Henry Flynt will revisit his seminal 1961 Concept Art work, Transformations, offering a deep, contextual study of the piece and its varied guises over time. Rather than rushing toward an explanation, Flynt will situate Transformations within a wider philosophical and artistic framework, fully exploring Transformations as: a diversion from absurdist computationalist music; a diversion from the derivations of exact science; and a cognitive nihilist object-lesson for exact science regarding derivations. Through this lens, Flynt will address the foundational questions that shaped his early work and their implications for radical art and thought.
