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".

Guillaume Bijl

Poster , variable dimensions

ink, paper

Some of the posters are related to installations that Guillaum Bijl made. He (co-)designed them himself and sees them as graphical extensions of his art practice. The posters are usually shown in the city, so that the man in the street gets involved (the name ‘Guillaume Bijl’ is added very small at the side of the posters, as a copyright). Then there are the posters that accompany the Guillaume Bijl expostions, like the expo in S.M.A.K. or in Graz. Here Bijl also always tries to be involved with the design. He doesn’t trust graphic designers too much.
