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".

Demonstratie van schaal en perspectief, 1984
From 1970 onwards, Deleu worked with T.O.P. office to build up an architectural and artistic body of work. During a trip to the United States, Deleu was struck by the ‘twin towers’ of the World Trade Centre in New York and by a fallen sequoia tree in California. According to Deleu, we can only get a sense of the size and volume of towers if one tower lies flat next to the other and we can walk alongside them. The overarching title of this research is Schaal en Perspectief [Scale and Perspective].
