Jennifer Bolande's Untitled Iris prints are composites operating like cinematic jump cuts. They are disjointed narratives of optical information paths from object to subject; the interior of an eyeball to a landscape. These paths, both quiet and direct, connect the nature of physical space to the mental process of the viewer.

Lisa Hein zeroes in on Momenta Art's architectural anomaly: a wedge-shaped closet housing the building's electrical service. Her site-specific installation displaces the focus of exhibition from the pristine walls to the system sustaining it.

Cannon Hudson's recent paintings from the Untitled (stations) series reference work stations, conversation pits, and automobile interiors. Graphic paint application abstracts the image. These stations float, ungrounded, becoming a mental landscape of boundaries and symbols for operating in physical space.

James Mills's sign attached to the exterior of the gallery resembles a real estate sign reading For Free. This humorous yet poignant word play subverts commodification and signs of gentrification evident in the neighborhood of Williamsburg. Similarly, Mills's series of scale models examines issues of public versus private property, value and obsolescence.

Roxy Paine transforms his studio into a diorama by installing a periscope down into the gallery, which peers into his studio located above Momenta Art. Public versus private space is accentuated through surveillance, voyeurism, and exhibitionism.

William Schuck creates a vinyl model, with dimensions identical to several walls in the gallery, on the roof of the building housing Momenta Art. Throughout a three-week period prior to the opening of the exhibition, Schuck continuously coated the replica walls with polyurethane. This coating process trapped airborne debris, leaving a record of time and space which was then installed in the gallery for the duration of the show.
