'Sex is good to think with, but Andy Campbell’s leathersex is even better. This exuberant, challenging, perceptive, cleverly crafted and generously illustrated study explores the role of BDSM in visual and material art, performance and archival practice – while, in the process, becoming its own sexual archive.
