Profane #21

Profane is a French independent magazine that celebrates the overlooked amateur, the hidden artists who create, collect, and obsess outside of official circles. Profane is experimental and eccentric in both editorial spirit and visual design. 

Inside this issue: Blue

Under the loose and ephemeral theme of Blue, issue #21 offers 21 sequences of stories, profiles, collections, studies, and interviews all connected through a cerulean thread.  Highlights include Charles Auguste's acrobatic poetic offerings against urban public space, the everyday totems of small, haphazard, by chance sculptural objects, France's largest annual body painting event, and a graphic designer's optical research and classification system of the blue fade on longstanding posters, advertisements, calendars, and other public displays.
