Cruz y Ficcion(es), by Patrick McGrath Muñiz

Patrick McGrath Muñiz’s art knocks you off balance. It tests or mocks your religious sensibilities. In Cruz y Ficcion(es), for example, he’s replaced the label above the head of the Crucified One with “FREEMAN,” with the letters F-E-M-A popping out. Christ is nailed to a partially destroyed electrical post. The border features paper towels and other items the Federal Emergency Management Agency might be expected to supply after a disaster. FEMA notably failed in responding to Hurricane Maria, which devastated Puerto Rico last year.
