An extreme measure of his short ride into the canal, is it not?

Sorry, the name of the piece doesn't spring to mind right now.

Horvitz you genius

Its nice that someone likes Bas Jan Ader's work and did this, but it doesn't really feel like anything of his I'm used to seeing.

Simply riding a bike into the shallow surf seems to me a misconception of Ader's great artwork. More of a superficial formal imitation.

I think you shouldn't see this as a way to imitate Ader's work, but more like some sort of tribute to him in the style of his work. Considering Ader died in the sea, you could interpretate this as his death; presenting it as being by Ader himself would make it seem as if Ader knew he was going to die (which he definitely must have known anyways).

This is an homage made by the artist David Horvitz.

google the essay by wade saunders called "In dreams begin responsibilities" - it's a great article about patrick painters relationship to bja's work. i tried to post the link, but it got deleted, probably thought i was spamming.

This was not posted by Patrick Painter Gallery and there is no evidence that this is in fact a film by Bas Jan Ader.
