Lola

Here’s one where you pick it up, read through it, put it down and say one of two things: “How come this magazine didn’t already exist?” Or “When’s the next one coming out?” Lola focuses on what’s most current in visual art in the city, but keeps that definition wide open to include everything from serious gallery openings to walls of graffiti. Truly, this thing is packed with well-written, informative show reviews from the 7A*11D performance art festival to the LOMO project to just about every public and private gallery show in the city. The production values are even high enough to reproduce plenty of the art they’re talking about. Although I’m sure there’s lots they haven’t caught, there so much they have that anyone interested in the contemporary art scene in Toronto really can’t miss this. (HC)
