Neues von Sagmeister

Gestern trafen sich die TYPO-2008-Sprecher Stefan Sagmeister und Oded Ezer in der New Yorker Galerie Deitch Projects (siehe Foto rechts, entnommen von Odeds Flickr-Seite, die Wand im Hintergrund besteht aus unterschiedlich reifen Bananen).

Hier ist noch bis zum Samstag die interaktive Sagmeister-Ausstellung Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far zu sehen. Über dieses Projekt und rechtzeitig zur TYPO wird ein neues Sagmeister-Buch mit dem »Titel Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far« erscheinen. Also: schon mal 39,80 € zusammensparen und im Mai von Stefan signieren lassen.
