2013 AquaSox Season in Review
By Everett AquaSox | September 6, 2013 8:18 AM ET
In June, the AquaSox announced the 2013 team roster, including nine returning players from the 2012 AquaSox. Among those returning were Jamodrick McGruder, Steven Ewing, Alfredo Morales, James Zamarripa, Michael Faulkner, Carlton Tanabe, Christian Carmichael, Mark Bordonaro and Jose Valdivia.
An exhibition game against the Everett Merchants was the first team AquaSox win of the 2013 season, walking away with a 6-3 victory. Shortly after, three of the 2013 Mariners draft picks, D.J. Peterson, Jack Reinheimer and Justin Seager, joined the Everett AquaSox for the professional debuts.
The season opener against the Spokane Indians ended in a 6-4 win for the AquaSox, providing Rigoberto Garcia with his first win of the year. The Frogs would continue a winning streak for the next four games before falling to the Tri-City Dust Devils. By the end of June the AquaSox had compiled a 14-3 record, easily maintaining first place position in the conference standings. The Frogs cooled off in July, end the month with a 29-18 record, however were able to maintain first in the standings to become the NWL North Division First Half Champions! The AquaSox officially secured their post-season berth with a Vancouver loss on July 20th.
The NWL All-Star game roster included seven AquaSox players: Aaron Brooks, Lars Huijer, Jose Valdivia, Carlton Tanabe, DJ Peterson, Jack Reinheimer and Justin Seager. With DJ Peterson's promotion to Clinton, he was unable to play in the All-Star Game, however Bryan Brito was later name to the roster. The South team won 8-7, scoring three runs in the bottom of the ninth.
The Frogs persevered through a tough August month, compiling a 13-14 record during the month of August, and rounding out the regular season with two wins in September. Capturing first in the standings for the second half of the season, the AquaSox ended the regular season with an overall record of 44-32. Manager Rob Mummau was named NWL Manager of the Year.
The AquaSox fell to the Vancouver Canadians in the first round of the NWL Playoffs, who advanced to face the Boise Hawks in the NWL Championship. Thank you to all of our fans, sponsors, day of game staff and supporters for making the 30th year of professional baseball here in Everett a great one!

Well, it happened. Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski finally underwent back surgery on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Now he is facing a 10-to-12-week rehab period, and it is expected to be a close call as to whether he will play Week 1 versus the Bills. An anonymous source told USA Today's Mike Garafolo that the Patriots are holding on to an "optimistic" view that Gronkowski will be ready to go by some point late in August.
Fantasy Analysis:
The surgery was reportedly successful, but when is that ever not the case? A late-August return would be about 10 weeks from now, but it seems like the odds are much higher that Gronk will need at least 12 weeks and be forced to miss at least one regular-season game. Tuesday's operation is just the latest chapter in this saga that is far from over. What we do know is that Gronk will miss at least most if not all of training camp. His ADP should be interesting to watch during August.

