LOLA #12 HITS NEWSSTANDS - FRI. MAY 3, 2002

FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Power Plant director Wayne Baerwaldt dishes it out in a Lola interview exclusive (insider notes included!)
• Trampoline Hall, the new literary event that encourages speakers to say inane and silly things

And, of course, the usual Lola faves, like:

* JASON DUNDA'S TOP TEN ... Art Brand Names * ASK LOLA'S LAWYER ADAM BOBKER on a painting of Queen Liz II doing the dirty * Social crawler SHINAN GOVANI on TO's art scene openings (bad!) * DAVE DYMENT's Short History of Artists' Pseudonyms * and RM VAUGHAN'S What's Wrong With You? Vol. 4

PLUS! * WHAT IS THAT?--A new series by JON SASAKI who explains what something weird is * PREVIEWS of art shows comin' up in the sunny months of May and June (get outside) * and OVER 115 SHOTGUN REVIEWS (more than we've ever published in a single issue)

LOLA WRITER GERALD HANNON RECEIVES A NATIONAL MAGAZINE AWARD NOMINATION

Last year Lola won National Magazine of The Year Award Honourable Mention. That was nice.

This year the super talented writer Gerald Hannon scored a nomination for his in-depth profile on the Power Plant's curator Philip Monk ("Monk-y Business" Lola 10). This is a seriously good read, and the only really revealing article ever written on The Monk. Congrats Gerald!
