Letter:Past and present key to art
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.HOW extraordinary that your art critic Tim Hilton failed to see the point of the exhibition "Time Machine'', organised by the British Museum in collaboration with the Institute of International Visual Arts. How can he have failed to notice the wor k of so many exciting young artists intervening in the traditional space of the museum? The past and present are not easily separated, as the artists demonstrate. It is the conjuncture of ancient and modern, Europe and Africa which has fuelled the most e xciting art of our century, from Wilfredo Lam to Pablo Picasso.
