- Comment: Please read WP:REFB to learn how to cite and why bare links are not ideal, especially for a BLP. I would not accept it in this state but will leave it for someone else to decide. Star Mississippi 03:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: We need independent reliable sources about Weber. As he is the co-founder and directing curator at Booklyn Artist Alliance, their own site is not usable as far as determining notability. Star Mississippi 18:28, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Marshall Weber is an artist, archivist, curator, and publisher. He is the co-founder and directing curator at Booklyn Artist Alliance..[1] In 1982, he co-founded the Martin Weber Gallery in San Francisco to showcase the new genre of "video art." In 1984 the gallery became Artists' Television Access, a community arts center in San Francisco.[2] [3] He received a BA and MFA (1981) from the San Francisco Art Institute.
While best known for his outspoken advocacy for artists and cultural organisations that work outside of the conventional academic and commercial art world[4], he has garnered attention with his own work as well.[5] [6]
Weber has created artists’ books, collage, poetry, photography, printmaking, video, and performance art. He has collaborated on dozens of artists’ books with a diverse group of artists and poets including: CUBA, Stephen Dupont, Alejandro Murguía, Eliana Perez, Veronika Schäpers, Brian D. Tripp, Crystal Valentine, and Xu Bing. His artists’ books are held by the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, the Bavarian State Library, the Boston Athenaeum, the German National Library, the Herzog August Library, the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, Stanford University, the State Library of Queensland, and the University of California at Irvine. His Zine archive is held by the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Weber was the recipient of the 2019 Herzog August Bibliothek Artists’ Book Prize Fellow and is associated with the California Rare Book School.[7]
He has organized innovative funding and publishing projects for activist arts and social justice organizations, including co-producing a portfolio to benefit the Occuprint Project of the Occupy Wall Street movement, working on art projects with Bulletspace, EZLN (Zapatistas), Food Not Bombs, About Face: Veterans Against the War, Justseeds, World War 3 Illustrated, Voces de la Frontera and other organizations.[7]
Since the 1980's Weber has also produced performance work. In 1994 he created the "Ulysses Cycle" - a decade long series of marathon recitals of literature in public spaces with a 33 hour long reading of James Joyce’s Ulysses. The "Cycle" ended with a 23 hour long recital of Homer's Odyssey on the Staten Island Ferry during the 2004 Republican convention and included a 72 hour long recital of the Old and New Testament at the Angel Orensanz Art Center in Loisaida. In 2012, Weber performed a 72 hour recitation of Beat poetry in San Francisco as part of the Streetopia Festival.[8]
Weber's art, archivist and curatorial activity often focus on social justice issues and decolonization.[9]
