Most of the works in Kolding's most recent exhibition, "Memories of the Future," are collages, and the ability to crop and re-contextualize space permeates the artist's source images and his practice. Socialist architecture is commonly treated by artists as a symbol of authority; Kolding re-inserts the oversized, menacing buildings into a larger image bank. Advertisements, warning signs, and lyrics by New Order comprise the collage's textual elements, and are included as both graffiti-like inscriptions on the image, and as slogans. Another large-scale photograph depicts a boy turned away from the viewer, facing a photographer's flash in an invisible screen, or the sun. He's  in view in relief, like an iPod ad, or a Caspar David Friedrich painting.

Kolding's work abounds with metaphor, and the gallery space is likewise an uncertain proxy for the passage through urban space. A large-scale diorama in the middle of the gallery features small, intricate cut-outs that force the viewer to move around the gallery. Ultimately, the cut-outs don't really interact, and various allusions to buildings, places, and characters build up without resolution. Batman is one the figures included; Kolding used him to represent "the dynamic personality of the urban space, and the dark side." As in comics, as in life: Kolding glues delicate strips of plywood to his installation to map a vague topography of the area. At the opening, an inebriated individual in a pink bunny suit stepped on the protruding wood, twice.

Memories of the Future is on view through March 28. Team Gallery is located at 83 Grand Street, New York.
