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.The Centraal Museum in Utrecht, the Netherlands is honoring the architect Gerrit Rietveld with a series of events through January that include an unprecedented exhibition, architecture trails throughout the country, and a magazine and iPhone app launch.
The Utrecht museum (/www.centraalmuseum.nl/), which is home to the largest collection of Rietveld designs in the world, has organized two so-called 'Rietveld routes' that from this month onwards take you to the most prominent of the architect's more than 100 buildings in the Netherlands by means of a just-released iPhone app.
In addition, the Eye Catcher series highlights a different region each month, where Rietveld's buildings will be open to the public. A list of these regions and their dates can be found here.
Further highlights of the 'Rietveldyear' include a display that shows Rietveld's furniture, such as the Red Blue Chair, on a scale of 1:144 (works by Maarten Meerman) and an unprecedented display called the Rietveld Universe, which will open in October and run through the end of January, as do the rest of the activities.
A special-edition magazine is available from the museum shop for €2.95.
