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".

    Publication in the form of a calendar. In 1985, Danny Devos started with his Birth ( +) Fact (X) Death (-) Calendar. For any date of the year he refers to births and deaths of (in his eyes) important persons , plus including relevant biographical facts. For many years he collected these almost obsessive birth and death dates , dates of manmade disasters , and so on. This has made remarkable coincidences come to light.
