The gentrification of Williamsburg in New York, was accelerating. The industrial building at the corner of avenues Skillman and Manhattan changed owners and it began to pour it. The last residents were invited to artists, among others, and other Benítez, to make an exhibition entitled Squat (Occupies). In reference to the social history of the neighborhood and the building and, also, to the concept of displacement, the artist created two works for the sample. One of them is WITHOUT END (Breuer's Wassily Chair Remixed), created with remnants of a pair of chairs Wassily by Marcel Breuer, which assembled as a sculpture tubular without end, a reflection of a modernity in ruins, re-appropriate, reconfigured, disobeyed.
