On Sunday July 28 from 1 pm, Marion van Wijk and Koos Dalstra will host an afternoon around the life and practice of Bas Jan Ader. They will talk about their research, will show some rarly shown video’s and get more in detail about Ader’s stay in Amsterdam in the summer of 1971. Afterwards there will be a screening of ‘Here is Always Somewhere Else (2007) a documentary about Bas Jan Ader by René Daalder.

 

Funny fact: for more as 35 years Marion lived few houses from where is now our space, so most of vW&D’s research actually took it’s start at our beloved street.
