THE ART OF RON NOGANOSH

RON NOGANOSH’s sculptural assemblages integrateaspects of his Ojibway heritage with contemporary civilization’s garbage to create scathingly ironic comments on ecology, racism and socio-economic hierarchies. His goal is to encourage viewers to think, to cry, to laugh and to try to make a change. His work has been exhibited at the National Gallery and the Museum of Civilization in Canada, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, the Ethnological Museum of Russia, and the Museo Nacional de Mexico amongst others. His solo retrospective Ron Noganosh: It Takes Time toured Canada from 2000 - 2003. In the summer of 2004, his work was exhibited at the Musée National des Beaux Arts de Québec in Double Jeu:Identité et Culture along with works by Willie Cole of New York and Richard Purdy of Quebec. The publications, "Ron Noganosh: It Takes Time", by Lucy Lippard and Tom Hill and "Double Jeu: Identité et Culture, by Joyceline Lupien and Jean-Philipe Uzel feature his sculpture.

THE ART OF ROSALIE FAVELL

ROSALIE FAVELL was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Much of her work draws upon both her family history and Métis (Cree/English) heritage that goes back many generations in the Winnipeg and surrounding areas. She also uses other sources to present a complex self-portrait of her experiences as a contemporary aboriginal woman. In addition to scouring her family albums for visual material, she finds inspiration in popular culture, and has incorporated a number of Warrior women from television series and movies into her works. Recent work undertakes a spiritual quest, drawing upon a number of religions and beliefs. In 1998, she earned an MFA from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM. She is currently enrolled in a PhD program in Cultural Mediations at Carleton University.
