Reviews

"The fulsome documentation of Ader's In Search of the Miraculous-a multipart project that ultimately involved the Dutch-born, Los Angeles-based artist's Quixotic and fatal attempt, under the sign of art, to traverse the Atlantic in a small sailboat-is splendidly presented in a little volume published by the British art magazine Afterall." -- Eric Banks, Bookforum
