The exhibition documents his ten years of ongoing investigation into happiness with the aid of videos, prints, infographics, sculptures, and interactive installations. It takes visitors on a journey through the designer\u2019s way of thinking and his attempts to increase his own happiness by training his mind as others train their bodies. <\/span><em class=\"avtext\"><span class=\"avtext\">The Happy Show,<\/span><\/em><span class=\"avtext\"> which stretches across corridors, staircases, and even includes the museum\u2019s \u201cspaces in between,\u201d is Sagmeister\u2019s second exhibition at the MAK since 2002. In handwritten commentaries on the museum\u2019s walls, bannisters, and bathrooms, Sagmeister elucidates his thoughts and motives for the projects on show. He supplements these personal notes with facts from social science by the psychologists Daniel Gilbert, Steven Pinker, and Jonathan Haidt, the anthropologist Donald Symons, and important historians, to contextualize his experiments with mind and typography. This inspiring presentation shows the designer\u2019s experiences during a three-month experiment with meditation, cognitive therapy, and mood-altering medication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mak.at\/jart\/prj3\/mak\/main.jart?content-id=1343388632770&amp;rel=en&amp;article_id=1419779770306&amp;event_id=1421423929000&amp;reserve-mode=active\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.mak.at\/jart\/prj3\/mak\/main.jart?content-id=1343388632770&amp;rel=en&amp;article_id=1419779770306&amp;event_id=1421423929000&amp;reserve-mode=active<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In The Happy Show, Stefan Sagmeister, the \u201cgrand master of graphic design,\u201d explores and transcends the boundaries between art and design.
