Pebble Spiral created by Jim Ede for Kettle's Yard in 1957 a way of living : kettle's yard

Director: Chris Vile

Year: 2026

Henry Moore beside a pebble. Barbara Hepworth next to broken china. No labels. No velvet ropes. No explanation. Art stripped of its usual deference and curatorial esperanto. Art revealing its true power. Art for all. ‘You want to look at how it is and marvel at the ordinariness of it and the extraordinariness of it all’ (Lubaina Himid) Kettle’s Yard is a small, humble home. Created by a couple, Jim & Helen Ede, who, with little money, became supporters and friends of many of the most important artists of the 20th Century. Jim survived the trenches of the First World War but despaired of a society that could allow such horrors. His is a quiet, very British, revolution that has a powerful resonance today. ‘These fragments that you find all around Kettle’s Yard, they’re almost an equivalent to the fragments of a bomb blast that he’s trying to capture and hold, he’s trying to stop this explosive force of horror and warfare and people fighting’ (Andrew Nairne) Antony Gormley, Edmund de Waal, Cornelia Parker, Ai Weiwei and others, passionately explain why this humble place is so important to them and why Jim’s radical ideas are vital for us today.
