As part of the Long Island City Open Studios, Studio 201 is a video-performance exhibition based on Slavoj Zizek’s writings on its ontological difference to the displacement of objects caused by a change in an observational position that provides a new line of sight. The devil in a non-rhythmical and non-sense scenario.
Through a performative re-interpretation of cultural traditions, Ilaria Garbero and Maximiliano Siñani place a Bolivian Carnival Devil inside the exhibition space. This particular Devil represents the fascinating and colorful custom of the Carnival of Oruro in Bolivia, where he dances to specific folkloric music.

In this case though, the music will be based on a non-rhythmical rythme developed by Josh Bess and Daniel Siles as they interact with each other by mixing physical and electronic instruments. The dissonance thus created raises questions regarding the understanding of traditions and cultural interactions.
Video projections by Julie Cetti, Paul Lemarquis and Felix Felix Robin finalize the overall composition. The videos focus on themes related to politics, the human body, cultural discrepancies and absurd situations.
Studio 201 is a collective of emerging artists based in New York.
