WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — At one desk, paper birds of prey pirouette while passing a platinum ball between their talons.

Dogs and cats need love.

Flux/Flow/Elegies:
An Installation by John R. Killacky
Vermont artist John R. Killacky will kick off February's month of Radical Love at JAM. His intermedia installation features three recent video pieces, including the premiere of one inspired by the Fluxus movement of the 1960s that valued process-oriented art and a dialogue between artist and spectator. The other works include a collaboration with choreographer Eiko Otake speaking to their dead mothers and an abstract work with tears. Killacky’s videos have been screened in festivals, galleries, museums, hospitals, and universities world-wide and are in the collections of numerous libraries and universities.
