A bunch of years ago when I first read this manifesto my heart - and brain - had a gasp. 10 statements each one so true and functional... and at the same time difficult to follow. If only you could make yours at least 6 out of 10 you are on the right truck..
I've made this animation truly inspired by the evergreen content of them, this showld be the modus operandi for each one of us: designers, artists, housewives, mechanics, managers, schoolchildren...
Unlike the fontype used by the 2 artists on the mural installed on a building - I've preferred to use a naive one as the content is so deep and engaging.
..and now which is the most difficult point to follow? N..1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6........ ?
Wish you a good thinking :)
"How to Work Better’s ten-point list of simple statements suggests that “working better” is as much about an approach to everyday life as it is about productivity. The artists originally appropriated the text from a sign found on a bulletin board in a ceramic factory in Thailand nearly three decades ago. Since then, the piece has taken different forms, from postcard to screen print to book cover. Most famously, the artists’ first installed it as a mural on an office building in Zurich in 1991."
About the Exhibition
How to Work Better is a readymade artwork by Peter Fischli (b. 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012) that has been hand-painted on a building on Houston Street at the corner of Mott Street in Lower Manhattan. It is also the title of the artist’s concurrent retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Since 1979, the Swiss artist duo have created an extraordinary breadth of work, often ignoring the traditional distinctions between high and low art. With a sincere curiosity about human nature and wonder in the everyday, they have embraced new possibilities for encounters with art, both inside and outside the gallery.
25 years later, the simple yet clichéd statements used to motivate workers in a faraway factory have become a widely circulated ethos with copies found taped to the walls and desks of many artists and curators who have adopted the rules as a guide for how to work in the studio, the institution, and as collaborators. On Houston and Mott, at the center of the city that never sleeps, How to Work Better resonates in new ways. In our digital era, where the commercial landscape is ever present and the very nature of work is being redefined, the ten pithy statements are almost humorously direct. Are these merely platitudes or enduring rules to live by? How might this workplace manifesto apply to our daily lives? How to Work Better invites us to stop and think again about just how and why it is that we do what we do.
This exhibition is curated by Public Art Fund Curator Andria Hickey.

The paper engineering in this project is a mix of awesome creativity, technical skills and precious printing and paper companies. The flower images of the internal pages were scanned by a very old book of my English grandmother and the central pop-up butterfly blooming has been such a complicated and articulated matter of precision and inspiration... It took about 2 months to develop this little lovely book..so that the set up of the fashion show was made of giant pop-up books. Kind of beautiful.

I've developed the invitation under the precious direction of Paolo Bazzani. The collection created by Antonio Marras - which at the time was Kenzo's art director - was ispired by the magical of flowers and Alice in Wonderland.
This represent for me a milestone in my graphic design career. I'm very proud of it expecially in this era in which everything is digital oriented. W paper!

A short "Did you know that..?" about this this phrase.
The Professor Behind The First Printed Use of ‘Shit Happens’
Connie Eble’s annual list of catchphrases that she compiles from her students at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill included a new entry in 1983: “Shit happens.”
An unnamed female student wrote the phrase on an index card in Eble’s English class, apparently inspired by a someone who had flunked a test. “That shit happens,” he said.
That index card would become the first published use of the phrase, according to 2006’s Yale Book of Quotations.
The phrase has become ingrained in American culture, helped along by music, movies (Forrest Gump, among others), and books.
Eble, though, seems bemused to be forever tied to it.
“Will this never die? I didn’t come up with it—it just so happened that my list was the earliest citation. And now it’s become sort of an urban myth.”

| Tributo "ENZO MARI WE MISS YOU" | collage. | |
Sì Mari è il gorilla dell'arte, degli oggetti per tutti, il più grande di tutti, il più grande della giungla.
"Mari non è un designer, se non ci fossero i suoi oggetti mi importerebbe poco. Mari invece è la coscienza di tutti noi, è la coscienza dei designers, questo importa"
A. Mendini, Domus 607, 1980
Da sempre mi sono trovato coinvolto per caso all’interno di una poetica — come l’arte programmata — perché ero in un momento di mia formazione: chiedevo alla scuola d’informarmi, cercavo qualcuno che mi aiutasse; e nella carenza che constatavo, precostituii una piccola grammatica individuale. Subito dopo, mi proposi di spiegare anche agli altri, come a me stesso, la magia dei meccanismi dell’arte, della tensione artistica. Invecchiando, ho capito come sia quasi impossibile svelarli agli altri davvero.
Enzo Mari, Domus 694, 1988
Io sono un artista e lavoro come un artista, proprio per questo, perché so che cosa è l’arte, non sopporto gli oggetti sculture perché sono soltanto il frutto delle arti applicate... L’artista è colui che dà forma a un valore collettivo, in cui tutti si riconoscono.
Enzo Mari. Domus 791, 1997
Stefano Boeri - Presidente della Triennale di Milano dal 2018.
"Enzo Mari è una Costellazione.
Nel corso del tempo ha realizzato una varietà di opere straordinarie – in carta, legno, vetro, ceramica, ferro, acciaio – che, muovendosi senza obblighi tra arte, design, architettura e grafica, oggi abitano collezioni, musei, spazi domestici diffusi in tutto il pianeta.
La profondità del suo lavoro, il suo scavo nella so- stanza del mondo, sono un contrappunto all’ironia e allo sdegno verso quella superficiale mediocrità che Mari ha letto – con qualche rarissima eccezione, tra cui quella di Ettore Sottsass, così lontano eppure così vicino nell’etica del lavoro – nelle sfere della progettazione e della critica.
Non stupisce dunque che in una sua recente intervi- sta (Enzo Mari: i miei archivi per Milano, riportata a pp. 68-69) Mari abbia dichiarato la ferma volontà di donare l’intera collezione delle sue opere alla città di Milano, a condizione che per quarant’anni nessuno possa avere accesso al suo Archivio. Questo perché, secondo le sue più ottimistiche ipotesi, solo tra qua- rant’anni una nuova generazione, “non degradata come quella odierna”, potrà farne un uso consapevole e riprendere così in mano il significato profondo delle cose."

WHAT'S NOMAD
Nomad is the future of the fair.
It offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for dialogue and exchange between art, architecture, and design in a bespoke and intimate setting.
