Oracle of DelphiBerlin's KW Institute: INTO ME / OUT OF ME
December 19th 2006 05:25
Spanning a period of over forty years of contemporary art and featuring an international group of artists, Into Me / Out of Me employs a wide range of media. The exhibition highlights the literal and metaphorical ways that humans interact with each other, themselves, and material matter. The focus is on three primordial and radical relationships between the internal and the external: metabolism (eating, drinking, excreting…), reproduction (intercourse, birth…), and violence (shooting, impaling, perforation…). These complex vital exchanges are illuminated through mythological confrontations, ritualized practices, and self-explorations. The physicality, permeability and fragility of the body has been explored to represent the human condition in contemporary life and art over the past forty years.
Among the more than 130 international artists in the exhibition are Marina Abramovic, Vito Acconci, Matthew Barney, Patty Chang, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Douglas Gordon, Mona Hatoum, Robert Mapplethorpe, Paul McCarthy, Ana Mendieta, John Miller, Frank Moore, Pipilotti Rist, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Andy Warhol, and Lawrence Weiner.
