Barbican | Until 10 August
The sculptures in this show span nearly a century of artmaking, their mediums ranging across plaster, bronze, terracotta, and found objects. Works from across Bhabha’s career are displayed alongside iconic works by Giacometti made mostly in the aftermath of World War II.
Here, the ancient, modern, and contemporary meet, with both artists sharing a longstanding interest in the history of figurative sculpture and the body as a site for the traumas of our times. The gallery becomes a landscape of ghostly figures, speaking to ongoing conflicts in which human life is seen as collateral damage.
