Cosey Fanni Tutti (born Christine Carol Newby;[1]: 226 4 November 1951)[2] is an English performance artist, musician and writer, best known for her time in the avant-garde groups Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey.[3]
Tutti first performed under the name Cosmosis. According to Throbbing Gristle biographer Simon Ford, the name of Cosey Fanni Tutti was suggested to her by mail artist Robin Klassnick based on the title of the opera Così fan tutte, meaning literally "That's What All Women Do."[4][5]
