DCA   Dundee Contemporary Arts

http://www.dca.org.uk/

DJCAD has a very special and close relationship with Dundee Contemporary Arts, a leading arts complex in the UK. This relationship is conducted on many levels: the University is a partner in the cultural initiative that established DCA Ltd in 1998; several of its staff serve on its company board of directors; the Visual Research Centre occupies the bottom two floors of the DCA; and most importantly many of DJCAD's researchers contribute to a myriad of activities staged within the DCA programme.

Activities have included: joint residencies (Scottish Arts Council, European Media Art Research Exchange); festivals (Kill Your Timid Notion, 2005/6/7- a unique festival of avant-garde sound art and film); symposia (e.g. Breathing Space: Architecture and Health - Frank Gehry's Maggie's Centre, Dundee Symposium, 2003, and Writing Scottish Art, 2006).
