MoMA | For the sake of thought: Provoke, 1968–1970: “”

“Provoke (Purovōku) was an experimental magazine founded by photographers Yutaka Takanashi and Takuma Nakahira, critic Koji Taki, and writer Takahiko Okada in 1968. The magazine’s subtitle read as: shisō no tame no chōhatsuteki shiryō (Provocative documents for the sake of thought).”

Why Art

Does art have a role?

Is it private, for the artist only, or is it a public, societal one?

Can art be strictly defined or partitioned?

I operate as though I have answers to these questions; I have to, otherwise they would keep me in bed, unable to sleep.
