Maria Jose Arjona will be presenting four works, three of which are video works, which were created in her residency at the Watermill Center in New York, Robert Wilson's laboratory for performance Two of these works will be presented in two distinct two-channel videos, exhibiting four different actions which are long durational. The other video work, Four Legged Animal, translate a sort of intimate conversation between the body and the archetypcal domestic object. The last work Right At The Center is a recording of a performance that uses time as a critical element in a voluntary ordeal, which was developed for the Queadrilaterai Biennial in Rjeka, Croatia.
