The brief but notorious career of Bas Jan Ader was mysteriously concluded when he disappeared at sea in 1975. He produced performances, photographs and films now highly regarded for their perversely humorous and melancholy embrace of the impossible. Born in the Netherlands, Ader’s penchant for European Romanticism and strategic failure played itself out in the utilitarian, technological landscape of 1960s Los Angeles. Films screened include I’m Too Sad To Tell You (1971), Fall II, Amsterdam (1970) and Untitled (Tea Party) (1972).
