Funny Birthday Discretions

occupation of the Munich Art Academy

A Viennese Committee met yesterday to pass a traveling banner in Munich, which symbolically - and then real - the verve of the Austrian protest movement and Unibesetzer should roll over. After a solidarity rally in front of the Munich Academy of Fine Arts (AdBK) and Wiener greetings to all those present agreed that this too! Occupy!


The plenum, which met in the meeting room of akbk decided a spontaneous demonstration in the early evening, and a party and public kitchens. Towards evening cavorting in the building estimated 300 squatters. In many working groups to maintain the occupation has been organized. In particular, the formation of the Munich group strikes last summer (SoS) is heavily involved in the occupation, and fancy - a success of the mobilization of labor and a broadening of the protest basis - with the main auditorium of the LMU.
The participation of the Akadmiestudenten itself is negligible in the project, the bulk of the artist is unfortunately completely non-political, and apparently trapped in an individualistic, narcissistic, hedonistic milieu mentality - they should us the next few days / weeks not a better instruct and show but have ability to solidarity.


The faculty chair tolerated in the remainder of the cast, and many professors already signed declarations of solidarity. Of the two courses offered "free art" and "teaching" has been modularized only the latter;
It goes against the modularity of free art classes, the professors and administration do not (yet), together with the student front,
extent an exemplary movement . On the other hand, one must also respect make the admiration of such a cooperative Bureau realized that the Academy are not in such a competitive relationship as the universities to each other, since in addition to Munich only Nuremberg is an art academy, therefore, no "academy-Bayern eV "or other nonsense is required. The AdBK is probably without doubt a prestigious institution, a traditional Lair of the Muses and thus an important cultural location factor, from the perspective of the rulers.
this advantage must be put to good use, this seems a good starting point for further actions, demands, and a broadening of the protest movement.
