Addressing the current climate at the onset of the November election, the exhibition—Andrews's first solo museum presentation in the United States—loosely weaves together narratives around historic and imaginary candidates, the campaign trail, sitting in office and the end of the presidential term. The exhibition originated at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and, in collaboration with the artist, will be reconfigured as a site-specific installation in the Nasher galleries, incorporating works from the existing exhibition, such as the large-scale, documentary photomurals and meticulously produced sculptural works within the unique architecture of the Nasher.

Kathryn Andrews: Run for President is organized by Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.
