>Starting in July 1972 with an event called The Alien Brain, COUM staged a series of increasingly outlandish and shocking performances at art galleries and mixed-media festivals across Britain and Europe.>Typical components of a COUM performance included P-Orridge placing severed chicken heads on top of his penis and masturbating, or P-Orridge and Tutti engaging in simultaneous
anal and vaginal sex using a double-pronged dildo.
>Various combinations of soiled tampons, maggots, black eggs, feathers, and syringes full of milk, blood, or urine figured as props. For instance, P-Orridge
might stick a hypodermic into his testicle and then inject the blood
into a black egg.
>Or for a piece de resistance, he might give himself a blood-and-milk enema and then fart out the liquid, splattering the
gallery floor.
(Quoted from a book I'm reading about the post-punk scene.)
My question is; how come artfags will do so much weird shit, and yet there's never been some kind of feedist-related performance art? It could literally just be some shit where they lay out a feast and have a few beautiful hamplanets go at it.
