Weber illuminates the personal details behind Booklyn's intriguing origins in an interview with Pratt Institute librarian Tony White in the Spring 2007 issue of the Journal of Artists' Books.

For Weber's recent 2007/2006 activities in the field of artists books visit Booklyn's Collection Development Archive

Organik had a fabulous exhibit in London at Lawrence Graham Gallery, curated by Clive Jennings in April of 2007.

Marshall Weber artist and director of Booklyn's Collection Development and Exhibitions Departments was the keynote speaker at the Mackay International Artists Book Forum in Mackay Australia on February 25, 2005. Weber then traveled on to Canberra to be a resident artist in a collaorative program between the Environmental Art Studio and the Edition + Artist Book Studio of Australia National University. While in Australia Weber initiated the MONUMENT project and produced an entire new body of work in collaboration with Organik and various Australian artists.

In October of 2005, Weber and collaborators Christopher Wilde and Kurt Allerslev recently performed "Ascension to Twilight" a site specific performance /installation at the Braunschweig Art and Design School in Germany

In August of 2004 Weber completed a 46 hour solo marathon reading of the Iliad and Odyssey.

Blood Owned It
2007, 14 pages, 7 x 11 inches, variant edition of three.
Media: wax crayon and graphite on pages of acid free cover stock paper. The covers are unfinished and dyed cow leather, bound by Cat Glennon at Booklyn.

The rubbings are from the 49’er town Murphy’s up in the California Sierras on State Route 49. Every other plaque in Murphy’s commemorated a murder or a fire and the book documents the fact that the town is bracketed by a plaque for E Clampus Vitus, a boozing Western Heritage fraternal organization on the Southern entrance and a plaque for the Good Templars a temperance group on the North.

John Muir wrote in his book, The Mountains of California (1894), “MURPHY'S CAMP is a curious old mining-town in Calaveras County, at an elevation of 2400 feet above the sea, situated like a nest in the center of a rough, gravelly region, rich in gold..., and placed invitingly open before the student like a book, while the people and the region beyond the camp furnish mines of study of never-failing interest and variety.”

I'TLY
A collage book and folding screen, 2005, edition of 20, 16 pages
9.5 inches by 15.5, 6 feet 3 inches unfolded
Printed digitally on full color, high temperature toner copiers at C2 Media, NYC, (Print management by Fritz Fernow, C2 Media)
Photography by Marshall Weber and Christopher Wilde,
Poem, collage and page design by Marshall Weber
Italian version of the poem by Peter Spagnuolo
Digital layout and printing by Amy Mees
Binding and slipcase by Damara Kaminecki
Produced with assistance from Booklyn's Inventive Investment Fund.

I'TLY is a lyrical text/image collage of a slightly skewed American artist’s ‘Grand Tour’ of Italy. Photographed primarily in Cortona, Tuscany and Rome. The book’s verso side focuses on the distanced ‘long shot’ of the tourist’s perspective with an English text, while the recto features the text in Italian and extreme close-ups in order to convey the more intimate perspective of a native resident. The sacred and the profane, the mundane and the spectacular, the ancient and the contemporary are all juxtaposed within the text and the images as they are in Italy itself. The structure of the book is twofold; it can be ‘read’ as a codex book, continuing the page turning from the verso to the recto or it can be exhibited as a two-sided screen in the tradition of the Asian screen painting, taken out and unfolded for friends.

Eleven
2002, 72 pages, 9" x 6", first edition of 29, second edition of 19, digitally printed Fiery color copies on high gloss photographic quality paper. Hand bound with black Laval velvet, includes an audio CD.

A photographic essay by Marshall Weber documenting the visual and text environment of downtown New York City in the weeks after 9/11 with texts by various New York writers.

The book has an innovative structure of alternating vertical and horizontal page-spread orientation. The alternating orientation prompts the reader to rotate the book 90 degrees with each page turn. A small white or black silhouette of the WTC Towers rises from the bottom right hand corner of every page-spread to assist the reader with keeping the proper page orientation. Two recessed bars on the front cover both recall the missing Towers and act as a mnemonic device to remind the reader where the front of the book is located since the direction of page turning varies with the page orientation. The constant re-orientation produces a visceral experience of vertigo that evokes the intensely disorienting atmosphere of 9/11 yet still keeps the reader engaged with the texts and images. In exhibition the Eleven book is mounted on a turntable for easy manipulation by readers.

Accompanied by a CD (set into the back inside cover) produced by Christopher Wilde, featuring texts from the book recited by the authors: writer Ellis Avery, Judith Foster (director of the Neighborhood School, a downtown Manhattan public elementary school), artist/journalist MT Karthik, poet/chanteuse Jane LeCroy, poet/civil rights activist Peter Spagnuolo and M. Weber. A Booklyn publication.

Souvenir
2003, edition of 35, 28 pages, 8 inches by 5.5, 10 AP copies numbered 1960-1969, on Mohawk Vellum paper and other archival papers and clothes.
Digital layout and printing by Amy Mees
Book design and production by Mark Wagner
Collage and page design by Marshall Weber
Signed by the artists, with different talismanic vintage portraits taken from the original to suggest the appearence of the artistsThe Galaxy yearbook, in a slipcover.

Souvenir is a deconstruction of The Galaxy, Marion Rudiwitz's 1969 High School Yearbook (from Francis Lewis High School in Fresh Meadows New York, on Long Island) into an old stamp album. One night early in 1999 I found the yearbook in a pile of (Marion's) belongings, which had been tossed onto the curb on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. It was an obvious eviction/split quick/death/illness/landlord-threw-stuff-into-the-street situation. I took the book home and my friends and I cruelly laughed at it for a few days. Then in an act of nostalgic piety and apology I spent the next three years tearing the yearbook apart and reassembling it into a vintage stamp album.

