Sagmeister in Belgrade

Jasmina Tešanović encounters Stefan Sagmeister in Belgrade, via boingboing.net. Among other things, Sagmeister designed the Worldchanging book.

Money does not make me happy; Being not truthful works against me; Having guts always works out for me; Trying to look good limits my life; Everything I do comes back to me... And some other thirty aphoristic wisdoms of this kind, which the artist threw into his lecture in the National Library. They also appear in his exhibition in the SUPERSPACE gallery on the Danube river.

While I listened to Stefan Sagmeister I had a deja vu, as if somebody threw a net on the top of our dirty loud and aggressive Belgrade which I once loved so much... And I even know why, because Belgrade is not much like Barcelona or Rome or Vienna, or New York or Los Angeles, although Belgrade had all the advantages of wild big dirty cities...
