ELAINE SHEMILT
RESEARCH
The work I make ranges across a wide variety of media - from sculpture and installation, to photography,
digital imaging and video. Ultimately, however, I regard myself as a printmaker who is concerned with
developing and extending the discipline to suit my needs as a practicing, contemporary artist. For example,
research for the series of works featured in the exhibition “Behind Appearance” was conducted in the library of
the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh where I concentrated on 18th and 19th Century anatomical
drawings. Considerable experimentation and adaptation of printmaking techniques, using both water based
and oil based inks, were required in order to produce imagery which could be layered on to a variety of
surfaces. I developed a method of printmaking using carborundum grit, which enabled the layering of
photographic and drawn images. In this work the much larger than life sized, anatomical, drawings of the
flayed figure became a new source of body imagery as well as marking the reversal of the layers of materials
and the bindings of the body in earlier work.
In ‘Chimera’, a video and sound installation comprising of eight different films projected onto four latex
screens, each of which is split down the centre and angled in space. The location of these screens is such
that the viewer is partially surrounded by the work and is invited to make their own connections between its
various components. The sound of the spoken word is itself a montage of poetry, fragments of which are
derived from a variety of different sources - sociology, psychoanalysis and feminist theory. The research
involved experimentation into the combination of traditional printmaking techniques with computer generated
imagery, creating a new way to output the digital imagery and to develop digital layering techniques with an
element of historical time by studying and incorporating imagery from earlier work of the 1970’s to introduce a
‘recycling’ of ideas and themes into the new collaborative output.
In the series of prints for ‘Intangible Bodies’ my research expanded upon digital retouching techniques to
create a series of manicured silicon photographic images, contrasted with monochromatic, traditional
etchings, using an adaptation of the photogravure process.
In the work for the Falkland Islands projects, research into materials and techniques of collage and montage
were developed to withstand extreme temperature changes.
COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS
My research originates in my practice as an artist and increasingly involves collaboration and interdisciplinary
activity with a broad range of researchers. I have initiated and developed valuable research opportunities not
only for myself but also for colleagues and students, through exhibitions, artist exchanges and residencies. I
would claim to be a person who can see opportunities for initiatives and projects, develop them and gain the
necessary funding, partners, and bring on board the creative people who will participate in them. I have
experience of leading and inspiring the people involved in creative projects.
Body memory
Collaborative research project between 4 professors and 15 students in Warsaw, Berlin and Dundee, on the
theme of Leibgedachtnis (Body Memory). Participating institutions were: Burg Giebichenstein, Hochschule für
Kunst und Design Halle (Halle College of Art & Design); Akademie Sztuk Pienknych Warszawa (Art Academy
Warsaw); Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design. Method involved a online group dialogue starting
2003 and culminating in detailed preparation and discussions in person for the touring exhibition. The
exhibitions consisted of 40 works, with traditional and conceptual approaches, including sculptures, paintings,
photographs and video, light and sound installations. The cross-cultural enquiry looked at articulations of the
body and how they are culturally perceived. The diverse aesthetic interpretations of the Body Memory theme led
to a critical and inspiring discussion between the participating groups. As an established British artist, working
with printmaking, video, sculpture and installation involving feminist issues, my intellectual contribution to this
exhibition was to pose a series of visual questions from the perspective of a woman, wife and mother on the
diverse aesthetic interpretations of Body Memory. My etchings were presented as an interchangeable
installation. They described in two dimensions the female form through the impression of clothing, however
the human form was absent. Azade Koker created a similar effect in three dimensions and the works were
hung in relation and “in dialogue with each other”. I also showed an earlier work Chimera (1998). The intention
was to subtly challenge the male perception of the female body in relation to the female experience of her body
through visual and poetic means. Images of the works and exhibitions and essays and discussion notes by
the professors and students are available on the Website. Reviewed extensively on Polish and German
national TV and newspapers. Kunstforum, bd171 Jul-Aug 2004, magazine, review, p15.
Millennium Corridor – The Falkland Islands
In 1999 I led a team of five artists and designers and seven students from the University of Dundee in the
Millenium Corridor project, Falkland Islands. The series of collaborative projects in the Falkland Islands, was a
unique collaboration between Dundee University Art and Design staff, the Ministry of Defense, His Excellency
the Governor, The Falkland Islanders and the City of Dundee. The object was to improve the physical
environment for servicemen and women stationed in the Falkland Islands. With the team of designers, a
sculptor and students a 1km corridor linking the service’s various facilities was transformed with art stations
and new signage. I also rescued artwork and graffiti produced by the soldiers during and after the 1982 conflict
and arranged for its display.
The Ministry of Defense funded the project and flew the team out to the Falkland Islands to plan and later
complete the galleries, art works, public art and signage in a mile long corridor. The project attracted a
substantial International profile and publicity for the University. What became known as ‘The Millenium corridor
project’ was funded through sponsorship and ‘in Kind’ from the Ministry of Defense at approximately £100,000.
It was significant in its interdisciplinary nature and cross faculty teamwork.
Traces of Conflict- Imperial War Museum
The experience of visiting and working in the Falklands led me to initiate a proposal for a four-person
exhibition to produce artworks reflecting upon the twenty-year old conflict with Argentina. This resulted in a
major exhibition entitled Traces of Conflict and accompanying publication, at the Imperial War Museum, in
London, curated by Angela Weight. The exhibition was reviewed in the Times in its best show list for London.
