Beginning with the Biennale di Venezia curated in 2013 by Massimiliano Gioni, this documentary reconstructs the history and fortunes of so-called “outsider art”: from the formation of Jean Dubuffet’s Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne till the more recent birth of institutions such as the Museum of Everything. In an attempt to define the plurality of experiences behind this lone label, the creative director of the BBC ventured into production centers, galleries and private studios to meet the fascinating protagonists of this parallel creative universe, which appears increasingly integrated into the official art system.
