Vancouver Art Gallery Acquires Mark Igloliorte’s Eskimo Roll

The Vancouver Art Gallery has announced its acquisition of Eskimo Roll by Vancouver’s Mark Igloliorte. Created in collaboration with Navarana Igloliorte, the 3-minute video loop records an open air performance in which Igloliorte attempts to reproduce the famous manoeuvre in a kayak in Vancouver’s English Bay. Another edition of the same work was also acquired by the TD Bank Collection in 2019.
