Teresa Hubbard (Irish/American/Swiss, born in Dublin 1965) and Alexander Birchler (Swiss, born in Baden 1962) have been working as a collaborative artist duo since 1990. Their lens-based practice interweaves hybrid forms of storytelling and explores the connections between social life, memory and history that sit just outside the frame of a recorded image. Hubbard attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and the graduate sculpture program at Yale University School of Art, New Haven. Birchler studied at the Academy of Art and Design Basel and the University of Art and Design, Helsinki, Finland. They received MFA degrees from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, NSCAD University, in Halifax, Canada, which also recently awarded each, an honorary degree Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa.

Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler's work is held in numerous public collections including Kunsthaus Zürich; Kunstmuseum Basel; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D. C.; Aargauer Kunsthaus Aarau; Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; Museum of Fine Arts Houston; Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna and the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich. Their exhibition history includes solo and group exhibitions at venues including the 48th Venice Biennale; Tate Liverpool; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main; Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid; Kunsthaus Graz; Mori Museum, Tokyo; Hamburger Bahnhof; Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin.
