The reason for this overview of Kier's long career is not only due to his 80th birthday. Today, Kier's artistic stance is once again highly topical and full of possibilities for dealing with a reality that we often just want to get out of. If the world is going to end tomorrow, why not twist it into fantastic counter-realities today? Kier sees the challenges of a reality that has gone off the rails as an invitation to exaggerate its derailments even further. He doesn't seem to care whether others like the poses he strikes, he just doesn't want to appear boring. His addiction to attracting attention is also a search for what cannot be. It is not enough for itself, but forms a long, unfinishable movement around an empty centre - a dance without a name that can never be danced alone.
