 "Middle Gate Geel ‘13" Curated by Jan Hoet. Geel Belgium. Gasthuismuseum St.-Dimpna September 28 - January 22 2013 MIDDLE GATE GEEL 13' tries to come to grips with the complex and multi-layered interaction between myths, psychiatry and the arts. Rather than pinpointing the differences, the exhibition undertakes to reveal the connections and links, commonplaces and parallels of these phenomena. The historic and present-day context of the city of Geel, world-famous for its unique psychiatric care system based on home nursing, adds an extra dimension to this exhibition, so much so that the interaction between Geel and this exhibition will be palpable and visible in every aspect.

"Double Portrait And a Fourth Hand" Solo exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, CT. March - August 2013  Double Portraits and a Fourth Hand - The drawings of Amelie Chabannes explore extreme dependency between individuals, and how these relationships blur and destroy individual identity. Working with well-known couples from the art world—including Oskar Kokoschka and his lover Alma Mahler, artists Marina Abramovic and Ulay, and musician, poet, and performance artist Genesis P-Orridge and Lady Jaye—Chabannes fuses their individual images, and hence their relationships, through an obsessive, overlapping drawing technique that emphasizes both psychological and artistic obsession. For her first solo museum exhibition, Chabannes will complete two large, site-specific wall drawings that will involve cutting into the Museum's walls. This exhibition is curated by Aldrich exhibitions director Richard Klein.
