Rod Webber, an artist and filmmaker, says when he sees BS, he calls BS. Also a performance artist, he says nine times out of 10, his actions are “pretty spontaneous.”
So, last Friday, when he saw Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, claim that neither Hunter Biden nor the Biden administration would receive any information about buyers or prices of Hunter’s art being sold through a Soho gallery, Webber sprung into action.
Within an hour of Psaki’s press conference, Webber, who lives in Boston, entered the Georges Bergès Gallery, at 462 West Broadway. Hunter Biden’s artwork is not on view there currently. But an exhibit of 15 of his paintings — his first art exhibit ever — is slated to open there in October.

Wearing paint-splattered jeans, Webber stealthily strode to a wall, whipped out a spray can and started to write “Daddy” on it in pink letters. He intended to spell out “Daddy War Crimes,” a take on Daddy Warbucks of “Little Orphan Annie” fame.
Before he could even finish one word, though, a young gallerist — reportedly Rustam “Jack” Davletshin — tackled Webber and then held him in a bear hug until cops arrived. All the while, as they were grappling and rolling around, Webber kept recording it on his phone, as did an apparent colleague of his who was also there.

Webber, 47, also is known for a similar act at Art Basel in December 2019, when he wrote in lipstick on an empty wall, “Epstein didn’t kill himself.” Before Webber scrawled his graffiti, the wall had a banana duct-taped to it that sold for $120,000 but was subsequently eaten by a different performance artist.

This guy isn't a Trump fan, and I don't condone defacing private property.
But it is funny.
One of the greatest movies ever.
I watched the whole thing, not expecting to be drawn into it. I was. I had forgotten just how CrAzY some people can be when they want attention. Kooky crazy, not violent, just wild and with a motor mouth on top of it.
“Igor”, or the erstwhile security guard seemed fully winded, sweaty and exausted early on.
The performance artist reminded me that there are some people who know they may ‘get in trouble’ and guess what?
They don’t care! They soak up any attention like a thirsty sponge and demand more of the same. He took handfulls of what appeared to be real $1. Bills and threw them in the air to “Make It Rain” like Biden. Wild and crazy but inspiring in his own way.
Yes, I too got sucked in. I was amazed that his associate kept the "tape" rolling for so long.
On some level, it's nice knowing there are some people who simply DGAF. If he did this at a Trump event, I'd probably smile less but I'd respect his tenacity.
In my opinion Hunter Biden’s “art” is no different then politician’s ghost written books, legal ways to pay and accept bribes.
The guy standing next to him looks like Mark Steyn.
