The Kaleidoscopic Eye

The Mori Art Museum presents “The Kaleidoscopic Eye: Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary Collection” from Saturday, 4 April to Sunday, 5 July, 2009. The exhibition is realized through collaboration between Mori Art Museum and Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, a Vienna based foundation, renowned for its excellence in contemporary art.

The question of “what reality is” seeks out the foundations of human existence and awareness, and has been discussed through religion, philosophy, art, and science in every region of the world. Yet, despite this ongoing inquiry, our daily lives have become conventional, locked into routines and traditional customs, and often we are led by force of habit to view our world from a single-faceted perspective.
