Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler

Sammlung Goetz in the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts, Munich

At the 2017 Venice Biennale, the Swiss American artist duo Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler presented their double-sided film installation “Flora” and the accompanying work “Bust,” based on discoveries made in the course of their research on the largely unknown American artist Flora Mayo who studied in Paris in the 1920s, at the same time as Alberto Giacometti, and who was his lover. By weaving reconstruction, reenactment and documentary into a hybrid form of storytelling, Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler reimagine Flora Mayo’s life and work, giving voice to her previously unknown son.
The Sammlung Goetz, who supported the production of the work through an early acquisition, is presenting an exhibition in the rooms of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
