Six Things: Sagmeister & Walsh

Presented by Jewish Museum, The


The designers Stefan Sagmeister and Jessica Walsh are known for their experimental typography and striking visual imagery. 'Six Things' marks the first exhibition of their newly minted design firm Sagmeister & Walsh. For the last ten years, Sagmeister has researched the nature of happiness, asking, "Is it possible to train my mind in the same way I can train my body?" In five short films and a sculpture, the studio investigates six things, culled from Sagmeister's diary, that he believes have increased his personal happiness. In addition, intrigued by a recent nationwide survey in which Jews reported the highest levels of well-being of all religious groups, Sagmeister & Walsh are creating a new typographic work designed for The Jewish Museum that connects this scientific data to his personal exploration of happiness.
