Alex Hubbard will lead a private tour of his studio in conversation with Evan Moffitt, writer, critic and the Associate Editor of frieze.
Alex Hubbard works across painting, sculpture, and video. Hubbard’s diverse practice references art history and extends the prescribed characteristics of his chosen mediums. His video works are composed like paintings — a flattened plane onto which a series of actions unfold — and render visible the performative nature of the artistic process. They feature sequences of simple acts of creation and destruction, often executed in a slapstick manner. Hubbard’s paintings extend investment in the figure-ground relationship established within his video works. An early series referred to as “garbage paintings” were created using found objects fused into abstract compositions. A synthesis of painting and sculpture, his abstractions are created utilizing industrial mediums like resin, fiberglass, pigmented urethane, and auto-body paint.
