Modern Society Defined in Bottles

Josh Kline serves up a recipe of perfectly blended societal commentary drinks in single serve bottles with ‘Skittles.’ The new installation is part of New York City High Line’s Archeo project. The outdoor group exhibition focuses on using outdated peripherals to display the constant wave of new and obsolete technology entering and leaving the modern world. An industrial refrigerator containing concoctions mixed up by Klein are imprinted with ingredients of items commonly found together with some concoctions left open for interpretation for a liquified version of a time capsule.
