MASS MoCA at Art Basel Miami


For those that didn’t get to see Christoph Büchel’s installation, “Training Ground for Democracy” at MASS MoCA, there was a chance last week in Miami; or at least a version of it. At Hauser & Wirth’s booth Büchel installed his “Training Ground for Training Ground for Democracy,” a capsule version of the unfinished MASS MoCA artwork, with a trash-filled alley leading to a room cluttered with voting booths and children’s drawings.

For those interested in reading a bit about the legal and acrimonious debate between Büchel and the Museum’s director, Joe Thompson, the Miami Beach Convention Center was home to the “decidedly less sensual array of documents from the harrowing legal battle between the artist Christoph Büchel and Mass MoCA.”

According to The New York Times,

“Mr. Büchel has the last word.”
