"In 1880 Nietzsche wrote 'God is dead'. In 1882 the Church of St. John the Divine opened. 500 people attended every Sunday. So had God ended? Steve Dutton and Neil Webb's project End of Ends uses sound and text to confront visitors with an inexhaustive list of ends. They pass at four beats per second, twice the speed of dance music and precisely the speed of the pumping soundtrack that drives End of Ends into the majestic absence of x-church. Profound, trite, personal, generic, the listed ends are barely readable as they flash by. Dutton, Webb and all the people who contribute to the list make this piece but Pulse rules it. End over end over end over end. Negative stuff? No, because in the same way that loud points at silent, end points at start. Sound knows this and pulls hardest on Pulse's rope. I left with an image of Sound dancing on List's grave". Thom Csilug, critic
