Josh Kline at 47 Canal

What happens to humanity if global warming leads to drastic sea level rise?  Josh Kline envisions the end of life as we know it in a provocative sculpture series featuring submerged cities and preserved specimens of everyday 21st century life at 47 Canal on the Lower East Side.  Inside lab hoods, preserved doll-house sized domestic and office environments suggest that what’s normal now may soon be a thing of the past.  (On view through June 9th).
