The Art of
Form(s)

I
returned from a lovely
trip to Ohio where
we hosted our annual CitySCENE
Columbus event.
The beautiful city, amazing
weather and a spectacular
turnout for our event made
for a successful trip. But the
journey home was unlike any
I have yet to experience.
At the conclusion of the
CitySCENE event, our presenting sponsor, Bernstein
Display, alerted us that they
would not be taking their
mannequins home with
them to New York. In fact,
they started telling party
attendees that the displays
were free for the taking.
Insert visual of excited
guests running around
the room "Supermarket
Sweep"-style, hauling fullbody mannequins out the
door to their cars en masse.
There were cat and dog forms that easily found
new homes, and a barrage of fabric busts that left
the event stuffed in oversized purses. Needless to
say, our guests left with more than they came with!
I did not escape said mannequin raid. In fact,
I walked out with three pieces, despite knowing I
had to get them on a flight the following evening.
(The Uber ride home was quite entertaining, as my
coworkers and I stuffed our respective mannequin
heads into the trunk of the car.)

Fast-forward to the following afternoon, and I
am walking into the Columbus airport with a blue
mannequin head buried in my suitcase (here's
hoping for no TSA bag check on this flight), and
holding an articulated mannequin and green bust
form, amid trying to juggle my purse, phone and
carry-on. Oh, and with an injured right hand.
I got some looks.
Particularly when you add my coworker walking beside me with her own colorful lot of forms.

We got a full entourage of
bystanders as my articulated
form went through the security screening (it looked like
I was trying to send a baby
through the x-ray monitor,
no joke).
Everyone leaving that
event with a form under
his or her arm had the face
of someone who had just
found buried treasure. And
while many stated they were
excited about their new office décor pieces, more than
one person told me exactly
where the mannequin was
going to be placed in their
studio-or living room. One
attendee said, very matterof-factly: "Why wouldn't I
take it? It's art."
I can't attest for the impression I made with those
Columbus travelers as I
traipsed through the airport
with my colorful dummies in
tow, but I can confidently say
that the new art pieces in my office look awesome.
Thanks Bernstein!
