STUFF: Genesis P-Orridge

by GENESIS P-ORRIDGE

[Editor’s note: Are you having trouble understanding artists through their art? Understand them through their STUFF instead. Art history never elucidates the importance of the artist's dual role as creator and person who owns STUFF, even though STUFF is important: it's what accumulates when you make decisions. Owning someone's STUFF helps you channel their spirit and personal brand. This is our tribute to STUFF. From books, to art works, to phony iPads, these lists will contain both the common and the strange.  This week we bring you an amazing list by Genesis P-Orridge.]

1

Bronze Lord Shiva

A two and a half bronze statue of Lord Shiva which was the very first really expensive gift Lady Jaye bought me by using “lay away” for more than a year to be able to pay the thousands it cost her, showing me once again how deep and long term her unconditional love for me was and is. S/he added cascades of malas,Hindu and Tibetan “rosaries”, ritual talismans from the Naga and Agori sects making this the spiritual center of our focussed state of love.

2

Dream Machine

Our DREAMACHINE was made specially for my SELF and Lady Jaye by “Johnny Smoke” to replace one seized and “probably destroyed for it allegedly being satanic” according to the Scotland Yard detectives who made off with our original. Revealed to Brion Gysin during a reverie on a bus in France and manifested as a working device by Ian Sommerville in the 1950′s Dreamachines can generate kaleidoscopic visions and hallucinations as they spin creating a flicker on the eyelids making this the only work of art you must look at with your eyes closed.

Handcarved Penis and Labia with Fur

A hand carved 8 inch wooden vagina with clitoris and enlarged labial hole coupled with a beautifully carved, erect, circumcised 9 inch penis with large scrotum sparse monkey or Yak fur as faux pubic hair and are worn during initiation at puberty by a blessed shamanic few young men. Those so chosen wearing the female totem across their buttocks tied with cord are penetrated those anally through the symbolic wooden vagina.

4

Penis Gun/Curse Casting Wand

Walking through the Buddhist talisman market in Bangkok with Lady Jaye in 2002 we took a small alley to avoid the crowds.On a corner was a shriveled agelessly ancient old man sitting on a blanket surrounded by junk a thrift store would reject. But some intuition forced me to stop. We immediately were drawn to what now is one of our most reveredobjects.It’s a thick brass penis/automatic gun. The barrel is covered in spherical lumps that represent small pearls inserted under the thin skin of the penile shaft, the “head” is smooth, and has a urethral hole. The handle/grip is a mock up of standard grips but is hollow and could possibly hold a real clip of ammunition. There’s no trigger. There are very faint engravings of the same Thai script gangsters, among other Thai groups, receive from priests at certain Monasteries. It seems a very serious magical object, possibly a “wand” to point at, fire a curse at..an enemy.

Thee Psychick Bible

A copy of my “THEE PSYCHICK BIBLE: Thee Apocryphal Scriptures “ by Genesis BREYER P-ORRIDGE published by www.FeralHouse.com and available via Amazonis a matter of pride. From 1981 to 2001 we initiated a global network of like-minded Individuals experimenting together, alone and even in “COUM-unities”. The “P Bible” is 540 pages of documentation of our triumphs, failures, chaos, inspired gatherings, shamanism and demystified systems of rituals to maximize each Individual Being’s potential in all media and cultural options. This book often seems to work like a “YI KING”, or other oracular methodologies, the phenomenon if the reader just opens it at a “random” page.

Tibetan Thighbone Trumpet

My 300 plus years old Tibetan Thighbone Trumpet that we received  from Dr Alain Presencer, an expert on Tibetan ritual music and instruments in the early 1980′s. Tradition declares they should be made ONLY from the thighbone of either a Virgin young woman Or of a murderer! He assured me mine was from a Virgin girl and was once owned by Drukpa Kunley a wandering Tibetan monk known for his devotion to the :Crazy Path”. It certainly has remarkable powers healing Lady Jaye in her “death bed”  when a Mongolian female shamaness sang through it vibrating all Jaye’s bones, and mine and somehow dis-integrating the source of her illness, diagnosed as hopelessly terminal by traditional medicine, so s/he was up and about the following day. (read:”The Divine Madman” translated by Keith Dowman, published by Pilgrims Publishing, Varanasi, Kathmandu, Nepal.)

7

The Modern Utopian

One of my favorite books of all time is “The Modern Utopian: Alternative Communities of the ’60s and ’70s” by RichardvFrancis ( published by www.processmediainc.com.) It is a collection of articles written in the 196o’s and 1970′s about therise, and almost inevitably, the falls of communes across the U.S.A. detailing the unforeseen issuesover money, cooking, cleaning and other chores that so consistently led to disintegration. Those that survived, and some still do today, tended to have a charismatic guru figure and strong belief system at their core.

