They were under pressure to finally show somebody from the region instead of JUST their typical "job-enhancing" displays of top-o-the-pops Documenta stars etc. Anyway, they found this guy who was young enough and doing rather clearly curator-correct derived installations. So certain curators helped "coach" him on what to do and so on and then showed him. Custom-made consensus curator art. He can make some very amusing and fun "crawl-through" junk installations, with no meaning or depth of course, but entertaining such as he did at Hauser and Wirth, but yes he's a diva and a cryogenically-created curator-designed entity.

I mean, it seems at this point that Büchel is pretty clearly a jackass, whereas Kelley seems like a good guy.

That's this story times about 10 million. Now they have to clear out a football field of Buchel's crap. I've stayed without an opinion until today when he sent a reporter at the Boston Globe some wisecrack about calling it the MASS CoMA. Buchel was a complete diva and got everything he wanted and MASS MoCA is out $600,000, and he's making snide jokes. Part of the problem is that these people had no real contract, considering how much money and uncertainty was on the table. Better paperwork could have avoided the whole mess.
