Cosey Fanni Tutti is a seismic force in cultural terms. Whether delivering confrontational performances in radical Dadaist art group COUM Transmissions, shaping the mould for industrial music as one quarter of Throbbing Gristle, constructing a prototype for techno and acid house with her partner Chris in Carter Tutti (see Chris & Cosey), or discombobulating the bounds of art with her explorations in glamour modelling, her work has frequently been years ahead of its time. Cosey's work has influenced thought across the creative spectrum. The seminal TG album 20 Jazz Funk Greats was so influential that Carl Craig directly referenced it in his 1991 69 EP 4 Jazz Funk Classics. Cosey has collaborated widely with artists including Monte Cazazza, Coil, Current 93, John Duncan, Erasure, Eurythmics, Boyd Rice, and Robert Wyatt, and always with a distinctly original and genuine approach to music. She continues to produce music, art and video work from the London studio she owns with Chris Carter. Catch her views on being nude, art, her generation and Chris & Cosey versus Throbbing Gristle.
