As part of the year-long Inside Out series, the Barbican Art Gallery presents a major exhibition on French artist Jean Dubuffet. Regarded as one of the most powerful and provocative voices in the post war avant-garde, Dubuffet aimed to create works that 'directly plugged into our current life, that immediately emanates from our real life and our real moods'. He was one of the first artists to show an interest in 'Art Brut', a phrase he coined himself that translates as 'raw art'. The exhibition draws on international collections and brings together rarely exhibited pieces in order to showcase his radicalism and experimental pieces.
