Brian Weissman

Brian Weissman is a co-founder of Specific Gravity and Brooklyn Metal Works, a collaborative metalsmithing studio, exhibition space, and concept lab.

As an artist, Brian enjoys working with traditional metalsmithed objects to examine how their socially, politically and culturally inherited meanings and values can be distorted through a constantly changing world. Through these explorations he tries to find the humor and beauty in the objects he creates.
