This remarkable director of major art institutions is originally from Sudbury. Marc Mayer has held leadership positions at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Brooklyn Museum, Power Plant and the MOCA in Toronto and finally, for ten years, as CEO of the National Gallery of Canada.
His talks shed light on the elemental components of the production and reception of art, the vital link between European and Indigenous culture in Canada, and the international exposure of Canadian art.
Marc Mayer, a native of Sudbury, Ontario, has held senior positions in five museums in Canada and the United States: Director and CEO, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (2009-2019); Directeur general, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (2004-2008); Deputy Director for Art, the Brooklyn Museum, New York (2001-2004); Director, Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery at Harbourfront Centre, Toronto (1998-2001); and Curator, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY (1994-1998). Previously, he promoted contemporary Canadian art abroad, notably in Paris at the Centre culturel du Canada (1990-1993), and in New York at 49 th Parallel, Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art (1986-1990). A writer, curator, art historian, and lecturer, Marc has organized dozens of exhibitions over the years and published widely on art and arts policy. His most notable exhibitions include the National Gallery’s Jack Bush retrospective (with Sarah Stanners) of 2014; the Jean-Michel Basquiat retrospective of 2005, and Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party of 2002, both for the Brooklyn Museum.
The author of numerous publications, his Art in Canada, 2017, was published to honour the sesquicentennial of Confederation. In 2019, Marc was cast as a “resident judge,” along with Toronto artist Joanne Tod, on Marble Media’s Landscape Artist of the Year Canada which aired in the Fall of 2020 on CBC. His one hour lecture The Forest Floor of the Art World aired twice on CBC Ideas, in October 2020, and in April 2021. More recently, he has organized two exhibitions of work by celebrated Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky: Le Paysage abstrait, now on view at Arsenal Contemporary Montreal, and the artist’s upcoming 2024 retrospective at the Saatchi Gallery in London. This summer, Marc was named Director of Arsenal Contemporary, New York, a gallery specializing in contemporary Canadian art. In 2022, Marc Mayer was awarded the Order of Canada for his service to the visual arts.
