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".

    "A multimedia project realized in the railway tunnel of the Central Station in Antwerp, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Belgian Railway Company. “Amsterdam-Paris” is a computer controlled videoanimation with images that were captured during the excavation of the tunnel. With the previously recorded sounds of the activity in the tunnel, two teams of musicians and dj’s composed live music on site."
