residency at the Flynn Center — to explore the theme “A Period of Confinement” using video, performance and sound. For her this meant thinking about the unremarkable daily routines in which we spend much of our time, and about ways in which we may be “both held captive by and rescued from stagnation and apathy.” The resulting video, which Donnelly presented at the FlynnSpace earlier this month, is surprisingly funny and lighthearted at times, given the topic. This and still images from her residencies make up an exhibit that opens this Friday, January 24, 5-8 p.m., at the BCA Center in Burlington. It remains on view through April 12.

These themes may sound weighty, but the figures are also rather delightf ul. Moss’ abaca paper animals are simultaneously appealing and creepy, like unf ortunate accidents of genetics that you want to take home and love. Van Fleet’s constructions of f ound materials are scrappy, of ten humorous and inherently speak to humanity’s trail of detritus. Together the artists present their lif e f orms at a reception this Thursday, January 23, at 5:30 p.m. at the University of Vermont’ Living/Learning Gallery. The show is on view through February 7.
