The Absurd Mannequin Project

THE ABSURD MANNEQUIN PROJECT
You’re about to claim one of just 12 spots in The Absurd Mannequin Project.

Your $20 registration reserves one wooden mannequin for you to transform in whatever wonderfully weird direction you want to take it.
- Mannequin pick-up: October 4
- Public display/scavenger hunt: Planned for the second week of November
There are just a few important things to know before you make it official.

Ready? Let’s get absurd.

GOT AN IDEA BREWING?
Do you already have an idea brewing?
Want to tell us what you’re thinking?
Totally optional. A half-formed idea, strange little vision, or complete nonsense is welcome.
THE VERY IMPORTANT MANNEQUIN PART
The mannequin is borrowed and needs to come back to us as its original little naked wooden self. Build on it, around it, for it, worn by it, held by it, or attached to it. Please do not paint directly on the wood, use permanent glue, drill, carve, burn, cut, or use anything that leaves permanent damage or residue. If the mannequin is damaged, altered, or returned in a condition that requires repair or replacement, you may be responsible for the reasonable cost to mend or replace it.
I understand the mannequin is borrowed, must be returned without damage, and I may be responsible for repair or replacement costs if it is damaged.
A FEW PLAYGROUND RULES
Make it funny. Beautiful. Strange. Thoughtful. Ridiculous. Whatever absurdity looks like to you. Because the finished pieces will be displayed publicly, they need to be sturdy and safe. Please avoid sharp edges, hazardous or perishable materials, leaks, heavy shedding, or anything that could damage a display space. Beyond that? Please get weird.
I understand my finished piece must be safe, sturdy, and appropriate for public display.
YOUR WORK OUT IN THE WORLD
My finished piece will be publicly displayed as part of The Absurd Mannequin Project.
Inspire Play Collective may photograph and film my finished piece and use those images to share and promote this project.
Visitors, participating businesses, and members of the public may photograph or share the artwork while it is displayed.
Inspire Play Collective and display partners will take reasonable care of the work, but public display carries normal risk of wear, accidental damage, or loss.
ONE LAST EXTREMELY IMPORTANT QUESTION
How prepared are you to make something completely unnecessary?
