An acclaimed artist, touring her major career retrospective, has made Saskatoon the final stop on her extensive tour.
Shelley Niro is a multi-disciplinary artist born in Niagara Falls, New York, who currently lives in Brantford Ontario, and is a member of the Turtle Clan of the Kanyen’kehà:ka (Mohawk) Nation. Her career retrospective, Shelley Niro: 500 Year Itch, is currently exhibiting at Remai Modern until September 21.
It’s the final stop in a tour that started at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in New York, and included stops at the National Gallery in Ottawa, Art Gallery of Hamilton, and the Vancouver Art Gallery.
“It’s like opening a memory box. Some of the work was done 40 years ago, and you never think of it as hanging in such a magnificent place as the National Gallery,” Niro told Eagle Feather News.
