An Evening with Genesis Breyer P-Orridge

The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

The artist discusses works he created with the 1970s British avant-garde performance collective COUM Transmissions


sintesi del comunicato stampa

New York-based artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (b. Great Britain, 1950) has been testing the limits and conventions of music, language, art, and identity for almost 40 years. As a founding member of the seminal industrial band Throbbing Gristle, P-Orridge made music history. More recently, in collaboration with his partner Lady Jaye, the artist started an ongoing experiment in body modification aimed at creating one "pandrogynous" being. For this discussion, P-Orridge focuses on works created with the 1970s British avant-garde performance collective COUM Transmissions. The group's collaboration culminated in the 1976 retrospective Prostitution at London's I.C.A. Gallery, which was vehemently attacked by the press and even debated in British Parliament. P-Orridge will show rare footage and images of COUM's performances.
