2009-01-07T14:36:00.001-08:00

Apple announce the launch of their lightest and thinnest MacBook Pro to date. One of its most talked about features is Apple’s longest lasting battery ever to be implemented in any of its notebooks along with a new 17″ screen and various upgrades under the hood. Its new and improved battery takes the cake though, with a life of up to 8 hours on a single charge and can be recharged up to 1000 times — compared with only 200 to 300 times for typical notebooks. Along with an impressive 700:1 contrast ratio and 60% greater color gamut from its predecessor, the new MacBook Pro has elevated its price tag to $2,799.

Louis Vuitton’s Stephen Sprouse Collection

2009-01-06T08:07:00.000-08:00

To celebrate the launch of Louis Vuitton’s Stephen Sprouse collection, Louis Vuitton will be doing several things which includes redecorating New York’s SoHo Louis Vuitton store, releasing a series of limited edition items as well as hosting cocktail parties at their flagship store.

NEW YORK — Like the artist and designer who inspired the new collection, Louis Vuitton is heading downtown for its new Stephen Sprouse collection.

This week, the company’s boutique on SoHo’s Greene Street will be transformed into a Sprouse destination in time for the collection’s arrival.

“SoHo is a special place for the entire launch of the Sprouse collection,” said Daniel Lalonde, Louis Vuitton North America president and chief executive officer. “It’s in the proximity of where Stephen Sprouse hung out, so we are going to give the entire store a Stephen Sprouse feel. It will have a lot of reminders of Stephen Sprouse. We will be giving it a new identity.”

For instance, the company is wrapping the store in vinyl and spray painting neon graffiti all over the facade. The window display will feature a 6-foot neon light installation in Sprouse’s Rose motif. The store’s interior, enhanced with black brick wall facing, will also be sprayed with the neon graffiti.

The collection will launch in its entirety at the SoHo boutique on Thursday. The complete worldwide launch will follow on Feb. 2, though the Rose pieces will be available at Louis Vuitton stores worldwide starting Friday.

For the launch, the luxury goods company is also creating two limited edition pieces, which will only be available at the SoHo location: a Stephen Sprouse graffiti skateboard replete with a hard case monogram skateboard trunk, and a Stephen Sprouse “Roses” T-shirt. The company hopes to sell three graffiti skateboards with trunks for $8,250 each, and 70 T-shirts for $250 each. “I don’t expect them to last very long,” Lalonde said. “By Friday, there probably won’t be any more left.”

Proceeds will benefit Free Arts NYC, which provides underserved children throughout New York City with special arts programs. Vuitton is also making an undisclosed donation to the Sprouse Estate, as well as the Stephen Sprouse Memorial Scholarship Fund at the National Academy for Design here.

Sprouse became known in the Eighties for his graffiti art and fashion designs. In 2001, Vuitton artistic director Marc Jacobs collaborated with Sprouse and created an instant must-have accessories collection with the Monogram Graffiti collection. Sprouse died in 2004, and Vuitton made its first donation to the fund in 2006 when Jacobs created a scarf in Sprouse’s honor, using one of the collaboration’s leopard prints.

Vuitton will honor the late artist with three events this Thursday. The night will kick off with cocktails at the Vuitton boutique on Greene Street, with a simultaneous event at nearby Deitch Projects’ Wooster Street Gallery for the opening of the “Rock on Mars” Sprouse retrospective. Afterwards, Vuitton and Jacobs will host a bash at the Bowery Ballroom, featuring a performance by Sprouse’s friend Debbie Harry, followed by DJ Jus Ske. The venue is expected to have a Sprouse feel, with a special graffiti-and-neon decor.

“It’s something new from Vuitton to start the year off,” Lalonde said of the collection. “The product, design, and expression are uplifting and rejuvenating. That’s the feel we try to provide for the evening and for the collection.”

For those of you who really don’t feel like knitting: already knitted products will also be available in limited edition... The cabin will also have products by Aurélie Mathigot, organic cotton hook designs by Anne-Claire Petit (from the Netherlands), Ketty Sean’s funny characters as well as many other ideas for Christmas presents.

WOOL & THE GANG:
Wool and The Gang offers knitted designs for women, men, children, animals, the home, and more, which follow the seeasons but especially, the gang's inspiration.
For each collection of unique pieces, muses from all walks of life are invited to inspire Wool and the Gang.
Each design is sold as a complete project which includes everything you need, the yarn, needles and pattern through to unique customisation accessories.
Each pattern presents the option of making the basic model, or your own unique customised version using watg's exclusive patches, or ribbons, different coloured yarn, bits of old denim or t-shirt... the possibilities are as infinite and crazy as your imagination.
KNITTING HAS NEVER BEEN MORE FUN, COOL OR EASY!

