HAPPINESS: THE CASE AGAINST (Manifold Editions 2017) is part of a new body of work first seen in Harland Miller's solo Berlin exhibition in 2016, Tonight We Make History (P.S. I Can’t Be There) at Blain Southern. Miller is well known for his playful reinterpretations of Penguin book covers, but for the Berlin exhibition he incorporated his own designs, taking inspiration from the abstract, geometric covers of popular psychology books of the 60’s and 70’s. HAPPINESS: THE CASE AGAINST is inspired by an original work of the same name. For this publication, Miller experimented with different printmaking techniques using polymer-gravure, photo-etching and block printing to build up a painterly, and layered surface texture.
