Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Twelve new sculptures have appeared at the New Art Centre in Wiltshire for its summer exhibition Let There Be Sculpture!.
The works are dotted around the extensive grounds of Roche Court, a country house built for Admiral Nelson in 1804, where the gallery is based.
The diverse selection of works range from James Capper’s mechanical contraption (pictured) to Marcus Kleinfield’s ‘Totem,’ which resembles a cross between a streetlamp and a coat hanger.
Awst & Walther’s reconstituted soil effort has been designed to look like a gravestone; while Molly Smyth’s ‘Triumphant’ celebrates human interaction within a given space, in this case, an approximation of a children’s playground.
“As the range of material available to artists multiplies and traditions, cultures and histories are assimilated into its practise, sculpture will always find new arenas and new forms,” a spokesperson for the gallery said.
“[The exhibited works] are not a unified expression of a shared sensibility, rather a demonstration of the boundless prospects for sculpture now and in future.”
