The Museum of Happiness, takes on form of a museum and would work to
implement various measures of well-being, happiness, and satisfaction
within the lives of individuals. Our artistic methodology draws from our
previous work where we researched notions of value and power that
govern politics in the economic and social spheres within the circuits
of capital. The aim of this proposed project is to draw attention to our
continuing search for a solution to monopolization in daily life
resulting from unbridled production.
We want to create a space, to offer different alternative frames of
reference, by promoting the search for and access to new options or
frameworks of existence through collective creation and recreation. This
project will provide a space of education where people of all ages and
backgrounds can meet to learn about the essence of long lasting
happiness and well-being, a discourse we encourage in the project
through facilitating questions, recreational activities, and workshops.
We propose with this project to build sites for interactions and
create interlocutions between and with the subjects, resulting in a
series of live, dynamic, changing, and renewing actions that will
facilitate the implementation of happiness in participants. The Museum
of Happiness’s aims to cultivate happiness and focuses on the
construction of communicative and reflexive practices aimed at the
construction and reconstruction of qualitative thinking and sensory
capacity, offering personalized learning frameworks to each of the
visitors.
