Bas Jan Ader
[ Sunday 26.1.2025 ]
«Bas Jan Ader then puts the idea into practice with highly economical means, through a series of performances with a clearcut outline, documented through photographs and texts. All excess information is stripped away from the idea. No stories are told about the background of any of the actions Bas Jan Ader performs. Only an announcement, the documentation and some of the material (the music sheets) used in the process are presented.»
— Jan Verwoert, essay «Existential Conceptual Art» (Afterall Books, 2006).

Here is Always Somewhere Else
«It makes perfect sense that Bas Jan Ader should so prominently enter the Zeigeist in the age of Internet, which gives its users unprecedented acess to his mystique. For starters there is the YouTube generation’s identification with conceptual films in which artists feature themselves as the stars. But thematically there are also many points of reference. The irony of the work, tinged with a melancholy streak, has survived extremely well. And Bas Jan’s acts of defiance against elemental powers much greater than himself reminds us of the best slapstick comedy as well as the edge of impending disaster that is the lure of extreme sports. It appears that Bas Jan’s strategy to use gravity as a temporary relief from the everyday world takes on special significance for younger generations who increasingly live their lives at the intersection of a suffocating physical sphere and disembodied virtuality of their online existence.»

Transdisciplinary Studio
M A N I F E S T O
If artists and designers continue to insist on requiring a studio – then shouldn't the way each of them mobilizes it be a crucial component of any analysis of their practice?
— Alex Coles, The Transdisciplinary Studio (Sternberg Press, 2012)
Questioning the definition of disciplinary boundaries and the nature of the possibilities of their transgression, the Transdisciplinary Studio is an appeal to transdisciplinary methodologies and the current contextualization of the understanding of ‘transdisciplinarity’ as a new studio model for the expanded structure that is specific to contemporary artistic practice.
Here, the idea of the Internet as a meta-working space that complements the physical studio is explored and represented.
Interested in the distinction between ‘transdisciplinarity’ and ‘interdisciplinarity’, this project looks at “transdisciplinarity” as a new kind of ‘intelligence’ that mirrors the bond between mind, affection and body, while calling for a paradigm change that would also embrace a (University) reform.
