Students call for a contemporary teaching

UdK Berlin: Tag der Offenen Tür blockiert 

- Studierende fordern eine zeitgemäße Lehre an der Universität der Künste

Der Rundgang der Universität der Künste Berlin gewährt als Tag der Offenen Tür jährlich über

zehntausend Interessierten einen Einblick in die Arbeit und das Studium an Deutschlands größter

Kunsthochschule. Yet while on 16.07.2009 President Prof. Martin Rennert the tour

solemnly opened in the courtyard, students barricaded the main entrance with gates

and banners. Interior and exterior were bunched up crowds. Hereby

students brought their protest loudly against incomprehensible appeal to the

College of Fine Arts expressed. The students demand the recognition of

student vote, and the recognition of the decision of the Appeals Commission for the

internationally renowned artist Dr. Hito Steyerl the professor. Although active in solidarity with a

quarter of the student body, the outcome of the case even after

more votes in the Faculty Council is uncertain. It remains to be seen whether the previously not represented

film / video is finally with the tender conditions

qualified professor occupied.

The current domestic political situation at the University of the Arts in 2006, has been critically discussed in the media

. At that time, the students boycotted the Rundgang mit der Aktion „Außer Haus,“

um gegen den Weggang der Professoren Stan Douglas, Daniel Richter und Tony Cragg zu

protestieren. Seitdem scheint sich an der Fakultät Bildende Kunst nicht viel geändert zu haben.

Nach wie vor wird die Stimme der Studenten ignoriert und entgegen deren Vorstellung einer

zeitgemäßen Lehre gehandelt. An der UdK sind Lehrveranstaltungen zu politischen und

theoretischen Themen wie postkolonialer Kritik, Gender Studies, internationaler Feminismus,

Film/Video nicht vorhanden oder unterrepräsentiert.

The former Video class by Stan Douglas has to get more than three years without a permanent professor

and is now fighting on the side of the Library Advisory Council Visual Arts and the

autonomous student organization Interflugs for the appointment of Hito Steyerl. Your

work as a filmmaker and author in the fields of essayist documentary,

postcolonial criticism, feminism and cultural globalization - between film

and visual arts as well as theory and practice. This is content that the Teaching offers the

missing and the Arts of the students wanted to be. Under the guise of bureaucratic processes

the interests of students, however, ignored for years.

Karoline Kreissl, spokeswoman for the Student Council University of the Arts explains:

"As long as voting rights in committees, not all groups (professors, students, middle part,

administration) equally represented , it can happen again and again that

advertised Professuren nicht besetzt werden können, weil es innerhalb der

ProfessorInnenschaft zu Grabenkämpfen kommt. Die Schuld liegt bei den ProfessorInnen!"

Die Blockade der Offenen Tür führte zu einem Termin der Studierenden mit dem Präsidenten zu

einer Verhandlung am 24. Juli. Nun steht Prof. Martin Rennert unter Handlungsdruck, zwischen

den Forderungen der Studierenden und denen des Fakultätsrats zu vermitteln. Sollte es zu keinen

verbindlichen Ergebnissen kommen, sind die Studierenden bereit, weitere Aktionen follow zu

lassen. There Protest gegen das als nichtnachvollziehbare Berufungsverfahren beginnt eine

unvorhersehbare Eigendynamik zu entwickeln.

the Arts - Open House Day blocked. Students demand a contemporary art education.

Pressmeddelande

From the Students of the Faculty of Fine Arts to UDK Berlin, 22.07.2009

Each year, Open House Day at the Berlin University of Arts provides a glimpse of work and education inside Germany´s largest art school for about 10.000 people. But while the university chairman Martin Rennert was inaugurating this year's show on Jul 16th in the school courtyard, students blocked the main entrance with fences and banners. The students were protesting against an obscure appointment procedure for an open professorship in New Media at the Faculty of Fine Arts, demanding the recognition of the student vote as well as the implementation of the decision of the appointments committee for the internationally renown artist  Hito Steyerl as professor.

While more than 25% of students actively support these claims, the outcome of the proceedings is unclear even after several rounds of voting in the faculty board. It remains to be seen whether the hitherto unrepresented area of film and video will be filled with a qualified professor.

The political situation at the UdK already fell under critical media scrutiny in 2006. Back then, the students boycotted Open Day with the campaign „Ausser Haus“ (Outdoors) to protest the resignation of professors Stan Douglas, Daniel Richter and Tony Cragg. Since then, nothing seems to have changed inside the faculty, which continues to ignore the students' input into their own education.

The former video class of Stan Douglas has been without a tenured professor for more than 3 years and is now campaigning alongside student representatives of the Fine Arts faculty and the autonomous student body Interflugs for the appointment of Hito Steyerl. Her work as filmmaker and author in the area of essay film, postcolonial theory, feminism and cultural globalisation  addresses precisely those topics missing from the course offerings at UdK that the students want. Under the pretext of administrative proceedings, their interests have consistently been ignored.

Karoline Kreissl, speaker of the General Student Union comments:

"As long as the votes of different groups (professors, students and mid-level faculty) are distributed unequally within university panels, the appointment of professors can be blocked by factional squabbles among the faculty. The blame lies with the professors."

The blockade of Open House Day led to an appointment  between the university chairman and students on Jul 24th. Now, Martin Rennert is called upon to mediate between the claims of students and the faculty board. If this does not produce binding results, the students are ready to pursue further actions.
