Marnie Fleming has a Masters degree in Art History from the University of British Columbia. She has worked at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC (1981-1986), and Museum London, London, ON (1986-1991). Since 1991 she has been the Curator of Contemporary Art at Oakville Galleries where she has developed a curatorial practice that represents a long-term experiment with the trajectory of site-specific projects within a suburban community. Her research places value on understanding the relationships between identity and the interplay of space/place. Fleming has organized over 200 exhibitions, interventions, and outdoor projects. The recipient of grants and writing awards, she has contributed numerous catalogue essays and articles on issues of photography, installation art, and new media practices. In addition to recent publications for Oakville Galleries are those produced for the National Gallery of Canada: Is there a there there? (2007) and Angela Grauerholz: The Inexhaustible Image (2010). Fleming was selected as the Ontario juror for the 2011 Sobey Art Awards.
