Bas Jan Ader Retrospective
September 29 - December 12, 1999
Main Gallery
Opening reception and panel discussion
Thursday, October 7 at 5pm
Panelists include: Brad Spence, exhibition curator; Jan Tumlir, art critic and essay contributor; and Mary Sue Andersen, widow of Bas Jan Ader and Art Department Chairperson at San Bernardino Valley College
Our events are free and open to the public.
A retrospective of the photography, collages, and films of the late conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader opens September 29 at the Sweeney Art Gallery, University of California, Riverside. Ader, a native of the Netherlands and member of UC Irvine's art faculty, died in 1975 at the age of 33 during a performance piece in which he attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a 13-foot sailboat. The Gallery will present a comprehensive look at the art and life of Ader, whose artistic experimentation encompassed such mediums as photography, video, performance, and some might say, his own life.
Catalog available:
Essays by Thomas Crow, Jan Tumlir, and Brad Spence. To order a catalog, please contact: [email protected].
This exhibition was organized by UC Irvine, and funded by UC/InterCampusArts
