Christine Borland is an artist who likes to play detective. Her practice has constantly embraced scientific thought and research as a means of exploring the ‘fragile yet resilient nature of our humanity’, questioning notions of good and evil – in particular the ethical and moral issues raised by human genetics. Progressive Disorder documents five projects that are developed from the artist’s period of research with geneticists, medical sociologists and biochemists at Glasgow and Dundee Universities.
