Artwork Description

Godoy's work questions and transforms norms related to race, gender, sexuality, and beauty. The term "AMIGXS," a gender-inclusive word in Spanish for "friends," encapsulates this challenge. The similarities between Godoy’s exploration of the human body through historical misrepresentation and Hamlet Lavastida’s analysis of propaganda tools highlight their shared quest to strip down and reframe the human condition. The artist's residency at the New Museum has provided essential resources and space for deepening his engagement with historical texts and performative reconstructions. This environment fosters a dialogue between contemporary art and education, encouraging a critical examination of history and its impact on present identities. Such support is crucial for pushing boundaries and fostering new perspectives within the art community.
