Is happiness a muscle just like any other?
Do you have to pedal for it to develop? The Austrian-born New Yorker is a renowned graphic artist, the first pop star of the genre! He is also referred to as an interior designer, typographer, and artist. He is one those people whom a single word, label, or profession is not enough to define. An activist in the cause of graphic design that is rooted in real experiences and emotions, the author of legendary album covers – from the Rolling Stones to Lou Reed via Talking Heads - always transcends the commissioned work he does for clients to infuse subjectivity and humanity into it. His personal obsessions fill his sketchbooks and the endless lists he loves, inspire his research and, for the first time, an exhibition on a theme that is close to his heart: happiness.
Après une tournée nord-américaine, l’exposition « The Happy Show » arrive, au cœur de l’hiver, dans le pays d’Europe qui a régulièrement les plus mauvais indicateurs de bien-être : le nôtre.
