Curators at the Museum of Modern Art in New York have been forced to kill one of their exhibits. The artwork - which was a tiny, living 'leather' jacket made out of mouse stem cells - had started to grow out of control.



Paola Antonelli, head of MoMA’s architecture and design department and curator of the show, says she had to make the decision to turn off the life-support system for the work, basically “killing” it.



Ms Antonelli says the jacket “started growing, growing, growing until it became too big. And [the artists] were back in Australia, so I had to make the decision to kill it. And you know what? I felt I could not make that decision. I’ve always been pro-choice and all of a sudden I’m here not sleeping at night about killing a coat...That thing was never alive before it was grown.” - The Art Newspaper
