A deep look at a contemporary artist whose work highlights how the
rise of technology and corporate capitalism have disrupted our
lives and polarized society One of the most thought-provoking
artists of his generation, Josh Kline (b. 1979) creates
installations, sculptures, videos, and photographs that address the
ways new technologies affect how people live and work. Engaging
with a range of concerns that impact the entire labor force, from
essential workers to the creative class, Kline demonstrates how
climate change, automation, disease, and politics have shaped our
identities. At a time when so many aspects of life are under
threat, Kline takes an unflinching look at how we got here and
boldly imagines a more equitable and empathetic future. Kline's art
demonstrates the ways technology has widened and reinforced the gap
of inequity in America, while also carrying the potential to make a
fairer world. "As an artist who's thinking about the consequences
of technological innovation," Kline has said, "I think there's an
obligation to raise questions about who benefits." His ongoing
cycle of installations (Freedom, 2014-16; Unemployment, 2015-16,
Civil War, 2016-19; Climate Change, 2019- ) that imagine the next
hundred years of society are featured in this book, along with his
earlier bodies of work, Creative Labor (2009- ) and Blue Collars
(2014- ) and production images and concept sketches for his newest
works that are published here for the first time. Distributed for
the Whitney Museum of American Art Exhibition Schedule: Whitney
