[ENSAPC] Students want to choose their next director


| documentations

Great initiative by art students at ENSAPC ! 👏👏👏
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.

    Anne Imhof, Sex, 2019—BMW Tate Live Exhibition

    | lucretia-b-rustin (Cédric Fauq)

    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

    This text is a response to the “Extra-Ordinaire Manifesto” whose publication accompanied the opening in Brussels of the Extra-Ordinaire boutique founded by fashion designer and “exoticism lover” Jean-Paul Lespagnard, in October 2019. M. Lespagnard, when I came across your manifesto, I was lost for words. Where do I even begin? I asked myself. But it was … Burn Manifesto

    On the question of anonymity

    | documentations

    Anonymity is a strategy used by many authors to express themselves freely on certain issues deemed subversive by the authorities or a given circle (denunciation of abuses of power, situations of violence emanating from institutions and dominant people, hate speech, compromising relationships, etc.). Anonymity is used to guarantee freedom of speech and minimise the risk … On the question of anonymity
