Aging in Montclair: Docent Tour

Join Aging in Montclair at the Montclair Art Museum for an engaging docent-led tour of Nadia Myre: Analog/ues.

Nadia Myre: Analog/ues is the first expansive solo exhibition in the U.S. for celebrated Canadian Indigenous artist Nadia Myre. Based in Montreal, Myre translates complex Native and settler histories of North America into multimedia works that open cross-cultural dialogues. She reconfigures elements of beadwork and language to create experimental ceramic sculptures, process-oriented videos, and text-based works that examine the range of ways we can interpret the records of the past. In Myre's vision, administrative documents such as wampum belts, the U.S. Declaration of Independence, maps, and museum records become subject matter with double meanings. They are both analog—have a material, pre-digital resonance—and serve as analog_ues_, or are comparable to other things.

The exhibition features more than 40 of Myre's works—including recent, large-scale, and never-before-seen pieces—with additional historical objects from MAM's renowned Native American art collection. In these unsettled times, Myre's art both exposes and expands the limits of how we communicate in order to navigate difficult histories and propose new possibilities for the future.
