Often, Bartons' semi-abstract work features heads emerging from a common figure and flowering into competing profiles; others contain multiple figures brought into such close contact that the individual forms integrate themselves into a larger wholeness; her bisected busts often make visible their equally artful underlying layers, as if they're ancient sculptures exposed like mannequins in a biology lab.
In a large single room of David Zwirner's 19th street gallery, she's arranged nine concrete sculptures; two discrete groups of mannequins, one arranged around a living room set; a 10-foot tower of MDF (medium-density fiberboard) boxes and paint drips; and two more towers covered in mirror foil, like disco retreads of the old World Trade Center.
"He absolutely loved doing exhibits like this; it wasn't so much work to him as a little bit of extra fun on top of his collections," Mr. Wilson said, adding that, to fit the plastic mannequins used for the show, Mr. Alaïa remade each garment in an elongated silhouette and then fit them all to the displays.
The first exhibition room, for example, is set up like the backstage of a fashion show, full of styling equipment, glass cases with wigs that reveal step-by-step techniques for different techniques, and canned chatter on the soundtrack; the results are then shown on mannequins with gravity-defying styles decked out in 1990s Vivienne Westwood.
Curated by Hamish Bowles, international editor at large at American Vogue, and with creative direction and design by Patrick Kinmonth and Antonio Monfreda, the exhibition will delve into Chatsworth's rich sartorial heritage, using the lives of its best-known inhabitants and their glamorous guests as mannequins on which to hang stories of the wider history of the house.
Laurie has been preparing to take on her oppressor, Michael Myers for most of her life, and it's her determined, though reluctant preparedness — her fully loaded arsenal, her secret panic room stocked with food and supplies, her yard littered with shot-up mannequins — that is indicative of a woman tired of being found unawares by violence, finally ready to bury her demon.
In a move that may have unexpected implications for the wider world of couture, in 2014, Mr. Ronze visited a fashion trade show outside Paris and came across a display of mannequins based on 3-D scans of the human body, produced by Alvanon, the global apparel business consultancy that normally makes fit models for brands like Diesel, Levi's and Nike.
Shout Your Abortion, the book and hashtag founded by Amelia Bonow, for example, aims to normalize the procedure through sharing abortion stories, and Viva Ruiz's "Thank God For Abortion" (2019) subverts religious attacks on reproductive rights with clothing, banners, riot gear, and ornately decorated mannequins emblazoned with religious imagery and the words "Thank God for Abortion" in English and Spanish.
In replica hospital rooms fitted with bed-bound mannequins programmed to mimic conditions like strokes and seizures, and that can bleed, blink and give birth (there's even a realistic placenta), students get "deliberate practice," said Robert Morgan, director of the Greenville Health Care Simulation Center in South Carolina, which is used by the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Greenville and Clemson University School of Nursing.
For a few brief moments, Bentley, 40, poked his head out over one of the mannequins dressed in his clothes, delivered a kiss to his hand on his well-worn guitar, and saluted his pilot's uniform from the Drunk on a Plane video – and then he left his stunned audience to head off to an autograph session in the museum lobby for 100 fans lucky enough to snag a free ticket.
The Luminar system, operated by CTO and cofounder Jason Eichenholz, clearly portrayed: a bicyclist weaving in and out of the road, at 100 meters and further away; a small pigeon that suddenly scurried about 40 meters in front of their car; and they clearly showed the human form of the mannequins, even those dressed in dark garb; as well as the black-painted canvas at the end of the pier.
The result is a politically incorrect fever dream that involves dwarf sidekicks, Ms. Kodar in "redface" as a Native American woman, at least one orgy, a drive-in theater, '70s-era views of women (disposable) and inclusion (nonexistent), the mutilation of a doll, a car crash, mannequins, an ice cube, lanterns, rifles and a giant phallus built with chicken wire and perched on a sand dune, among other imagery.
When my father brought the mannequins into his bedroom, he arranged them as a couple: the female lounging in a beige armchair that matched her trench coat, her pale head obscured by a purple wig that had been trimmed into a French bob, and the male standing by the window in a blue pinstripe suit with the corner of a yellow silk kerchief jutting from its breast pocket.
It's an asylum of architecture and endless sustainability: handmade papier-mâché, recycled from the office's paper waste, line the walls; most of the furniture is made of recycled materials, including reclaimed timber as sculptural plinths, foam, and vintage hand selected furniture; mannequins are made from a bioplastic material composed of 72% sugarcane derivative (which enables for significant reduction of Co2 emissions) — all this and more reflect the brand's philosophy to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Displayed on a series of alabaster mannequins are the red carpet dazzlers that attest to her relevance: the cabbage rose-patterned gown worn by Lucy Liu at the 2013 Golden Globes; the red and black bustled faille Taylor Swift wore to the same event the following year; and the blush-tone slip of a dress, its hemline pooling on the floor, that Lady Gaga wore at the 2016 Producers Guild of America Awards.
Images from her 2014 photographic series, "Lineups," in which the artist is styled to blend seamlessly with groupings of glamorous female mannequins, are on view in the group show "Converging Voices: Gender and Identity" at the Hofstra University Museum in Hempstead, N.Y. "This body of work was my first inclination to realizing that I wanted to be seen as a woman," said Ms. Gutierrez, who is now comfortable using the female pronoun.
Or maybe, just maybe, that's how you engineer interesting stories for television and movies: Different people, different perspectives (you know ... strangers have their lives taped ... to find out what happens ... when people stop being polite ... and start getting real.) Here's how not to do it, though: 32 consecutive seasons of the blandest, most forgettable mannequins and womannequins that middling America has to offer, people about as appealing and memorable as a drunken revolving sushi bar meal at closing time.
