Cosey
Fanni Tutti began her career in 1969. She is a hugely respected artist and
musician, known for her performance art, her work in the sex industry, as
co-founder of Throbbing Gristle, and her pioneering electronic music as half of
Chris & Cosey and Carter Tutti.
Further
praise for Art Sex Music:
‘An
extraordinary life.’ Alexis Petridis, Guardian
‘It’s
taken half a lifetime for Cosey Fanni Tutti to be recognized for her
achievements in art, performance and music… Art Sex Music isn’t merely a
memoir, then; it’s a chance for Tutti to clear up the misconceptions about her
career and reclaim her own narrative – and what an extraordinary narrative it
is. This is the tale of a preternaturally creative individual dedicated to
challenging and, where possible, breaking down ideological and social barriers,
often at enormous personal cost. It’s also about resourcefulness amid
astonishing unpleasant and hardship… Darkly funny … Though the details of
Tutti’s career are consistently fascinating, these glimpses of life outside it
are what gives the book its warmth.’ Fiona Sturges, Book of the Day, Guardian
‘Tutti’s
commitment to individualism precludes any wider political perspective on the
industrial culture she helped to instigate, but this fierce adhrence to
herself… has taken her closer to the action than most.’ Wire
Pg.2
‘Fascinating…
This book is certainly a treat for fans of Throbbing Gristle, adding much
information to what is already in print… In Art Sex Music, Tutti’s clarity and
poise help set the record straight on many episodes in the oft tormented life
of the band. Yet, it would be wrong to posit the “Throbbing Gristle
connoisseur” as the implied reader of her memoirs. Tutti’s recollections,
triggered by the discovery of her diaries, touch on so many aspects of her personal
life, her solo and collaborative work in the fields of performance,
photography, pornography, and music, that they succeed in welcoming the casual
reader just as much as the Throbbing Gristle completist.’ Giuseppe Zevolli,
Drowned in Sound
‘In a
frequently jaw-dropping rollercoaster tale, Cosey pulls few punches, claiming
her relevance to a modern world people take for granted.’ Kris Needs, Record
Collector
‘A
fearless and frequently eye-popping account of her life.’ Uncut
‘”Far
out” was once a term referring to the avant garde in both visual and musical
art. Cosey was far out from the off, as far as I remember. Some artists may
take it up to the limit; Cosey’s art starts from the accepted limit.’ Robert
Wyatt
‘Cosey
Fanni Tuti is the personification of self-empowerment; her art and music has
made an imprint onto several generations of curious minds. We all imagine the
stories of our heroes, but it’s a true pleasure to hear them from the original
Wrecker of Civilisation herself.’ Sasha Grey

Author’s
Note
As I was
researching for an exhibition, going through some of my old diaries to
fact-check, I got totally distracted and drawn into my past and ended up
reading for hours. I finally closed the diaries and put them back in the
cupboard, all chronologically lined up, like my story in waiting. I knew at
that moment what form my book would take. If I was going to enter the lion’s
den of my past, it would be by using my diaries as my primary source. They
offered an unblinkered view into my mindset of that time, and I could avoid the
misty goggles of retrospection. The diaries evoked strong feelings of extreme
happiness, my spirited passionate self, and the not-so- good feelings of dark
sadness and pain. It was a revelatory process and they provided exactly what I needed
– albeit a harsh and definitely not rose-tinted view of my past.
