What is friendship?
A network of corruption and civic love for:
Dinners, hang over breakfasts, chain smoking, and other simple pleasures of life
Failing better together
Dishing on institutions and their bureaucrats
Dishing on other friends
Starting a bar
Starting any other unnecessary art project
Celebrating life in a form of a marriage, a birthday party, a funeral, or a show opening
Asking someone to write an unnecessary text
Inviting them to share a budget when you have one
Asking them to work for free when you don’t have a budget
Pillow talks
Laughing out loud together
Sharing new music
Getting older together
Being silent together
Remembering
Forgetting
Welcoming new members of the network together
Keeping your distance
Challenging the distance
Curbing bitterness
Nurturing enthusiasm

The Distant Chatter Coming From The Cortyard
The Garden is Full
An Empty House. A beautiful extravagant host by itself. Filled up with air of coming again seasons forecasts, being not a white lie after all. Early hot seasons laid out with crumbled parliaments on the surface of a marble, scheduled for disappearance – they give a little cry about their existence. What an erotic coincidence of a house where one present comes in rounds. Flat floors been laid out that way, you’d see no crack, remaining human body temperature, they’ve been created to seduce. Usually blue in the Mornings Arches are open for Sunshine visitations, they feed you up with serotonin left after that last night when Birds were around, peeping through its hole. So much noise! So much yet to remember, in a new future of yours. An Empty House is here yet to remind you of a coming responsibility to commit to dreaming, it means you can afford it finally, house being such a friend! Soft to touch walls are here to adjust your expectations, to guard your body – it travels so often these days. Once you there you’ll be leaning on the curtains to forget about all that clutter of life. What is it that impulse to remember everything at once? Forget! That house is a strong indication of change, with no wish of becoming an institution. On the way you’ll find a well, it made itself through – as water always founds its way, drink as much as you want, make your mouth full, wash your face, spit it out, let it soak. An Empty House is not traditional nor contemporary – it has some orthodoxy to it though. It has history, if you think its important. It has no image, nor painting, no depiction on its walls as its a motive in itself. Objects there fall apart after performing a scene. Scents are there to elevate the moments of the loved once. Theres no vases to be shuttered as roses drink themselves from that myst around.
