I'm sure that whatever the outcome of this meltdown artists would have no qualms showing at MoCA, whereas I doubt we'll see any new Büchel installations in the US after other curators take the artists unreliable actions into account. Shoving airline fuselages into warehouse spaces sounds great- not so practical in reality. Give me Vito Acconci any day- his only demand was a cheeseburger when I helped install his work years ago.

I agree with Ken Johnson I wouldn't have it!!
