Art21 Announces 'Human Nature' Episode Featuring Josh Kline
On June 10, 2026, Art21 announced the premiere of its new episode "Human Nature," the third installment of Season 12 of "Art in the Twenty-First Century." The episode features four artists, including Josh Kline, who explore themes of humanity's impact on the environment, social and economic systems, and human connection. Kline, known for his work in installation, video, sculpture, and photography, uses deep fake technology to examine truth in a post-truth era, focusing on labor, climate change, automation, and democracy.
The Signal
The episode continues Art21's longstanding mission to document contemporary artists addressing urgent social and political issues. For collectors and curators, Kline's inclusion signals the series' emphasis on artists who engage with technology and class, reflecting a broader trend in contemporary art toward critical inquiry into the effects of automation and digital manipulation on everyday life.
