STEFAN SAGMEISTER
The Happy Show
28 October 2017 - 11 March 2018
What is happiness, who can find it, and what can we do for our personal luck? New York-based graphic designer and typographer Stefan Sagmeister has intensively investigated these big questions. “The Happy Show” presents the results of his personal research into happiness. Highly emotional information graphics, video documents of his individual experiments, or installations that visitors can participate in: the Austrian designer’s sensual image worlds encourage the public to increase their own feeling of happiness. With handwritten comments left on the walls and floors, Stefan Sagmeister at the same time displays humor and a subtle distance to the theme. The show transgresses the boundaries between science, design, and everyday culture, stretching across the museum spaces into the Toni-Areal.
A cooperative venture between the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania and the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich. This exhibition was made possible by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
