Creative Minds: a conversation with Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler

Saturday, November 8, 2025 | 2-3:30pm

Join us for an engaging discussion with artists Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler as they share insights about their exhibition No More Boring Art which will be on view from November 8 – January 25, 2026.

No More Boring Art is based on Hubbard / Birchler’s multi-faceted exploration of John Baldessari’s "Punishment Piece" which took place at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1971. Until now, the participants, mostly art students, who repeatedly wrote “I will not make any more boring art” across the walls of NSCAD’s Mezzanine gallery, have remained unknown. As visual artists, Hubbard / Birchler seek engagement with adjacent fields of study that have more conventionally been considered the domain of the anthropologist, archeologist or historian. The works in No More Boring Art lead the viewer on a journey exploring the connection between life and art.

Registration suggested due to limited seats, but walk-ins are welcome. This event is included in the price of admission.

This discussion will be moderated by exhibition curator, David Diviney, Chief Curator, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

This program will be recorded and ASL interpretation will be available.
