As a Curator he is currently the Director and Head Curator of the Torrance Art Museum, with particular curatorial interests in artist-led projects, emerging art, new models for curatorial methodologies and an international scope for partnerships, exchanges and building artistic communities. CBS Television named him in the top 8 Best Art Curators in Los Angeles (2015) and Modern Painters magazine included him in the 2018 Top 25 Curators to Watch from around the world, alongside colleagues from the Guggenheim, MOMA, Whitney, Tate, LACMA and other institutions.

Presneill has been a Professor of Art in both the UK and US, teaching at Undergraduate and Post-Graduate levels. His writings have been published in numerous publications and was also a contributing writer to the emerging artists section of FABRIK magazine for several years. He is the critical writer of over 50 artist and exhibition catalogs. He is the Founder of Durden and Ray (2009 - current), a curatorial collaborative group for artists and a gallery in Los Angeles, as well as Founder and Curatorial Director of ARTRA Curatorial (2010-18), an independent, voluntary, curatorial projects management team which organized international exhibition exchanges and was responsible for the Co/Lab Art Fair for alternative spaces (2011 and 2012) and the MAS Attack events (huge 300+ artists pop-ups, 2015-18).
