Josh Kline (b. 1979, Philadelphia, USA) lives and works in New York. Kline creates artworks and exhibitions that consider the ways in which our humanity has been transformed, commodified, and instru­mentalized within neoliberal society. Examining the regimes of control to which the human body is increasingly subjected—ranging from governmental and corporate surveillance to the relentless pursuit of youth—Kline addresses the erosion of boundaries between labor and leisure and the incursion of consumer culture into the most literally intimate aspects of life: blood, DNA, neurochemistry. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Modern Art Oxford, UK; the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington DC; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel; ICA Philadelphia; The New Museum, the Whitney Museum, and MoMA PS1.

The Visiting Artists Lecture Series is sponsored by the Fine Arts Program in the Parsons School of Art, Media, and Technology (AMT) at The New School. The lecture series invites renowned artists from across the globe to give free public presentations each Wednesday.
