Today I woke up and had the breakfast of a king, provided by Leyres father who left a ton of food in the fridge, bless his heart. Very beautiful. after I showered in this crazy shower and ate, I tried to write some words that could do justice to the past days I spent with C. It is very hard, the words do not come naturally to just describe or celebrate this total engagement with each other and the total love for each other. She is a donkey and I miss her so much. I met up with Leyre and we had a bite before going to the Guggenheim here in Bilbao. When we were in the big Serra room that has these immense spiraling metal structures there were a bunch of children playing in them. One young girl, from somewhere in one of these structures started -incessantly- laughing like an evil witch. wooooaaahhh haaaa haaa haaaaa… woooaaaaahhhh hahaaaa haaa haaaa … WOOAAAAAaaaaaahhhhhhhh haaaaa hhaaa haaaaaaa… One boy close to me -as if he was a sleeper agent and this was his signal- Stuck out his tongue, put it against the metal surface of the massive metal spiral we were in, and started running with his tongue against the wall. Initially it left a wet trace like that of a snail. I ran after him a bit and saw it dry quickly as he went. We reached the middle of the spiral and he kept going until he dissapeared again out of my sight. The girl kept laughing a while longer too. Stunning! Then we saw the Ruth asagawa show. It raises very interesting questions for me about design as expression of metaphysical beliefs. And it made me wonder how ‘art’ might merely be a subcategory of design when considering it from the standpoint of metaphysical belief. She was practicing a craftsmanship that did/does not really belong anywhere. And because the things she makes don’t really believe in anything they can only believe in themselves as forms. Which is deeply sad to me in some ways. Anyhow, we hung around some longer, had drinks in a bar and talked for a long time, a dog threw up on the floor, had more tortilla, linked up w some friends of leyre and then played darts.
