Stillness in Time: Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler

Start date: Sunday, September 14, 2008
Event is ongoing: Until Sunday, January 4, 2009

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and Curator Andrea Karnes present an exhibition of photographs and videos by the collaborative artistic team of Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler, their first major survey in an American museum.

Hubbard and Birchler’s signature works from 1989 to the present are included in the exhibition. The survey begins with the artists’ earliest photographic series, which prefigured their videos, and moves on to their works of the present day. Stillness in Time examines Hubbard and Birchler’s longtime interest in the early histories of photography and cinema, which has provided them a unique perspective on the medium of video. This exhibition reveals how, by presenting picturesque, often brilliantly saturated imagery in vaguely narrative loops, Hubbard and Birchler create videos that operate in an ethereal zone between realism and reverie.
