Artefact 2013 - STUK Leuven

Lee Mingwei - The mending project. The Mending Project (2009-2013) is an interactive conceptual installation in which Lee Mingwei (TW) uses very simple elements — thread, color, sewing — as points of departure for gaining insights into the relationships between self, other and immediate surroundings. It also constitutes an act of sharing between the visitor and a stranger.

    @adash : It's a bunch of spools with thread on them mounted on the wall. People could bring in damaged clothing, and the artist would fix them using one one the different threads. Thing is, your clothing remained part of the installation until the end of the exhibit, looked pretty cool near the end :)
