Jacqueline Donachie is a Baxter Research Fellow at University of Dundee. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1991, won a Fulbright Award for MFA at Hunter College in New York in the late 1990’s and has established an award-winning career as an artist working across socially engaged, interdisciplinary practice. Her work is held in many significant public collections, including Tate and the Arts Council of Great Britain. In 2016 she completed a PhD with Northumbria University that examined the capacity for artworks to shape research and care in the field of genetics, continuing a long collaborative engagement with biomedical researchers in Newcastle and Glasgow.
Recent gallery exhibitions include ‘Deep in The Heart of Your Brain’ at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow, an exhibition that drew wide praise for the manner in which it addressed disability, inheritance and ageing, and Right Here Among Them, a mid-career survey show at Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh.
Donachie also creates public, site-specific projects and publishes artists’ books, including public commissions from NPRO, Oslo, Norway; Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) Melbourne and Edinburgh Art Festival. She has recently completed new public works for Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art and Beautiful Sunday for Folkestone Triennial 2022.
