Them who knew, originally, were damned when they assumed their autonomy, which was realized by a curiosity enticed by the smile (n) the form of ones features into a pleased, kind or amused facial expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned upward and the front teeth exposed. Friendly is an exhibition that contemplates the function of the human smile as it has been used as a tool. As we continue down this path to produce new consumables, also consuming ourselves over and over again, the persistent separation between the modern human and the rest of the natural world may recall the Garden of Eden, a place delivered to us through the story of history, which refects on the time when humans were living with nature who provides all that we need without a need to pay, until the invention of the forbidden fruit and the friendly serpent, that is. As we becoming hungrier and hungrier, tempted, distracted as we eat junk, we become the smile that we wear to get by and the questions are simply about what is happening anymore...
