Show Notes

This chapter is the text written by curator Sandra Dyck for Man with Snowmobile. It is a minute long. 

The Inuktitut syllabics read, in English: When the snowmobile first came up north, everyone thought they were mighty machines compared to a dog team. In this case it isn’t, the dog team is more reliable than the snowmobile

This humorous drawing, which depicts a forlorn Inuk man standing by his broken-down snowmobile, is one of ten by Kanginanak Pootoogook selected by curator Christine Macel to present at the Venice Biennale in 2017. Macel wrote of her exhibition, Viva Arte Viva, that it “seeks to convey a positive and prospective energy, which whilst focusing on young artists, rediscovers those passed away too soon or those who are still largely unknown despite the importance of their work.”  

Please move to the next stop. Turn right and follow the path for four and a half metres. The drawing is on your left. You are now moving back down the other side of the long stem of the “L.”
