except for the first: an art residency in Greece, well, duh.
\nif you were a Greek, and an art patron, and saw his HOLE show – you might act in the same exact way. oh yeah.<\/p>\n

\nnote . . the cacti \/ cactuses ? – on the porch (!!)
\ndamn, the architecture is interesting, sort of a close cousin for parts of (gentrified) Brooklyn, if you squint.
