Timeline

Martha Fleming is a museum professional and academic, working primarily in the intersecting fields of history of science, museology and history of collections.

1893

La Donna Delinquenta refers to Cesare Lombroso's 1893 book, The Female Offender, an early and influential criminological treatise profiling prostitutes, immigrants and poor people in order for police to identify prospective criminals.

1958

Fleming was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on 2 October 1958, the daughter of Canadian graphic designer Allan Fleming (1929-1977) and publishing executive Nancy Fleming (1931-2008).

Her brother is the furniture designer Peter Robb Fleming.

Her sister is the Chef and Culinary Arts Professor, Susannah Jane Fleming.

The siblings’ godparents were the poet Richard Outram and the artist Barbara Howard.

1960

The family home was a hub for Canadian creative professionals in the 1960s and 1970s, and was well appointed with furnishings both traditional and modernist, antiques, art and an extensive book collection.

Fleming's childhood took place in this expansive cultural context.

1963

Fleming's father experienced stress-related health challenges while working as vice president and Executive Art Director for MacLaren Advertising (now McCann Worldgroup) from 1963 to 1968.

1974

Fleming worked for rare book sellers in Toronto on leaving school in 1974, including Monk Bretton Books and the Albert Britnell Book Shop.

At the suggestion of her godfather, Fleming concurrently audited courses in English Literature at the University of Toronto, including lectures by Northrop Frye on the narrative structure of the Bible, lectures which were later published posthumously.

1976

Her parents separated in 1976, and her father died shortly thereafter in 1977.

1980

This approach derives from her earlier career (1980-1995) as an artist and art critic, where she developed a lasting interest in interdisciplinary methodologies integrating research and practice.

She also publishes her research in scholarly contexts such as History of Science and Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press.

1981

She lived and worked in Montreal, Québec, from 1981 until 1996, when she moved to London, England.

Much of her research is practice-based, translating into exhibitions, strategic development instruments, and pedagogical programmes.

In 1981, Fleming established both a romantic and collaborative relationship with French-Canadian artist Lyne Lapointe.

The couple lived together in Montreal, Quebec, where from their studio base they produced internationally a substantial body of research-intensive site-specific installations that were mainly self-organised, forging a deep and intersectional feminist aesthetics.

Their hybrid practice was informed by, and contributed to, emerging artforms at the time such as installation, site-specificity, conceptual art, institutional critique, representational critique, readymades (found-objects), and appropriation.

The projects which occupied abandoned architectures constituted forms of urban activism, inscribing critical thinking in marginal spaces in cities, and refuting the privatization of public space.

Each Fleming and Lapointe project addressed a specific nexus of epistemic and political concern, addressing complex social issues historically embedded or metaphorically present at such sites.

1989

In December 1989, Fleming and Lapointe held their first collaborative exhibition in a museum setting, titled, Eat Me/Drink Me/Love Me, at The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.

1995

At the end of their 15-year relationship in 1995, Fleming and Lapointe had a retrospective, titled Studiolo, incorporating the bulk of research, processes, and discursive and creative projects that they shared.

1996

She has held research, teaching and leadership positions in both museums and universities in the United Kingdom, where she has lived since 1996.

She has also held posts in university museums and collections in Denmark and in Germany.

In 1996, Fleming moved to London, England.

While her formative years collaborating with Lapointe still greatly influenced her later work, her relocation to the UK enabled her to develop her practice further in interdisciplinary research fields, as she participated extensively in research projects at several major UK museums and universities.

Fleming has specialised in the design, creation and management of research projects and centres which conjoin humanities disciplines (often in university settings) with museum and collection institutions.

Fleming has furthermore lectured, edited, and published in various contexts, including that of lectureships, scholarly journals, and art journals.

1997

Fleming was awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship in 1997 to pursue a MA (Master of Arts) in The History of the Book at the School of Advanced Study of University of London.

Fleming later received her PhD, titled From Le Musee des Sciences to the Sciences Museum: Fifteen Years of Evolving Methodologies in the Art and Science Interface from the School of Art, Architecture and Design of Leeds Metropolitan University.

In her early artistic career, Fleming was an involved in various artist-run centres, and authored art criticism and theoretical articles for publications such as ArtForum, Open Letter, and Block, among others.

The show was exhibited at the Museum d’Art Contemporain in 1997, and later at the Art Gallery of Windsor 1998 invited by curator at the time, Helga Pakasaar.

Accompanied with the exhibition was an associated book, also titled Studiolo.

The book showcases the philosophical, historical, and aesthetic frameworks associated to the exhibition, and is located in Artextes Editions of 1997.

2000

Since the beginning of 2000s, Fleming has been the recipient of several grants, and has been involved in several major interdisciplinary research projects.

2013

Fleming has taught in universities and in museum-university partnerships, most notably as inaugural Programme Director of the Centre for Collections Based Research at the University of Reading (2013-2016).

2019

The title and exhibition is a response to poet Christina Rosetti’s 19th century allegorical poem "Goblin Market", which explores themes of feminine temptation, redemption, and conflicts between virtue and sensual pleasure, in a pastoral setting.

Eat Me/Drink Me/Love Me, transformed the Museum's gallery in to a space of a domestic yet nature-rooted environment, with found objects, materials from the natural world, and other architectural elements.

Together, these elements transfused the themes of emotional and sexual possibilities or restrictions for women, including a homoerotic twist, inspired by "Goblin Market."
