Webb's solo debut was an exhibition entitled "Gary Webb plays Gary Webb" at The Approach in 1998. In 2000 he collaborated with Keith Farquhar on a sculptural installation at the Approach, and in 2001 he curated the group show "Brown," for the same gallery.

Webb participated in "Early One Morning", a group exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, in 2002. Reviewing the show, Richard Dorment described him as "the most original young artist I've come across in almost 15 years of writing art criticism." His first solo exhibition in a public gallery was at the Chisenhale Gallery in 2004.
