Notes on Happiness is a book project by artist Alex Farrar. The book is a long reflective text, based on conversations that Farrar had with people around him about happiness. The book design is a collaboration between Farrar and graphic designer Chantal Hendriksen. The book is a limited-edition publication bound with several different covers, cut from one single drawing by Daniel Jacoby.
This book was developed during a residency at SEA Foundation, Tilburg —supported by gemeente Tilburg and Mondriaan Fund — where Alex Farrar worked in response to their Art and Sustainability research project and the specific theme of ‘happiness’.
