I think Ai Weiwei’s offering in the Tate Turbine Hall may be my favourite so far. The radical Chinese artist has filled the hall with none other than sunflower seeds – or rather, porcelain replicas of them (so no, they ain’t edible). 150 tonnes were shipped into the huge hall – amounting to 100 million ‘seeds’ in total, each one painstakingly handmade.
