Beili Liu’s installation The Mending Project consists of hundreds of Chinese scissors suspended from the ceiling, pointing downwards. “The hovering, massive cloud of scissors alludes to distant fear, looming violence and worrisome uncertainty. The performer sits beneath the countless sharp blades of the scissors, and performs an on-going simple task of mending.” And now, this week’s links!

Great post. I personally wish flash participant 2010 was the normal as I loathe all of the new updates. How do you believe the new variations of flash player evaluate to flash participant 2010? I was studying about Flash Player 2010 and definately remains my preference.
