'The Happy Show'
13 april to 4 june 2018

Stefan Sagmeister is one of the most celebrated international designers. What is happiness? How to find it? And what do we really do to be happy? 'The Happy Show,' one of his most iconic projects, is the result of intense research carried out for over ten years about the concept of happiness.
Through the means of video, infographics, sculptures and interactive installations, as well as humour, provocation and interaction, this exhibition takes us on a journey through Sagmeister’s mind and his innovative, seemingly simple perspective on how we can be happier. He appeals to a more active approach to our search for happiness – including the idea that it can be trained, just like we train our body.
Sagmeister uses extremely emotional graphic design to connect with people, testing the boundary between art and design, or science and everyday culture, culminating in a transgression of all the barriers between these different concepts.
