Alex Villar is a New York based artist. Villar humbly examines the hidden location of power, space of survival in contemporary society, combining it with performance, video and photography.
Villar interventions in public spaces changes the whole idea of a sculpture because they’re performance based. his intervention are mostly carried out in public places. they are interactive scenarios in which the codes that control the daily use of the city’s public space can be made apprent. his body is frequently forced to share and adhere to the confines of claustrophobic places, emphasising and possibly undermining random places and boundaries. His work is infused with a feeling of absurdity which contrasts the rational conduct with the city’s design.
