Ron Noganosh (1949 - 2017) was an Anishinābe Canadian artist working in sculpture, installation, and printmaking.[1] Noganosh was born in Magnetawan First Nation near Parry Sound, Ontario, but rose to prominence in the Ottawa region.[2]
Initially trained in graphic design at George Brown College in Toronto, Noganosh studied fine arts at the University of Ottawa, joining a wave of indigenous artists relocating to the city in the 1980's and 1990's.[1] A pioneer of the assemblage art movement in Canada, Noganosh's sculptures utilized readymades and found objects to criticize issues facing indigenous Canadians.[1] One of his most prominent installations, Anong Among Us, 1999, at the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina, utilized projection and sculpture to evoke memories of loved ones who had died as a result of residential schooling, suicide, or addiction.[1]
Later in life, Noganosh became involved in a number of regional arts organizations. Alongside prominent First Nations artists Barry Ace, Ryan Rice, Cathy Mattes, and hasiw Maskêgon-Iskwêw, Noganosh helped create the Indigenous Curatorial Collective.[1] Noganosh co-founded the Ottawa Ontario 7 (OO7) in 2012, alongside Ace, Rosalie Favell, Ariel Smith, Frank Shebageget, Leo Yerxa, and Michael Belmore.[1]
Noganosh's work has been exhibited and collected internationally. His art can be found at a number of Canadian institutions including the Ottawa Art Gallery, Canadian Museum of History, and the Woodland Cultural Centre.[1] His relationship to the arts community in Ottawa was documented in the text Ottawa Art & Artists: An Illustrated History, an open-access publication from the Art Canada Institute.
Noganosh died in 2017.[2]
