As the plastics, resins and polymers that we stockpile on a daily basis increase exponentially, how are we changing the long-term geological landscapes of the world around us? Driven by the exploration of time, motion and the physics of the natural world, Jonathan Latiano presents Points of Contention, a site-specific installation sculpture that investigates the increasingly blurred line between the organic and inorganic as well as the spatial boundaries of where the spectacle begins and ends. Convergent forms of crystalline growth and explosive impact reinforce the hundreds of shards of custom cut and painted elements used to create the centerpiece of the exhibition. Through the use of reclaimed and altered wood, plastic, Styrofoam and site-grown salt crystals Latiano explores the question: At what point do the controversies of the present become the “new norms” of the future?

BHBITB: the End of an Era
The End of an Era, presented by BHBITB at School 33 Art Center is an exhibit of newly acquired reconnaissance from the expected future. This material will be communicated through video and educational displays explaining these exciting potentialities. The Re:Place Habitations Complex will be the focus of these examinations.
BHBITB is a spiritual movement based upon the scientific foundations of Dr. Gifford Stranton and his research team at the New Moon Facility. Utilizing space-age fissile technologies Dr. Stranton has redirected time and space to effectively validate humanity’s origins and future potentialities. Since 1979 BHBITB has given hope to a world increasingly apprehensive of the future*, utilizing a proprietary method of Value Evaluation™, transforming the past to build a brighter tomorrow.
BHBITB is a self-sustaining organization focused on integrating the Four Pillars of Society (business, science, government, religion) into an efficient network of systematized units. The ultimate goal of these units is to design and fabricate the Perfect World™, manifesting in new municipalities, replacing the old with the new. Our ministry’s current focus is education, spreading the accumulated wisdom of Dr. Stranton through videos, exhibitions, and seminars.
BHBITB has seen the future and the future is glorious.

Microcosm/Macrocosm: Two Communities in East Baltimore
School 33 Art Center is pleased to present Microcosm/Macrocosm: Two Communities in East Baltimore. Featuring photographs by Michela Caudill and Ken Royster, this installation highlights two East Baltimore Communities: the Middle East community who are being displaced as Johns Hopkins Hospital expands its boundaries and an extended family from the Dominican Republic who have settled in East Baltimore. Both groups face serious challenges as they attempt to adapt to changes in their material and emotional lives in this city. Baltimore City has witnessed huge demographic changes during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Large numbers of Latino immigrants have moved to East Baltimore and the African American population continues to expand. The photographs on display offer entry into intimate moments that we most likely would never witness. The subjects of these photographs are our neighbors and our city itself, growing, changing.
