Born in Brazil '62, based in New York, MFA from Hunter College '98 and Whitney ISP fellow 2000. Villar's work draws from interdisciplinary theoretical sources; it employs video, installation and photography. His individual and collaborative projects are part of a long-term investigation of potential spaces of dissent in the urban landscape; it has often taken the form of an exploration of negative spaces in architecture.