Freestyle? Maybe for the critters: Norwegian Sky Cruise Review by godblessesjamie
Overall Member Rating
Freestyle? Maybe for the critters
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
In the dining room, steak was dry..not good. Grilled Salmon with capers was excellent! Buffet was very limited with mediocre food. The breakfast buffet was very good, but lunch and dinner buffet.....no thanks! Mediocre everything.
Freestyle? We were all offended at one time or another. Their dining reviews say to dress however you want. My husband did this. He wore shorts and a sleeveless shirt. We were told the "ladies" could be seated but he could not. That wouldn't have been a problem if we knew those rules. However, they really push the "freestyle" dining...."dress how you want whenever you want". Secondly, I was in the giftstore looking at some earrings. I held up the box to see how they would dangle,sparkle, get a better view. The insert dropped. I quickly picked them up....no harm. A worker said,"what are you More destroying, don't destroy the merchandise". My reply was, "Ya think"? Thirdly, I was taking my 15 year old daughter on this cruise for a break from school. They denied her access to use the steam room. She said they told her she had to be 16. I told her i think she has to be 16 or with an adult. So, when I went to use it with her, the lady said, "I already told her she had to be 18 to use this". I told her that she thought she said 16 and that I thought she could use it with an adult. NOPE! Mind you, the steam room and sauna was not busy at anytime on this cruise. I was very irritated at this point. I wanted to enjoy spa time with my daughter.
Horribly so, on the private island my daughter bought a backpack from a local. Currently, we are all bitten up. It isn't sand flea bites. The bites keep happening and spreading. They didn't start until she bought the bag and put it by her bed. Now we are both itching, putting on medication, washing EVERYTHING and being doused in pesticides. DO NOT BUY FROM THE STRAW MARKETS!!
The comedian on board was great. The costume jewelry was beautiful and not bad priced. The Nassau excursion was canceled and we found our own excursion at the last minute that worked out great! We went through the hilton hotel which has a small boat for 40.00 a person for snorkeling. We saw a HUGE shark and 2 moray eels. One was probably 6 feet long. The sharks width was at least 3 feet wide. I'm guessing it was at least 10 feet long...most probable longer. We were very freaked out, but the gentleman said it was a bottom feeder. I later found out from my daughter that he saw the one she had previously seen which was only 4-5 feet long. She hadn't seen the larger one until the end of the snorkeling and immediately got out! I couldn't believe the monstrous size of it!
The cabins are showing their wear......rust, noisy plungers on bathroom door, old pillows, old mattress for foldout couch....stains... Less
Published 12/01/10
Cabin review: BA0045 Mid-Ship Balcony
Balcony for 3 people. Impossible to get to balcony when tiny couch is open for bedding. Bathroom ok but toilet seats are very old and dingy and scratched up. No lotions, soaps, etc. As always, the fridge was full of their bar stuff. T.V. was full of their advertisements on at least 4 channels. T.V. was a tiny old old t.v..not even 19 inches. They need new pillows (ripped, dust mite infested as my allergies acted up horribly), bed was fine, slept fine beside the pillows.Read All Mid-Ship Balcony (BA) Reviews >>

Craig Revel Horwood has admitted that he could see Dani harmer making it as far as the Strictly Come Dancing final.
The Tracey Beaker star has been improving week on week and when she and Vincent Simon danced the quickstep in Wembley, to upbeat track 'You Can't Hurry Love' by Diana Ross the judges were so impressed that they awarded her a score of 36 and placed her in second place in the leader board.
Explaining why he was so enthusiastic about her routine, Craig said tonight:
"She was flightly,fantastic and she is so precise with everything. That's what I love about her. I just adored the routine."
He added:
"I really loved it and her and Vincent make such a sweet, gorgeous, honest little couple. You totally believe they have been dancing for years together."
Zoe Ball asked the choreographer if he could see Dani making it as far as the final next month and he confessed:
"I think so, I didn't have as high an opinion of her early on but she's been growing on me."
One person Craig doesn't think will make it that far is Olympic cyclist Victoria Pendleton.
She and Brendan Cole performed a Paso Doble to 'Bicycle Race' by Queen and found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard with just 24 points.
Bruno Tonioli criticised Vic's shaping, Darcey thought she was overwhelmed by the space and Len Godomand thought the 'jumpy things' were very repetitive.
Speaking on It Takes Two Craig explained what went wrong saying:
"She was keeping her stern face, she was acing it well, she just wasn't getting that Spanish flavour with the arms."
He continued:
"The arm shaping is so important, because you don't have that many steps to do. It's all attitude and it's all about the shaping."
What did you think of Dani and Victoria on Saturday? Who do you think will make the Strictly Come Dancing final next month? Leave your comments below….

