Sang Bleu was very happy to  recently have been featured as a part of Facing Pages. Facing Pages is Europe’s biggest event on independent magazines which was held from the 20th until the 22nd of April in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The weekend explored unique magazines and featured renowned magazine makers giving lectures.

The event itself takes on the form of a magazine, and shows which part the independent magazine currently plays in the development of our visual culture. The organizer of this event is the Arnhem-based O.K. Lab, which over the last few years has developed itself into a center of the independent magazine world.

For a list of some of the other excellent magazines exhibited look here

Facing Pages are in the process of touring the exhibition around other areas of Europe so check out their website here:

Considering that Fashion Week pretty much looks the same everywhere we haven’t described the whereabouts of each photograph taken by Maxime. Although he did take these in Paris, Copenhagen and Berlin.

Japanese Experimental Films and Videos will be showing from the 19th of March until the 16th of April at APNews.

The Experimental Workshop (実験工房 Jikken kōbō) was a transdisciplinary collective of composers, visual artists, a lighting designer, a printer, and an engineer in the 1950s in Tokyo. They created events that took different experimental forms – ballets, poetry readings, contemporary music recitals and vinyl-listening sessions in art environments. They also produced the world‘s first diaporamas with magnetic tapes, which were called Autoslides. The Jikken kōbō members participated in two short films in the 1950s: Ginrin, a surrealist commercial for bicycles, created in collaboration with Toshio Matsumoto, and Kiné Calligraph, an abstract film inspired by the work of Norman McLaren. The collective‘s composers, such as Toru Takemistu, Kuniharu Akiyama, or Joji Yuasa, would later collaborate on numerous and diverse film projects, from Akira Kurosawa’s epics to the underground animes of Yoji Kuri.
