'Into Me / Out of Me' gathers work focused on the imagined, descriptive and performative acts of passing into, through and out of the human body - explorations and visualizations of the wet and the dry, the inner and the outer - and the physical exchange of the body with the material world. Spanning over 40 years and featuring an international group of more than 130 artists, it addresses the primordial relationship between the internal and the external in three chapters: "Metabolism" (eating, drinking, excreting); "Reproduction" (intercourse, conception, birth); and "Violence" (shooting, impaling, perforation). With excerpt from Georges Bataille's 'Story of the Eye' and texts on individual artists and works.
