I just received my copy of Bas Jan Ader's documentary from AgitPop (!)-
Cult Epics and Agitpop Media proudly present Here Is Always Somewhere Else, the critically acclaimed documentary about enigmatic Dutch/Californian artist Bas Jan Ader (1942-1975), whose daring conceptual performances culminated in his mysterious disappearance at sea.
Film about the life and work of Dutch/Californian conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader, who in 1975 disappeared under mysterious circumstances at sea in the smallest boat ever to cross the Atlantic. As seen through the eyes of fellow emigrant filmmaker Rene Daalder, the picture becomes a sweeping overview of contemporary art films as well as an epic saga of the transformative powers of the ocean. Featuring artists Tacita Dean, Rodney Graham, Marcel Broodthaers, Ger van Elk, Charles Ray, Wim T. Schippers, Chris Burden, Fiona Tan, Pipilotti Rist and many others.

Also interested in this idea of Failure. Failure as a starting point for posing questions that have no definitive need for a correct answer. Failure is a way of entering into an idea without preconceived need for resolution-Or something like that. One of the reasons I like Bas jan Ader so much plus his beautiful, fragile work.
