News Flash: MASS MoCA Removes the Büchel Remains UPDATED

This just in from MASS MoCA:
MASS MoCA announced today that it has begun removing materials gathered for “Training Ground for Democracy” and will not permit the public to enter the planned installation which was cancelled on May 21, 2007….
After giving careful deliberation to the interests of many constituents, including the artist’s own views, and factoring in the limited time window available given our normal exhibition cycle—together with other considerations both logistical and philosophical—we have decided to begin removing the materials immediately without placing them on public display. We are eager to return to our core mission to serve as a experimental platform for art-making, and we look forward to commencing work immediately on the previously announced installation by Jenny Holzer, “Projections,” which will open Nov. 17, 2007.
The museum announced today that in conjunction with the Clark Art Institute, it would co-host a symposium devoted to the issues raised by this case. The symposium will be held later this fall.
Will Christoph Büchel attend?
UPDATE: Here’s MASS MoCA’s complete statment.
