Pick of the week
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.Louise Bourgeois
This show of sculptural work gives a good impression of the veteran French artist. Bourgeois traverses the boundaries of the century's major art movements, linking the surreal with the conceptual while always maintaining her unique, individual imprint. If you failed to catch her recent exhibition at Oxford's MoMA, be sure not to miss this one.
To 13 Oct. Arnolfini, Bristol (0117-929 9191)
Helen Chadwick
In tribute to the late artist, a small but neat show of work commissioned a year before her death. Medical specimens are set in artistic contexts, making us question the concept of "ugly" and our whole notion of aesthetics. A poignant suggestion of what might have been, and not for the squeamish.
To 1 Sept. Portfolio Gallery, Edinburgh (0131-220 1911)
Edgar Degas
Last chance to see 'Edgar Degas: Beyond Impressionism'. In his later years, Degas withdrew to the semi-dark of his studio because bright light hurt his eyes. But his work is not that of a recluse; it is defiant and youthful, vibrant to the point of incandescence. Don't miss it.
To 26 Aug. National Gallery, Trafalgar Square WC1 (0171-306 0055)
