Comment | Exhibitions comparing artists can be problematic, but the Barbican brings Giacometti, Bhabha and Hatoum together with perfect judgement

The Barbican in London has opened two new exhibition spaces in a redesigned former restaurant, showcasing the work of Alberto Giacometti alongside contemporary artists Huma Bhabha and Mona Hatoum. Curated by Shanay Jhaveri and Émilie Bouvard, the shows pair Giacometti's sculptures with Bhabha's and Hatoum's works, drawing formal and thematic connections without forcing comparisons. The exhibitions highlight shared preoccupations with the human body, vulnerability, and resilience, while allowing each artist's distinct approach—Giacometti's figuration versus Hatoum's found-object manipulation—to remain clear.
