equilibrismo
Spanish to English

Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is from a text about an Argentine contemprary artists:
Su proyecto seleccionado para el premio arteBA-Petrobras 2007, ponía en escena el repertorio de recursos típicos de la instalación con objetos encontrados, mediante una serie de carteles que los señalaban con
ironía: “repetición”, “variación”, “accidentalismo”, “equilibrismo”, etc.
I know the use of equilibrismo to refer to tight rope walkers, but that does not seem right here
Thanks

equilibrium
I would leave it as equilibrism since it referes to that series of posters they mentioned.

balancing act
As a resident of Argentina, I'm inclined to think that the 'irony' mentioned probably refers to the political situation at the time, which is at best 'a balancing act' performed by the current politician in power. The other terms could also be interpreted as political irony. I may be absolutely wrong (note low confidence) but if I'm not there are probably other indications in the text.
