Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_Donachie:
Jacqueline Donachie (born 1969) is a Scottish artist who uses drawing, photography, sculpture and installation. She lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland. Donachie studied fine art from 1987 to 1991 at the Glasgow School of Art. She graduated from the School's Environmental Art department, which encouraged artists to place their work in a variety of public contexts outside the gallery space. She completed a Masters of Fine Art at Hunter College, New York in 1996. Donachie was one of a group of artists who helped establish Glasgow in the 1990s as one of the world's most dynamic contemporary art communities. There has been a retrospective exploring this body of work in Glasgow, which was called Generation [continues].
