Misunderstandings (A Theory of Photography) from 1967-1970, Mel Bochner - SFMOMA

From Horses Think:

Misunderstandings (A Theory of Photography) from 1967-1970 isn’t photography per se but it definitely touches on and explores many ideas surrounding the medium.  

In a portfolio of nine photo offset prints on white lined notecard, Bochner compiled a selection of quotes relating to photography and included three that were fakes. Those were then placed in a manilla envelope with one offset printed photograph.

See an interview of Mel Bochner and Hans Ulrich Obrist and Sandra Antelo-Suarez at http://www.e-flux.com/projects/do_it/notes/interview/i003_text.html

Mel Bochner:

I always enjoy going to the SFMOMA and looking at Modern Art.  The work makes you think, insults you, and inspires.  I also like the area where visitors can create their own art or comments.  This one got to my funny bone.
