How to read Log items from MemoryTarget NLog asynchronously

I use this example http://nlog-project.org/documentation/v2.0.1/html/T_NLog_Targets_MemoryTarget.htm

and I would like how we can read Log items from MemoryTarget NLog asynchronously to populate RichTextBox for instance?

using System;

 using NLog;
 using NLog.Targets;

 class Example
 {
     static void Main(string[] args)
     {
        MemoryTarget target = new MemoryTarget();
        target.Layout = "${message}";

        NLog.Config.SimpleConfigurator.ConfigureForTargetLogging(target, LogLevel.Debug);

        Logger logger = LogManager.GetLogger("Example");
        logger.Debug("log message");

        foreach (string s in target.Logs)
        {
            Console.Write("logged: {0}", s);
        }

        // Access to target.Logs async.
        // Have I target.Logs.Clear() the Logs when I get all items?
    }
}

Any clue?

You need to create a new thread and pass the MemoryTarget to the new trhead.

PS: writing to the RichTextBox is already implemented in the NLog.Windows.Forms package. See the official documentation how to use.
