Refurbishment of Network Rail’s Reception area at the Mailbox, Birmingham.
Project Description: The main reception area of Network Rails office within the Mailbox complex was completely refurbished. Works included an internal strip out of the area and an adjacent office which was refurbished. Decorations and floor finishes were carried out including the installation of new lighting & small power reconfiguration. The reception desk itself was changed to a bespoke, modern, user friendly, oak finished desk. New digital imagery was mounted on all walls within the reception area.
In the adjacent toilet accommodation new sanitary ware was installed.
Achievements
• The graphics for the wall finishes were mounted behind the reception desk and adjacent walls. This had to be done out of hours during the evening due to the scale of the
montage.
• 24 hour access through reception was needed so Shaylor coordinated the cordoning off of areas for works to be carried out safely.
• Noise levels were kept to a minimum.
• A good relationship with the client was achieved by working closely with them - All works were on programme and to budget resulting in potential future work.
• We worked closely with the building managers of The Mailbox to supply and achieve all their health and safety goals whilst the works were being carried out.

Presumably this Network Rail support vehicle is used for clearance evaluation given the various cameras fitted around the bodywork. Shortly after the 153 test train departed it reverted to road mode and left the track.

At least from the front it is complete. Left to do is to mount the 30A metered PDU's in the rear. The front rails have been pushed back to make room for cable management on both sides. The networking equipment will be put on the bottom, the gap at the top is for two UniPower Inverter Shelves (DC to AC).
Once the switches come in we will build the patch cables from the switch to the panels. This rack will be the heart of our 10 Gb network.

Tom Price, who was born in London in 1981, studied at Chelsea College of Art and the Royal College of Art Sculpture School. In 2009 he was featured on BBC Four television documentary, Where is Modern Art Now? He was awarded the Arts Council England Helen Chadwick Fellowship. In 2010 he featured on BBC Four’s, How to Get A Head in Sculpture. He was also included in 10 Magazine’s Ten Sculptors You Should Meet. His statues, which are currently on display at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, trace the evolution of Price’s approach to the male figure.
The exhibition at YSP employs bronze statuary in ways that subvert the tradition of sculpture. Bronze statues traditionally represent individuals of great significance within canons and traditions of thought and practice. The British tradition can be linked to an interest in similar practices employed in the Classical civilisations. Usually commemorated in this way are white men, typically in public places in Britain of civic interest. A well-known example would be the statues that can be found in Trafalgar Square in London. Price’s statues represent anonymous subjects: black men in the street, along with images from print media. The status of these anonymous subjects is raised by referencing the tradition of bronze statuary in this way and thereby subverts the power relations of the hierarchies reflected.
A nine foot tall bronze statue with black patina of a young black man stands in the grounds of YSP. Its title is Network. He is broad-shouldered and dressed in urban clothing. The subject is glancing at his mobile phone. His downcast features subvert the tradition of representing heroic, powerful figures by impressing for his vulnerability. While the figure is charismatic for the great scale of its dimensions, it is also modest: powerful and powerless at the same time.
Price continues to use the scale of the statues to undermine both the sculptural tradition employed and the hierarchical inequities implied. Elsewhere in this exhibition the visitor is invited to view male nudes – the first male figures made by Price. Mounted on plinths, the viewer might expect a representation of a famous aristocrat or politician. The small scale of the nudes speaks of vulnerability, as does the posture of the figures. Their features indicate a lugubrious weariness. These powerless nudes are given the titles of roads in Brixton (Price’s home). The streets themselves are, somewhat ironically, named after individuals of significance within canons of thought and practice in Western culture.
Price is interested in the mental narratives that result in the individual’s reaction, formed of subconscious and conscious assumptions and judgements, when we first meet someone. He explores posture, expression and status with the use of bronze statues and the relevance they have to current ways of thinking and behaving. Bronze heads can be found displayed on plinths. They are sprayed with car paint, thus adding a contemporary edge to what might have been an old or even ancient representation. Where a heroically arranged physiognomy might be expected, again that same downcast vulnerability is overwhelmingly detectable. Price employs one of the oldest media to be manipulated by man and makes an extremely relevant appeal to contemporary understanding and empathy.
Tom Price, until 27 April, Bothy Gallery & Lakeside, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield, WF4 4LG.