Thermostats, climatically responsive clothing and reducing buildings greenhouse gas emissions
Kennedy, Rosemary J., Miller, Wendy, Summerville, Jennifer A., Heffernan, Maree E., & Loh, Susan (2007) Thermostats, climatically responsive clothing and reducing buildings greenhouse gas emissions. In Sustainable Building South East Asia (SB07SEA), Kuala Lumpur, 5 - 7 November 2007, Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.
|PDF (103kB)
There has been increasing reliance on mechanical heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in order to achieve thermal comfort in office buildings. The use of universal standards for thermal comfort adopted in air-conditioned spaces often results in a large disparity between mean daily external summer temperatures and temperatures experienced indoors. The extensive overuse of air-conditioning in warm climates not only isolates us from the vagaries of the external environment, but is generally dependent on non-renewable energy.
Research conducted at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) involved altering the thermostat set-points to two or three degrees above the normal summer setting in two air-conditioned buildings during the subtropical summer. It was expected that this minor temperature change would reduce energy usage of air-conditioned buildings and in turn, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this project was to measure the social, economic and environmental value of a different approach to thermal comfort, facilities management, corporate culture and acceptance of the benign subtropical climate.
Surveys were administered periodically to workers in the buildings to assess their comfort levels during a four month period. Internal and external temperature, humidity and air movement were measured. Data collected was used to compare weather data and energy use of the buildings from the same period in the previous year; and also to analyse users' physiological and psychological responses, including the acceptance of appropriate climate responsive clothing as acceptable business attire.
This paper presents the findings of the research, including 'lessons learned' and a set of strategies that may be used by facilities managers who adopt a similar initiative, to ensure that users of buildings are positively engaged and consistent protocols are communicated to all stakeholders.

These stylish cherry blossom themed place cards have an eco-friendly secret, they are plantable! Part of Event Blossom's Please be Seeded™ line, these decorative cherry blossom inspired place cards double as a wedding favor and place card all in one! Each place card printed with a branch from a cherry blossom tree also has a pink seed paper cherry blossom attached at the top that guests can easily remove and plant.

Each card is also cleverly printed with the phrase "Please be Seeded", sure to spark up some good conversation among wedding guests!
The best part is that this favor is environmentally friendly: The tent style place cards are made from recycled paper, and the detachable seed paper shapes grow into wildflowers. Your guests will love to plant and care for these wildflowers and will remember your special day each time they water them. Going "green" has never been so unique!
Idea: Write out your guests names neatly on each place card, or print on clear labels (not included) and affix them for a classy look!
12 place cards per package.

This autonomous robotic jellyfish that could one day patrol the oceans.
Robots don't just do funny dances and build car parts, they're also pretty good at beating the sh*t out of each other.
Looking to let people know you've finally jumped off the deep-end and failed at life? Tailly may just be the perfect answer.
You don't need pills that turn your poo to gold, but you really should have them. Here's our Xmas wishlist.
They're creating them to take over parental responsibilities.
It's like it's straight out of a "Terminator" movie.
Okay, how much more Gangnam Style could there possibly be in the world? We're at peak Gangnam, we are fully saturated with Gangnam.
Robots make hangovers worse and binge eating impossible. Smile!
Robots, cannibalism and monkey waiters, Japan's most epic dining and late night destinations.
Strap a machine gun on this thing and we're just one step away from a robo apocalypse. Somebody call John Conor!
Damn those robots! Always making trouble! Eliminate their asses in this fun free web game.
Remember that nerdy guy in high school that was always taking apart his computer and trying to put it back together? Well, now he's probably getting paid crazy money for inventing insane robot warriors.
You know what, man, robots have it easy. They don't have to think or eat or apologize to people for farting even if they don't mean it. And that's just ridiculous, that we've invented something that has it easier than we do…
So the latest madness from the grave of Michael Jackson is that the crazed popstar had grand plans for a robot duplicate of himself to be made from insanely detailed 3-D full-body scans. The robot MJ apparently was to be used to imitate the reclusive star in certain awkward situations…

Ads and commercials can be hit and miss with Microsoft. But we will say that within the last 18 months, they have had more wins than losses (see the Lumia 1020 recital or Surface 2 ones for evidence). Today, Redmond has pushed out a new teaser ad for the Xbox One and they seem to have hit all the right notes.
The commercial is titled 'Xbox One: Invitation' and features some real life celebrities in their elements, welcoming users into the action. The ad starts with Titanfall in a board room (reminiscent of the ED-209 scene from Robocop) and it goes on to highlight FIFA 14, Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3 (which is especially hilarious).
And that's the important message here: gaming.

Orthodontics is not merely for improving the aesthetics with a more beautiful smile. Orthodontic treatment improves bad bites (malocclusions) and helps promote healthy teeth and gums as well as providing other important health benefits.
Though a dentist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment. Beginning treatment at this time ensures the greatest result and the least amount of time and expense. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but vigilant examination can anticipate the most advantageous time to begin treatment.
Find out how a beautiful smile can change your life! Learn more about braces for children, adults and see before and after photos.
Braces aren't just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. A new smile can begin today.
Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
Good news! The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. Your options may include metal braces, clear or translucent braces or transparent, clear or "invisible" aligners that can be worn at night to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth.
During your initial free consultation, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. During this initial examination, we can outline the treatment plan, time of treatment expected and the approximate cost.
A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it's never too late to improve their greatest asset – their smile.

