| Carl Scholz's singular work on exhibit at Momenta Art is a sports car. Titled Cherry, the vehicle has been rendered inaccessible through a flawless body job that replaces and covers all windows, exterior decoration, or any reference to the interior. Scholz in interested in symbols of power, class, masculinity, recognition, and safety. Cherry exaggerates these symbols in a seamless exterior presentation of power, allowing for no interior that might suggest vulnerability. Scholz's sculpture tests the effect of this transformation – what happens when the human, on whom the car's visual and physical presence would reflect, is excluded? |  |

Is the object still one of desire, and what remains without the power of seduction? Ultimately, albeit through a dramatic presentation, Cherry refers to the impenetrable nature of existence itself. Carl Scholz
received an MFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University,
New Brunswick, NJ in 1999 and attended the Skowhegan School of painting
and sculpture , Skowhegan, Maine, in 2000. Recent exhibitions include
Surrounding Interiors at Davis Museum and Cultural Center, Wellesley,
MA and demonclownmonkey at Artists Space, New York, NY, both in 2002.
