Mentana\Bélanger\Sainte-Alexandre Group Exhibition at Gern en Regalia
Gern en Regalia in New York is presenting "Mentana\Bélanger\Sainte-Alexandre," an exhibition spotlighting the works of three Montreal-based artists: Betty Goodwin, Alexa Hawksworth, and Irene F. Whittome. The show explores the interplay of their diverse generational perspectives, focusing on themes of time, space, and the intangible. Hawksworth's "2025 Bélanger (2026)" creatively manipulates printmaking to redefine letters and numerals. Goodwin’s installation, "Mentana Street Project (1979)," transforms an empty apartment by modifying its interior. Whittome's "Room 901 (1980–1982)" captures her studio's evolution over two years. The exhibition also features themes echoed in Petrus Christus's circa 1450 painting, "Portrait of a Young Girl."
