  • Coum Transmissions va ser un col·lectiu artístic, en funcionament des de finals dels anys 60 fins a finals de la dècada dels 70, caracteritzat per unes atuacions sovint destinades a impactar i forçar els límits i la tolerància dels seus espectadors. (ca)
  • Coum Transmissions (CT) war eine subkulturelle Gruppe von britischen Musikern, Undergroundfilmemachern, Aktions- und Konzeptkünstlern, die Anfang der 1970er Jahre durch aggressive, provokante und schockierend-verstörende Performances medienpräsent auf sich aufmerksam machte und zu den Wegbereitern des späteren Industrial zählt. Basierend auf fragmentarischen Ideen des Dada, Neo-Dada, des Fluxus, der Merry Pranksters, sowie Schriften von William S. Burroughs, Aleister Crowley oder Brion Gysin und vor dem Hintergrund der beginnenden Punkbewegung verfolgte die Gruppe das nonkonformistische Ziel, jegliche Grenzen des herkömmlichen Kunstverstands, der gesellschaftlichen (und menschlichen) Konventionen und Normen sowie deren Ästhetik in Frage zu stellen und zu sprengen. Hauptakteure der Gruppe waren im Wesentlichen Genesis P-Orridge und Cosey Fanni Tutti, zwei der Gründungsmitglieder der späteren Industrial-Musikgruppe Throbbing Gristle. (de)

Later members included Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson and Chris Carter, who together with P-Orridge and Fanni Tutti went on to found the pioneering industrial band Throbbing Gristle in 1976. It had a rotating membership, and included both intellectual and criminal elements and existed formally from 1969 until 1976. In that year, Genesis & Cosey exhibited at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts in a show called Prostitution, which consisted of explicit photographs of lesbians, assemblages of rusty knives, syringes, bloodied hair, used sanitary towels, press clippings and photo documentation of COUM performances in Milan and Paris. There was a lot of outrage expressed by London newspapers and UK politicians, including Tory MP Nicholas Fairbairn, who referred to COUM as the "wreckers of Western civilization". However, memberships to the ICA increased sharply as a result of the COUM show. The last official COUM performances and art shows took place in 1976. Around that time, Genesis proclaimed to be through with performance art. Cosey, on the other hand, felt she had only just begun. Though she feels the name COUM to be "tainted" now and unusable, she has been known to say her individual projects are still a part of the COUM family of work. In fact, for a while she operated a website called Coum. (en)

  • "COUM enable all kinds of people to discover their abilities to express ideas through different media. COUM believe that you don't NEED special training to produce and/or enjoy, worthwhile, significant and unique works. COUM demonstrate that there are NO boundaries in any form. It has NOT all been done before, and that which has can still bear valid re-interpretation. Thee [sic] possibilities remain endless." (en)
  • "When we shifted from Coum Transmissions to TG, we were also stating that we wanted to go into popular culture, away from the art gallery context, and show that the same technique that had been made to operate in that system could work. We wanted to test it out in the real world, or nearer to the real world, at a more street level – with young kids who had no education in art perception, who didn't come along and either empathised or didn't; either liked the noise or didn't. A little mini-Dada movement, eh?" (en)
