Middle Gate
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".

“Dit is mijn afstudeerwerk aan de academie. Het werd ook op deze manier tentoongesteld. Grafiek in zware, gelaste kaders in het zand. Het staat hier symbool voor het begin van de zoektocht.” (Els Dietvorst)