I cant see them on any reference pic so i'm confused. Are there really any on that piece?! Pics anyone?
I know I just saw a pic not too long ago but I can't seem to find it right now.
I did find this one however.
Hope this helps. :)
Yes, that is one of the few rare pictures showing how the cod piece and butt plate attach. Here is a condensed version of the pic in BountyHunter185's link.
Allright i see where you mean!
Thanks, guys!
That is another detail I totally missed! Is this just for the ESB or ROTJ version or is it on both?
That pic is of the RotJ suit. Due to the lack of really, really good reference pics of the ESB suit, I can't confirm or deny that they are on it.
That's the pic I have. I just sold a set of bolts on ebay, and was asked where they go. All I have is that pic, and I don't actually use them. The girth covers that part for me, anyway.
yeah my belts cover that part of the cod, but thats how I attach my cod & butt plate(ha butt plate)...I screwed those 2 pieces together using that, and velcro on the inside.

ABSTRACT Monkman's acrylic painting The Triumph of Mischief is the central subject of this investigation which includes its relationship to other paintings and objects in the installation The Triumph of Mischief. By applying Mieke Bal's narratology theory, the principles of carnivals as proposed by Mikhail Bahktin, the four dichotomies underlying Western movies, Monkman's appropriation of older art work, his use of various binary opposites and his inclusion of iconographic details from various art history epochs are explained. Investigating the painting from a postcolonial and postmodern theoretical angle demonstrates that several iconic images from Western art history are decolonized by mocking and undermining their intentions. Through the insertion of Native Americans and the leadership of a third gender indigenous person, Monkman reappropriates the land for Native cultures and reintroduces the acceptance of a gender spectrum. By comparison and contrast I show that Monkman ridicules iconographic conventions established since the Renaissance regarding gender roles. In a similar fashion he derides visual traditions pertaining to Lewis Henry Morgan's theory of cultural evolution and other epistemologies based on ethnocentric ideologies. iv Particular targets are the academic fields of anthropology and art history, including specific artists such as George Catlin and Albert Bierstadt, museums and other institutions. My examination supports a postmodern reading of The Triumph of Mischief and establish that Monkman critiques both overtly and covertly several universalist meta-narratives such as Western civilization, the Myth of the Empty West, the Myth of the Vanishing Race, stereotypes regarding Native Americans, Western movies and the Catholic Church.

