Furrowed brows and gritted teeth over at London's Tate Modern museum. Just a few days after opening Chinese artist Ai Weiwei's marvellous installation - named simply Sunflower Seeds - has been closed down due to health concerns.
Only a short time after the one hundred million sunflower seeds made from porcelain, each one hand-painted, were installed in the museum's Turbine Hall, curators began to notice ceramic dust (which is extremely unhealthy when breathed in) hovering over the work.
