Baltimore Vs. The World
baltimore vs. the world is a diverse collection of videos curated by the organizers of Current Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland. The compilation crosses genre, language, and political borders while offering viewers the unique opportunity to compare and contrast videos made here in Charm City with those made elsewhere in the world.
Abandon Ship
An exhibition in preparation for the demolition of 30 South Calvert Street. For the past four years, Current has been a breeding ground for cultural production, opening onto countless collaborators, nourishing an ongoing conversation. Like a supernova before the collapse, we prepare for the building's demolition with an ongoing collaborative exhibition that embodies 30 South Calvert. Welcoming you moments before bulldozers consume the building, and we slither out the anus of the temporary shelter, like a colony of parasites discharged onto the city.
Ball Movement #1 - Human Foosball
A interactive sculpture project
Ball Movement #2 - Mole-Balls
Mole-Balls is an interactive sculpture game built around the concept of Whack-A-Mole. Two teams. One team attacks by throwing velcro wrapped balls at the other team wearing mole-face bicycle helmets with velcro strips attached to them while also being spinned around on a wood based cylinder - each team is trying to attach as many balls as possible before the timer runs out. Then the teams change position, as the moles become the whacker, and vice versa.
