life and work
Huebler studied at the University of Michigan , the “Cleveland School of Art” in Ohio and at the Académie Julian in Paris. In his work he often used photographs, which he supplemented with descriptive texts. Much of his work deals with time and its effects on objects. One of his better-known works, Duration Piece # 31 Boston from 1974, shows a black and white photograph of a naked woman, who looks friendly and open into the camera and covers herself with a towel. In the accompanying text, Huebler explains that this photograph was taken with an exposure time of 1/4 second during the turn of the year 1973/1974, with 1/8 second of the exposure taking place in 1973 and the last half of the exposure being in 1974.
He taught at the California Institute of the Arts , where he taught Mike Kelley , Christopher Williams, and others. In 1972 he took part in documenta 5 in Kassel , in 1977 in documenta 6 .
