[ENSAPC] Students want to choose their next director


| documentations

Great initiative by art students at ENSAPC ! đź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź
Basically they are asking to be part of the decision process to choose their next director. And they are so right !!
Repost ! Help them !

IT WOULD SEEM THAT NO ONE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE US, THE STUDENTS, WITH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

Since Monday 01.07.2019, Sylvain Lizon has officially taken up his duties as Director at Villa Arson. To our knowledge, we have no director so far. Sylvain Lizon is holding his farewell drink at the end of the general meeting on January 29. For the moment, students are not invited to attend.

A job description was written and published on the Public Service website, then sent to teachers and administration. Students, on the other hand, have never been consulted. Its content and lexicon used (technocratic and managerial) is unacceptable. At no time is the need for student involvement in the school’s orientations (artistic, pedagogical, theoretical, political) mentioned. This document is emblematic of the verticality of hierarchical structures that excludes students.

WE WANT STUDENTS TO BE PLACED AT THE HEART OF RECRUITMENT PROCEDURES FOR THE NEXT HEADMASTER OF OUR SCHOOL.

WE OPPOSE THE CURRENT RECRUITMENT PROCESS. IF IT REMAINS AS IT IS, THE NEXT ENSAPC DIRECTION WILL NOT BE OUR DIRECTION.

WE CALL FOR THE MOBILIZATION AND AWAKENING OF EVERYONE FOR THE COMING MONTHS.

    Last week, in my Instagram stories, ads for the newest Balenciaga store on Sloane Street (London), were relentlessly/annoyingly popping up. In one of the pictures of the interior design (empty of any items) was, in a corner, a figure – seemingly not so comfortable in the position they were adopting –. Without really thinking about … Anne Imhof, Sex, 2019—BMW Tate Live Exhibition

    Silence is Violence

    | Artists and cultural workers in Sweden in solidarity with Black Lives Matter

    Two weeks ago, Temi Odumosu, a Sweden-based academic posed the question: Do we have the courage to address Black Lives Matter and to confront the prevalence of racism in Nordic art life? [1] The pronounced silence from Sweden’s art institutions would seem to answer with a resounding “no.” What is this institutional quietness? Do these institutions, art … Silence is Violence

    GREETINGS

    To all those who wish to strengthen their vertical and authoritarian power they exercise only to serve socially and culturally conservative and reactionary interests, to all spokespersons trying to discredit dissident voices: Do not forget you are dealing with a crowd of ultra-precarized art agents who have nothing more to lose and who, moreover, have no … GREETINGS
