Barbican Art Gallery stages the first major survey in the UK of the internationally acclaimed, London-based design maverick Ron Arad.

Ron Arad: Restless explores three decades of Arad’s designs from his early post-punk approach of assembling products from readymade parts to his exclusive and highly polished sculptural furnishings. Featuring a dramatic exhibition design by Ron Arad Associates using the latest LED display technology, Ron Arad: Restless also includes architectural designs and immediately recognisable mass produced pieces. Highlighting the significance of experimentation, process and materials in Arad’s work, the exhibition offers a timely insight into the development of objects from initial idea and fabrication to finished design.

Events programme - Inspired by Ron Arad’s infectious curiosity and boundless sense of freedom, Barbican Art Gallery will be celebrating his work with a host of talks, workshops and lively, late-night gallery activities. More info coming soon.

Online exclusives coming soon... - Coming soon is a dedicated exhibition microsite for you to immerse yourself in the work and world of Ron Arad. You'll be able to visit for updates, videos, blogs and much, much more.
