Reviews for Bas Jan Ader: Death Is Elsewhere
"Dumbadze strips away the romantic-tragic myth to reveal a deliberate, ambitious, and philosophical artist. He compares Ader to other important Southern California figures like Chris Burden, Jack Goldstein, and Allen Ruppersberg....And he suggests that Ader's spectacular final voyage is just one of many reasons we should be thinking about him today." (New York Times)
