Human Rights Watch produced a report condemning the labor situation in Abu Dhabi for the construction of a series of museums, including a new Guggenheim.
As a result of that report, over 100 artists signed on to boycott the museum, refusing to ever have their works displayed there.
Things got nastier, and nastier.
The project is now "on hold" (Gulf speak for cancelled).
If Qatar doesn't take the Human Rights Watch report seriously, heaven knows what the outcome may be. But FIFA switching venues isn't out of the question.
