As you’ll see there’s an interview with me and also with Nina Russ about BOUND in this issue:
Founded six years ago, Sang Bleu proposes multidisciplinary investigation of the body. With an eponymous magazine at center, the project encompasses a range of artistic activity spurred by the interests of its members. Fashion, fetish culture, visual and performative arts merge, with a interest in fostering fresh conversation and invigorating peculiar lanes of thought at the core of all activities. Our creative debate stems from a mixture of artistic and scientific ingredients, which inform the research and the multilayered composition of the topics themselves. It might be that the distance between the two approaches simply lies in the specifIc form in which they, in a totally different way, provide us with the same object: art in the form of ‘seeing’, ‘perceiving’ or ‘wondering’, science in the form of knowledge. Within Sang Bleu 6, they will be presented together, mostly emphasizing the importance of the relationship between the production of forms and their reception.
Issue 6 sees an expansion of the Sang Bleu project and a furthering of its scope. Within the publication’s pages seemingly disparate topics — from fetish matters to rap music — combine.
Our guest Betony Vernon serves as the official editor of fetish matters,
