LONG ISLAND CITY, NY.- P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center presents Into Me / Out of Me, a group exhibition about the imagined, descriptive, and performative acts of the passing into, through, and out of the human body. This presentation focuses on the primordial relationship between the internal and the external in three main chapters: metabolism, reproduction, and violence. Into Me / Out of Me brings together explorations and visualizations of these three processes, which deal with the inner and the outer surfaces of the body, and the objects and subjects of the physical exchange of the human body with the material world. The exhibition is on view throughout the first floor of P.S.1, from June 25 through September 25, 2006.

Spanning over 40 years and featuring an international group of artists, Into Me / Out of Me employs a wide range of media to illuminate the literal and metaphorical ways that humans interact with each other and material matter. These daily exchanges are presented within the frameworks of natural science, historical and mythological confrontations, ritualistic practices, and self-exploration.
