ART: Gallery 47 hosts the opening reception for a new painting installation, Jennifer McGregor‘s Slant. We’d love to tell you more, but as the exhibit explores the themes of “concealment and disclosure” it’s all kind of hush hush. We can suggest that with the installation’s air of whimsy, in a format usually reserved for film and sculpture, it may be the closest thing yet to physically entering a painting. 47 (47 Milky Way), 7–10 p.m., FREE.
FILM: The NFB offers an alternative way to experience Robert Lepage’s Lipsynch for those who find nine hours of theatre too daunting (see yesterday’s Drama Club coverage). Lepage: Breaking A Leg follows the production from its inception almost twenty years ago right through to opening night and beyond. For those who have seen the play, think of this as a DVD-type special feature which you have to go to the cinema to see. The screening opens with the short film NFB 70 years, a celebration of the NFB’s seventieth anniversary. NFB Mediatheque (150 John Street), 7 p.m., FREE.
MUSIC: Following his speaking engagement for L.I.F.E Movement earlier this week, Stop the Violence founder KRS-ONE has remained in town to do what he’s known for. The hip-hop veteran will be performing tonight at the Opera House, hosted by DJ team the Wildcore and with DJ Hex joining the bill. Opera House (735 Queen Street East), 10 p.m. doors, ~$28.
MUSIC: On the guys-with-guitars front, Malajube play a free show at Lee’s Palace tonight, courtesy of Montreal’s CHOQ FM and Pop Montreal (Merci!). We were lucky enough to get a taste of Malajube at an Exclaim! Spring Fling a while back, and are pleased to say these Montrealers can rock. Hollerado and Le Nombre play the opening sets. Lee’s Palace (529 Bloor Street West), 8 p.m., FREE.
PRIDE: Just as we’re anticipating catching our collective breath following Luminato, Pride 2009 enters with a dramatic flourish. Buddies in Bad Times launches its three-week Pride extravaganza on a comedic note, presenting Gavin Crawford and Elvira Kurt on stage for their one-night-only “comedy summit” called Together Again For the First Time. Buddies in Bad Times Theatre (12 Alexander Street), 8 p.m., $25.
