BLOCKADE OF TOUR - 16 July 2009

While the Arts President Prof. Martin Rennert in the garden officially opened the tour, the students blocking the main entrance for an hour. No one can enter, no one can out. With banners, leaflets and chanting ( who is the uni, if not us? ), the "09-stool visitors" on a suspicious appeals resolved.

WHOM IS THE UNIVERSITY?

16:07:09

We protest against the current study conditions at the University of the Arts!

Our class (the former class of Stan Douglas) has for over three years

no regular professor. The group of professors in the

College of Fine Arts University of the Arts has appointed because of internal disputes,

mundane power struggles and inability to act, no new

professor to the photographic, video and animation. In the

past few years, thanks to the commitment of students, that

each semester a visiting professor was used.

Now it is sufficient: the procedure for filling the post will not be re

finalized. University of the Arts has reached a further delay,

because none of the faculty of the proposed candidates accepted

added. Our professor, Dr. Hito Steyerl that the class has cared for well over a year

was proposed by the Appeal Committee,

but not in the faculty adopted. Das stinkt nach Vetternwirtschaft

und einer groben Missachtung der Bedürfnisse und Rechte der Studierenden.

Dr. Hito Steyerl war die erste der GastprofessorInnen, die wieder eine profunde

Lehre in die Atelierklasse gebracht hat. Die überwiegende Anzahl der im

Bereich Fotografie und Video arbeitenden Studierenden als auch die Klasse

selbst, sowie in anderen Bereichen arbeitende Studierende bis hin zu

Professoren und Werkstattleitern haben sich ausdrücklich für den Verbleib von

Hito Steyerl expressed as a professor.

Our demand is completely ignored by the University of the Arts.

means specifically the non-occupation of the Chair at least two other

semester without regular care. The focus on New Media in

Faculty Fine Arts at the University is and will remain under-represented.

Ex-Steyerl class and supporters

Wir akzeptieren eure Scheisse nicht!

Auch nicht eure machistische Vetternwirtschaft!

Für eine kontinuierliche und selbstbestimmte Lehre!

Wer ist die Uni, wenn nicht wir?
