Santiago City

Hello everyone! I hate Santiago. The people, the architecture, all! But, in some times of my life I stayed in places that inspired me or make me happy. One of these special places is the intersection between Paris with Londres, in Santiago Center.

I don´t know all Santiago, but I think that I meet many places for made an opinion of interesting places. When I studied in High School, I studied Photography, and the teacher asked for a photo inspired in some photograph. So a classmate chooses an urban photograph, and I accompany him to the center of the Capital. Walking for the streets, back to San Francisco Museum and San Francisco Hotel, we found this neighborhood and we stayed in shock. Was incredible!

I don´t go frequently, but for example, when a go to a demonstration, I go to see the architecture, the composition and the environment of this place.  I like for many things. When I go to first time, meanwhile we take photos, an artist started to sing and play guitar. All people that were walking or stayed in the buildings started to sing and started to come in around the artist. I know that is a European style, but is great think that today are places that preserve his essence and a culture that other movements can´t broke.

The Concert

Hello classmates! I hope you are very well. Today I talking about a Concert, because I can´t will choose an Exhibition between all that I visited. So, is not very complicated choose a Concert, because I went to only two, and I talking about my last Concert.

I don’t like go to the concerts, because the price of the tickets in this country are a crime, and I don´t like promote this practices. But I decided went because was the farewell Concert of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, before they decided separates. I don´t remember when was exactly, maybe in 2009. The Concert was in Club Hípico, and was other artists: Los Tres y Chico Trujillo.

I love Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. Is a mix between rock, Afro-Americans rhythms and sounds of the popular culture. The lyrics are very inspired, for his themes about liberty of the persons, the State´s repression, lyrics about the South-American people, etc.

Y went alone to the Concert, but into The Club Hípico I found many of my friends –one of my best friends went too!-, so I was with many people! Was amazing! The music, Vicentico, the atmosphere, the dance, all! But, the best thing that happen this day, was found to a big friend that living in Argentina.

See you!

Dream of kids

Hello everyone! I hope you´re very well. Welcome to the IV level! Today, I write about an ambition that a have. Is a dream since I am a little girl, and is play football in a professional stadium. Is a basic dream, but I always think who someone will can feel here! Playing in some important field of a country, feeling the pressure and listening to all people singing about you.

I love play soccer, since always, when I play in my house with my brother. He teaches me play, and together we are watching the cartoons about soccer (The Super Champions) for hours! And we talk about the experience of play in a real stadium, for example in Bombonera, Garden Square, National Stadium, Old Trafford, etc.

I don´t know if is possible fulfill this dream someday. Maybe when travel I will could know some stadium and visit the grave, but I don´t know if I will play in a stadium, with the full stadium and in a great soccer´s team. But I will be happy if a known and see to the great team, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Santos, Manchester United or Juventus.

This summer maybe I travel to Brazil for play in a football championship. This is the opportunity for feel play in a real stadium, I hope.

This photo is a match between Chelsea and Manchester United. A classic :) Regards!

The Best?

Hello everyone! I hope you are very well. Today we need write about the best. But, exist the best? I thing that is impossible say who is the best in art`s field, because the history of art is the history of subjetive and the sensibility. Is complicated too say what is the art/Art, so I am talking about an art`s group that is, in my opinion, the best attempt of make a social art: the Constructivism.

Russian Constructivism was looking back to the old vision of art: the inseparable relationship between art and life. From the worker`s revolution, is seeking a reaching method and a call for unity after the creation of a new popular imagination, which will be rebuilt or replace eventually with the less revolutionary period of the revolution: Stalin`s period.

The Constructivism is saw in two aspects: the development of useful life objects (industrial design), and the other is the propaganda (graphic design, advertising).

Examples of this movement are Rodchenko, Lazlo Moholy Nagy and El Lissitzky, who proposed the theory of the artist-constructor, that is the commitment by the revolutionary movement, saying that the artist are part of the process, and more importantly, the base for the conduct of life, and not vice versa.

