THE FLYNTS ROCKIN" MIDNIGHT WITH ELISABETH FLYNT LISBOA ON TEST ON ART OPENING 29 FEB 2008 12 pm Henry Flynt is a philosopher, musician, anti-art activist and exhibited artist. Flynts 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 arts 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 He wanted art to be superseded by veramusement and brend, neologisms meaning approximately pure recreation.
