Things I Have Learned In My Life
Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far, an interactive exhibition by Stefan Sagmeister, opens at Deitch Projects on January 31, 2008. The exhibition included works that have a life of their own, transforming throughout the exhibition as viewers engage with them.
Part of the exhibition, the Banana Wall was an art installation created with 10,000 bananas & some glue, stacked together to formed a giant banana wall with motto: Self-confidence Produces Fine Results. The interesting thing about this installation is that it change over time. As the banana ripen further, the motto will disappeared and the background become brownish-yellow. The whole bananas gradually decays over 24 days of the exhibition.
Stefan Sagmeister is one of today’s most innovative and influential graphic designers. His conception and application of graphic design goes above and beyond traditional notions of the practice, taking it to the realm of performative and conceptual art, painting and sculpture. Sagmeister is most widely known for his album cover artwork for bands like The Rolling Stones, Talking Heads and Lou Reed, and for books, like Mariko Mori’s Wave UFO for the Kunsthaus Bregenz, which function as sculptural objects.
