‘In 2006 the clip Newly Found Bas Jan Ader Film appeared on YouTube. The six second clip features a man bicycling into the sea. It is announced as a work by Bas Jan Ader found at UC Irvine, where Ader was teaching in the 1970s. The story is not unlikely. Bas Jan Ader, who was lost at sea in 1975 while undertaking an Atlantic crossing that was to be the second work in a series he entitled In Search of the Miraculous, left a small body of highly noticeable works, mostly short films and photographs. One of these works, Fall II, Amsterdam from 1970, is a short sequence showing Ader biking along and then into a canal. The newly found work could be a related iteration. As many of Bas Jan Ader’s works show, he was interested in inserting his own body into a relationship with gravity, investigating phases of transition, the time and space between two locatable states, from standing up to falling down, from hanging from a tree to hitting the surface of the pond below.
It was revealed that Horvitz was in fact the author of this newly found work. Assumingly on request from the gallery Patrick Painter who represents Bas Jan Ader’s estate, Youtube removed the clip for ‘copyright infringement,’ only for it to reappear soon again posted on an account carrying the name of PatrickPainterGaller – most likely Horvitz’s work. Currently you can find the clip as the first video appearing when googling ‘Bas Jan Ader,’ and also on the official Bas Jan Ader website under the section Homages. However tricksterish Horvitz’s effort may appear, it does also expose a great admiration of Ader’s work and kinship to the ideas he brought forth. Newly Found Bas Jan Ader Film was not produced to be shown in a gallery space. It was rather a device that, circulating on the internet, triggered certain mechanisms and revealed how a number of parties reacted to the potential existence of a never before seen Bas Jan Ader work. Horvitz reveals how it is possible to insert new information into already existing narratives and shift their immediate appearance. A work by David Horvitz is today a very visible part of a Google search for ‘Bas Jan Ader’. It is fair to say that he faked his way into this hierarchy of information, but the fact that he succeeded so well is worth our attention. It points to our unfounded reliance on whatever a Google search brings us, and comments on the potentialities of the fake as well as questions our relationship to the real.’ From “But Mr. Horvitz, Where Is The Work?”.

CANDICE BREITZ, Thriller, 2005
commissioned original film on DVD, 5’54”
limited edition
menu for both loop and single play, jewell box with booklet
with composition of Alex Fahl and contribution by advertising agency KesselsKramer, Amsterdam
€ 65,- plus registered mail

Remarkable art piece on DVD! ‘Thriller’ of Michael Jackson has been for this project especially re-mixed by the artist with the help of four Michael Jackson copy cats and fans. Fascinating film cuttings of look-a-likes in the rythm of ‘Thriller’ creating a fragmented collage.
“Thriller originated from a close collaboration between Candice Breitz and Alex Fahl. The work is based on Michael Jackson’s 1982 song of the same name and was made with footage from their 2005 video production King. Of the 16 characters in this work, they selected four hardcore Jackson fans for Thriller: a belly dancer, a Jackson lookalike, a tough guy in his twenties and a real man. We see and hear how they dance and sing along to their heart’s content to the biggest hit of all time, were it not for the fact that Fahl eliminated the text and limited himself to the protagonists’ breathing, humming, laughing and shouting between the words. He made a remix using this audio material and the original beat from Thriller, and later added the original, corresponding video footage. Subsequently, the four clips were edited next to each other. This makes it seem as if they are all performing together, whereas in reality that was not the case. Just as in many of her other films, here too Candice Breitz emphasizes the importance of music as comfort and a source of pleasure. Amateurism, admiration, submission, impudence… Her protagonists are as innocent as children.
Erik Kessels from the KesselsKramer advertising and communications agency also uses the music that Alex Fahl based on Jackson’s Thriller. His contribution can be seen as a tribute, almost bordering on nostalgia. Instead of people, Kessels lets every kind of conceivable cassette tape move across the screen. From Sony to Maxell, from Philips to TDK. They jump to the rhythm of the music, and the tape moves with it for the duration of the song. This conceptual rendition of music gives Fahr’s sounds something that is simultaneously soothing and unsettling. In 1982, there were barely any CDs around, and for a certain generation it’s almost youthful nostalgia to see all those familiar cassettes follow each other on screen at such a quick pace. Kessels shows, in a way bordering on desperation, how immensely popular Thriller was and still is (Michael – written in teenage handwriting on one of the tapes, complete with a heart above the ‘i’ – is an especially poignant detail). Michael Jackson never equalled the sale of 45 million copies worldwide again, and both Kessels and Breitz emphasize with their contribution how fused they have become to this song.”
