'An elegantly disciplined page turner, Bound Together interweaves the various cultures of leather sex and the archive with solid research, sly humor, and patient interpretationIn this context, Campbell's sections on a selected group of contemporary and modern artists are particularly insightful.' Catherine Lord, Claire Trevor School of the Arts, University of California, Irvine '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. A new kind of art history, Bound together transforms our comprehensions of sex and apprehensions of the archive.' Professor Barry Reay, author of New York Hustlers and Sex in the Archives -- .
