The show has garnered significant media attention, including a profile in the New York Times and praise from Cultured and Interview magazine, partly fueled by the sale of one of Brody's paintings for $425,000 at the amfAR Cannes Gala. However, the art press, including Artnet News, has been highly critical, with ARTnews reviewer Alex Greenberger describing the works as ugly, derivative, and lacking nuance.

The show spans two gallery spaces on West 22nd Street, displaying a diverse array of works including plexiglass boxes of mass-market paperbacks, graphite drawings, a yellow stuffed bunny with Kaposi sarcoma lesions, and sculptures referencing kink and fetish culture. The new work "Session" uses artisanal implements of pleasure and pain clipped to black chains, evoking personal narrative and autobiography.

Post-Mortemism: An Autopsy of “Nigerian Modernism: Art and Independence” at Tate Modern.

A critical essay by Ayọ̀ Akínwándé performs a forensic 'autopsy' of the Tate Modern exhibition 'Nigerian Modernism: Art and Independence.'
