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

跨机构管理团队在当代策展、行为艺术实践、批判理论和跨学科表演写作等领域提供跨学科实践研究方面的卓越专业知识。此外，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，通过个人经验扩展他对现象学的研究。2019年，DJCAD收购了Alastair MacLennan的行为艺术档案。这个重要而独特的档案将是Calum研究的主要背景，因此DJCAD是唯一可以进行这项研究的地方。这个独特的收藏来自英国和世界上最多产的行为艺术家之一，包括从20世纪70年代到现在的超过30,000张幻灯片，照片，录像带和600多个“动作”（带有装置元素的特定场地持续表演）的数字文件。该档案将于明年正式向公众开放，作为一个“活档案”，积极用于教学、研究和艺术参与，因此Calum的研究及时地支持了学校的目标。此外，档案的正式启动将与艺术家在2023年的80岁生日同时进行，申请人将能够与艺术家联系并为庆祝活动的一部分做出贡献。

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.
