Giant spider sculpture reinstalled at the Tate Modern
A giant spider sculpture has been reinstalled in the Tate Modern as part of the gallery's 25th anniversary.
Created by the artist Louise Bourgeois, Maman is a bronze, stainless steel and marble spider first installed in the Turbine Hall in 2000.
Maman will form the start of a new trail leading visitors around 25 key works in the gallery's collection.
Catherine Wood, Tate Modern's director of programme, said: 'We wanted to lead visitors around the whole building on a journey from old favourites to new discoveries.
'The selection showcases how art has always pushed the boundaries and challenged norms, ultimately letting us all see the world through new eyes.'

Indian author Banu Mushtaq wins International Booker Prize with short story collection
LONDON — Indian author Banu Mushtaq and translator Deepa Bhasthi won the International Booker Prize for fiction Tuesday for 'Heart Lamp,' a collection of 12 short stories written over a period of more than 30 years that chronicle the everyday lives and struggles of women in southern India. The award was announced by bestselling Booker Prize-longlisted author Max Porter in his role as chair of the five-member voting panel, at a ceremony at London's Tate Modern. It is the first time the award has been given to a collection of short stories. Bhasthi is the first Indian translator — and ninth female translator — to win the prize since it took on its current form in 2016. Mushtaq is the sixth female author to be awarded the prize since then. The stories were originally written in Kannada, which is spoken by around 65 million people, primarily in southern India. Porter praised the 'radical' nature of the translation, adding that 'it's been a joy' to listen to the evolving appreciation of the stories by members of the jury. 'These beautiful, busy, life-affirming stories rise from Kannada, interspersed with the extraordinary socio-political richness of other languages and dialects,' Porter said. 'It speaks of women's lives, reproductive rights, faith, caste, power and oppression.' The book, which beat five other finalists, is made up of stories written from 1990 to 2023. They were selected and curated by Bhasthi, who was keen to preserve the multilingual nature of southern India in her translation. Mushtaq, who is a lawyer and activist as well as a writer, told a short list reading event on Sunday that the stories 'are about women — how religion, society and politics demand unquestioning obedience from them, and in doing so, inflict inhumane cruelty upon them, turning them into mere subordinates.' The 50,000-pound ($66,000) prize money is to be divided equally between author and translator. Each is presented with a trophy as well. The International Booker Prize is awarded every year. It is run alongside the Booker Prize for English-language fiction, which will be handed out in the fall.

An International Booker Prize-shortlisted literary translator has told how she 'sneaks in' Scottish words to all of her books. Scottish translator Barbara J Haveland, who is nominated for the major award for her translation of On the Calculation of Volume I by Danish author Solvej Balle, said she liked to use words including 'outwith' and 'forenoon', as well as 'swither' at least once in each of her translations. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad On the Calculation of Volume, translated from Danish by a Scottish translator, is among six books shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. | Booker Prize The novel, the first of a seven-part series by Ms Balle, is one of six books in the running for the title. It made the cut from the longlist to the shortlist last month, scooping a prize of £2,500-£5,000 for the author and £2,500 for the translator. The overall winning International Booker Prize book will be revealed at a ceremony at Tate Modern in London on Tuesday. Ms Haveland said: 'I have this thing - and I have had for all of these 33 years [that I've worked as a translator]. In every book I will try try my absolute best to get into sneaking in at least an 'outwith' or a 'forenoon'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'It's a little thing with me that I try to get in at least once, and all of these editors come along and say 'what is this word?' And I always argue the case for it. It's a little point of pride with me.' The book, which was originally self-published in Denmark by Ms Balle and became a word-of-mouth phenomenon, is part of a septology that sees the protagonist stuck in the same day. The first three volumes were snapped up in a six-way auction by Faber in the UK and the original Danish version won the 2022 Nordic Council Literature Prize. Ms Haveland said she had been about to retire when Ms Balle, whom she had worked with almost 30 years earlier, contacted her. She has now agreed to translate the second volume of the series, but insists she will pass on the mantel to another translator for Volume III onwards. 'I've been lucky over the 30 years I've been translating literary fiction to have some great books come across my desk,' she said. 'There are ones I've been very enthusiastic about, but this is something else. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Honestly, I thought 'oh, God, if there's one book I have to do as my last book, it just has to be this, because it's just amazing'.' Danish author Solvej Balle wrote On the Calculation of Volume. | Sarah Hartvigsen Juncker Ayrshire-born Ms Haveland, who is based in Copenhagen, translates fiction, poetry and drama from Danish and Norwegian to English. If the book were to win, she would scoop a £25,000 prize. Ms Balle would take home the same amount. Former bookseller Ms Haveland, who cites her greatest literary inspiration as her former high school English teacher, author William McIlvanney, has translated works by Danish and Norwegian writers, both classic and contemporary, including Henrik Ibsen, Peter Høeg, Linn Ullmann and Carl Frode Tiller. Ms Haveland and Ms Balle both believe there has been a surge of interest in translated fiction, partly due to an increase in popularity of subtitled film and TV on streaming platforms such as Netflix. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Ms Balle said: 'I felt in the 1990s, there was a huge gap between at least a lot of European literature and the British American literature. But I just think we've got closer to each other literature wise more recently.' Barbara J Haveland is the Scotland-born translator of the book. | Faber
