About this listen

Art Sex Music is the autobiography of a musician who, as a founding member of the avant-garde group Throbbing Gristle and electronic pioneers Chris & Cosey, has consistently challenged the boundaries of music over the past four decades.

It is the account of an artist who, as part of COUM Transmissions, represented Britain at the IXth Biennale de Paris, whose Prostitution show at the ICA in 1976 caused the Conservative MP Nicholas Fairbairn to declare her, COUM and Throbbing Gristle "Wreckers of Civilisation"...shortly before he was arrested for indecent exposure, and whose work continues to be held at the vanguard of contemporary art. And it is the story of her work as a pornographic model and striptease artiste which challenged assumptions about morality, erotica, and art. Wise, shocking, and elegant, this is the life of Cosey Fanni Tutti.

Contains mature themes.

I took a punt on this as Cosey was the most interesting part of the coum transmissions doc on BBC 4. Glad I did. Now a fan of TG and Coseys life and approach is facinating.

Excellent book

I was gripped from the start. I have very fond memories of Throbbing Gristle, as a teenager in the 80s experimenting with a certain type of mushroom. I hadn’t understood how much more there was to their collective story. Huge respect to Cosey Fanni Tutti. I’m going to seek out as much of her other work as I can find.

Wow. What a story.

.but is it art?

I found the narration a little bit jarring, she seemed to put the emphasis on the wrong words every now and then, and her Hull accent seemed a bit too ee by gum.

I'd like to understand more about what motivated Cosey et al to do some of the more shocking stuff, eg what was the point of making a film depicting castration?

I'd like to know what caused Genesis P Orridge to be so awful.

Overall a good listen.

Interesting..

I absolutely loved listening to the trials and tribulations, ups, downs and triumphs of one of the UK’s most underrated and groundbreaking female artists. Thanks for forging the way and enabling others to follow in your footsteps.

Impatiently awaiting the screenplay 🙏🏻
