Paul
Benney – Speaking in Tongues
In the church of San
Gallo, Paul Benney’s epic painting, ‘Speaking in Tongues’, together with an
holophonic sound installation, until November 26 is curated by James Putnam and
Flora Fairbairn. In this work, Benney brings together twelve of his contemporaries to
individually express a spiritual awakening—a state of grace. He seeks to
demonstrate that a singular piece of art can promote an understanding between
disparate ideologies and engagement in a shared spiritual dialogue.

‘Reliquary’ series, consisting of two tryptics, appear alongside ‘Speaking In
Tongues’ and form an important part of this installation. They re-emphasize the
spiritual metaphor of the flame as a representation of the human spirit.
