OF ART Friday January 28, 2011 @ 6:15 PM

Genesis BREYER P-ORRIDGE was born in Manchester, England in 1950. S/he was
a member of the Kinetic action group Exploding Galaxy/Transmedia
Exploration from 1969-1970. S/he conceived of and founded the seminal
British performance art group Coum Transmissions in 1969 and was the
co-founder of Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, and the spoken word/ambient
music performance group Thee Majesty. Throughout Genesis' long career,
s/he has worked and collaborated with William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin,
Derek Jarman and Dr. Timothy Leary, among others. She explores human
behavior, ritual, and personality modification through performances that
create neo-shamanic collaged paintings called "Sigils". Her most recent
work documents the physical alterations s/he and her partner, the late
Lady Jaye, endured within their project Pandrogeny, about re-union and
re-solution of male and female to a perfecting hermaphroditic state. Her
archives are part of the Tate's permanent collection. S/he is represented
by INVISIBLE-EXPORTS New York.
