The Times of London reported that 15 people suffered minor injuries in the first eight weeks after “Shibboleth” opened in October in the Turbine Hall, Tate Modern’s vast signature space. The newspaper cited museum records it obtained in a search under Britain’s Freedom of Information Act. The work will be on view until April 6. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B729C1FE-5A42-4865-9F48-AB084F7AF43C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
