In this presentation we will explore Bas Jan Ader's life and work.

The sea, the land. The artist has observed their change and stood with great sadness to know they will be no more."

Who is Bas Jan Ader?

Ader was born in the province of Groningen, Netherlands on the 19th of April 1942.

His father was executed by the Nazis for trying to help Jewish compatriots escape.

He is a photographer and performance artist.

Education

Ader took art classes at the Rietveld Academy in the Netherlands.

He joined a study program and moved to the United States where he graduated with a BFA from Otis College of Art and Design in 1965.

He finished his Graduate studies at Claremont Graduate University in 1967.

Career

Before his exhibitions, Ader taught at several school such as UC Irvine, Immaculate Heart College, and Mt. San Antonio College.

Disappearance

On the 9th of July 1975, Ader attempted to cross the the Atlantic on a 13ft pocket cruiser, and failed. He was presumed dead after his boat was found unmanned.

"Whole series of photographs on dead in ocean, being washed ashore. My body practicing having been drowned."
-Bas Jan Ader (Notebook Entry)

I'm too sad to tell you

Ader's most famous work is a 3 minute silent black-and-white film titled, I'm too sad to tell you. The film only showed Ader crying for some unknown reason. Apparently, there is an original and much longer version of this film called Cry Claremont. Unfortunately, this film was lost. Ader also included post cards where the words "I'm too sad to tell you" were written and dated.

The significance of this piece was Ader's ability to express genuine sincerity despite having to stage the shot multiple times. Some artist believe that the reason for Ader's sadness is irrelevant for the work was about showing emotions.

Fall (Series)

Another famous work of Bas Jan Ader was his Fall Series. Fall is a another film by Ader. The film consisted of series of photographs of Ader falling in motion. Fall 1 showed Ader rolling off the roof and falling into the bushes, Fall 2 shows him riding a bike into the Amsterdam river, and Fall 3 captures him hanging off a tree and dropping down into water.

I am drawn to this piece because it reminds me of times I feel at peace. I often go on night drives and go on hills until I find a spot to look over downtown from. It makes me feel grounded. It gives me the freedom the breathe being able to see such open space and knowing how busy, loud, and cramped it is in the city.

PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME

I chose this because it spoke to me. Like Ader, I have lost my father, who I was very close with, at a young age. My mother then migrated to the United States leaving me and my brother in the Philippines. I've grown up having people come and go, and I have developed abandonment issues. The space, the uniform white paint, the small pictures hung up on the wall, and a huge print asking to be read and heard "Please don't leave me". To me, this room is what it feels like to be inside my head.

Ader is always on a journey to find something. It was never specified what he wanted, or what he was looking for. The reason for his sadness was unknown. To the day he disappeared, he was still in search of something.

The Works Of James Baxter

I think what makes James' work so prominent is the scenes he has worked on that always stick out compared to others people works. For example, when he had worked on Steven Universe specifically for one scene.

Another prominent work of his is from one of my favorite movies when I was a kid; Kung Fu Panda. He received an award in 2009 for Best Character Animation in a Feature Production.
