Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fort Worth
No Room to Answer, an exhibition of photographs and videos by the collaborative team, their first major survey in an American museum. In a career of more than 15 years, they have become known for their picturesque, color-saturated photographic series and their deliberately slow-paced video installations, which feature slow pan shots, endless loops, and puzzling plot lines.
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and Curator Andrea Karnes present an exhibition of photographs and videos by the collaborative team of Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler, their first major survey in an American museum.
The Swiss/American artist duo Teresa Hubbard (born 1965 in Dublin, Ireland) and Alexander Birchler (born 1962 in Baden, Switzerland) live and work in Austin, Texas. In a career of more than fifteen years, they have become known for their picturesque, color-saturated photographic series and their deliberately slow-paced video installations, which feature slow pan shots, endless loops, and puzzling plot lines. Starting with their early staged photographs, No Room to Answer presents key works from 1991 to 2008. Their most recent video, Grand Paris Texas, 2008, which debuts with this exhibition, was commissioned by the Modern Art Museum and will become part of the Museum’s permanent collection.
We would like to extend a special thanks to Pro Helvetia Swiss Arts Council, John and Julie Thornton, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the Alturas Foundation for helping make this exhibition possible with their financial support.
