Encounters: Giacometti x Mona Hatoum

Join us for a talk by leading contemporary artist Mona Hatoum.

This talk is given in relation to the exhibition Encounters: Giacometti x Mona Hatoum, open until 11 Jan.

Mona Hatoum presents a mix of pre-existing and new artworks alongside her own selection of Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures, opening up connections and dialogues across generations. Integrating historic works by Giacometti within her own installations, Hatoum responds to Giacometti’s work, with a focus on the motif of the cage, themes of domestic and hostile environments, and how these spaces affect the viewer of the artworks.

In this talk, Hatoum will discuss her own practice, as well as the work of Giacometti.
