Reason took place in New York’s Gagosian Gallery on West 24th Street. The work combined elements of science and phenomenology, evoking a child-like sense of wonder (40). Included in this exhibition were giant mushrooms in a circular formation not unlike a planetary orbit (41); and a large dice with black holes in that participants were able to crawl inside. The work, “Reason,” which the exhibition was titled after, was constructed from five mirrored revolving doors, and was designed to make participants feel dizzy on entry. As in his previous exhibitions, this exhibition called sensory perception into question, and the nature of logic was scrutinized through the experience of play (42).
