The veil uses chalk from the white cliffs of Dover, in an intervention that beckons forth notions of home, identity — and the presence of the room’s former occupant. Parker’s installation in the House for Actions currently remains on one of the windows in Helen’s bedroom.
Across four weeks in Autumn 2018 Kettle’s Yard presented a programme of quick-fire exhibitions, each lasting for only one week.
A recent body of work by artists Broomberg & Chanarin was shown for the first time in the UK in week three of fig-futures at Kettle’s Yard. Bandage the knife not the wound (2018) is an ongoing series of overlaid photographic prints produced by the artists in what they describe as a ‘visual exchange’.

About Louise Bourgeois
Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) was born in Paris and lived and worked in New York from 1938. She is widely recognised as one of the most important figures of modern and contemporary art. Often biographical, Bourgeois’ work explores themes including childhood, family, motherhood and gender identity.
Kemp-Welch has been inspired by Cambridge pioneering company Pye Electronics, their history and remaining impact on the local community as well as Kettle’s Yard’s founder, Jim Ede’s own experiences of public broadcasting in the UK and USA.
International Women’s Day, Friday 8 March
Our Saturday event is in celebration of International Women’s Day which takes place on Friday, 8 March.
International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
Programme
Following a masterclass in January 2019 with Margaret Faultless, Head of Performance at the University of Cambridge Faculty of Music, one student ensemble will be selected to perform our final concert of the term.
The final programme will be announced later in the term.

Inspired by Jim Ede’s friendships, and the relationships that formed the Kettle’s Yard collection, Hamilton has invited other artists to contribute to the new display. Most of these, including Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann, Nicholas Byrne and Roger Phillips were also involved in the Hepworth Wakefield exhibition. Maria Zahle is a new addition to the collaboration.
"On first glance, it seems as if nothing is going on, but you should be able to notice subtle changes in light as clouds pass in front of the sun, animals, people, aeroplanes and boats moving in and out of the frame, and changes in the wind and wave patterns."
