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".

    "It’s different from the ready-made, it’s more an object “found again” than it is a found object. It’s not believing that the object can be miraculously promoted to the status of a work by the artist’s signature alone.From far away it appears to be art. From upclose it isn't."

    René Denizot, In: Galeries Magazine, Artiste: Jacques Charlier, p. 93
