I recently had the profound pleasure of documenting the exhibition 'Encounters: Giacometti x Lynda Benglis' at the
@barbicancentre Level 2 gallery the other day. The show runs until 31st May and is a wonderful display of two masterful sculptors.
'Running through both artists' practices is an interest in the human body. Both artists, working directly with their hands, set up a tension between the boundaries of sculpture and painting, stillness and movement. Where Giacometti's figures are attenuated, permeated with a sense of distance, isolation, and anxiety, Benglis's surfaces evoke skin, flesh, and bones and celebrate the erotic capabilities of the body. As both artists' works incorporate qualities of fragility, ephemerality, weightlessness, and excess, they speak powerfully to the importance of shared human experience in times of turmoil and unrest.'
