Cosey Fanni Tutti

Born: 1951-11-04

Cosey Fanni Tutti (born Christine Carol Newby, 4 November 1951) is an English performance artist, musician and writer, best known for her time in the avant-garde groups Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey. Tutti first performed under the name Cosmosis. According to Throbbing Gristle biographer Simon Ford, the name of Cosey Fanni Tutti was suggested to her by artist Robin Klassnick based on the title of the opera Così fan tutte, meaning literally "That's What All Women Do." Tutti had a long career as a stripper and in the fields of pornographic film and magazines stemming from a desire to incorporate her own image into collages that she produced in this period. This willingness to consciously participate in the process of commercial image production has inspired a number of visual and performance artists. Some of her performance artwork has also drawn on her experience as an adult performer. From Wikipedia.
