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".

    acrylic paint on 3 pieces of Plexiglas, doublesided

    "Double-sided paintings on leftovers of thick, pink Plexiglas that I broke into three pieces. They hang together by a little metal chain. The three words on the front have a black square at the back, the last of which ends up in nothing. Intended as intellectual toys for the adult moralist."
