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".

    (Plexi Holders: Control Values)

    "Transparent Plexiglas holders filled with painted semi-transparent plates without a fixed order. Each tray is a work in which the visual image is random, of which the internal structure remains loose, in which all elements form one work, but never in a definite stage. Made for my installation in the group exhibition Vierkant (Square) in 1993, inspired by René Descartes’s scribbles and shown at the S.M.A.K. in Ghent."
