Abstract

"On July 9, 1975, Dutch-born artist Bas Jan Ader set sail from Chatham, Massachusetts, on a thirteen-foot sailboat. He was bound for Falmouth, England, on the second leg of a three-part piece titled In Search of the Miraculous. The damaged boat was found south of the western tip of Ireland nearly a year later. Ader was never seen again. Since his untimely death, Ader has achieved mythic status in the art world as a figure literally willing to die for his art. Considering the artist's legacy and concise oeuvre beyond the romantic and tragic associations that accompany his peculiar end, Alexander Dumbadze resituates Ader's art and life within the conceptual art world of Los Angeles in the early 1970s and offers a nuanced argument about artistic subjectivity that explains Ader's tremendous relevance to contemporary art. Bas Jan Ader blends biography, theoretical reflection, and archival research to draw a detailed picture of the world in which Ader's work was rooted: a vibrant international art scene populated with peers such as Ger van Elk, William Leavitt, and Allen Ruppersberg. Dumbadze looks closely at Ader's engagement with questions of free will and his ultimate success in creating art untainted by mediation. The first in-depth study of this enigmatic conceptual artist, Bas Jan Ader is a thoughtful reflection on the necessity of the creative act and its inescapable relation to death."--Publisher's description

Abstract

"Yeah I'm still searching" est un essai documentaire prenant pour point de départ "In search of the miraculous", dernier travail avorté de l'artiste conceptuel romantique hollandais Bas Jan Ader. Un travail en trois parties dont la seconde mena l'artiste à sa perte. Pour mes recherches, je me suis interrogée sur la question de la continuité et de la validité d'une continuité, tout en considérant le fait que l'unique documentaire existant à ce jour sur Bas Jan Ader a été réalisé à l'initiative de Mary Sue Ader Anderson, veuve et ancienne collaboratrice de celui-ci. La première partie de "In search of the miraculous" comprenait deux séries de photographies, reportant deux balades dans les rues de Los Angeles, entre tombée de la nuit et lever du jour. Deux séries de tirages noir et blanc sur lesquels l'artiste a ensuite écrit les paroles d'une chanson populaire, Searchin' de The Costers. Ce livre accompagne le documentaire. Il est à prendre comme une tentative de réflexion au sujet la troisième partie non réalisée, prévue à Amsterdam, et qui devait faire écho à la première partie. Il contient une série de photographies que j'ai effectuées en septembre 2020, deux nuits durant, pendant un passage éclair à Amsterdam.

Abstract

On July 9, 1975, Bas Jan Ader departed for what he called 'a very long sailing trip', a several month journey from Stage Harbor, Massachusetts, to the southern coast of England. The crossing was undertaken as part of 'In Search of the Miraculous', an artwork scheduled to be exhibited at the Groninger Museum in The Netherlands. On April 18, 1976, Ader's boat the Ocean Wave was found unmanned and partially submerged 150 miles off the coast of Ireland by the crew of the Eduardo Pondal, a Spanish fishing trawler. The Dutch artist's boat was taken to La Coruña for investigation. Days later, the boat was stolen. Ader's body was never recovered.'Discovery File 143/76' documents the mysterious fate of the 13 ft micro yacht at the center of artist Bas Jan Ader's ill-fated attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean. For the book, artists Marion van Wijk and Koos Dalstra compile years of research into the still unsolved mystery of Bas Jan Ader's disappearance. The Spanish police report documenting the boat's theft is reproduced in facsimile alongside a translation into English. The volume also compiles additional documentation produced during the editors' investigations including transcriptions of interviews with Ader's widow Mary Sue Anderson, curator Charles Esche, and family members of the owner of the Eduardo Pondal.
