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.

The Richard Wilson plastic body sculptures are really amazing. But the rubbish space by Tomoko Takahashi needs an explanation before seeing it, otherwise it is a bit strange. It's a fine line between inspiration and bullshit.

The central work by Takahashi is great, but I've seen three or four people do that kind of thing before. There are a lot of Goldsmiths Art College people, which is normal for Saatchi. I was wondering if because he is selling quite a lot of work he would be moving away from Goldsmiths. But this is slightly braver work than some of his more obvious collections.

It's chaotic but there is order to it. The rubbish piece by Takahashi I liked. I think the rubbish is open to so many meanings; a lot of it doesn't work or has been manipulated not to work. Maybe it is commenting on chaos and organisation. I also like the spaceship made with kitchen utensils by Brian Griffiths, just because it was really nostalgic; everything it uses I can remember.

I like the whole exhibition. It reminds me of how art doesn't need to be stuffy. I especially enjoyed the Paul Smith photographs; the ones of him out on a drunken evening, he gets so right. I didn't really like his Army ones. There is a lot more going on in the night-time photographs; the people and the colours used are very interesting. Whereas the Army is outside and camouflaged and looks a lot more set up - much more like snapshots.
