CLANCCO Obtains Email Correspondence Between MASS MoCA and Büchel

CLANCCO has just obtained the official court documents containing MASS MoCA’s affirmative defenses as well as email correspondence between the Museum’s director, Joseph Thompson, and the artist Christoph Büchel.

Due to the size of the digital files, CLANCCO is unable to post the 132-page PDF document here, but would be more than happy to provide them to any person and/or institution wishing to read them.

The affirmative defenses can be read beginning on page 14, and the 20 Exhibits containing the email correspondence, financial breakdowns, and other documents begin on page 21.
