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".

    "In the space of Art Something in Amsterdam I recorded a movie in my exhibition/installation. There were about forty large and small pieces of perspex hanging at chest height, with texts about art, science, future and logics, combined with abstract signs, points, lines and smudges in phlorescent colours. One had to squeeze through the works in order to see anything. Art Something was an alternative bookshop that mainly catered for artist books and editions."
