Much of the work in this exhibition draws attention to the interconnections between sound and sculpture. The word ‘volume’ can refer to mass and space as well as to sound or changes in air pressure. Materials such as iron, copper, quartz and stone have both sculptural and electromagnetic qualities and these materials often make up the technology that mediates and moulds the everyday sounds that we hear. The works in the upper gallery operate collectively as an audio-visual sound-system. Some of the sounds in the space manifest ultrasonically, some are accompanied by the indexical movement of light, other sounds are only be experienced haptically (via touch) or imaginatively.

In the lower gallery alongside archival works relating to sound, a selection of new photographs from the series 'Monumental Guns and their Targets' is shown. The lower gallery is silent, however these works invite the audience to extrapolate sound from its visual potential or bear witness its residue.

A program of historical single-screen works in film, video and animation plays in a room at the end of the lower gallery. These short moving image works were made by the artist between 1988-2012 and explore themes of performativity.

A printed tracklist was given away free at the exhibition.
