Hello

I’m Josefin, 50% of Swedish Girls. It’ll probably be mostly me on here because Mira is not showing that much interest, which is a pity, it’s always very entertaining to read what she writes because her spelling is very creative. However we’re equally involved in the project that’s giving reason for this blog. We recently arrived in Milan where we will do a research residency for the rest of the year through the non-profit organization ViaFarini. We share a studio with a group of other artists and live in an apartment on the second floor.

We are here to start up the research for our next project, at the time of writing I don’t know what will become of it but the idea is to log the research in real-time. The content will serve as a transparent documentation of our process including highly intelligent observations and conversations, dynamics of our collaboration, a testimony of modern society and countless inspirational quotes. My intention is for this to become a book, like Issy Wood’s ”Queen Baby”, course literature even. So, I’ll name the first post “Preface” and would like to thank Kourosh Hekmatara for building this site. We limited the ways for anyone to interact so if you have a comment you can email us.
