跨机构的监督团队在当代策展，行为艺术实践，批判理论和跨学科表演写作等领域的跨学科实践研究方面提供卓越的专业知识。此外，在苏格兰大陆哲学中心在UoD提供的公开讲座将提供一个独特的背景下，卡勒姆扩大他的研究探索现象学通过个人经验。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。这是英国和世界上最多产的现场表演艺术家之一的独特收藏品，包括30，000多张幻灯片，照片，录像带和600多个“驱动”的数字文档（带有装置元素的特定场地持续表演），从20世纪70年代到现在。该档案馆将于明年正式向公众推出，作为积极用于教学，研究和艺术参与的“活档案”，因此Calum的研究及时支持学校的目标。此外，档案馆的正式启动将与艺术家的80岁生日在2023年，申请人将能够与艺术家联系，并有助于活动的庆祝活动的一部分。

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.
