So what I did in my piece is I took 12 of these artists that I love. And their thought was, by doing this intentionally, the process becomes the art. They took mundane objects, and they focused on a single gesture around the object. And they said an idea is as important as a product. They were anti-elitist artists, basically. They banded together and called themselves Fluxus. John Killacky: Well, this is sort of my homage to artists in the early 60s, in New York and Europe.
How would you describe the installment and what you're hoping to communicate with these pieces?
But these videos seem to serve a very different purpose. Not that there's anything wrong with those - some of them are wonderful. Mitch Wertlieb: You call this "video art" - more specifically, "intermedia art." And, I like to think of the one that I was describing just now in the lede as a kind of antidote to the quick-hit Tiktok videos that are so popular these days. Their conversation below has been edited and condensed for clarity. Vermont Public’s Mitch Wertlieb spoke with John Killacky about his intermedia exhibit at JAM. He’s John Killacky, a former Vermont legislator and former executive director of the Flynn in Burlington, and this video, along with two others are on display at Junction Arts & Media in White River Junction now through the end of the month. Well, let’s endeavor to find out by speaking with the man who made this video, called Flux. There’s something mesmerizing about how the man in the video slowly engages with these items, one after another. Placed on it are a metronome, a violin, a piece of chalk, a matchbox, magnifying glasses, and a bell, among other items.
