Nastja Säde Rönkkö

(Born 1985 in Helsinki) Finnish performance artist https://www.nastjaronkko.com

Works

Dear Diary (2013-2014)

https://www.nastjaronkko.com/dear-diary/ A year-long daily practice in which Rönkkö typed an objective and emotionless record of each passing day, then hand-writing an emotionally honest account on the opposite side of the paper. The diary entries were printed in books as well as displayed on a gallery wall with only the typed side of each page fully visible.

Till The Morning Comes (2014)

In collaboration with Luke Turner. Rönkkö stood at the far end of a jetty, embracing a beacon.

in here it is yesterday (2013)

https://www.nastjaronkko.com/in-here-it-is-yesterday/ Rönkkö invited viewers into a dark room for a on-on-one in which the person would name a song that reminded them of falling in love or heartbreak. Rönkkö provided another song that reminded her of the inverse of the participant’s feeling, and both people would listen to the songs together simultaneously.

The Same Song (2013)

https://www.nastjaronkko.com/the-same-song/ Using Google Translate, Rönkkö reworked love songs by mechanically translating them through different language options. In one of these performances, Rönkkö translated songs into her native tongue, a viewer’s native tongue, and their shared common tongue.

Home (2013)

https://www.nastjaronkko.com/home/ Rönkkö visited every city and town she had lived in and called home as a tourist. She disallowed herself from contacting friends or family. Rönkkö based her experience around local tour guides and information centers, which she used to dictate what she saw, where she went, and where she stayed. She could only visit a location she was familiar with in a city if the local guide suggested it.

Love Letter (2012)

https://www.nastjaronkko.com/love-letter/ Rönkkö invited audience members to talk with her one-on-one about their loved ones. She then wrote a love letter to the person’s loved one and sent it via mail, email, text message, or as a message-in-a-bottle.

‘He Will Not Divide Us’: Shia LaBeouf, Luke Turner & Nastja Säde Rönkkö’s Anti-Trump Project Relocates Overseas

On Wednesday, Shia LaBeouf tweeted that his four-year anti-Donald Trump project, “He Will Not Divide Us,” has found a new home overseas. As of today, the live-streaming protest was adopted by the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT) in Liverpool, UK.

[ultralaser]

Actor Shia LaBeouf, along with his friends Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner opened their latest artistic project on Friday, to coincide with Donald Trump’s inauguration. The live stream will continue for an impressive four years and was installed outside the New York Museum of the Moving Image. The art piece is titled 'HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US’, and it was set up to protest the President of the United States. On Sunday, protesters joined LaBeouf at the installation and chanted: ‘He will not divide us’ At some point during the protest / art piece, a young man appeared and said ‘14’ into the camera. The number 14 is used by white supremacists to reference the Fourteen Words – one of their most famous slogans. LaBeouf responded by shouting the mantra ‘He will not divide us’ into the man’s face. The man continues, by saying "We must secure the existence of the white people” and "Praise kek”, a 4chan reference often used in conjunction with support of Donald Trump, before the rest of his words are drowned out by LaBeouf.

Shia LaBeouf and Metamodernism

Shia LaBeouf is widely known for his roles in the major blockbusters like transformers and Indiana Jones, as well as for his occasional eccentric behavior. Lesser audience know him as a metamodernist artist and performer frequently collaborating with fellow art-lovers with Luke Turner and Nastja Säde Rönkkö. What exactly metamodernism stands for and what makes Shia into a great voice of millennial contemporary art scene we will find out in the following article. Metamodernism is a young art trend that emerged from the postmodernist era and referrers to the post-postmodernist times. If this explanation seems a bit vast, we can offer some explanation. Basically, metamodernism is a philosophy of the millennials generation who grew up among the postmodern realities; sarcasm, mass culture, appropriation, self-reflection surrounded them since childhood. But researches of metamodernism also point out that it builds a bridge between modernism and postmodernism with the contemporary perspective. It distances itself from deconstruction, cynicism, nihilism and decadent attitudes and moves towards sincerity, romanticism, returning to storytelling traditions and trying to restore strive for meaningfulness taking into account modernist's experience. According to cultural theorists Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker this new art trend "can be conceived of as a kind of informed naivety, a pragmatic idealism", it constantly aspires to creative self-expression and immediate response to various changes and events. It's high time we come back to the main focus of our article - Shiah LaBeouf. So what is so metamodernist about him? The first endeavor of LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner took place back in 2014, when Shia appeared at the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival wearing the paper bag over his head that said "I am not famous anymore". 