Accompanying Catalogue published by the Imperial war Museum with Forword by Jimmy Hood MP and
member of the House of Commons select committee for defence. Introduction by Angela Weight, keeper of the
Department of Art, Imperial war Museum.
My prints pursued a hybrid of traditional printmaking techniques allied with digital layering of images of Ajax
Bay and images from performances and works from 20 years previous. The multimedia work ‘Fragments’
juxtaposed photos taken at the time of the conflict with versions of the same composited images employing
new blending techniques and dissolves.
Project Atlantis
Following on from the Falkland Islands, Project Atlantis was created. Project Atlantis is a small research and
consultancy group based in Springfield concerned with environmental protection and education. I act as the
Artistic Director and, along with team leader Brigadier Nicholls raised the funding necessary for the first
project, with lectures and briefings to key public bodies and companies during 1999-2001. In 2002 we
completed a comprehensive web site, which brings the beauty of the Island of South Georgia and its natural
heritage to worldwide Internet access. The purpose of the 200-page web site is not only to raise environmental
awareness and contribute to sound and safe management, but also to provide an online educational
resource. South Georgia’s environmental charter signed by the Commissioner (Donald A. Lamont) and FCO
Minister (Valerie Amos) accessible in the Government Section, provides the building blocks for long-term
environmental management. The project has attracted the appropriate profile and publicity and is on the
National Grid for learning. We have also recently completed the first ever visitors briefing video for the
environmental management of the Island.
The team is now completing a second project with the FCO for the Government of South Georgia and South
Sandwich Islands approached the Project Atlantis team to research and transform the recently refurbished
shell of the historic scientific research station called Discovery House, into a visitors center. The house was
built when RRS Discovery (Now at Discovery Point, Dundee) was in South Georgia to complement her
research. The space is to be devoted to the achievements of scientists on South Georgia, including British
Antarctic personnel and to re-create a facsimile of the early Post Office.
The Demarco Archives: accessing a 40-Year Dialogue between Richard Demarco and the European Avant-
Garde.
In 2003, with the experience gained from developing and delivering electronic resources for Project Atlantis I
suggested to Richard Demarco a digitization approach to his archive building upon the Content Management
System we had developed through Project Atlantis. With the assistance of two colleagues in Fine Art we
received an AHRC Resource Enhancement Award of £320,000. The project runs from 2004-2008 and is
based at the Visual Research Centre and online through the University of Dundee. For the past four decades
Demarco has contributed to Scotland’s cultural life. His archive is a comprehensive record of the activities of
the Richard Demarco Gallery and latterly of the Demarco European Foundation.
It is estimated that the archive contains in excess of half a million photographs taken by Demarco himself,
plus books, documents and original artworks charting his work with such Eastern European artists as Marina
Abramovic, Magdalena Abakanowicz and Tadeusz Kantor. Many items also reveal his lengthy friendship with
Joseph Beuys, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Paul Neagu and Jimmy Boyle. The Archives contain material of
international range and significance, relevant to contemporary visual art, theatre, literature, cultural studies,
history and politics. By creating a virtual archive of some 10,000 works, the diverse contents of will be
presented in a coherent way with web access for scholarly and public use. Research informs texts that
identify, cross-reference and contextualise visual material. The key outcome is the creation of the digital
database accessed through a dedicated web site.
From the 21st March until 1st April 2007 I was invited by the National Centre for Culture and the Adam
Mickiewicz Institute to accompany Richard Demarco to visit Wroclaw, Cracow, Lodz and Warsaw in order to
assist Richard Demarco who was giving lectures on cultural perspectives on modern Europe, his archive and
the Polish artists who had attended previous Edinburgh Festivals. We visited important museums, galleries
and artist’s studios meeting with representatives of the Art World in Poland. www.nck.pl/demarco
Quote : “Richard Demarco is without doubt a remarkable man, an Italian Scot, a founder of the Traverse
Theatre, a man who is an artist, a writer, a philosopher. He is a man who has brought contemporary visual
arts to the Edinburgh Festival. He has been involved in more than 50 Edinburgh Festivals, and has brought
great artists like Joseph Beuys and Kantor to thousands of people. He has also brought the visual arts from
other parts of the world, from Eastern Europe, long before other people were interested. And he has inspired
us all…”
Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate Gallery, 2000
The Scottish Crop Research Institute
This is an ongoing collaborative research project with two scientists from the Scottish Crop Research Institute,
started in 2005. Involving representational scientific data, visual art and sound, We are investigating whether a
Science – Art fusion can move the boundaries of visual and audio interpretation. My artistic re-interpretation of
the scientific data has contributed to new insights. Rather than simply identifying genes unique to a pathogen,
the screen prints revealed the presence of other genes present in all of the bacteria, possibly representing
genes essential to all forms of bacteria.
A subsidiary aim is the promotion and understanding of plant pathology to the general public; the promotion of
SCRI as a world leader in crop science; Pilot stage was funded by a grant from the Mylnefield Trust (£5,000)
allowing the development and the presentation of an interim exposition of prints and 2D and 3D computer-
generated and projected imagery in High Definition Video. The work has been exhibited and the subject of
lectures at three International Conferences:
