SOCIÉTÉ DE 032c x SANG BLEU, 24.07, 032c WORKSHOP Berlin

Posted in graphic design, typography on July 17th, 2009
Tags: , ,

In Honor of Maxime Buechi, editor-in-chief of Sang Bleu magazine, SOCIÉTÉ DE 032c opens an APERITIVO BAR.
Although a cursory survey reveals that there are zero-tattoo and zero-body modifications within the 032c gang, we are, however, big fans of the exciting new publication, SANG BLEU. Rejecting the usual categorizations and segmentations of contemporary culture and style, Sang Bleu determines to fuse Art, Fashion, Sociology, Literature – and more unexpectedly –Tattooing, Body Modification or Fetish to create a carefully composed image of modern urban societies and individuals.

FRIDAY, 24.07, 19:00 – 22:00 @ 032c WORKSHOP, Kleine Kurstr.1
(terrace), BERLIN-MITTE (subway: Spittelmarkt/U2)
