International group exhibition exploring the indistinct spaces which lie between chatter and silence.Taking its title from Samuel Beckett’s Not I (1972), … all silent but for the buzzing … aimed to transport the distant whispering of Beckett’s play into the exhibition space. Viewers were invited to experience a variety of mediums, scales and spectra of sounds through artists’ installations, sculptures, collages and performances.
