LOLA 10:
HIGHLIGHTS
Monk-y Business
Author: Gerald Hannon
A profile on Philip Monk, the Power Plant's long reigning curator
"Answer some silly questions," I say to,
of all people, Philip Monk. If you know him at all, you know him as the famously un-silly curator of the
Power Plant in Toronto, but the art-world denizens I'd been interviewing had described him variously as "the
virgin," as "Chairman Mao--he likes to have women around him," as "Mr. Slope" (a particularly oily
clergyman from Trollope's novel Barchester Towers), as a "brainiac," and in one memorable phrase, as "having the
appearance of an over-masturbated seminarian."

Art & Science
Author: E. Von Bark
An interesting trajectory on how
art and science are one.
Von Bark ain't a technologically advanced type, though I sure do enjoy just hanging out with scientists from a
purely superficial, voyeuristic perspective. The Subtle Technologies conference held at the University of
Toronto Innis Hall last May was a perfect place to be hanging out with scientists. The real theme underlying the
conference was the convergence of Art and Science, and like a lot of people attending, I don't even make that
kind of distinction. For me these two separate words, Art and Science, simply represent the same concept; it's
only a matter of tone or emphasis.

HIM
Author: Scott Anderson
Scott tries to find out as much as he can about Satan from the creator of HIM, Saskatoon artist Taras Polataiko
Visitors to the International Soros Centre for Contemporary Art in Kiev, Ukraine weren't sure at first what to make of the man's face, videotaped and projected onto the wall. Young, reasonably good looking, not at all what most had expected of HIM.
