Ian Kline is a photographer from York, PA—the first capital of the United States, or the fourth, depending on who you ask. Either way, there is still a twelve-foot-tall man lifting a barbell spinning in circles above the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Highway, which is important to Ian’s nightmares. Kline received his MFA from the Yale School of Art, where he was awarded the Richard Benson Prize in 2022. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, published eleven artist’s books, and is included in the permanent collection of MoMA’s Library. The driving force of his practice is the physical and emotional need to create expressions with light to counter darkness and address our fractured contemporary landscape.
