"COUM Transmissions & Monte Cazazza, 'Gary Gilmore Memorial Society’, postcard, 1977. Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti finally met and collaborated with fellow extreme mail and performance artist, Monte Cazazza, during their 1st visit to the United States — just when murderer, Gary Gilmore (who actually insisted on his right to die) was executed. The trio each posed bound in a chair and blindfolded (later, claiming loaded guns were involved). A t-shirt was made and put out by London punk boutique, Boy. Allegedly, a Hong Kong newspaper (which?) somehow obtained 1 or all images, believed them to be official execution pictures and printed them on their front-page."
