Alex Villar climbs up a scaffold and breaks into a business<\/p><\/div>\n

I just came across video documentation of a new public performance by Alex Villar – “Breaking into Business”<\/a> that he executed as part of the Open City festival in Lublin, Poland<\/a>. In “Breaking into Business”<\/a>, he literally performs the concept of “Open City” by walking through the city pushing a scaffold on casters, setting the scaffold below a business window, climbing up the scaffold and into a window. As I watched the video, I kept wondering if all these places had agreed to his visit or what was the reaction within the location as Alex stepped into the building from a second or third story window.

As is the nature of Alex Villar’s performative work, the focus is on his action, movement and intervention in and through the urban space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
