DESCRIPTION:
For her, “industrial” was a way of life, rather than a sound “to be independent, active, productive, thorough, and committed.” She hasn’t wavered from it. A bravura rock memoir vibrating with fierce and fearless memoriesa must-have item for Chris and Cosey and Throbbing Gristle fans." Kirkus Reviews (Starred)""Tutti’s memoir, Art Sex Music, lives up to her promise, brilliantly elucidating the 65-year-old’s complex career as one of the founders of industrial music with Throbbing Gristle in the late ’70s, and an acclaimed performance artist who used her body to probe the dynamics of pornography and S&M. Without a hint of regret, Tutti bares all in the name of art and personal integrity.
Born in Hull in 1951, she currently resides in Norfolk. Her most recent release, ‘f(x)', with her group Carter Tutti Void, was released to great critical acclaim in 2016.. Cosey Fanni Tutti is a performance artist and musician best known for her time in the avant-garde groups Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey
very well done. worth a read. cosey's work as a total artist is covered here in her own words. in addition we have also stories from her personal life growing up in Hull and the events leading to her becoming a professional artist. as a fan of TG primarily i hadn't bargained her story beyond TG would quite so interesting. fascinating even. the narrative is woven seamlessly between art and life in general because she truly has lived her art. but even at point where they diverge she keeps things moving along nicely.my main criticism coming away. L.L. Soares said Terrific memoir by Cosey Fanni Tutti. Terrific memoir by Cosey Fanni Tutti, a founding member of the British performance art troup COUM, the highly influential band Throbbing Gristle (who pretty much invented Industrial music), and the excellent electronic music pioneers (formed from the ashes of TG) Chris & Cosey. She talks about her careers in performance, music, and art; her time working in the sex industry; and her life, in a very engaging way. A true music icon, I found this book fascinating and inspiratonal. Cosey Terrific memoir by Cosey Fanni Tutti L.L.

"A bravura rock memoir vibrating with fierce and fearless memoriesa must-have item for Chris and Cosey and Throbbing Gristle fans" Kirkus Reviews (Starred)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.
