Marshall Weber
Artist and Directing Curator
Booklyn Artist's Alliance, Brooklyn USA
Marshall Weber is a interdisciplinary artist best know for his innovative artists’ books, public endurance-performance/installation works and social sculpture works which manifest themselves in his curating of thematically structured and theoretically informed interdisciplinary exhibitions and his organizing of artist run corporations and projects. Marshall is one of the co-founders of the Booklyn Artists’ Alliance (www.booklyn.org) a a non-profit artist run organization with distribution, education, exhibition and publishing programs. Booklyn’s goal is to construct an international distribution and exhibition network run by and for artists that will provide a non-commercial and progressive alternative to the private art system that now controls art and artists’ books distribution and exhibition. This system would tie cultural distribution to educational rather than commercial practices and goals.
His art and curatorial work often explores issues of ecology, ethics, linguistics, peace activism, social justice, and theology. His artwork is collected and exhibited internationally and is in the collections of the Bibliotheque Nacional de Luxembourg, the Library of Congress, MoMA, NY, MOMA, S.F., the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Smithsonian Institute Museum of American Art and many others. His “Eleven” book was recently on exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and at Museums of Art and Design in Frankfurt, Germany and New York City. Weber was a recent Interdisciplinary Arts Fellow of both the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Intermedia Arts/McKnight Foundation.“Justice is Beautiful: Expanding the Paradigm of the Artists Book”
