Alongside these works are Brannon's notes on the objects and situations they depict, constructing a detailed chronology of the war and a complex overview of the consequences of US intervention in Southeast Asia. Designed by Studio LHOOQ in close collaboration with the artist, <i>Concerning Vietnam</i> collects the entire series of prints and texts, with a new essay on the work by curator Veronica Roberts and a conversation between the artist and Vietnam historian Mark Atwood Lawrence.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Brannon's "Concerning Vietnam" has credibly met the genre's monumental demand--that the artist speak not only of, but also through, a country and its people.--Jan Tumlir "Artforum"<br>
