After the bomb squad was called in on his PETA bear statue, police continue taking an interest in the life-like sculptures of Mark Jenkins. According to the Winston-Salem Journal, police attempted to rescue a female figure laying on top a billboard, only to climb up and discover it was just a mannequin, part of “Sleepers,” the street artist’s outdoor exhibition sponsored by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. In hopes that Jenkins’ installations might last longer than 20 minutes, the museum promised to warn police before dumping any more bodies in public.
