompanied by a selection of related work. The Nomadic Studio sketchbooks are a pictorial travelogue of sorts, and also a journey through the artist’s imagination and oeuvre. A selection of works from the early 2000s to 2022—including a portfolio of intaglio prints, small works on paper, and large mixed media bed sheet paintings—will also be on view, a number from the museum’s collection. Brad Kahlhamer’s art lives at the crossroads of real and imaginary worlds. Born to Native parents and adopted by a German-American family, he spent his early adulthood as a musician living on the road before settling in New York City in the early 1980s. Since 2016, he has divided his time between New York, Mesa, Arizona, and extensive travel where he is working, exhibiting, performing, or yondering, as he describes it. For instance, from February to July of 2023, during planning of this exhibition Kahlhamer was in New York; Paris, France; Cordoba, Spain; the north woods of Minnesota; and locations in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.
