how come most group projects in my art school are organized and managed by women only? admin, communication, building and dismantling are part of an exhibition just as much as submitting an artwork.

how can an art school call itself progressive while teaching their students that it's okay to lean back while women and queers do all the work?

HAU4, 27 February -3 April 2022

A cooperation between weißensee kunsthochschule berlin and HAU Hebbel am Ufer.

The “Spatial Strategies” course at the Weißensee School of Art is concerned with artistic practice in urban space. Prof. Nasan Tur and Dr. Marianna Liosi have used the socio-political experiences under difficult circumstances, such as the pandemic, to develop a seminar series that considers digital space as part of the public sphere. In light of the capitalist structures of the internet, they ask whether and how artistic practices can overcome economic, gender and infrastructural barriers. What role does the audience play in this? What does artistic work in digital space mean if we assume that the public needs individual and collective care?

The individual or collective works presented at HAU4 take up a wide range of current questions. They are about personal and communal vulnerability as a trigger for social change, the potential and limits of digital space in addressing individual and societal memory and loss, the deconstruction of care within hierarchical structures, and the democratic accessibility and ecological sustainability of digital infrastructures. The proposed projects aim to reflect on the political transformations we can initiate in the public sphere in order to contribute to its permanent change.

Within the framework of the five-month cooperation, project ideas have emerged that the students present on the research platform HAU4. They show performances, text, video and sound material as well as social media interventions.

I'm not the biggest fan of her work but I can appreciate the way she explores design through abstraction and line.

Die Lehrenden an meiner Hochschule spekulierten laut Aussage studentischer Prüfungshelfer:innen in der Aufnahmeprüfung darüber, ob eine Bewerberin autistisch sein könnte, ohne dass diese mit einem Wort Autismus erwähnt hat. Weil Professorin 1 sich schoneinmal um einen autistischen Studenten (P) "gekümmert" hat, erklärt Professor 2 sich diesmal bereit, die Betreuung zu übernehmen, sollte die Studentin angenommen werden. Alle wollen sie dabei haben, denn der letzte Autist, (Student P) war "das beste, was die Hochschule bisher hervorgebracht hat".

Währenddessen sind mindestens 3 autistische Studierende eingeschrieben, die genau 0 Extra-Unterstützung erfahren.

S1: Ist kurz vor dem Abschluss und hat trotz mehrerer Anfragen an Studienberatung, Gleichstellungsbeauftragte und ihre Professorin nie Unterstützung erhalten. Bei Gruppenprojekten wird sie regelmäßig mit Verantwortung überfrachtet. Andere Studierende verhalten sich teils herablassend, teils grenzüberschreitend ihr gegenüber, ohne dass jemand einschreitet oder ihre Bedenken ernst nimmt. S1 hat einen sexualisierten Übergriff auf dem Campus erlebt.

S2: Ist in der Mitte seines Studiums, wurde von anderen Studenten aus seinem ersten Atelierplatz rausgeekelt und hat sich daraufhin ein halbes Jahr nicht an die Hochschule getraut. Sehr verunsichert und überfordert.

S3: Ist am Anfang ihres Studiums und rutscht gerade in eine Drogensucht ab.

Mit dem Vorzeigestudenten P habe ich 3 Semester das Atelier geteilt. Dadurch weiß ich, dass seine Mutter ihn regelmäßig besucht und sehr unterstützt hat. Sein Erfolg ist keineswegs allein der Hochschule bzw. der Professorin zu verdanken. S1, S2 und S3 hatten mindestens genauso viel Potential wie er. S1 erhielt sogar ein Stipendium, aber heute ist sie überlastet und frustriert.

Als autistische flinta fühle ich mich hier einfach nur verarscht. Was ist los in Weißensee?
