As a contemporary art enthusiast who’s spent countless hours scrolling through social media feeds and analyzing the intricacies of digital culture, I find Josh Kline‘s exhibition, “Social Media,” at Lisson Gallery in New York, nothing short of captivating.
In the realm of Social Media, Josh Kline introduces an epoch characterized by self-absorption. At Lisson Gallery in New York, this artist unveils his initial collection of self-portraits, offering fresh perspectives on the selfie. By employing strikingly lifelike sculptures, the exhibit mirrors a time of self-advertisement and commercialization that’s prevalent in today’s digital landscape.
In his latest series, Kline breaks down and reassembles the human body as a theme. He continues a decade-long investigation into social media, now incorporating himself into these depictions of employment. The art installation, featuring an assortment of upholstered office chairs and hands divided into sections, each gripping tools for various job tasks, captures the weariness caused by work in a contemporary tableau vivant that feels like a timeless snapshot from today’s era.
Nestled between current times and the swiftly approaching future lies the realm of Social Media, offering an ethnographic peek into the professional sphere. In a press release, the gallery explains that as Kline enters the 3D-scanning device, he simultaneously captures himself on film and reflects the circumstances faced by artists in the third decade of the 21st century.
The exhibition is now on view at Lisson Gallery through October 19, 2024.
