Italian artist investigated by FBI for Abu Ghraib art project 0
Giuseppe Di Bella tells the chilling story of how he was investigated by the British anti-terrorism police and American FBI for making fake postage stamps with pictures from Abu Ghraib. Pretty ridiculous.
A few weeks after the British authorities incident, I received a phone call from my friend Art informing me that two FBI agent were about to pay him a visit regarding the Abu Ghraib work and myself. As he was obviously concerned about it, I suggested he simply answers their questions and not to worry too much, as it was clear they were inquiring about my artwork and me. The FBI wanted to know where he knew me from, if I had spoken to him about my political views and finally if I had a bigger agenda. (Making new stamps maybe?) The funniest thing about this laughable story is that the two FBI agents were dressed with back suites and black glasses.
