Woman Embarks On A Year-Long Experiment Of Purposely Being Rejected 1,000 Times

A woman named Gabriella Carr attempted to dispel her fears about rejection by throwing herself headfirst into a constant stream of “nos.” Through a year-long experiment, Carr hopes to discover the power of facing rejection instead of fearing it. Rejection is something that most people try to avoid at all costs. We’re constantly trying to play it safe so we don’t have to face disappointment when things don’t work out the way we might’ve wanted. However, whether it’s your love life or professional endeavors, rejection is inevitable, and avoiding it only makes these learning experiences harder to handle. A woman embarks on a year-long experiment of purposely being rejected 1,000 times. “I’ve been rejected 1,000 times. Hopefully, what I’ll be saying after a few months,” Carr began in her TikTok video about her experiment. “You know anything about me? It’s that I love chasing dreams. All the dreams I’m chasing are full of nos. They can be so discouraging.” Carr explained that she’s trying to push through that feeling. In her experiment, she’s carrying around …

High Line Art, the Cecilia Alemani–curated enterprise the programs and commissions public artworks for the reimagined elevated-train-track park in New York, announced its next season, to start in the spring and continue (in most cases) for around a year. In March, the High Line Billboard—a working billboard rising from the ground on 18th Street—will be adorned with Spring Cleaning (2026) by Katherine Bernhardt, whose wild colors and animated brushwork rendered a still life comprising a riotous lineup of cleaning products and domestic goods. Related Articles Starting in April, the landscaped expanse of the High Line park stretching from Gansevoort Street (near the Whitney Museum of American Art) and 34th Street on Manhattan’s west side, will play home to three large-scale commissions. Patricia Ayres will present an installation of sculptures that “resemble a patchworked-cadaver version of a dress form,” per a press release, in ways that reference the New York–based artist’s “upbringing in the Catholic church, women’s fashion standards, and the carceral system.” Ximena Garrido-Lecca, who splits her time between Mexico City and Lima, Peru, will …
