Here are some loopers who have made the news recently:

| Sandra Gregson |
Sandra Gregson was mentioned in R.M. Vaughan's weekend review of Toronto's art scene in the
Globe & Mail. He wrote this about Sandra's recent show at Loop: "
Last chance to catch Gregson’s shredded-book wonders – exquisite mobiles, carpets, sculptures and collages made from carefully threaded strips of hapless, grinder-fed books. Best (ab)use of Joyce’s Ulysses ever." Read the complete article

| Modification, oil on canvas (16x20) by Ian McLean |
Ian McLean was featured in the last issue of
Hamilton Arts and Letters in an article called Ian McLean:
Yards & Muscle Cars by Andrea Rabinovitch. She describes McLean's work as follows:
"
Stylistically impressionistic in richly hued colours, the use of the sharply delineated pristine swimming pools in many of the paintings suggest, nature controlled, confined within a very strict order that is considered a status symbol we all subscribe to. Like the Hockney pools of the late sixties, they are used as a compositional tool to describe a place, both real and metaphorically inherent in us hapless humans, but also to consider the nature of water contained."

| Libby Hague at the AGO |
Libby Hague's installation at the AGO was reported in
ArtDailyNews and included the following quote from curator Michelle Jacques, the AGO's acting curator of Canadian art. “
Libby Hague’s playful, yet foreboding narratives give physical form to fictional worlds that simultaneously mirror and manipulate reality. Sympathetic Connections provides a timely exploration of our problematic relationship with the natural environment, invoking universal themes of responsibility and dependency, vulnerability and rescue, and risk and luck.”
And I published an extract of my conversation with Director and CEO of the AGO, Matthew Teitelbaum, on Fashion Projects. We chatted about art and fashion. The link is
