Bas Jan Ader’s first solo exhibition took place at Art & Project in 1972. Twice a day from 15 until 21 April he performed by reading an article published in the Reader’s Digest: The Boy who fell over Niagara Falls. It describes the only recorded instance of someone surviving a fall. At certain moments during his reading performance Bas Jan Ader paused and drank from a glass of water.
