Our contributors also chronicle texture and composition. Luke Forbes talks to artist Tino Sehgal about his practice of creating “constructed situations” in visual arts spaces and fashion curator and historian Valerie Steele talks to Filip Motwary about the allure of the closet and we visit the studio of Athens-based artist Alexandros Tzannis to discuss his compelling investigation of natural landscapes. Cyprus-based artist Efi Savvides and independent curator Marina Christodoulidou unveil and reflect on their recent collaboration, the project A territory without terrain, exploring the practice of socially engaged art.

But also of communal pleasure, of how we find joy in collective action and exploration. In issue 25 of Dapper Dan we explore the idea of disruptive pleasure – the moments of indulgence that we cherish on a personal level, out of context from the realities around us.
