Whitney Hubbs: Shutter Stutter

18 May, 2018 - 16 Jun, 2018
In her first solo exhibition with David B. Smith Gallery, Los Angeles-based artist Whitney Hubbs will show large photographic works featuring folded, pleated, and cinched texture-rich fabrics and household materials, posed

alongside and between human bodies. Light and shadow, performativity and spectator, shape and color, each play a starring role when reading and absorbing her works.

The human form is an important reoccurrence in Hubbs鈥檚 photographs. Appearing in staged settings yet seeming impromptu, spontaneous and candid, there is innate beauty and subtle humor to the treatment of her subjects. Crumpled metallic tin foil that registers between intimate and disposable juxtaposed with lush fabrics that speak to plush sofas or stage curtains, Hubbs creates a disjointed viewing experience that leaves space for intuition and free association to step in. Images present themselves as both familiar and foreign, creating a gentle tension where one鈥檚 own subjectivity fills in the blanks, searching through catalogued memories and sensations to make Hubbs鈥 photographs both intelligible and personal. As the name implies, Shutter Stutter relates on a personal, bodily level, alluding to both intentionality and impediment in the art-making process.
