Ian Kiaer’s artistic practice is driven by a utopian and experimental approach. For several years, he has been developing the Endnote, Tooth project, which he presents in various forms. He draws inspiration from the concepts of the urban planner Moshe Safdie and the utopian architect Frederick Kiesler, notably his theory of “correlation” and from his project Tooth House from the end of the 1940s in the shape of a human tooth that was never completed. Kiaer creates his paintings, sculptures, and installations from manufactured or found materials, blurring the boundary between intentionality and chance.

Born in 1971 in London, Ian Kiaer graduated from University College London (1995). He also holds a master’s degree in painting (2000) and a doctorate from the Royal College of Art (2008) on the house as a model of thought. He lives and works between London and Oxford.
