Dr Martha Fleming
Martha Fleming's work as an artist has long been concerned with similarities between artistic and scientific research and practice. Beginning with Le Musee des Sciences in 1984 -- a large-scale collaborative site work with Lyne Lapointe created in an abandoned beaux-arts post-office in Montreal -- Fleming has been investigating the social, economic and philosophical reasons behind the arbitrated rift between the two fields for some twenty years. She has exhibited in museums and galleries and made site-specific projects on three continents in New York, Madrid, London and Sao Paulo among others. She has been Artist in Residence at the Science Museum (London); Senior Research Fellow at the Leeds School of Art, Architecture and Design; Development Manager at the Royal Society, a Trustee of the Dennis Rosen Memorial Trust; and a judge of the Wellcome Trust sciart awards. She holds an MA from the University of London in the History of the Book, a PhD with Leeds Metropolitan University, and has taught in art schools in Canada, the UK and the USA. She has received a number of awards for her work from the Canada Council for the Arts, Art Matters New York, The Foundation for Sport and the Arts, and is currently a NESTA Fellow (2004-2007). She is a longstanding member of the British Society for the History of Science and the International Association for Word and Image Studies, and has both lectured and published widely.
