From Curated -

On view through September 26, 2010, at Princeton Art Museum, “Starburst, the first-ever museum survey of the “New Color Photography” in the 1970s, stars 18 artists who fast-forwarded their medium out of its black-and-white past and put it at the center of contemporary art. The exhibition features generous bodies of work by eighteen artists, from the still-prominent, such as Stephen Shore, William Eggleston, Jan Groover, and Joel Sternfeld, to key figures of the period, including Eve Sonneman, Neal Slavin, John Pfahl, and Barbara Kasten.”

The photographs are stunning, and the exhibition also includes a web component that is well worth visiting.

Head to Curated for more images and information.

Bringing heritage brands back from the dead is nothing new (especially in these times) but there’s some folks who know how to do it right. Coming from the same stable as Rocky Mountain Featherbed, Mighty Mac is a traditional boating clothing company, who’ve been resuscitated by a Japanese company (who know a thing or two about amazing repro products). We spotted this over at Capsule, so look for it to start appearing in stores early next year.

The boat parka (complete with detachable bag) is a favourite of ours, but the whole collection’s worthy of a look – which you’ll be able to do after the leap.

Style Salvage has news of A. Sauvage’s collection. A. Sauvage were the folks behind the ‘this is not a suit’ photographic series and they’ve just launched their debut collection, entitled ‘000-1 -000-11′. For those who had no idea what to expect, it’s traditional tailoring given a youthful boost – although not in that annoyingly skinny indie manner. Wide lapel lovers can rejoice, as this collection has them in spades. They’ve also made novel use of the wider tie; all whilst making sure the suit is tailored to today’s slimmer standards. All in all, these outfits are tailor-made (no pun intended, seriously) for those who love their Italian style.

Take a look at more of the collection after the leap.

CR turns us onto the work of George Logan, who’s latest project is entitled Translocation. The project, which took five years to make, sees African Wildlife relocated to ‘less predictable settings’. Speaking to Creative Review, he said that this project was inspired by the film Born Free, as well as the times he told new friends he was from Africa back in school:

“As I boy I’d tell tall tales to classmates and claim that I’d been raised on an African farm, surrounded by all sorts of exotic wildlife. It had me imagining how these creatures would appear in the rural Scottish landscapes I was familiar with. This project has allowed me to explore those early fantasies.”

01. Will Self: copywriter from the dark side

“In this edited version of Gordon Comstock’s interview with Will Self, which appears in the current issue of CR, the novelist discusses his grudging admiration for the ad industry, a subject matter that often crops up in his fiction…” (cr)

02. Current Logo Trends

“When gauging the relative merits of the 35,000-plus logos that have been submitted from all over the world to the LogoLounge.com site in the past 18 months, it would have been supremely helpful to have some sort of magical scanner-like device that could objectively compare, classify, and quantify the success of each design. But likely such a device could only spot the obvious visual trends.” (ll)

03. before & after basics: stripping furniture

“today we are going to tackle stripping furniture! the process of stripping wood back to its natural beauty (by removing layers of old paint and varnish) is truly a labor of love. but if you have the patience, the process is a win win situation in the end!” (ds)

04. Matthew Dear – MDBC Totem (above)

“A short piece on how the limited edition art pieces for the new Matthew Dear album Black City were made by artisan sculptors. Designed by Boym Partners, the MDBC Totem were cast in bonded aluminum with a hand-finished gun metal patina. Each totem is inscribed with a short code that allows the owner to access/download the album from matthewdear.com. You get the album and the you get the art without the media getting in the way.” (md)

Looking for a vented jacket for that Sunday afternoon brunch engagement. John Varvatos USA offers some surprisingly well priced looks.

The Mast Brothers make chocolate in Brooklyn, NY. They are craftsmen, and they have a beautiful factory. (via Serious Eats).

Marc Jacobs comes with a pair of moc/monk low-top suede inspired shoes for Autumn 2010. “The Hiole from Marc Jacobs’ footwear collection – a black suede moccasin ankle boot with black tie detail at the heel and a thin rubber sole.” the gum sole finish makes this moc for me. Simple and to the point. Oki-ni has them.
