Cathcart also has a series of pictures devoted to the stripped, stolen cars that were abandoned around south Williamsburg in the late 1980s.

Cathcart's early photos serve as a record of Williamsburg at a time when crime in the city was high due to the crack epidemic. Seen here: a 2011 image of a bridge.

Artist Justin Berry is showing his trippy landscapes at Interstate Projects in Brooklyn. Seen here: 'Pink Sky Wide Mirror,' a work from 2012.

Berry takes video games and sci-fi novel landscapes and strips them of text, machines and people -- such as 'Spire,' above -- focusing on the surreal aspects of these fictional worlds.

These backdrops can be bizarre, moody or filled with a sense of doom -- as in the C-print 'Left Behind,' above.

A new group show at James Cohan examines abstraction -- and some of the familiar materials it employs. 'Television Noise #10,' by David Moreno, is seen above.

Manfred Pernice's sculpture 'Diary – 04.05.04' from 2008 is also part of the show. Crafted from particleboard and formica, the piece forms of interlocking hexagonal platform.
