The ProjectThe Project is the title of Ronja’s last project as an art student. What started out as a playful experiment in which the boundaries between art and life, between performance and authenticity, between autonomy and politics were notoriously tested quickly escalated into a reality show in which Ronja the Art Whore, became more and more obsessed with… herself? The relationship between Ronja the student and her teaching institution, The Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig, derailed into a point of complete chaos in which Ronja quickly became known as the mad woman within an environment that was collectively rejecting her ideas. Specifically Ronja’s project within The Project, the collaboration with the notoriously provocative artist collective The Unsafe House, was not well received within a space dominated by what Ronja likes to call “institutionalised neuroticism”. The Project turned into The Mission, but what is now missing is Ronja’s overview and a good portion of her characteristic Art Whore energy. Ronja’s graduation show is coming up in September. In order for her to gain back her powers for her last performance as an art student, she has decided to leave Leipzig for a while. She is now residing on an island far, far away. Literally. This website will be updated frequently with text based works investigating the question that seems to be occupying Ronja the Art Whore’s mind these days: What the hell happened? ![]() |
