Gall & Gates present an exhibition that looks at sculpture that was not sent to the fabricators … probably. Sculpture that might have a junk/backyard aesthetic, sculpture that might actually be junk alongside sculpture that is well made but looks like junk. Sculpture that might refer to the garden in a literal way. Some sculpture will be placed in the front yard and some in the backyard and some in the gallery.Gall writes:A 'proper' curatorial team might run with the idea of 'Backyard Sculpture' along a historical timeline starting with Picasso's early cubist/guitar cardboard sculptures (circa 1912) moving up the 20th Century with Julio Gonzales through to Jean Tinguely, David Smith maybe onto Richard Stankiewicz perhaps taking a detour onto early Cy Twombly and Rauschenberg finding time to spend some time in England looking up Paolozzi … and what about this guy, George Fullard? … I mean there is a lot out there that might be termed 'Backyard' in the world of sculpture … ok, here we go, what do I mean by 'Backyard Sculpture'? Does it mean sculpture that is made from junk/scrap metal, anything other than marble or bronze, well partly but not really.David Gates and Neil Gall (me), as you probably know are not curators and it’s an idiosyncratic/artists approach that has resulted in this 'assemblage'. All artists have other artist friends or have at least relationships with other like–minded types … so friendship and chance encounters have largely been the guiding principles in bringing this bunch of stuff together.The idea for the show started through musings on the humble beginnings, back garden sculpting really of 20th Century SculptGods Henry Moore and Anthony Caro. There is a great photo of Caro standing proudly next to 'Woman in Pregnancy' in his garden in Hampstead in 1955 but what's really great is that Shelia (Girling, painter and also Mrs Caro) can be seen in the kitchen window doing the dishes … or maybe filling the kettle to make a cuppa for the thirsty 'man' sculptor. And as you probably know, Moore cast his early lead works (mid to late 1930's) in the garden of his Kentish cottage, 'Burcroft' assisted by Bernard Meadows (amusingly described as the 'boy' in a letter to friends at the time), using a saucepan on a Primus stove to liquify the raw material before pouring into a mould. By the time I'd read a John Berger essay on Peter Laszlo Peri, with Berger spying odd sculptures in another Hampstead garden, sometime in the late 1940's before he'd made the acquaintance of their maker, there was more than a germ of a show 'idea'.Something about sculpture that was a little less than heroic, perhaps suburban even, sculpture that was certainly not sent to the fabricators, art that might be epitomised as an art of 'make–do' with a 'can–do' kind of attitude.David Gates spent a year working on the Ray Johnson archive (Johnson of course being a kind of junk poet himself) he recalls seeing signs for 'Backyard Wrestling' on his journeys to and from Manhattan. So here you have the origins of the show title … and also another geographic point of reference, somewhere beyond North London.I always imagine that NY artists let it all hang loose as the city heats up during the summer and head up–state where they unleash their creative energy to make strange, probably hippyish junk sculptures, away from the pressures of the commercial artworld and making stuff that is, if not unsellable then at least probably pretty difficult to.We have brought together art that has a largely D.I.Y feel, much of it might have a junk aesthetic but not necessarily. Some works such as Gavin Turks simply 'refer' to the garden part of our show title, Clare Mitten's sculpture is both junky and plant–like, Derek Jarman is in the mix for similar reasons.Picasso is not in the show but I like to think of him as a Junk–King–Overlord, he was the guy you did not want moving in next door. The Picassos (apart from a brief bourgeois period with Olga) always brought the neighbourhood down … all those animals, goats, dogs and junk, all that crap he needed to feed off … he was a terrible hoarder, ultimate neighbour from Hell.Both myself (sorry neighbours) and David Gates do our own Backyard casting, we had hoped to collaborate on some works, next time I guess, Backyard Sculpture … the sequel.(Neil Gall, North London, June 2019

Standardization of Mitre Gates: Standardizing steel mitre gates within existing navigation locks in the Netherlands
No full textThe Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat) currently manages 137 navigation locks. Most of them have been constructed during the 20st century and were considered as unique projects. This led to a great variety in their designs and characteristics. Currently, 52 locks are reaching the end of their technical life span and require significant renovation and renewal. Almost all locks are different and this variety complicates their management and maintenance. These complications cause several problems concerning sub-optimal availability, unpredictable reliability and high life cycle costs. Rijkswaterstaat performed several studies, indicating that the standardization of lock gates could potentially solve these problems. However, how to standardize these lock gates is still unclear. This research investigates the standardization possibilities with the aim of reducing the variety found in lock gates, focusing on the mitre gates present in 37 of the 52 locks requiring large renovation and renewal. Focus is put on mitre gates as these are the most common gate type used in Dutch navigation locks. The approach of reducing the variety in the lock gates is based on the creation of clusters, in which one standardized gate is applied. The clustering of the mitre gates is based on the widths and required door heights of the considered locks. To tackle the problem of standardizing gates in locks with different widths, it has been decided to vary their angle of closure. The degree to which the angle of closure can vary is dictated by physical boundaries, indicating the limit with respect to stability requirements.Consequently it was chosen to modularize the doors so that they can be scaled up or down to the desired height, solving the problem of applying a standard door in locks with different retention heights.To grasp the effects of standardization, the over-dimensioning is approximated by using estimates for the amount of material required for the gates. To determine the optimum cluster configurations, a clustering program has been developed, taking into account both over-dimensioning and physical boundaries. The clustering program encompasses the study of 37 locks. This study shows that the gates of these locks can be grouped into a minimum of five clusters. Due to a modular gate design and fewer spare components, excessive over-dimensioning is prevented. A conceptual design and a comparative analysis indicated that the gates can best be grouped into eight clusters, potentially leading to improved management and a € 7.100.000 cost reduction. This research included several assumptions and starting points. The following steps should be taken in order to deepen and enhance the current research:• Assess the influence of the determining aspects on the costs of a lock gate instead of the material required. • Better approximation of over-dimensioning by using a more complex and accurate model for the estimation of the required material. • Perform a study on the amount of spare components required for each separate gate cluster.Multi Water WorksCivil Engineering | Hydraulic Structure
