I designed the first Human Weeble Wobble in 1995 in NYC for a performance art event called The Deviant Playground. Artists were asked to make interactive works of art and performance. Nobody was certain It would work and it was a bold and exciting experiment. As soon as i had fabricated it, i gave it a test and it rode beautifully!! I had the original Weeble in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, for years until it disappeared in 2003. It was fascinating to ride and i loved to let the audience play on it. In this sense, it is a sculpture that breaks the 4th wall unifying the audience and artwork into a creative whole. The audience takes care of the work, and each other, often teaching newcomers how to use it. The Weeble creates its own society with its own sense of governance. I released footage of me riding the Weeble from 2001 onto instagram in 2016 and the video went viral. Since then i created a new Human Weeble Wobble, owned by two collectors, Nick Hugo Schmidt and his partner, in Bushwick, BK in the fall of 2017. Footage of the new Weeble went very viral on social media. The Weeble is available for events and i also fabricate them for sale. The sculpture was recently featured in a Vice video that covered an open to the public riding event and interviews with me the originator, at Superchief Gallery in Bushwick, in February of 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac56ee4d274cb4cce4ed64b/1528500462362-5ODU745RUFDJCVTVNXPV/IMG_0581+copy.jpg Projects - Adam and Eve in Pesto Pizza, 2010, felt fabric banner 36"x38" Pizza Infinity was a body of work that was developed while i was overseas on a residency in Basel, Switzerland for 6 months in 2007 after slowly befriending a local pizza restaurant across the street from a major museum, The Beyeler Foundation. The pizza place was the only spot to eat at night and i frequented it often. They had Picasso posters on the wall to loosely appeal to the museum crowd, and the establishment reminded me of my childhood pizza place in Pennsylvania where i grew up. i proposed an art show about Pizza to the owners and i fabricated and sight specifically installed a series of felt banners about Pizza as a consumerist religious icon. I moved to Berlin that summer and produced a solo show entitled Pizza Infinity at Brot Und Spiel, a young gallery in Berlin. i made a huge Last Supper With Pizza felt banner and a corresponding Last Supper table in the room, meant to mimic the image on the wall, I served Pizza and Beer and invited the audience to sit around the table. The Last Supper on the wall correlated with the people at the table in an odd and surreal manner. I Installed many other Pizza pieces as well. I went on to produce many more Pizza banners and showed them at art fairs in Miami, New York and Puerto Rico. I Produced Pizza Infinity drawings and there were some performances also. The work was intentionally childlike in its aesthetic at times in order to probe the deeper meaning and feel in consumerist culture. i felt that pizza was a metaphor for the body. I was often combining figures and pizzas together in the compositions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac56ee4d274cb4cce4ed64b/1527550684710-EYJ5F9ZT2J0V15AXGHY4/Hillary+signed.jpg Projects - Alex wth Hillary Clinton, October 25, 1999 Hillary's Birthday Party, Ford Center, Autographed As an immersive work of performance art, I went undercover for one year at night posing as famed fashion designer Diane Vonfurstenberg's son, Alex. Using the name and a cheap vintage $20 suit "Alex" infiltrated hundreds of high profile celebrity parties in NYC in 1999 and 2000, meeting scores of luminaries such as Puff Daddy, Ivana Trump and even the President at the time, Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton. The wherabouts of the celebs were gleaned from public information; the Gossip pages of The New York Post and the Daily News. Sixty photographs make up the limited edition Vonfurstenberg Photo collection. All the photos were taken by handing a 35mm point and shoot camera to strangers in the vicinity, an homage to Duchamp’s ideas of chance operations. The project became a national scandal in the media and was featured on Television, ABC’s 20/20, on the front page of The New York Observer and in tabloids such as The Globe, to name a few. It was my first New York solo show at Roebling Hall gallery In Williamsburg, Brooklyn in October of 2000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac56ee4d274cb4cce4ed64b/1610838362782-FHST8UA53O3U5473LQFH/Adam+and+Eve+With+Razor+Blades+mariah+retouch+final+for+print.jpg Projects - Adam And Eve Covered In Razor Blades, 2020 Edition of three 46”x32” inches, Edition of five 23”x16” inches These large Resemblagé pieces represent my newest creative directions for 2020 and 2021. Adam and Eve Covered In Razor Blades and Burning On The Inside were produced for a commissioned spread in Interview Magazine’s Spring 2020 issue. The other five pieces were produced for my Solo show with Unit London Gallery’s ‘Platform’ series, opening in January 2021. The model in Adam and Eve is Caroline Caldwell. All artistic Concepts fully developed and preliminary shots by Nobody and all final shots, seen here, were taken by Anna Yatskevich. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac56ee4d274cb4cce4ed64b/1527546881109-VQ8X6MSUFDWUR781YPRU/SchitzoSalad.JPG Projects - Schitzo Salad Man, Resemblage 2017, 16"x16" ed. of 5 I created the word Resemblage (the combination of the words resemble and collage) to describe the type of art i’m making as the character David Nobody. These Prints represent the singular body of ephemeral and shapeshifting self portraits created on @davidhenrynobodyjr. As a virtual conciousness with No Body on Social Media, Mr Nobody defies the corporatized cookie-cutter versions of the vanity of ourselves. Resemblage is like an inside out person and shows the grotesque, cryptic and traumatized side of humanity hidden behind the masks of the everyday. He wears the excesses of consumerist society on his exterior self to expose and question society. He wears food to show how we live in waste and that we ourselves are essentially food for corporations. David Nobody’s immersion into this mental/emotional space of Resemblage stems from the still new medium of the internet, which gazes into us far more than we look into it (which is unprecedented) This new way of feeling is affecting how we see ourselves and each other through troubling and distorted political times. The work is as much a Sociological experiment as an expansion of what art can possibly become in the present and the future. https://www.davidhenrybrownjr.com/about daily 0.75 2019-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac56ee4d274cb4cce4ed64b/1527541800366-8NY6WEH7OCWFS6CSF76A/Hillary+signed.jpg About Alex Vonfurstenberg with Hillary Clinton, signed, 2000. https://www.davidhenrybrownjr.com/resume daily 0.75 2025-09-26 https://www.davidhenrybrownjr.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-05-28 https://www.davidhenrybrownjr.com/press daily 0.75 2025-09-26
