Demarco Digital Archive

The Demarco Digital Archive holds 10,000 images and documents gathered by Richard Demarco, gallerist, Beuys collaborator, founder of the Traverse theatre and a key figure on the Scottish arts scene since the '60s.

Thanks to the archive's annoying interface, I can't see a way to link to specific images, but this piece in the Scotsman offers a few highlights.

Very interesting, jack_mo, thanks. I wasn't aware of a collaboration between Jimmy Boyle and Joseph Beuys. What a peculiar event that must have been.

Wow! I'm speechless. I've never heard of this. Clicking on random links has resulted in a totally serendipitous, evocative and rewarding outing. [I agree though, I hate the presentation too.] Thank you very much for posting this. Richard Demarco has attended every Edinburgh Festival *T-Shirt collector extraordinaire*
