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".

From 1969 to 1970 Guillaume Bijl briefly follows theater and film studies that result in some experiments, among other things this series Project - Notes (1969-1975). The projects consist of a description of plastic compositions and project proposals. They are diary wise typed on graph paper, and form the origin of his later Situation-Installations.
