Sunflowers a No-Go

Oops. Too much fun was being had by visitors to the Ai Wei Wei exhibition. (See entry below). The dust was deemed unhealthy. When I was there, people were really gouging into the 100million seeds.  Pity though. It's off limits now. So much for interactive art for the masses.

Ai Wei Wei - Sunflower





"I always think art is a tool to set up new questions"
'Sunflowers' officially opens today in the turbine hall, Tate Modern. I loved the simplicity.

Sunflowers are symbols of the chinese during the Cultural Revolution, Mao was the sun.
