"Moment of Truth is probably our most important album," says DJ Premier, "but Hard to Earn is my favorite Gang Starr album."BACK COVER: LABELLEAs the 1960s faded away and the '70s shattered the veneer of innocence, three talented singers—Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx, and Sarah Dash—shed their BlueBelles name, swapped their floor-length dresses in favor of denim, and reinvented themselves as a gritty soul trio. Over the course of six albums in six years, Labelle continued to grow, transforming into fierce and funky pop stars in wild costumes, and ultimately ascended to ubiquity with their Allen Toussaint–produced megahit "Lady Marmalade."

« Le royaume des hippies avait ses conventions, même si elles n’avaient pas toujours grand sens. On se rebellait contre le système en jouant les marginaux, mais on ne se gênait pas pour toucher la sécurité sociale ou les allocations de l’État. La pauvreté, la faim et un sentiment de responsabilité envers Tremble, Moonshine et Gen m’ont décidée. Si je prenais un job, Gen serait libre de se consacrer à l’art et nous aurions de quoi payer les courses, le loyer et les matières premières. »C’est l’histoire de Christine Newby, dite Carol, Cosmosis, Cosey, Cosey Fanni Tutti... C’est elle qui nous en fait le récit, et il est essentiel que ce soit d’elle que nous le tenions : Art Sexe Musique offre un éclairage unique en son genre, ancré dans l’intimité, sur l’underground, le monde de la pornographie et le milieu de l’art britanniques. Artiste multidisciplinaire, figure incontournable de l’histoire de la musique industrielle (avec Throbbing Gristle) et de la synth wave (avec Chris & Cosey), Cosey Fanni Tutti est aussi connue pour ses années au sein du collectif à géométrie variable COUM Transmissions, ainsi que pour son travail de performeuse et de plasticienne, qui met en évidence la porosité entre marché de l’art et industrie du sexe, la nécessité d’accomplir des rituels, et tant d’autres choses encore. S’appuyant sur des extraits de ses journaux intimes, elle nous parle de travail domestique et de strip-tease, de squat, de drogue et de formulaire, de sexe et d’amour, de subversion et d’attention aux autres. Si Cosey Fanni Tutti n’a cessé de multiplier les expériences, sa vie s’est très vite fondée sur un principe d’identité porté à l’extrême : ma vie = mon œuvre. Son récit est celui d’une femme en lutte constante pour son autonomie, dans ses multiples relations familiales, artistiques, sexuelles et sentimentales. Dans un foisonnement de collaborations, au fil de succès improbables, au rythme des joies et des déboires des retrouvailles, on voit naître des rapports de manipulation et de domination, mais aussi se nouer d’insondables amitiés. Dans Art Sexe Musique, tout est dans tout, mais à la première personne : le livre est un point de vue à la fois situé et transversal sur l’underground anglais des années 1960 à nos jours, et le témoignage électrisant de ce que l’art fait à une vie.Cosey Fanni Tutti est née Christine Carole Newby, le 4 novembre 1951 à Kingston-upon-Hull en Angleterre. Artiste multidisciplinaire, performeuse, plasticienne, chanteuse, compositrice et musicienne, elle participe dans les années 1970 aux activités du groupe d’art performance COUM Transmissions avec Genesis P-Orridge, avant de co-fonder le groupe Throbbing Gristle, connu pour sa musique précocement qualifiée de "musique industrielle", puis le duo Chris & Cosey. Elle s’est régulièrement produite comme strip-teaseuse, actrice pornographique et modèle pour des magazines érotiques.488 pagesTraduction : Fanny QuémentRéalisation graphique : Charlie JaniautIllustration : Stephen Vuillemin
