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".

"This work is about elimination, reduction, certain methods of abbreviation, interpretation and the conditions for a modified solution. Five paintings on Plexiglas with images of women for concepts that I borrowed from the book An Investigation of the Laws of Thought by the philosopher-mathematician George Boole from 1884."
