“Affirmation of existence is art.”

A facsimile of a manifesto by COUM / Genesis P-Orridge, a statement by Cosey Fanni Tutti, and the original press release and flyer for the ‘Prostitution’ exhibition at the ICA, London. The flyer includes a photograph from ‘Curious magazine’ of Cosey Fanni Tutti in a pose reminiscent of Manet’s 1863 painting ‘Olympia’, which depicts a French courtesan. On the last page is a short story by P-Orridge.
