The explanation

Fredrik Nielsen and Samantha Hookway are collaborating on a project and a process… yet, they have not physically worked on a piece in the same room. Instead, they have made a series of rules, and a switching of works, creating works independently but collaborating at the same time. This project is an examination of the ideas of what it means to collaborate, a process where we are de-constructing and constructing each other's work, redefining what is his, mine, or ours.

We will be documenting our communication via this blog. (especially since Samantha has since moved back to the US from Sweden).

Samantha is currently attending Graduate School at Tyler School of Arts, Philadelphia. More of her work can be found at www.samanthahookway.com.

Fredrik is currently a project student at Kungliga Konsthögskolan, Stockholm Sweden. More of his work can be found at www.myspace.com/fredriknielsen.
