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".

Pijlen [Arrows], 2002
Arrows is one of a series of animated films shown during Suchan Kinoshita’s first solo exhibition at the M HKA in 2002. The series investigates the fluid and porous boundaries between dream, reality, and narrative through carefully staged scenarios.
The work unfolds in time through dynamic processes in which the personal relationship between viewer and artwork takes shape. The animation Pijlen [Arrows] plays, in a poetic and subtle way, with concepts such as time, place, and narrative. The arrows suggest direction and an endless progression. But are they actually going anywhere?
