Kate Gottgens presents 'Her Own Myth' exhibition at Goodman Gallery
Goodman Gallery is currently hosting Kate Gottgens' exhibition 'Her Own Myth', marking her debut with the gallery. The artist's approach involves gathering ordinary found photographs and recombining elements from them to create new narratives on canvas. By extracting figures and settings from their original suburban contexts, Gottgens constructs ambiguous scenes that avoid nostalgia and fixed time periods, allowing for commentary on shared memory. Her recent work features translucent, spectral figures that appear to exist across multiple dimensions. This show precedes a solo exhibition scheduled for September 2026 at Norval Foundation.