Ketty Sean: DOLL & PLUSH
Ketty was born in 1977 in Saint Germain-en-Laye, in France. She used to live in Paris' Suburbs for a long time and studied fine arts at la Sorbonne university. She loves candy, cats shoes, hip hop music and of course plushes. Ketty shows and sells her creations in Paris, London, Berlin, Brussels, etc. She lives and works in Paris.
For a part of the new collection, Ketty Sean collaborated with Studio Patrick (Anaick Moriceau and Nicolas Peuch), the talented couple of serigrapher and graphic designer from Brussels.
The decision to work on the theme of nature and the forest gave birth to new unic creations like objects and clothes in limited editions.
All pieces are handmade. From this way of working depends slight irregularities in the knitting and in the forms cut out of felt. This give to all pieces uniqueness and more value. All plush are not suitable for children.

AURELIE MATHIGOT:
Aurélie Mathigot's work is largely inspired by the notion of recovery and the necessity of talking about everyday life in another - new - way. Several preoccupations recur throughout her work: like the will to hide, the need for isolation and for being overwhelmed by the textile material.
Like an endless thinking about time flowing, out of anyone's control.
Like the desire to fix reality in another dimension to preserve it from leaving us, and to look in all things, by all means, what can remind us a presence.

Grace Jones : Hurricane, Album Art Work

2008-12-16T08:16:00.001-08:00

The artwork for Grace Jones' latest album, Hurricane, designed and art directed by Tom Hingston Studio Studio, knowingly works the conceit of the popstar as visual commodity: in this case featuring life-size versions of Jones made out of chocolate.

“The original idea was to produce a set of images of Grace being mass-produced but with her being in control of the actual process,” says Hingston. “The crux of the idea is that she has ownership of her identity. We looked at a range of manufacturing processes, from car makers to pottery factories, but there was something about her being made of chocolate that had [the right] connotations.”

Overall i feel its a good idea, but badly executed which is a shame, well not BADLY, but I don’t think it sums up the glamor and eccentricity of Grace Jones.

Mark Leckey

congrats (apologies in advance sorry no pictures or video)

His winning works include the film Cinema in the Round which shows him lecturing about his love of animation.

The key motifs of the work of Leckey, who creates footage based on contemporary culture, are desire and transformation.

According to judges, he uses his "own state of being" - an artist in London who grew up in northern England in the 1980s - to explore those motifs.

"He celebrates the imagination of the individual and our potential to inhabit, reclaim or animate an idea, a space, or an object," they added.

The artist was shortlisted for solo exhibitions Resident, at Kolnischer Kunstverein, Cologne, and Industrial Light & Magic, at Le Consortium, Dijon.

Leckey, the only man on the shortlist, beat Goshka Macuga, Runa Islam and Cathy Wilkes to win the prize, which has had only three female winners since its 1984 inception.

Art Of Music is an exhibition bringing together fifteen international artists to exhibit their visual interpretation of music. The exhibition was first shown in Los Angeles in September this year and will now be set up in Stockholm/Sweden.

“The Art of Music reflects upon the profound influence that music has on art and simultaneously art has on music and recognises their common creative approach. The leading idea of the show emphasises the fact that artists tastes in music are always strongly related to their work. Each artist has been asked to design the poster for the concert of his or her dream, including the line-up of choice and in any venue imaginable whether existing or not.”

The exhibition curated by Thomas Subreville is presented by ill-Studio and Carhartt and features artists like Josh Petherick, Museum Studio, Steven Harrington, iLL-Studio, //DIY, Alter, P.A.M., Ryan Waller, SO-ME, Sanghon Kim, La Boca, Smal & Paze, Artus de Lavilléon, French and Stefan Marx.

Christina Clausen's documentary offers an affectionate, deeply personal glimpse into Haring's life, from his early years growing up in a small, conservative Pennsylvania town to his heyday as a world-renowned artist, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Madonna, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol."

Furniture that merges the boundaries between futuristic concepts and practical contemporary furniture has always been a favourite of mine.

DANNY SANGRA

2008-11-17T14:47:00.000-08:00

As a huge fan of Danny Sangra's works, i felt it only right to update the Gulpers out there on his latest pieces. I previously looked at artiste extrodinaire Danny Sangra a few months back, with his unique and abstract take on art ranging from illustration to clothing design.
Well, Sangra has recently updated his site with new pieces that continue to push the boundaries of art. Sangra's trippy-take on illustration takes on new levels with his cover for Modart, and he also has a new line of T-shirts out in collaboration with Uni-qlo which are definitely worth a look. But for anyone that isnt in japan, you can look but not touch as this line is exclusive to Japan stores only.

Rory Hamilton

2008-11-13T14:50:00.000-08:00

Rory Hamilton recently gave a extremely good talk down at my university on the design industry and how to compose and maneuver ones way through it.

Everything from researching design briefs to preparing portfolios he had a few informative slides and lucky I managed to get them all and so i thought i pass them on to you.
Extremely helpful and informative in my opinion.
(Im not really supposed to distribute if i must be honest)

And for those who have never heard of the guy,
I'll let him tell you about himself . . .

