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".

    "One of the series “Nonzero/Pastime”: two-layered Plexiglass work that mixes certain pages of a 50-ties softporn magazine with the text ECFK that I made in 2003. ECFK is based on a 2002 article on antimatter, found in a Belgian financial newspaper (De Financieel-Economische Tijd).  I systematically replaced the word "antimatter" by " antisade" and turned the rest of the content of this scientific text into a critical exposé on art production after World War II." — AMVK
