This is the catalogue of the inaugural exhibition of Kunsthaus Graz, focusing on perception: the experience of the exhibits adds to the experience of the Kunsthaus Graz building. With more than forty international positions from the past four decades, the exhibition focuses on specific questions of perception, making them available for direct experimentation. Perception is not a given, not to be taken for granted. The challenge here - by presenting a specific sphere with great precision - is to demonstrate the complexity and uniqueness of a process that defines mankind, from the biological necessities to manifold cultural demands.
