Richard Demarco is one of the most relevant and influential figures in the world of visual arts and theatre in Scotland, and Europe since the 60s.Since the beginning of his career, through the foundation of the Traverse Theatre (1963), the Richard Demarco Gallery (1966-1998), and later with the Demarco European Art Foundation, his involvement in the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe Festival, Demarco has been a key player in promoting the European Avant-garde in Scotland and fostering cultural exchanges in Europe. Most relevant collaborations include Beuys, Abramovic, Neagu and Kantor.Although some studies have been conducted regarding the relationships between Demarco and the European Avant-garde (see for example E. McArthur & A. Watson 2010) the Italian connection has not yet been uncovered, and seminal productions, exhibitions and exchanges with Italian partners have not been researched and re-assessed in a wider context. This partial investigation of Demarco's activity is possibly due to the sheer volume of events of differing nature that he has organised, promoted and participated in over the years, including exhibitions, performances, plays, conferences, travels, workshops Furthermore Demarco's archives are composed of an imposing amount of documents, photographs, books, artworks and ephemera.Demarco has produced and shown work from some of the most relevant Italian or Italian based artists of the 20th century: Alberto Burri, Baj, Chiari, Pascali, Paolini, Kounellis, Scialoja, Mimmo Rotella, Merz, Plessi, Sartorelli, Mulas, Quartucci and Tato'. Collaborations and exchanges include Italian cultural key figures such as Palma Bucarelli, the Count Panza di Biumo, Maria Gloria Conti Bicocchi, Achille Bonito Oliva.Part of the photographic archive has been digitised and became available online with the Demarco Digital Archive thanks to a project conducted at University of Dundee by Watson/MacArthur/Shemilt initially funded by the AHRB/AHRC (2002-2008), with a Resource Enhancement Award 'The Demarco Archives: Accessing a 40-Year Dialogue between Richard Demarco and the European Avant-Garde'. The previous involvement in the Team of the PI (Shemilt) and the Archivist (Lockhart) who collaborated in several projects related to Demarco would be a key facilitating element in the new proposal. Richard Demarco: the Italian Connection will capitalise on the recovered Demarco Digital Archive (around 10,000 records) and will give the opportunity to uncover the fundamental exchanges between Scotland and Italy through Richard Demarco in the European context.The project will make available for the first time through translations, seminal historical Italian materials to the larger audience of English speakers.This project aims to retrace the key exhibitions, theatre productions, events, programs and exchanges between Scotland and Italy organised by Demarco and assess their impact on the cultural community in both countries and provide useful sources for art and theatre historians, scholars, critics, curators, researchers and practitioners based in universities, archives, museums and cultural institutions internationally.Research will be undertaken by:1) Archival and bibliographical research2) accessing the extensive records of the Demarco European Art Foundation collection 3) Interviews with Demarco and the surviving artists, curators, performers, directors and animateurs involved4) Analysis & Reassessment of events, performances and artworks5) Rediscovery and occasional recovery of video and film artworks and documentation 6) Workshops and screening with artists7) Drafting of a Chronology of exchanges between Italy and Demarco in the European context.The research findings will be published in an edited, peer-reviewed book with an international call for papers to stimulate contributions from different methodologies and perspectives including Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Curatorial and Media Studies.

理查德·德马尔科是苏格兰和欧洲自60年代以来视觉艺术和戏剧界最重要和最有影响力的人物之一。自从他的职业生涯开始以来，通过建立特拉弗斯剧院(1963)和理查德·德马尔科画廊(1966-1998)，以及后来与德马尔科欧洲艺术基金会的合作，他参与了爱丁堡艺术节和边缘艺术节，在苏格兰促进欧洲前卫和促进欧洲文化交流方面发挥了关键作用。最相关的合作包括博伊斯、阿布拉莫维奇、Neagu和Kantor。尽管已经对德马尔科和欧洲前卫之间的关系进行了一些研究(例如参见E.McArthur&A.Watson 2010)，但尚未发现意大利的联系，也没有在更广泛的背景下研究和重新评估开创性的作品、展览和与意大利合作伙伴的交流。对德马尔科活动的部分调查可能是因为他多年来组织、推广和参与了大量不同性质的活动，包括展览、表演、戏剧、会议、旅行、研讨会。此外，德马尔科的档案由大量文件、照片、书籍、艺术品和星历组成。德马尔科制作并展示了20世纪一些最相关的意大利或意大利艺术家的作品：阿尔贝托·伯里、巴伊、基亚里、帕斯卡利、保罗、库内利斯、肖阿洛亚、米莫·罗特拉、梅尔兹、普莱西、萨托雷利、穆拉斯、夸图奇和塔托。合作和交流包括意大利文化关键人物，如Palma Bucarelli、Count Panza di Biumo、Maria Gloria Conti Bicocchi、AChille Bonito Oliva。由于邓迪大学沃森/麦克阿瑟/谢米尔特在邓迪大学开展的一个项目，该项目最初由AHRB/AHRC资助(2002-2008年)，资源增强奖：访问理查德·德马尔科与欧洲前卫人士之间长达40年的对话，部分照片档案已被数字化，并与德马尔科数字档案馆一起在线提供。以前参与PI(Shemilt)和档案保管员(Lockhart)团队的工作，他们在与Demarco有关的几个项目中进行了合作，这将是新提案中的一个关键促进因素。Richard Demarco：意大利语连接将利用恢复的Demarco数字档案馆(约10,000条记录)，并将有机会通过Richard Demarco在欧洲环境中发现苏格兰和意大利之间的基本交流。该项目将首次通过翻译向更多讲英语的人提供意大利开创性的历史材料。该项目旨在追溯Demarco组织的苏格兰和意大利之间的关键展览、戏剧制作、活动、节目和交流，并评估它们对两国文化界的影响，并为大学、档案馆、艺术和戏剧历史学家、学者、评论家、策展人、研究人员和从业者提供有用的资源。国际博物馆和文化机构。研究将通过以下方式进行：1)档案和书目研究2)查阅德马尔科欧洲艺术基金会藏品的广泛记录3)采访德马尔科和参与其中的幸存艺术家、策展人、表演者、导演和动画师4)分析和重新评估事件、表演和艺术品5)重新发现和偶尔找回视频和电影艺术品和文献6)与艺术家一起举办讲习班和放映7)起草意大利和德马尔科在欧洲范围内交流的年表。研究结果将发表在一本经过编辑、同行评审的书中，国际呼吁从不同的方法和角度激发贡献，包括视觉艺术、表演艺术、表演艺术和艺术策展与媒体研究。
