Biography
Employing both alternative and digital means, Jon Kline’s recent Ecliptic Project entails long time exposures of the orbiting sun overhead using hand made cameras along with different lenses and pinholes. This project has been undertaken while in residence throughout North America at Ucross in Wyoming, the Santa Fe Art Institute in New Mexico, Anderson Ranch in Colorado and in Baja California, Mexico. He spent the summer of 2006 working in the Arctic Circle funded in part through the American Scandinavian Foundation. His work is in the collections of the Art Museum at Princeton University, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, and the National Park Service, Ellis Island, among others. He is the recipient of the Aaron Siskind Fellowship, and the Earthwatch Fellowship in Hungary. In addition to exhibiting work, Kline continues to research early photographic processes and has received funding in 2005 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation lecturing at both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the George Eastman House. He has been a member of the faculty at the Department of Photography and Imaging, Tisch School of the Arts, NYU, since 1986 and has taught at Bennington College in Vermont since 1998.
