Thu 22 Jan - Tue 7 April
A season celebrating the visionary work of father/daughter duo, Andrew and Eden Kötting, stretching from Undershed to the cinema.
Join us for this multimedia jaunt through family, myth and the creative spirit.
In The Everyworld, everything is possible.
Filmmakers and artists Andrew and Eden Kötting invite you into an exuberant kaleidoscope of visions, snippets, memories, and collisions. A celebration of collaboration between a father, a daughter and an ever-expanding family of cooperation.
Alongside The Everyworld Exhibition in Undershed, we’ll also be presenting a series of the duo’s films in the cinema – from a series of short films in Mapping Perception, to their latest feature The Memory Blocks, which premiered at Edinburgh Film Festival.
Looking deeply at home as a place where family is forged and dreamed, from a home in the French mountains to memories of long-lost homes from the past.
With VR, giant inflatables, feature films, projections, sketchbooks and more – this season explores family, the creative spirit, grief and togetherness. With a multimedia exhibition alongside a series of events and films in the cinema from the Kötting family.

Toby Jones, Andrew Kötting (as a straw bear) and their merry men revive the wanderings and wonderings of Northamptonshire peasant poet John Clare.
“In The Everyworld, everything is possible. In The Everyworld, hope holds up her head and hopes. In The Everyworld, we are not by ourselves. In The Everyworld, tales will be told. In The Everyworld, we will all have deadads. In The Everyworld, the sun came dripping a bucket full of gold.”
— Andrew Kötting, Artist & Filmmaker
Andrew Kötting was conceived in Sidcup in 1958. After some early forays into market trading and scrap-metal dealing, he graduated with a Master's Degree in Mixed Media from The Slade in London.
Eden Kötting was born in Guys Hospital 1988 with a rare neurological disorder; Joubert Syndrome. She grew up in London and from a very early age developed a keen interest in drawing, painting and her father’s buffoonery.
Together they have made work for over 20 years - including their film Gallivant, a road/home movie about their four-month journey around the coast of Britain, along with Andrew’s grandmother and Eden’s great grandmother Gladys.
They have worked on numerous multi-media art projects, which include exhibitions, installations, performances, LPs, CDs and Bookworks.
In 2015, they also began their collaboration with the animator Glenn Whiting and went on to create short films for Channel 4, Random Acts, HOME and the BFI.
They share a studio in St Leonards-on-Sea opposite Screw Fix and Tool Station. They are also part of the collective Project Art Works who were short-listed for The Turner Prize in 2021.
