Middle Gate

    NLEN

    Het tentoonstellingsproject Middle Gate II – Het verhaal van Dimpna is een samenwerking tussen het M HKA, Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen, en cultuurcentrum de Werft in Geel. Middle Gate II is het vervolg op de tentoonstelling Middle Gate van Jan Hoet in Geel in 2013. Het concept van de tentoonstelling is nauw verweven met de legende van de heilige Dimpna, de patrones van de bezetenen en geesteszieken, en de beschermheilige tegen epilepsie en krankzinnigheid. De legende van Dimpna is sterk verbonden met de identiteit van de stad Geel, “de barmhartige stede”.

    "One was killed for beauty, the other one was shot, the two others died naturally"  is a sound piece and installation written by Els Dietvorst. 
    It was part of her solo exhibition in Argos, Brussels, May 2014 and was re-installed in MUZEE/Ostend during her expo Wintrum Ford in 2019.

     

    Inspired by her life at the farm and texts from Goethe, Goya and the Gilgamesh, Dietvorst writes a fairytale and transforms it into a sound installation. In a dark room, 4 animals are shown as the main character. The animals are stuffed and all had their life on the farm. They are brought to life by a light installation, projected drawings and a sound piece.
