Each person has their own idea of happiness, but not always have a concept of how to achieve it. Graphic Designer Stefan Sagmeister decided within its exhibitions The Happy Show provide clear guidelines to achieve this in the vast majority of cases.
Some artists have stories to tell about happiness. Dale Keys, for example, has drawn a large series of illustrations to explain this concept. And American graphic designer Stefan Sagmeistr has created a series of creative algorithms to achieve it.
The Happy Show is dedicated to happiness as such! But here it is presented not as an abstract, but as a concrete concept with clear boundaries and ways of achieving it.
The Happy Show is based on a lot of scientific research, for which scientists have conducted a survey of many thousands of people, asking them about their aspirations, desires, dreams.
Stefan Sagmeister, in his work, scoffs at some of the ideas of people about happiness, for example, at the dream of men of greater sexual dignity. But the author takes most of the other expectations quite seriously.
Moreover, Sagmeiter convinces viewers to move towards happiness in almost every exhibit in his exhibition, The Happy Show. After all, the path to this state is clear, but it itself is quite achievable. We need to start taking action, and not constantly postponing until tomorrow what can be done today.
The Happy Show by Stefan Sagmeistra is now presented at the Chicago Cultural Center in the American city of Chicago. It will run until September 23, 2013.

"Everything flows, everything changes". Ephemeral beauty in the work of Nicole Dextras
Artist Nicole Dextras is very fond of working with clothes, but she does it in very unusual ways. For example, her work is highly dependent on the time of year and the weather outside. If it's summer, then Nicole goes to the garden, where she picks up weeds and turns them into beautiful dresses. If it is winter outside, the artist takes ready-made clothes and … freezes them in blocks of ice. It's worth seeing, isn't it?
