Josh Kline

Josh Kline was born in 1979 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and currently lives in New York City, New York. The artist received his BA from Temple University in 2002. From sculptures of 3D-printed portraits wrapped in recycling bags to videos advocating for Universal Basic Income to installations of temporary housing in the aftermath of a flood, Kline explores the impact of emergent technologies, widening class divides, and the looming threat of climate disaster on contemporary life. His works often present dystopic visions of the near future, where the consequences of political instability, the automation of human labor, and natural disasters have transformed life as we know it, engaging audiences in the project of imagining something better.
