REWIND | Artists’ Video in the 70’s & 80’s
A full-time PhD studentship
£9K Stipend plus fees per annum

REWIND is a research project that is developing a research resource  
that addresses the gap in historical knowledge of the evolution of  
electronic media arts in the UK, by investigating specifically the  
first two decades of British artists’ works in video. There was a  
danger that many of these works may disappear because of their  
ephemeral nature and poor technical condition.  The project seeks to  
determine the best examples of works from the period, conserve and  
preserve them, and enable further scholarly activity. An archive,  
website, major exhibition and publication will be employed to  
disseminate the works to the public and academic community. We now  
seek an outstanding individual who wants to undertake a PhD research  
programme attached to REWIND. The applicant must propose an  
independent research programme that relates to, and adds value to the  
research aims, objectives, and outcomes of REWIND. Further details of  
the research project are available at http://www.rewind.ac.uk/home.html.

The PhD studentship will be based at the Visual Research Centre  
within Dundee Contemporary Arts and at DJCAD, but will also involve  
travel and research within the UK and especially with the REWIND  
project partners based in London at the Centre for Arts Research  
Technology and Education (CARTE), University of Westminster.  
Supervision will be provided by Professor Georgina Follett, Professor  
Stephen Partridge, (Principal Investigator REWIND), and the REWIND  
Research Fellow, Dr Jackie Hatfield.

The post would ideally suit someone with an MA in a fine art related  
disciplines with an interest in critical, theoretical and historical  
issues in time based art, video art, media art, filmmaking, or  
installation, with applicants from other arts backgrounds being  
considered. You must be an excellent communicator, be able to  
demonstrate the commitment and aptitude required for postgraduate  
research and have an interest in the cultural aspects of moving image  
art. It is a condition of the stipend that the holder fulfils the  
AHRC eligibility criteria for PhD studentships and makes an  
application for a PhD project studentship to the AHRC within 12  
months of registration.

Applications in the form of C.V. completed application form and three