I am a design consultant, and educator in Interaction Design.

My main interests are in user centred design, user research methodologies and service design.

I have worked in the area for over twelve years. For seven years till 2005 I was Course Leader of Computer Related Design/Interaction Design at the Royal College of Art. Before that I taught computing and took a thesis group in Virtual Environments at the Bartlett School of Architecture and was a contributor to BBC radio on Internet issues (GLR). Recently I have lectured, given workshops and talks at colleges and businesses round the UK, in India, and Korea.

Over the past year I have worked in Innovative Product Design at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee. Also at Framfab (now LBi), Central St Martins MA Industrial design course, and at Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK.

The constantly changing takes on Rohe's barcelona rocking chair have never ceased to amaze. Despite the range, its the innovative designs that always seem to catch my eye, much like 'Opulent Items' latest take with the ICA Rocker. The sleek and sophisticated design create a chic/collected atmosphere and definitely takes on a whole new look for the old school rocking chair. With leather seats, molded plywood and stailness steel, what more could one ask for in contemporary furniture!

Last night marked a historical night. Obama was elected as the president of the USA, but as well as this i saw one of the best producers/djs ever. DJ premier, also known as 'the architect of east coast hip hop' completely killed his two hour set. Needless to say, Premier played some classics, from Nas (NY state of mind) to old school gangstarr. Then to top it off, Black poet came out and killed it. It was true homage to real hip hop, and definetely worthy of the revival of "Gulp Retrospective"!

Kehinde Wiley “Down”

2008-11-03T17:44:00.000-08:00

Characterized by his contemporary presentations of African American men in unfamiliar scenarios including “fallen warriors, saints, and classical mythology”, Kehinde Wiley recently began his third solo show at SoHo’s Deitch Projects. Seven young men from Brooklyn each posed for a series of paintings as you see a strong juxtaposition of the men’s contemporary looks against the noticeably inconsistent styles of the backdrops which reference “fallen warriors and saints that appeared in the old 18th and 19th century paintings of Holbein, Mantegna, Houdon, Maderno, Retout and Clesinger”. Among the highlights is a25 foot piece with a suggested price of $300,000 USD. The exhibition runs from now until December 20th.

COMME des GARCONS x Nike Dunk High 2008

2008-10-29T18:01:00.000-07:00

COMME des GARCONS and Nike prepare for another collaboration on the Dunk High. The visual integrity of the Dunk High is largely changed as the traditional basketball silhouette of the Dunk undergoes a more boot-like profile. The dramatic rise of the toebox and the black leather upper with a large zipper up the center is an appropriate approach for the Japanese brand who has been the subject of much fanfare for their avant grade and innovative styles.

Damien Hirst – Other Criteria

2008-10-28T15:52:00.000-07:00

With his bank account recently expanding like Vanessa felts stomach after a little snack of two live chickens and a glass of sun flower oil, the world famous Damien Hirst recently opened up his own gallery space on Bond Street.

Consisting of his own work which is up for sale, and in the near future other artist hand picked by Damien Hirst himself.
The gallery space it self is relatively small but works very well in my opinion. Consisting at the moment of original hand signed prints, x-ray scans and hung paintings. The famous artistically designed skulls are placed in glass cases and so are the one thing every girl should want from there boyfriends the famous Damien Hirst charm bracelets.

The gallery space is opened daily, but I must state it is not a exhibition, but a gallery space so items I've talked about in the post may have been sold on before you even have read this post.

VITRA DESIGN

2008-10-24T03:36:00.000-07:00

I previously wrote about contemporary furniture extrodinaires 'Vitra', but my love for their furniture was taken to a whole new level when i came face to face with their pieces. I recently visited the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and with this is probably one of the best gallery stores i have ever come across. Apart from stocking in japanese books and souveniers, they also sold Vitra Furniture. Gallery stores & Contemporary Furniture at its best. Needless to say i took the liberty of taking a few photos of some of my favourite pieces.
One of my favourite pieces had to be the Jasper Morrison Vitra edition cork stool. Not only is it light and extremely durable, but also has a nice soft feel to it. Well worth the treck through the countryside.

POETIC HOUSE EXPERIMENTS

2008-10-17T07:58:00.000-07:00

Poetic House Experiments is the latest project to come out of japanese architects Atelier Tekuto. Tekuto have managed to completely push the limits of architectural design with their recent designs, straying from the typical expectations and creating something incredibly mind-blowing.
The names of each of the houses are poetic, which again links to the random and innovative nature of Tekuto's designs. Out of all of the designs, one of my favourites has to be the 'skin house' project. With the 'cell-brick' grid effect, the skin house definitely maintains an almost psychedelic affect in tune with Tekuto's amazing designs.

(The last image is from Tekuto's 'lucky drops')
