Fifteen might be an awkward age for some, but I think Hyperallergic’s coming nicely into its own. Speaking of which: This is the final call for our birthday party tomorrow at the Red Pavilion in Brooklyn. As a fellow procrastinator, no judgment that you’re getting tickets so late. As an editor — deadline’s coming up soon. Pillow Princess will be DJing; DiDi Opulence, Amygdala, Kekoa Is, Felicia Oh, Kanika, and Junior Mintt will be performing; and Tanoreen will be catering. Get your tickets here. This week, Hadley Suter — who’s literally writing a book on Stendhal — reviews Nan Goldin’s show around the titular syndrome at Gagosian. Our October guide features Arshile Gorky, who painted “the shit out of art history,” and Bernice Bing, whom history didn’t know what to do with, as Hrag Vartanian puts it. And Natalie Haddad — I kid you not — makes dirt seem fascinating. Elsewhere, John Yau meditates on an artist who’s obsessed with the impossible, Douglas Markowitz reviews a documentary that emphasizes slowness in activism, and I write on an
exhibition that accomplished the rare feat of making me look at this city with fresh eyes. — Lisa Yin Zhang, Associate Editor

No Bodies brings together works by more than 30 contemporary artists who use clothing to play with assumptions about materiality and cultural identity, and as a vehicle for social and political activism. Their works unravel our presumptions about clothing, the stories it can carry, and the psychological weight it can bear.
