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".

    "Animation of a drawing from my subconscious. I made the drawing in 1993, on the day of the first full moon of august, which has the most powerful influence of all full moons of the year. I didn’t know that when I made the drawing, it was told to me afterwards. This drawing is the despair about an impossible love, I rest with the impossibility of unification."
