THE ART OF RON NOGANOSH

RON NOGANOSH’s sculptural assemblages integrate aspects 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.