8

Photographs of Lady Jaye

All my photographs of my beloved “Other Half” Lady Jaye, combined with her love letters and diaries have to be an equal most special item. We have been blessed with working and befriending so many luminaries and remarkable beings; Dr Timothy Leary, William S. Burroughs: Brion Gysin; Derek Jarman and many , many others yet Lady Jaye BREYER P-ORRIDGE easily tops that list. A documentary called “The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye” by Marie Losier is now available from New Yorker Videos, or even, we’ve been told from Netflix.

9

Collection of “OZ” Magazines

My full collection of “OZ” Magazines from the 1960′s and 1970′s. We used to “street sell” these to raise money for food and bills. They are the most incredible and by far the most unique collection of psychedelic graphic art of all the “underground” publications. Martin Sharp and Hapshash ( Michael English and Nigel Weymouth) in particular, define for me the pinnacle of wild, delirious artistic madness in both images and freeform lettering that so typified English psychedelia.

10

My Humble Apartment and Pekingese Puppy

My humble apartment. It is the first apartment we’ve lived in since Lady Jaye “dropped her body” and the first we’ve totally renovated. Only the windows are original. We call it “The Nest” and share it with my library of books, my dear friend Leigha Mason and my new rescue dog “Musty Dagger” who is a Pekingese who snuggles up to me each night reassuring me that we are deeply loved in our Nest of happy dreams.

Psychic TV / PTV3 To Play Jus Oborn’s Curated Roadburn Event

We’re elated to announce that Psychic TV / PTV3 has been confirmed for The Electric Acid Orgy, Jus Oborn‘s curated Roadburn event on Friday, April 19th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.
As founder of groundbreaking industrial band Throbbing Gristle, and leader of hyperdelic rock (i.e. psychedelic – or acid rock) collective Psychedelic TV, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge has been pushing boundaries artistic, aesthetic and otherwise, with an unbridled, unique and utterly fearless vision for decades. Whether it’s Genesis‘ one half of a long-running experiment in pandrogynous body-modification with deceased partner Lady Jaye (heartbreakingly documented in the film The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye), or the latest incarnation of Psychic TV, PTV3, s/he has always been at the forefont of the avant-garde, industrial, psychedelia and even acid house.

Since 2003, Psychic TV / PTV3 has been musically leaning towards expansive, improvised psychedelic freakouts that are a real treat for Genesis Breyer P-Orridge‘s wordplay, as s/he rants and rasps her way around environmental concerns, underpinned by piano-like keyboards and sorrowful violin scores. The psychedelia is largely driven by supreme guitar histrionics from Jeff ‘Bunsen’ Burner, with other members throwing in organ chime, booming bass, and thunderous drums.

Presently motivated by a love of performance and recording, Genesis calls the most current line up, led by drummer Edley O’Dowd (of New York’s legendary rock band Toilet Boys), “The best version of Psychic TV ever.”

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (b. Neil Megson) is a musician and artist whose career began in Hull, England in 1969. She was a founding member of the hugely influential bands Throbbing Gristle (founders of Industrial music) and Psychic TV. In 1993, P-Orridge began the art/life project of becoming a single pandrogynous entity along with her (now late) wife Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge. The two events are as follows: Friday Nov 16 ... Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (w/ A. Dilloway) at the 'Sco Opening set by Robert Turman 10pm / Free for Students / $7 Non-Students Saturday, Nov 17 Lecture by Genesis: "Breaking Sex" Mudd Library 050 (A-Level auditorium) 4pm / Free ------------------------------------------------ "Pandrogeny is not about gender, it’s about union. The union of opposites. One way to explain the difference is very easy: with transgender people the man might feel that he’s trapped... in a woman’s body, or a woman trapped in a man’s body — whereas in Pandrogeny you’re just trapped in the body. So Pandrogeny is very much about the union of opposites, and, through that reunion, the transcendence of this binary world and this illusory, polarized social system." - Genesis Breyer P-Orridge ------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from "Breaking Sex," by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge, 2003: (S/HE IS HER/E) This is the final war, a jigsaw A war to re-possess your SELF. There is NO gender anymore Only P-Androgeny is divine. Sexuality is a force of nature that cannot be contained. Get up. Stand together in perfecting union, Join and love equally the man and the woman separated at b-earth inside you, Their first cries for justice …PANDROGENY! Re-united as one Identity is your only possession, as a being possessed Re-possess your SELF, Be possessed by YOUR self, Any SELF, every SELF you ever dreamed of, Every SELF you were ever afraid of. GET UP! Stop this war of limitations, STOP IT! Now YOU own yourself. Your own YOU own. Now it’s YOU. ... We are ultra-genetic terrorists. One man is another man or woman. EVERY MAN AND WOMAN IS A MAN AND WOMAN There is a time and place for everything indecent. Redesign yourself. YOUR SELF. End your social and sexual misery, taste the sweet electricity of PANDROGENY! “This time around you can be anybody” ... You were in your mother’s womb for forty-nine days an androgyne. Who chose your gender? GOD? Society? Family? Only by YOU ending this separation, Returning to that first pure state can real freedom begin. When all are but one sex, one species. This is not about becoming an Other, This is about returning to a state of perfect union.
