LOOM GALLERY
“In spring of 2019 Kahlhamer was invited to make a solo exhibition at the Indigenous run space LOOM Indigenous Art Gallery in Gallup, NM. This experimental space is adjacent to the concentration of trading posts that reside in Downtown Gallup, and as such act as antidote to the colonial commodification that occurs through trading post culture. Kahlhamer’s watercolor and ink on paper, 36 Hours in Gallup, takes its title from the New York Times Travel Section, and their series “36 Hours In,” where authors travel to various locations and spend 36 hours building and creating memory and moments.”
