The last temptation: the art of Ken + Julia Yonetani (2.0/5)

Nine chandeliers of uranium glass (from a set of 31 representing nuclear-powered nations) and a nine-metre banquet table made of salt.  Admirable though the craftwork in both is, the power of their environmental messages is questionable.  The chandeliers miss their twenty-two brethren and the gallery is neither dark nor isolated enough for their glow to be sinister.  The banquet could be in marble and thereby is too pure and hard to access.
