Alex Hubbard (American, b.1975) is a Contemporary artist working in painting and video, frequently using video to investigate age-old questions of what it means to make an abstract painting. As an example, in Annotated Plans for an Evacuation (2009), his video for the 2010 Whitney Biennale, Hubbard covered one side of a car with spackle and spray-paint, ultimately covering its surface completely and rendering the car into a flat surface.
Born in Toledo, OR, Hubbard went on to study at the Pacific Northwest College of Art and the Whitney Independent Study Program. He has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally, including at the Kitchen in New York, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and Gaga Contemporary in Mexico City, among many others. He lives and works in New York.
