April 19
Alex Hubbard

Alex Hubbard is a Brooklyn-based artist who upon completing the Whitney Independent Study program in 2003, hit the ground running with an extensive national and international exhibition record, including the 2010 Whitney Biennial. Reflecting the sage advice of elder artist Jasper Johns, Hubbard does in fact take an object, does something to it, and then does something else to it, as witnessed in his videos and paintings. His work is of the genre that follows ideas, embraces materials, and manipulates processes with little regard for simplistic classifications of painter or sculptor. Ingenuity and humor are essential components of the actions Hubbard triggers that explore transformations between states of order and chaos ruled by their own capricious logic. For Tuesday Evenings, Hubbard shares the work of his ever-flourishing career.
