Throbbing Gristle
Flatbed digital serigraph on wood, 12×12 in.

A mash-up of the Elton John‘s Greatest Hits album cover (original cover photo by Terry O’Neill, design by David Larkham) with Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV ephemera designed by Genesis P. Orridge.

Panik MK first met Genesis P. Orridge through mutual friend Don Bolles in 1992. MK helped set up sound and video equipment for a How to Operate Your Brain rave featuring Dr. Timothy Leary at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. A luncheon followed, during which MK was unknowingly dosed with psychedelics by Paula P. Orridge, and escorted to lunch with Genesis, Leary and the Orridge children, Caresse and Genesse. It was (and probably remains) the most surreal experience of the artist’s life.
