Published for Klein’s solo exhibition Lost Holidays at Telematic gallery in San Francisco. Lost Holidays celebrate life’s flowering in the face of its passing away. Klein’s images are full of rich colors and playful patterning. Yet, they are ultimately reductive: a sustained meditation on time and change, which are emphasized through a juxtaposition of still and moving images.

We Live In Real Time
Printed Matter/St Marks put out an open call for mail art submissions with the prompt We Live In Real Time. As a medium, mail art felt especially relevant at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic—sending art through the postal system allows for a new type of physical connection between people, places, and ideas. Klein submitted I See You Celestial, a card and envelope collage.
