blank is pleased to present When no one else comes, you can summon spirits to keep you company, a solo exhibition by Zoë Paul, her second with the gallery.
This show was supposed to happen three years ago but I had just moved to the Omphalospito on Mount Parnassos where instead I started developing, in seclusion, these primordial figure drawings, summoning the spirits of Delphi, located on the other side of the mountain.
Delphi like many sacred ancient places is regarded as one of the navels of the world, the ομφαλός, ομ meaning raw or crude and φαλλος meaning fallus - is this a primordial lingam? Connecting us to where? To the universe? How can we link this serpentine umbilical cord back into the universe? The navel is a point that connects us with our ancestors through the primordial nourishment of the womb, the eternal lingam needing to be tended and cared for with libations and flowing light.
