Journey to the end of the world. The session will begin on 5 June at 2:30 pm and end on 6 June at 7 am.

On 18 April 1976, a sailor aboard the Galician fishing boat Eduardo Pondal glimpsed a small stranded boat in the waters off Cape Finisterre (a cape in Galicia whose name means ‘end of the world’). It was a vessel four and a half metres long painted yellow, red and white and christened Ocean Wave. They found the passport of the only crewmember in the cabin. Nine months earlier, after concluding the preparations for his project ‘In Search of the Miraculous’, the artist Jan Van Ader left from Los Angeles to cross the country in a car, towing the Ocean Wave behind him as far as the east coast of the United States. On 9 July 1975, he set sail from Chatham, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, with the aim of crossing the ocean in the boat until he reached Europe. The last recorded image of the artist is precisely aboard the Ocean Wave, vanishing into the horizon.

In this last session, we’ll embark upon an expedition to the sea in Finisterre. From the museum, we’ll travel until we reach the westernmost point of the known world, and once there, we’ll set sail on an ocean journey and go precisely 32 nautical miles from the coast to search for the miraculous.

Specific needs:

Appropriate clothing for heading out to sea.