Two days later, a performance #IAMSORRY was held at a Los Angeles gallery during which Labeouf was sitting in his tuxedo and a paper bag in the room with various object and the visitors could approach him in whatever manner they want, reminiscent of the famous Marina Abramovich performance.The objects in the room were all connected with the actor's past performances and habits. In 2015 their next project named #INTRODUCTIONS took place and we are sure you have seen some parts of it. Collaborating with Central Saint Martins Fine Art students, the trio released a video based on student's short scripts with LaBeouf as a narrator. It had been released under a free license, so the public could manipulate and appropriate it freely. "Just do it" part of the video meant as an exaggerated motivational parody went viral and created thousands of memes across the internet.

Another peculiar performance, #ALLMYMOVIES, included Shia LaBeouf watching his own retrospective in reverse order. His facial expressions and reactions were live streamed and the public was invited to join LaBeouf at New York's Angelika Film Center. Honest reactions to ones past mistakes as well as achievements, reinvention of sincerity and self-reflection of a cinematic reflection of oneself - that's the essence of the performance.

#TAKEMEANYWHERE is another project executed by the trio and it is definitely a graceful nod to the beatniks and Jack Kerouac. Artists went on a road trip and would post their GPS coordinates on their website and wait for strangers to pick them up and take anywhere fellow travelers want. This route's coordinates were also live-tracked and displayed at their website. Exploration of the collective mind, trust and technology-based fate are the leitmotivs of this interactive adventure.

With Donald's Trump election as a president of the United States, the whole world turned political with LaBeouf as no exception. The trio launched a protest action/performance that is meant to last for 4 years (till the next elections). Anyone is welcomed to join! HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US consists of a camera setting outside of the Museum of the Moving Image in New York, with the words "He Will Not Divide Us" written on the wall that is being filmed. The camera is streaming the spot for 24/7 and everyone can speak up and say the phrase as much as they want to. This is a place of "anti-division" and total acceptance, along with a protest against the Trumps's controversial policies. 

Though the museum decided to close up the project because of the safety concerns, the resonance among the audience was quite wide and people keep creating pieces in order to continue this undertaking. Well, as we are waiting for more creative and interactive projects from LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner, it is safe to say that not everything is what it seems. While wide audiences see LaBeouf's behavior as rather erratic one, knowing his artistic ventures, we can see a full picture. It's metamodernist reality - when art does not imitate life, but becomes highly interlaced with the viewers and aims at exploration, seeking sense, making change with all means that contemporary technocratic reality can offer us.

I can’t believe I’m just now learning that there are two other artists who have collaborated with Shia LaBeouf on the “He Will Not Divide Us” livestream, Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner. They also helped LaBeouf with several other art projects, including the paper bag stunt, livestream of Shia watching his old movies, and the “Just do it!” meme. Here is a website to all of their works that they have done together.

LaBeouf-led livestream says 'He Will Not Divide Us'

Shia LaBeouf wants you to know: "He will not divide us." "For the first few days of Donald Trump's presidency, the actor has been repeating that sentence into a live camera mounted on a wall outside a New York City museum, usually with a backdrop of everyday New Yorkers chanting and singing along.The livestream from outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens is for a participatory public art project LaBeouf and two collaborators intend to have running for the duration of Trump's presidency.The camera went live the morning of the inauguration, along with a website inviting the public to show up and repeat the phrase, "He will not divide us," any time of the day or night.The scene in front of the livecam has ranged from lively — with scores of young people dancing and clapping — to lonely late at night.LeBeouf has been a frequent, though not constant presence, wearing the same blue jacket and red hat."

