Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, Glasgow
Production Award: £90 962
Artist Jacqueline Donachie will work alongside geneticist Dr Darren Monckton
to undertake a series of filmed interviews with selected scientific and
medical professionals who were involved with the research leading to the
establishment of ‘anticipation’ in relation to certain inherited
genetic disorders. Anticipation is the term used to refer to the phenomenon
of the occurrence of genetic disorders at progressively earlier stages
in successive generations. It was only in the early 1990s that the unstable
section of DNA, which characterizes these conditions, was discovered;
much of the research was until then sidelined through its association
with the eugenics movement. It is anticipated that scientists involved
in this research, and in particular with Myotonic Dystrophy will be interviewed.
The film will be shown at scientific conferences and at the Hunterian
Museum and Art Gallery.