An external hard drive can provide a place to back up your files so they won't be lost if your computer's internal hard drive crashes, but that's not one's only role. It can also expand your computer's storage capacity, giving you more room for large files such as digital video, high-resolution photos and music collections. In addition, these drives offer a simple way of sharing data between computers by simply unplugging the drive from one machine and plugging it into another.
External hard drives can use two different types of technology. Hard-disk drives (HDD) are mechanical, writing to and reading from spinning platters. This type of drive offers the advantage of higher storage capacity at a relatively low cost per gigabyte (GB). Solid-state drives (SSD), by contrast, use flash memory in place of spinning disks. SSDs are significantly faster than HDDs, as well as quieter and more compact. In addition, their lack of moving parts makes them less vulnerable to physical damage. On the downside, they're also considerably pricier.
Different external hard drives excel at different tasks:
The best external hard drives are reliable, easy to use and reasonably priced. We scrutinized expert tests and owner reviews to find tried-and-true external hard drives that won't let you down.
We all know we should be backing up our data -- but nowadays, that's a massive task. Experts say the Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive (Est. $110 and up) makes it easy, quick and affordable.
Inside this unassuming little paperback-sized slab lurks vast storage: 3 TB (Est. $110) or 4 TB (Est. $130), or you can opt for the Seagate Backup Plus Hub version that adds two front USB ports in 4 TB (Est. $130), 6 TB (Est. $190) or a "cavernous" 8 TB (Est. $230) that's ComputerShopper.com's Editors' Choice.
This drive absolutely slays its rivals in tests. It's very fast via USB 3.0 (and backwards compatible with USB 2.0), so backups won't drag on forever. It works with PC, Mac, iOS, and Android, with is supplied with Seagate Dashboard software that makes saving content posted on social networking sites (Facebook, Flickr and YouTube) a snap. It even throws in 200 GB of cloud storage for free.
And it costs just pennies per gigabyte. "It's an easy recommendation," CNET's Dong Ngo says. It's the top desktop drive at both PCMag.com and TheWirecutter.com, and it earns rave reviews from owners at BestBuy.com, Amazon.com and BHPhotoVideo.com.
Seagate backs the drive with a two-year warranty, but that doesn't include data recovery. "Just be sure your most crucial data is backed up somewhere else, too -- 8 terabytes of memories is a lot to lose," ComputerShopper.com's Matt Safford warns.
Our former Best Reviewed pick, the Western Digital My Book (Est. $100 and up) with USB 3.0, is "still a good second choice," TheWirecutter.com's Ray Aguilera says -- it's just not as fast overall in tests. It's priced similarly to the Seagate ($105 for the 3 TB version, for example, and $245 for 8 GB), carries a two-year warranty, and boasts reviews from thousands of satisfied customers at retail websites. Aguilera names it his runner-up pick.
Naming the best portable hard drive was a tough call this time around. We found two models that both get excellent reviews from professionals and users: the Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive (Est. $125) and the WD My Passport Ultra (Est. $55 and up). Both amass thousands of glowing reviews at Amazon.com and BestBuy.com, and both earn 4 out of 5 stars at CNET.
However, in head-to-head speed tests at PCMag.com and TheWirecutter.com, the Seagate Backup Plus Portable outruns the WD My Passport Ultra. It costs less per gigabyte, too, at less than $125 for 4 TB of capacity (the only size offered for this particular drive). On top of that, Seagate throws in 200 GB of free cloud storage. Those factors combine to earn the Seagate its Best Reviewed status.
For similar performance in a slimmer package, the Seagate Backup Plus Portable Slim (Est. $50 and up) and Seagate Backup Plus Portable Ultra Slim (Est. $70 and up) earn equally high marks from experts and owners. They're 12.1 and 9.6 mm thick, respectively (compared with 20.35 mm for the regular Seagate Backup Plus Portable). Capacities range from 500 GB to 2 TB for the Slim, and from 1 to 2 TB for the Ultra Slim.
WD offers a slightly longer warranty on its portable drive than Seagate -- three years, versus two. However, TheWirecutter.com notes that while both drives have fairly low failure rates as reported by Amazon.com users, the Seagate drive's is slightly lower.
If money is no object -- or your need for speed (and miniaturization) trumps it -- consider the Samsung Portable SSD T3 (Est. $100 and up). "'That's a hard drive?' my wife asked me, after seeing the T3," writes Justin Pot at DigitalTrends.com. "It looks more like a plus-sized thumb drive." It's roughly the size of a business card, and weighs about as much as four sheets of paper.
It's rugged, too. Samsung says its aluminum-cased drive can survive repeated 6.6-foot drops onto concrete, and temperatures from 32 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. As for speed, expect the T3 to write data nearly twice as fast as our Best Reviewed Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive (although read speed are fairly close), according to tests at CNET and PCMag.com. It connects with an included compact USB-C-to-USB 3.0 cable.
Inside this little wafer, you can store up to 2 TB of data, but you'll pay dearly for the privilege: Where the Best Reviewed Seagate drive will run around $120 for 4 TB of capacity, the highest capacity (2 TB) Samsung T3 will cost you around $690. If that doesn't faze you, or if you only need modest storage (the 250 GB version costs a more modest $100), it's worth noting that Amazon.com customers love this tiny SSD; it earns 4.7 out of 5 stars with more than 400 reviews posted. The drive is covered by a three-year warranty.
Most external hard drives are connected directly to your computer by a USB cable. Wireless external hard drives use Wi-Fi instead, and they can be accessed from a computer, smartphone or tablet. Because there's no cord, wireless drives are more convenient to use with laptops and tablets than a desktop drive (which keeps you tethered to a desk or table) or even a wired portable hard drive. Wireless drives are also small enough to carry with you on the go.
By far, the most recommended wireless hard drive is the Seagate Wireless Plus (Est. $140 and up). This drive provides 1 TB of storage -- and a version with a capacity of 2 TB (Est. $180) is also available -- that you can access wirelessly from up to eight devices at once. It works with PC, Mac, iOS, Android and Kindle Fire devices.
The Seagate Wireless Plus not only allows you to wirelessly back up your files (including photos and videos from your smartphone or tablet), but can also act as a Wi-Fi hub (so you can share a Wi-Fi connection with seven other devices) and video streamer (stream three different HD movies to three different devices simultaneously, including your home Blu-ray player, gaming console or smart TV). The drive syncs with Dropbox and Google Drive automatically.
The Seagate Wireless Plus is one of the top-rated hard drives at CNET, and it's a customer favorite at BestBuy.com and BHPhotoVideo.com. Reviewers like its versatility, large capacity and long battery life (up to 10 hours). However, they say its Wi-Fi transfer speeds aren't terribly fast. That's not a surprise, however, since, as CNET notes, the drive only uses the slower 2.4 GHz band, which limits transfer via Wi-Fi to a maximum of 150 MB/s. "It's a delicate balance Seagate has to juggle here, however, since supporting faster Wi-Fi speeds also would mean shorter battery life, a larger physical design, or both," Ngo says. If you want a physical connection for a faster transfer, you can use the USB 3.0 cable that comes in the box.
While most reviews describe it as simple and intuitive, CNET has a different take and notes that the Wireless Plus "doesn't natively support all popular digital video formats." Reviewers at Amazon.com seem to agree with CNET. While they like the drive's functionality, we saw many complaints that it's not intuitive to use. Some users also complain that the Wi-Fi connection can be glitchy and unstable.
To identify the best hard drives in each category, we studied reviews from a variety of computer publications and websites, such as PCMag.com, CNET, ComputerShopper.com, DigitalTrends.com and TheWirecutter.com. These sources conduct detailed, in-house tests of external hard drives to determine how fast they are at reading and writing various types of files. Reviewers also talk in detail about usability, evaluating the setup process, the software that comes with the drive, and the ease of using it with various types of third-party software. In addition, they offer comparisons of value, noting how a particular hard drive compares to others in its price range. The one factor that professionals can't always evaluate is long-term durability. To fill in that gap, we turned to the hundreds or, in some cases, thousands of individual user reviews posted at retail sites such as Amazon.com, BestBuy.com and BHPhotoVideo.com.

