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.

100 million? hand painted? How old is the artist now?
