When I published my first book of poems, they offered me a recital at a university. The musician charged in money and I was given a book about Jorge Oteiza, which I didn't take because I was in my house. This was the first of the unacceptable requests that I have accepted. It was also the story I wanted to pay with dairy products, which they didn't publish after making several versions and visiting the nursery. And I've done a lot of free stuff, or a cheese, and I'm very comfortable, but I've always been asked the most embarrassing requests from public institutions. The other day I broke the wheel of the car in the direction of Pamplona. I took a few hours on vacation to spend two sessions with some kids, because they followed a story that I had started. Of course, I did not receive any money. A tote bag and a ballpoint pen. The parking in charge and the mileage as well. I find it hard to say no to orders, and more to ask about remuneration. As if you didn't ask yourself to eliminate the problem. “The Basque artist lives and must continue to live in the short field in exchange for the grace to do what is called.” The phrase is from Amagoia Gurrutxaga, coordinator of Lanartea, who knows that the quote is the first step to solve them.
