About

Craig Richardson and Jacqueline Donachie are graduates of The Glasgow School of Art, and now find themselves working in Loughborough’s School of Design and Creative Arts, with Craig as Professor of Fine Art and Jackie as a Doctoral Prize Fellow.

This discussion will be an opportunity to hear about the development of both Jackie’s practice from the 1990s onward in the wider context of socially-orientated sculpture, artists’ career patterns and the Glasgow art scene and beyond.
Jacqueline’s art practice is rooted in an exploration of individual, family and collective identity and the structures, platforms and spaces (both actual and conceptual) through which it is constructed and supported. Her work encompasses sculpture, installations, photographs, films, drawings and performance and is research-based, collaborative and participatory.

Her recent gallery exhibitions include ‘Deep in The Heart of Your Brain’ at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow (2016), an exhibition that drew wide praise for the manner in which it addressed disability, inheritance and ageing, and Right Here Among Them (2017), a mid-career survey show at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh that was the recipient of the inaugural Freelands Award. She holds a PhD from Northumbria University that examined the capacity for artworks to influence research and care in the field of genetics, continuing a long collaborative engagement with biomedical researchers in Newcastle and Glasgow.

This event is part of Arts Week, an exciting and diverse programme of online events from Loughborough University’s creative community. View the full programme of events at https://www.lboro.ac.uk/arts/whats-on/
