Her most recent book, “Say So,” was published by Mack/SPBH Editions in 2021 and includes an accompanying essay by Chris Kraus. Through image-making, Hubbs’s practice draws from life experience to perform ideas of humor, humiliation, eroticism, resistance and failure under the umbrella of a contemporary feminist politic. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally, and her work is included in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The J. Paul Getty Museum, and the California Museum of Photography. Additionally, Hubbs’s works has been featured or reviewed in the following publications: Artforum, Bomb Magazine, Frieze, The New Yorker, Aperture and Charlotte Cotton’s “The Photograph as Contemporary Art.”
She is the associate director of Light Work in Syracuse, New York, and also serves as faculty for the image text M.F.A. program at Cornell University and as an instructor at Syracuse University. Hubbs is represented by M+B Gallery in Los Angeles and Situations Gallery in New York City.
