COUM Transmissions was an transgressive
performance art group, with inspiration stemming from
Fluxus and the underground
Mail Art scene, founded at the end of 1969 in Hull, U.K. by Neal Megson (
Genesis P-Orridge) and “Jesus” Joheero. COUM expanded its members to include Cosey Fanni Tutti, Pinglewad, Spydee and Ray Harvey, and featured a rotating cast of other members including Haydn Rob, Timothy Poston, Ian Evetts, The Very Reverend Lelli Maull, John Smith, Fizzy Paet, Foxtrot Echo, John Gunni Busck (John Lacey) and Peter Christopherson (
Coil).