Souvenir is a simulacrum of the acclaimed unique collage book of the same name. The original collages were digitally scanned at a high resolution, color corrected so that the high quality Fiery Laser Jet printed pages match the unique book’s pages. It is constructed with cellophane interleaves that visually and tactilely recreate the reading experience of the unique book.

Souvenir is a talismanic antidote to revisionist attempts to diminish the legacy of the 60’s; a decade which still holds a revealing ethical mirror to our present consumer culture’s brutality and arrogance. It recalls a time when college students in the United States had class-consciousness with interests different from those of their parents. The student class had idealistic goals beyond securing a super-sized version of their parent’s lifestyle. That traditional class-consciousness (heir to the ‘Fourth Estate’ of Revolutionary France) survives in fragments, but has been greatly degraded. Oops - there goes the generation gap, easily crossed and taped over by SUV and MTV. (The unique, original collage book ofSouvenir is also available.)

MAGAZINE EXCAVATIONS Images
MAIM, 2003, 14 pages, ed. of 13, 10 3/4" x 8 1/2", a collaboration with Felice Lau of Felix Press AKA Felix. Felix subscribed to Maxim magazine (a men’s lifestyle publication) for a year and collaged each figure on the cover and then sent them to Weber who formed poetry concrete from the page field. The result is a devastating critique of the magazine's ‘barely’ disguised hideousness.

The Installation of 12 collage ‘relics’
2000-2001. The collages combine calligraphy and multiple coats of acrylic ink on found, cut and otherwise treated magazine pages. They are modern relics of fashion martyrdom. Various sizes from 8’x10" to 3" x 3". The ‘relics’ are installed in a small (6 foot wide by twelve feet long) crypt-like room that is entirely black and keep cold by a small air conditioner whose sound is masked by a recorded sound loop of the indistinguishable murmurs of a whispering crowd. The collage relics are discreetly spotlighted so that there is no other ambient light. The effect is one of walking through an underground tomb looking at religious relics. As the viewers wander through a World’s Fair/Disney-like recreation of a cold dank Roman crypt they witness fashion icons crucified in a transmogrification of modeling pose to anorexic passion. The stigmatized models exemplify the ubiquitous bodily sacrifice to both literal and metaphoric consumption, while the walk through the tomb re-inscribes the epiphany of religious tourism.

The Catalog is a simulacrum mail order fashion catalog of color photocopied collages constructed from the pages of various ‘real’ mail order catalogs and other magazine sources. Published by Artichoke Yink Press

The Catalog...is a takeoff of a women's fashion catalog...it uses photo-collage to give us page after page of models whose clothes appear to be dissolving into the landscapes or cityscapes in which they stand. Occasionally it is the clothes that remain natural while the women’s skin dissolves into the surrounding sky. Slickly produced, the catalog would pass at a glance for the real thing-but its lyrical images, while identifiable as "fashion" photos, are unmistakably metaphors for the dissolution of the subject into the products she consumes. In paying equal attention to the rules of art and politics-including meeting the commercial world on its own terms-this is a piece worthy of Guy Debord." - Tom McTaggart, December 5, 1996, "The Stranger", a weekly newspaper from Seattle, WA

House of Ghosts, 2000, box – 20 x 9 x 3 inches, book – 11 x 14” inches, a collaboration with Mark Wagner. A unique artists' book and box, metal fixtures, Plexiglas, various papers, calligraphy, chalk, charcoal, collage, drawing, pencil, ink. Concept, documents, pages and text, calligraphy and collage by Weber, binding, book and box construction, by Wagner.

“In House of Ghosts,…the wood assemblage was intended for another sculptural object that didn’t fit, but now houses a unique book residing in the assemblage shaped like a house. The pieces of wood are parts from various lathes, pictures frames and rulers. A book rests inside a box with a Plexiglas window, a found brass fixture in the shape of a skull over the opening of the niche. The concept, documents, text, calligraphy, collage and pages treated with ink, chalk, charcoal and pencil are by Marshall Weber; the binding and box construction by Mark Wagner. The poem is written in a codex book sewn on linen tapes from a variety of papers with hand-drawn architectural plans. The underlying conceit for book and box is the architectural structure of the house as a metaphor for the human body in which a journey of psychic exile and repatriation traverses the interior emotional terrain of the body. The skin acts as pages together with a physiological substratum upon which the story is written, a literal embodiment of a narrative map.” - Constance Woo, Dean of Libraries, Long Island University, unpublished paper for the Rutgers Book Arts Symposium, 2003

THE EDITIONED VERSION
A collaboration of Marshall Weber and Christopher Wilde. The edition of House of Ghosts is an exemplary Booklyn publication in that it aesthetically integrates book structure and content into a resonant composition by combining traditional and digital media. The typography and book design was created by Christopher Wilde, and the covers were designed and relief printed by Mark Wagner.

First edition: 2000, 6 x 8 3/4 inches, edition of 50, black and white Epsom ink jet printing over penciled found architectural drawings on onion skin paper. The text is printed backwards on architectural drawings of suburban New Jersey development houses circa 1986. The pliable onionskin paper is then folded over so one sees the ghostly text floating behind the faint drawings. With a relief printed Mylar cover and Japanese stab binding.

Second edition: 2002, 8 x 8 3/4 inches, edition of 35, black and white Epsom ink jet printing on blueprints of the Manhattan water treatment plant. The text is matched and printed backwards on every verso page giving the illusion of transparency to the pages. With a relief printed Mylar cover and Japanese stab binding.
