Josh Kline

Following announcement of representation in May 2024, Josh Kline will present his first solo exhibition with Lisson Gallery in New York in September.

Described as one of the leading artists of his generation, Kline is best known for creating immersive installations using video, sculpture and photography to question how emerging technologies are changing human life in the 21st century. Kline's diverse oeuvre is centered on the dynamics between work and class, examining how contemporary social and political issues such as climate change, automation, and the fragility of democracy affect the labor force. Kline often utilizes the technologies, practices and forms that he scrutinizes – including digitization, data collection, image manipulation, 3D-printing, commercial and political advertising, productivity-enhancing substances – aiming them back at themselves. Some of his most well-known videos use early deepfake software to speculate on the meaning of truth in a time of post-truth propaganda.