Trying to keep the conversation going. Trying to keep the fire stoked.

Shia LaBeouf

People were out in heavy rain chanting Monday night.Technically, the project from LaBeouf and his performance art partners Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner isn't about opposition to Trump.The project website says the meaning of the mantra "He will not divide us" should be "guided by the spirit of each individual participant." "We're anti-division out here.

Shia LaBeouf's anti-Trump livestream moves to the UK for 'safety'

Since its launch in January, Shia LaBeouf's anti-Trump art piece has been mired in controversy. In its short life, "He Will Not Divide Us" has been shut down by New York's Museum of the Moving Image (its original home), played a part in LaBeouf's arrest following a scuffle and relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Fears over public safety have made it hard for LaBeouf and his two co-artists, Luke Turner and Nastja Säde Rönkkö, to find a permanent home for their project in America, so they decided to remove it from the US completely. It's now been adopted by the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT) in Liverpool, England, where where a flag bearing the name of the project will be streamed live 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the remainder of the Trump presidency.

In a statement, LaBeouf said that threats and criminal activity from message boards including 4chan and 8chan had shown that America "is simply not safe enough for this artwork to exist." Already, the performance artwork has been stolen and defaced, a nearby field was set on fire and gunshots were fired in its vicinity.

Originally, the exhibit allowed visitors to demonstrate their resistance to the 45th President of the United States by saying the words "He Will Not Divide Us" into a camera mounted on a wall outside the Museum of the Moving Image in New York and Historic El Rey Theater in Albuquerque.

Before arriving in Liverpool, the project dropped the camera and switched to the flag, which was moved an unknown location. 4chan users managed to track it down and replaced it with a "Make America Great Again" hat earlier this month. Although FACT is a well-known cinema and art gallery, the organisation will likely have taken precautions to ensure the same thing doesn't happen again.

Video Selection: Just Do It

I decided to go with Shia LaBeouf’s ever famous, “Just Do It” video. 

History

The video itself is a clip of him performing for a video art project called #Introductions for a London arts college, directed by two students, Luke Turner and Finnish artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö. Each student in the class was told to write a short 30 second script for LeBeouf to perform in front of a greenscreen, which could be as “poetic, abstract or literal” as they liked. It was intended to be a performance piece, and was filmed over a greenscreen, and released on a Creative Commons license which means that anyone in the world can work with the video for free.

This internet sensation video made its rounds on the internet starting in 2015, accumulating over 1.4 million views in its first 5 days online. A plethora of satire videos have been made based off this original clip.

Why I Chose It

I chose this video because it’s both comedically intense, and actually motivational. The intensity of his voice and the message has interesting implications for creating bold/intense typography. It’s short/sweet, and whether by comedy or message, it makes an impact. Already having watched it multiple times, I’ve noticed the message starts hitting more profoundly every time I listen to it.

[situation-ist-blog]

“Grad school hobo Shia LaBeouf has reemerged from his self-imposed exile from the spotlight, ready to defend his recent, Situationist thesis on the society of the spectacle—specifically, the spectacle that is a drunk and belligerent Shia LaBeouf...he turned these “explorations” into several plagiarized manifestos on plagiarism and an art exhibit. But as with all performance art pieces, really it was all about a desire for attention.”

"We were having a couple of industry speakers come in and share with us, and we were supposed to be Skyping with Nastja Säde Rönkkö (the Finnish performance artist who is listed as a credit for #IAMSORRY). And then Shia LaBeouf popped up onscreen”. “He said “Hi, my name’s Shia, I’m going to read something to you.” It must have been 6.30 in the morning in LA. He starts going and it sounds vaguely familiar, he’s clearly reading something off a screen... then it becomes obvious he’s reading from The Society of Spectacle. The Skype call was like 20 minutes long and he was just ploughing through it. Then he said, “Thanks so much for letting me read to you!” and hung up.
