Yonkers, NY | Curator-Led Tour of ‘No Bodies: Clothing as Disruptor’ at the Hudson River Museum

Join us in Westchester County for a tour of No Bodies: Clothing as Disruptor with exhibition curator and ArtTable member Alva Greenberg. Following our exclusive tour, the Hudson River Museum will graciously host a reception for attendees. Our heartfelt thanks to Alva Greenberg; Laura Vookles, Chair of the Curatorial Department at the Hudson River Museum and Board Member of ArtTable; and Masha Turchinsky, Director and CEO of the Hudson River Museum and former Board Member of ArtTable for organizing this program.

About the exhibtition: “Clothing conveys impressions of social background, economic status, and ethnicity. Much like physical features, it serves as a powerful tool for self-expression and understanding others. Our inclination to categorize people based on their attire also shapes our reactions to them. How often do we subconsciously assign meanings to clothing that may not truly represent the wearer?

The altered and uninhabited clothing in No Bodies disrupts our automatic responses by challenging perceptions of materiality, cultural identity, relationships, political beliefs, and portraiture itself. Free from physicality, these works compel us to confront our assumptions, as well as the ever-growing societal tendency to compartmentalize people, behavior, and social media that increasingly rules our thinking. What does it mean to deconstruct a garment by unraveling it, burning it, or transforming it into another material? What does clothing symbolize when there never was, or will be, a body inside?”
