Middle Gate

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".

photographs

The ten photographs are recordings of installations by Guillaume Bijl. The artist provides a complete metamorphosis to galleries, museums and art fairs. He has built exhibition spaces into a driving school, a showroom for second-hand cars, a shoe store, lighting store, hair salon, health club, gym and Oriental rug emporium. In total, he has carried out around fifty of these transformation-operations, of which only a few have a museum as final destination.
