Parliament

A bright, contemporary gallery space with large windows overlooking a cityscape, featuring an installation by Swivel at Independent 2025. Sculptural works resembling oversized plastic grocery bags filled with produce, chips, and receipts are suspended on the wall and placed on the floor. Wall-mounted vertical arrangements of snack bags are secured with bold-colored straps. The installation humorously critiques consumer culture and everyday consumption through hyperreal, soft-sculpture renditions of common grocery items. The space is minimal, allowing the playful and detailed works to stand out.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - FEBRUARY 05: John Bercow, the Speaker of the House of Commons, makes an address during the opening ceremony for the four surviving original parchment engrossments of the 1215 Magna Carta going on display to mark the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215, at the Houses of Parliament on February 5, 2015 in London, United Kingdom. The four original copies of the charter have been put on display together for one day on Thursday for the opening of the exhibition "Magna Carta and Parliament" which runs during February. The Magna Carta established the timeless principle that no individual, even a monarch, is above the law. In 1215, 40 rebellious barons came together to declare their rights to King John, and he reluctantly consented to their demands in an attempt to avoid civil war.

Britain's lawmakers should move out of London's iconic Houses of Parliament for six years while the crumbling building is renovated to avert a crisis, a parliamentary report said on September 8. Behind its neo-Gothic facades topped by the world-famous Big Ben tower, the mother of parliaments has been eroded by air pollution and is overrun with mice, prompting warnings that it may have to be permanently abandoned unless urgent renovations are carried out.
