Maxime and his friends hosted Sang Bleu in berlin for a month last year.
I still thank them for this.
Maxime is also a fully self-taught tattooer.

here is a selection of his beautiful pictures

This is a found looped film stock of Croda employees in the late 40s showing off the strength of pure gelatin: How fascinating !

I am a long-time (life-time?) fan of Lydia Lunch’s work, it is like a powerful shot of inspiration, strength and confidence.
In every form of expression she uses – music, spoken word, film, photography, writing, etc.– all is pure honesty and passion.
(http://www.lydia-lunch.org/)

So having her performing in Geneva (with Philippe Petit at electron festival) was a wonderful opportunity to finally meet her in person.

It’s the boys of clap.ch doing their interview, i was just filming.
(Sorry about the abrupt beginning of the video, the question was basically- is she feminist..)

An icon, a mirror, a witch, a sex symbol, a killer, a voice for all the loners, a poet of marginality… however you eventually manage to define Lydia Lunch, she already escaped somewhere else (and Sang Bleu can only relate to this very well).

Internationally sensational artists Alix Lambert and Vincent de Roguin united on the occasion of a Sang Bleu-hosted one night event at The MAMCO (museum of modern and contemporary art, Geneva).

“This time however I come as the victorious Dionysus, who will turn the world into a holiday… Not that I have much time…”

Nietzsche (from his last “insane” letter to Cosima Wagner)

Not much time to be blogging! The gallery space is beautiful, and we are very happy with the layout! We are here showing, among others, works by Elisabeth Llach, Duane PItre, Jeanne-Salomé Rochat and HENRY DELETRA HANNA. Alongside, we have Dan Sinnes tattooing here as well. The whole thing is really impressive. Happy


More to come.

Slightly off topic & made more so by the good stuff Max has been posting below (thanks for that) but I have to pledge my love for Ron & Russell of Sparks here. Mainly because in their 38ish years together they’ve been frequently bizarre, almost always easy on the ear & consistently original. But also because I just noticed their show at The Forum In Kentish Town on the 20th March hasn’t sold out yet. As criminal as this is it means there’s still something useful you can get for £20. A little older maybe but no less spectacular.

5 great Sparks tracks here: Wow!
