Those 100 Million Sunflower Seeds Are Being Removed

Remember that installation of 100 million meticulously hand-painted ceramic sunflower seeds that just opened a few days ago at the Tate Modern? It turns out they’re giving off “noxious ceramic dust” and now they all have to be removed. Whoops.

No word yet on when or if the exhibition might reopen. [HipHopCube via BoingBoing]

    It is so bad that nobody discovers this until now. What about the Chinese people who worked tirelessly on these for two years? I bet nobody will ever tell them.
