Middle Gate

    NLEN

    The exhibition project Middle Gate II – The Story of Dymphna is a collaboration between M HKA (Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp) and the cultural centre de Werft in Geel. Middle Gate II is the follow up to the exhibition Middle Gate, curated by Jan Hoet in Geel in 2013. The exhibition concept is closely tied to the legend of the holy Dymphna, saint of the possessed, the mentally ill and patroness against epilepsy and insanity. The legend of Dymphna shares a strong connection to the identity of Geel, "the charitable city".

    "The catalogue is an integral part of the show, augmenting it, yet an identity of its own. Only to a small extent will it offer an explanation or documentation to the show. Its major part will be devoted to the presentation of subjects, aspects and themes which are either better suited for the printed medium, too expensive to show otherwise, or demand another kind of involvement."
