The object of oceanic yearning beyond a far horizon, a volume whose volume immerses the listener, a depth imagined as undifferentiated mind as a body without boundaries, a depth sounded in silence, a depth of concealment out of which rises unknown voices. Like a musical instrument, the ocean is volume and surface. To gaze along the surface of a drum is to see the world as a flat earth whose edges are the end. Under the surface is wave motion, the bathosphere, abject trails and impermanent signs.   Nottingham Contemporary's public programme is jointly funded by Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham.   This event is at Nottingham Contemporary Weekday Cross Nottingham NG1 2GB 0115 948 9750 www.nottinghamcontemporary.org
