After years of making art about the death of our ecosystem and the sociological effects of climate change, Keating experiments with creating an emotional time out. For just a few moments, let’s feel joy together. Serving as a miniature extravaganza spectacle, using erratic non-narrative and non-verbal imagery, Keating has condensed joy into four measures.

Carnal Pleasure; food, sex, physical pursuits, the body
Entertainment; surprises, thrills, laughter, ALIVE!
The Natural World; oh, to breath that mountain air
Music; without which life would be hell
