Flynt's work devolves from "cognitive nihilism," first announced in the 1960 and 1961 drafts of Philosophy Proper. He refined these dispensations in the "Is there language?" trap, published as "Primary Study" in 1964. In 1961, Flynt coined the term concept art. Concept art's first appearance in a book was in An Anthology, release date 1963. In 1962, Flynt began to campaign for an anti-art position. He demonstrated against cultural institutions in New York in 1963 with Tony Conrad and Jack Smith, and against Stockhausen twice in 1964. He wanted art to be superseded by "veramusement" and "brend," neologisms meaning approximately pure recreation. http://www.henryflynt.org/ http://www.ubu.com/sound/flynt.html . http://www.henryflynt.org/overviews/artwork_images/42.jpg Tags: performing arts |
