A LOOK AT GEN'S UNDERREPRESENTED LONG-HAIRED, GOATEE YEARS -- CLASS OF '69.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a long-haired, goateed Genesis P-Orridge (1950-2020) and his then significant other, Cosey Fanni Tutti (b. 1951), c. 1969. 📸: John Krivine.

PIC #2: A COUM performance outside Feren's art gallery in Hull, UK, c. 1971 (Tutti second from left).

"I’d gone to an “acid test” at the union at Hull University. I walked in, paid my entrance fee and received my tab. People were already tripping when I arrived: they were on the floor groping one another or playing with a bathtub of coloured jelly. A guy was playing the saxophone, free jazz-style. The notes were so jarring, fast and scatty that it drove me crazy. As I went to leave, I saw what I thought was a hallucination: a small, beautiful guy dressed in a black graduation gown, complete with mortarboard and a wispy, pale-lilac goatee beard.

About a week later, I was out dancing when a guy came over to me and said: “Cosmosis, Genesis would like to see you.” “What?” It was explained to me that a guy called Genesis had seen me and named me Cosmosis. It was the man I thought I had hallucinated, and he wanted us to get together. “Gen was so beautiful,” reads an entry in my diary for November 1969. "His eyes were a clear blue, his hair dark brown and his skin a clear, golden colour. He smiled so beautifully.""

KNOCKING BACK A WEE DRAMA (OR TWO) DAVID BALL: treading softly Pic by Joe Shutter

Record Mirror magazine, 23 July 1983, Simon Tebbutt — full article text bellow

If you thought David Ball, the normally quieter side of the Soft Cell, had been so silent lately he must be off digging the potatoes in his allotment — forget it.

While Cell mate Marc Almond has been busy handling his Mambas over the past months, young Dave has been beavering away on the soundtrack for a play and a film and putting the finishing touches to his soon to be released solo LP.

“This year I've spent most of my time in the studio,” he says. “I've got a lot better at building up sounds and arranging.”

The play, Tennessee Williams' ‘Suddenly Last Summer’, a steamy tale of heat-oppressed passion set in New Orleans and now running at the New End Theatre in Hampstead, came about by chance.

“I was sitting in a hotel bar and started chatting to this bloke who turned out to be an actor,” says Dave. “I said if he could think of anything that would be good to put music to but keep as a play, not a musical, then I'd be interested.

“He phoned me up about two months later and said he wanted to do ‘Suddenly Last Summer’. Tennessee Williams is perfect, he's just so dramatic.”

The music, like the play, which Dave has financed himself, is heavily atmospheric and doom laden. And it has opened doors for the musician in the wonderful world of movie soundtracks.

“I'm doing a German film called ‘Decoder’ — it stars the real Christiane F and William Burroughs makes a cameo appearance. I really like the idea of the music emphasising and sometimes overstating what is going on in the action.”

All these themes have come together in Dave's solo work, provisionally titled ‘In Strict Tempo’.

“That's because of a track on the album called Strict Tempo,” he explains. “It started off as a military rhythm and then I got David Claridge to do a voice-over talking about his club Skin II. So you've got the military side of it, the discipline, and the rubber.

“I've got Psychic TV's Genesis P. Orridge singing on a couple of tracks, one of which, ‘The Troubled Sleeper’ or ‘Sincerity’, will be a single.

“The whole album is about musical cliches all put together in the wrong order. Like taking a country and western guitar solo and putting in the middle of a funk track. But it all works. If it didn't work, I wouldn't use it.”

But don't worry, gentle reader, this flurry of individual activity doesn't spell the end for Soft Cell.

“For me doing this solo stuff has been a break,” says Dave. “Marc and I play each other what we've done all the time. We're working on ideas that we'd only dabbled in with Soft Cell. Everything is more powerful. And now we're collecting bits for a new Soft Cell album at the end of the summer.”

Artist Research

21/10/22

While in the photography studio on Thursday 20th, Paul Tarpey recommended some artists that would be interesting to research regarding my theme of make up. They aren't your typical artists, however, they link in with my concept of makeup/altering your appearance, but they don't necessarily follow the terms of temporary. These artists are all extreme in their own way and I find them all equally interesting. ORLAN and Genesis P-Orridge are the most similar, but they all show an extreme dedication to their projects, and use non-traditional art forms, such as their own bodies.

ORLAN

ORLAN is a French contemporary artist, known for her body modifications in the name of art. Here, with ORLAN, I'm looking at the permanent side of makeup, where people take their everyday temporary image and go that step further to make it last. She uses the operating theatre as a stage, and puts on a performance with costumes and props during her cosmetic surgeries, with just local anaesthetic to numb the pain. ORLAN quoted in an article on Artnet, “I have been the first artist to use aesthetic surgery in another context—not to appear younger or better according to the designated pattern. I wanted to disrupt the standards of beauty.”

Amalia Ulman with Excellences & Perfections

Amalia Ulman presented us with 'Excellences & Perfections' as an unfolding narrative of an online influencer type on her Instagram account. She took on the personas of three women through fantasy and illusion. The personas posted photos of flowers, food, their reflections in mirrors, created sets that looked like hotel bedrooms, and spoke blandly of love and self empowerment. She sort of created these characters based on stereotypes, just like Cindy Sherman. She was dedicated to this art piece of hers, getting a breast augmentation and dying her hair from its natural brown to blond. Although she doesn't use makeup in anyway in E&P, she is similar to ORLAN, with her dedication and seriousness when it comes to her work. I found her interesting, as it creates an idea of what beauty influencers on social media were like in the 2010s, and what standards they instilled in the viewers mind. The work existed on its viewers’ phones, of course it did, but it also existed in their minds — Ulman as a sprite, hanging out in their consciousness even when they weren’t looking at the work itself. 

Genesis P-Orridge

Genesis P-Orridge was many things; a poet, a writer, a performance artist and a singer songwriter. When they fell in love with his wife, Jacqueline, also known as Lady Jaye, P-Orridge put it best "as we became more and more obsessively in love, we had that whole feeling of ‘I wish I could eat you up. I wish I could just take you, and I become you and you become me,’ ” and that's exactly what they did. They became an almost carbon copy of their wife, who was a blonde Twiggy-esque woman. They called the project “Pandrogeny” and even got matching breast implants on Valentine's Day one year and P-Orridge refers to themselves as 'we', as if them and their wife were one. I find P-Orridge very strange, but at the same time I love it. It was an art project but with tones of love underneath, which somehow makes it more interesting. Again, very similar to ORLAN, its the permanent side of makeup/beauty, but I think with this, and because he mimicked their wife out of love, it seems so sweet and kind. It's almost a positive of the permanent side of beauty. “I know it sounds weird,” he says gently. “We could have bought a house or something like that. But we’re artists. Artists do art. It’s not rational.”
