David Herbert (artist)

[3] In July 2006, Herbert's VHS, a giant replica of a videocassete of 2001: A Space Odyssey was exhibited at Postmasters Gallery in New York City.

[10] In 2008, in the show Amerika: Back to the Future at the Postmasters Gallery, he exhibited a foam-core model of the "Starship Enterprise",[11] supported by a wooden framework and with Paleolithic markings all over it,[12] and also a depiction of Mickey Mouse—"retro-primitivist sculptures [which] reconfigure 20th century icons ... as crudely constructed stone-age totems".

[14] Herbert used American entertainment icons as a subject, transforming Superman into a skeletal figure of pain and Mickey Mouse into a feeble puppet, pointing to the reality behind the travesty of everyday life.

[16] The exhibition took place in the Lange Voorhout avenue and was opened by the Mayor, Jozias van Aartsen; the theme of freedom was chosen for its particular association with the United States.

"[11] In December 2009, Don't Flee the Artmarket was a group show at the Postmasters Gallery of nearly 300 works, one of the "quirky highlights"[21] being Herbert's portraits in graphite of a sad lost R2-D2 and C-3PO.
