By Christopher Y. Lew, Nora N. Kahn, Ed Halter, Josh Kline, and Laura Poitras

Produced on the occasion of Josh Kline’s mid-career survey at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Josh Kline: Project for a New American Century (April 19 – August 13, 2023), this richly-illustrated, full-color catalogue presents an overview of the artist’s work from the last fifteen years. His ongoing cycle of installations (Freedom, 2014–16; Unemployment, 2015–16, Civil War, 2016–19; Climate Change, 2019–2024) 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. The catalogue features essays by the exhibition’s curator, Christopher Y. Lew; curator and writer Nora N. Kahn; Ed Halter, founder of Light Industry, New York; and a conversation between filmmaker Laura Poitras and Josh Kline.
