Performing the Unseen. A Practice-led exploration of intangible cultural memory through engagement with the Alastair MacLennan Performance Art Archive

跨机构的监督团队在当代策展、行为艺术实践、批评理论和跨学科表演写作领域提供卓越的跨学科实践作为研究的专业知识。此外，在UOD的苏格兰大陆哲学中心提供的公开讲座将为Calum提供一个独特的背景，让他通过个人经验来扩大他探索现象学的研究。2019年，DJCAD收购了阿拉斯泰尔·麦克伦南的行为艺术档案。这一重要而独特的档案将是Calum的主要研究背景，因此DJCAD是唯一可以进行这项研究的地方。这一独特的英国S和世界上最多产的在世行为艺术家收藏包括30,000多张幻灯片、照片、录像带和数字记录，记录了从20世纪70年代到现在的600多种“动作”(带有装置元素的特定地点的持续表演)。该档案将于明年正式向公众开放，作为积极用于教学、研究和艺术参与的“活档案”，因此，Calum的研究恰逢其时，以支持学校的目标。此外，该档案馆的正式发布将与艺术家2023年的80岁生日重合，申请者将能够与艺术家建立联系，并作为庆祝活动的一部分参与活动。

The cross-institutional supervisory team offers exceptional expertise in interdisciplinary practice-as-research in the areas of contemporary curating, performance art practice, critical theory, and interdisciplinary performance writing. In addition, the open lectures offered at the Scottish Centre for Continental Philosophy at UoD will provide a unique context for Calum to expand his research exploring phenomenology through personal experience. In 2019, DJCAD acquisitioned the performance art archive of Alastair MacLennan. This important and unique archive will be Calum's primary context of research and thus DJCAD is the only place where this research can be conducted. This unique collection of one of UK-s and the world most prolific living performance artist comprises over 30,000 slides, photographs, videotapes and digital documentation of more than 600 'actuations' (site-specific durational performances with an installation element) from the 1970s to the present time. The archive will be officially launched to the public next year as a 'living archive' actively used for teaching, research and artistic engagement and therefore Calum's research is timely to support the School's aims with this archive. In addition, the archive's official launch will coincide with the artist's 80th birthday in 2023 and the applicant will be able to connect with the artist and contribute to activities as part of the celebrations.