Whitechapel Gallery
The Whitechapel Art Gallery was founded in 1901 to bring great art to the people of east London. Internationally acclaimed for its exhibitions of modern and contemporary art and its pioneering education and public events programmes, the Gallery has premiered international artists such as Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Nan Goldin, and provided a showcase for Britain's most significant artists from Gilbert & George to Lucian Freud, Peter Doig to Mark Wallinger.
The Gallery plays a unique role in the capital's cultural landscape and is pivotal to the continued growth of East London as the world's most vibrant contemporary art quarter.
The Grade II* Whitechapel Gallery was designed by architect Charles Harrison Townsend. This purpose built gallery is an outstanding example of the Arts and Crafts movement and its aspirations of being accessible, spiritually uplifting and transformative. This development also builds on the 1980s expansion by Colquhoun and Miller under the directorship of Sir Nicolas Serota and inaugurated by the Queen Mother.

Alicja Kwade: Medium Median
- 28 September 2016 — 25 June 2017 *on now
Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade's commission Medium Median explores our relationship to space and time.
A 21st century mobile, featuring twenty-four electronic star charts, revolves at the centre of the installation. Slowly orbiting each other in a three-dimensional composition, the devices evoke kinetic sculpture and occasionally align in the formation of the constellation Cassiopeia.
As the sky charts receive information from GPS satellites showing the current locations of stars, they also vocalise in unison a reading of passages from Genesis. Directly connected to the universe, the screens become windows into a starry Milky Way, positioning the viewer at the centre.
Surrounding the mobile, Kwade (b.1979, Katowice, Poland) has placed several large bronze casts reminiscent of Modernist sculpture. Their biomorphic shapes are echoed in the artist's projection of an ambiguous mass rotating in a black void.
