英國(guó)皇家藝術(shù)學(xué)院(Royal College of Art)作為連續(xù)多年QS排名全球第一的藝術(shù)類院校,尤其是在疫情大爆發(fā)的2020,今年的畢業(yè)展也是收到了相當(dāng)多的關(guān)注。
跟著重合君一起來逛一逛眾多展品中最搶眼也是最憤青的一件作品,來自傳播學(xué)院視覺傳達(dá)專業(yè)Margherita Sabbioneda的作品《Dear Paul and RCA SM》。據(jù)同專業(yè)的學(xué)生說,這是一件被校方警告,差點(diǎn)沒放到畢業(yè)展上的作品。
以下為作品的文字開頭部分:
Dear Paul
It didn’t feel right to have my work exhibited on this online‘degree show’.Although I was already working on Super Reflective,I felt the need to tell all the dodgy stuff and shady tales from this extraordinary year and throw it all in a book,because if it’s in a book it’s history,no matter what.So I spent 48 hrs working on this,also letting some personal feelings towards Senior Management spill on the pages(ouch).
Yes,there are a few spelling mistakes and I forgot to include many things,but this is the product of my frustration,my anger and sadness for this amazing cohort who is unfortunaltey ruled by the wrong bunch of people.

Yesterday night,on the opening of RCA2020,
I’ve received the following email:
Hi Margherita
As part of the ongoing work on the platform it's been flagged to me that your work Dear Paul is a matter of concern and a breach of ethics guidelines.
There are two areas of concern:
1.the use of a Getty image.Do you have a licence to use this image?If not,it is a copyright issue.
2.Use of specific names of people who have no right to reply.In a work focussed on institutional critique of power&accountability the use of names in this way can be deemed as a personal attack.
I have a duty of care to advise that any work you publish you are personally liable for its content and any subsequent implications.
It's not my role to try and censor you or to ask you to remove work,but to advise and make recommendations.In this case I would suggest:
1.If no copyright license is in place for use of the Getty Image,either obtain the license or remove or redact the image.
2.Ensure names are redacted in a way that best suits you and your work.For example,remove specific pages or redact any names within the work.You could then provide a link to the work hosted on a separate site.
Just to reiterate,this is in no way an attempt to censor or remove your work.These are recommendations to help mitigate potential implications for you that may result from the work.
I am happy to support you in making any changes to your page.
Let me know if I can help.
Regards
這件作品從以下幾個(gè)方面著手指出了學(xué)校長(zhǎng)久以來未得到解決且被學(xué)生長(zhǎng)期控訴的問題:
1、學(xué)校越來越商業(yè),學(xué)費(fèi)越來越貴
(語(yǔ)言班從2014年的100鎊面基授課漲到了如今的1800鎊線上授課)
2、專業(yè)擴(kuò)招嚴(yán)重,教學(xué)質(zhì)量受到影響
3、學(xué)制或許從2年要繼續(xù)縮減到1年
4、白城校區(qū)與主校區(qū)的連接不緊密,沒有設(shè)計(jì)氛圍
5、教師教學(xué)時(shí)間增長(zhǎng),休假被壓縮,待遇不公
...
為此重合君特意咨詢了已經(jīng)畢業(yè)的RCA學(xué)長(zhǎng)和目前正在RCA讀書的同學(xué)。以上問題確實(shí)發(fā)生,并且在2015年動(dòng)畫專業(yè)的學(xué)生已經(jīng)開始就專業(yè)擴(kuò)招在學(xué)校舉行了抗議活動(dòng),校方領(lǐng)導(dǎo)對(duì)于此事視而不見。而2020年英國(guó)高校教師就待遇不公問題舉行的聯(lián)合抗議也并未得到正視。
你在意學(xué)校的排名么?我們是否被排名所裹挾,而忘記了出國(guó)留學(xué)的初衷?
歡迎在下方留言區(qū)
與我們聊一聊你對(duì)于海外院校的真實(shí)看法