For me, this group es the most important in the history of art, because were the only that presentated the real relantionship between art and life. During many times the theory said that the artist is separated of the social work, because is not necessary. But this started when the artist began to did his work for a particular institution, and not for the social reason. So I invited you to see the Constructivism and Bauhaus`s work, and say me what you think :)

See you!

Law and order

Hello everyone! I hope you are very well. Today I start with a question that I conversed with my family some few days: why the people are so angry, and just is demonstrate in Piñera`s government? Diverse mass meetings show this situation, but today I am talking about a law of little interest for the press.

It is true. Hidroaysén and the education reform have the attention is this times, but not are the only problems. What happen with the health? In the winter, is most evident all fails of our public health system. Infinites rows, shortage of equipment and bad attention are some problems. For this, the people are choosing for a better option: the private system.

The private clinics offer an excellent attention and guarantees for pay a month share. His prices depend of the people that make the contract: a single woman, a married woman, a single man, a family guy, an ancient, etc. Is more expensive when the people have children, have catastrophic illness or are up the 50 years old, because are more inclined to use the service constantly and in this case the clinic lose because many times the cost for the attention of this people is more expensive that the plan`s price.

The new ISAPRE`s law, obligated to the private health system to charge the same price for all people`s type, independent of his health condition. What is the problem of this? The cost of the plan will be more expensive or will have less cover, transforming the private system in a bad system and in an inaccessible system for the middle class.

See you!

Free Topic

Hello everyone! When somebody says:  “you can do everything!” is most complicated that a predetermine work.  So today we have a free topic, and is very complicated choose some topic.

Today I write about SEMDA (Medical and Dental Service for Students) situation.  WTF! Some few weeks, I got injured meanwhile I played football. So I got to Emergency for the student health care system. Here the attention was very good, because is a Clinic Hospital, and was early. But, the next day I got to SEMDA for an orthopedic check, and the situation is horrible. I don`t tell you of attention, but the system in general. For example, in the morning have only one orthopedic and one kinesthetic, FOR THOUSANDS STUDENTS! And only have one gynecologist, ONE, for all girls. This people work most of 10 hours for day, with a lower salary in comparison with a minimum salary.

Now, the new “public politics” of the new government want convert this free service only for students in a private service, delegate this work to another health service. The sale of SEMDA produces many protests with all University stratums. For example the employees ask for better salary and a regular contract. The students ask for a free attention and only for students.

What we can do? Combine student, teachers, doctors and all employees and demand our rights now! It is time of fight together for a better social situation. We have the energy and the cause, only we need do it!

See you J

Good Times

Hello everyone! I hope you`re very well. Today, I`ll talk you about a very special photograph for me. In my schooling, I don`t have the normal studies, like Biology or English class. I study visual arts, and more specifically, publicitary design, and in this mention I study photography during four years.

For graduated of the thirst level (2007), we had made an investigation about one photograph saw in class. So I chose to Pierre & Gilles, gay artists of France that make kitsch photographs and later they painting on the developing photography. After investigation, I need made a photograph inspired in the Pierre & Gilles`s job, and here started the story of this photo.

This photograph was stage and took for me with a camera of 35 mm, with black and white roll of 200 ASA, in an overcast day and in 500 for velocity. The esthetic and the social concept –for example gays and his relation with the Church- that use they inspired me for made a work of games between Maria`s Virgin and a contemporary young, in Kitsch terms. The woman that you see is a classmate, and the man is his boyfriend. The idea was that don`t see sharp because is a “private” and “incorrect” scene, and the spectator is convert in gossip and ghoulish person.

Independent the significant or significance of the photo, I like so much because I enjoyed prepared the photograph and was the art director for a day. Ah! this isn`t the definitive photo, this is a study for the final work, and this is for a next ocassion.

See you!
