Beauty Book, 2018
Sagmeister & Walsh, 2018
Over the course of the last century, beauty was displaced by functionality in design and architecture. As a result, something essential was lost. Beauty not only impacts the way we feel, but it also changes the way we behave. Sagmeister & Walsh show us how this shortsighted disregard for beauty can be reversed.
THE HAPPY FILM,
Stefan Sagmeister turns science on himself to determine if a person can influence their own happiness. Under the supervision of experts, he pursues 3 controlled trials of Mediation, Therapy, and Drugs, grading himself along the way. But real life creeps in and confounds the process: Art, death, sex, friendship, and love proof to be impossible to disentangle. By becoming the subject of a film at once so soaring and mundane, Stefan’s journey gives the rare opportunity to see our most basic human preoccupations in sharp focus and high relief – the questions many of us yearn to answer.
THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN MY LIFE SO FAR, 2008
Astonishingly, Stefan Sagmeister has only learned twenty or so things in his life so far. But he did manage to publish these personal maxims all over the world, in spaces normally occupied by advertisements and promotions: as billboards, projections, light-boxes, magazine spreads, annual report covers, fashion brochures, and, recently, as giant inflatable monkeys. In this presentation Sagmeister throws his diary, a lot of design, and a little art together with a pinch of psychology and a dash of happiness into a blender and pushes the button. It tastes surprisingly
ummy.
