Riley and his Story
02 Mar 2013
The event is over
Riley and his Story, onestar press, is the product of the collaboration of Monica Haller, artist, with Riley Sharbonno, a veteran of the Iraq war, assigned to the Abu Ghraib prison, and with Matthew Rezac, graphic designer. Based on photographs brought back by the soldier and conversations with him, Monica Haller has constructed a book as a form of resistance to the propagation of images on the net. This is Riley’s book, a means of “speaking honestly and openly about this war”. Since its publication, Monica Haller has found herself busy making a series of books with veterans. To talk about this political artistic act, Monica Haller will be in conversation with art historian and critic Stefano Chiodi.
