Young Guns at the Fritzi
Since the opening of the Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre in 2007, the Fritzi Gallery space adjoining the upstairs lobby has been an integral part of a night out at the west end theatre. The idea has been that the content of the exhibition takes its theme from the GCTC play being presented at that time.
Under the curation of the Cube’s Don Monet the exhibitions have often taken a fascinating turn, with aspects of the scripts brought out to the foreground in ways that can surprise and challenge.
That collaboration is set to continue, according to both parties, but the wall space that stands empty in the off-season may soon have a curator all its own if Ottawa artist Trevor Sylvain has his way. In fact, beginning this September, Sylvain has already begun to take advantage of the space the gallery provides when the GCTC season is not yet underway.
