In Feng Feng's Shin Brace, an exhibit at the First Guangzhou Triennial, a photograph of a human leg?scaled up to fill an entire wall?is shown wrapped in a wicked metal apparatus that seems part medical, part torture device.

And I have no doubt that next year when Yale stops forcing its early admits to attend, all of them will still choose Yale as their first choice—I mean...
