Creating Chile


El espacio se llama “Puro Chile”, fue creado por Marcelo Junemann, editor de la revista “Big”, y diseñado por el arquitecto Felipe Aassadi (creador de la casa mas arriba) y será inaugurado en una esquina del SoHo en Nueva York en Septiembre próximo.

Arrancando las primeras palabras de la canción nacional, este dúo pretende mostrar una cara distinta de Chile en el extranjero.

Una cara mas moderna. Una cara mas creativa. Una cara mas cool.

No son los únicos.

Ayer, en uno de esos días que llenan de ideas y energías, me reuní con dos diseñadores chilenos que están colaborando a que el nombre del país sea mencionado cada vez que se habla de creación y vanguardia artística.

La primera fue Sandra Müller, que nació en Chile, creció en Francia y Suiza, ahora vive en Los Angeles, y acaba de integrarse al influyente Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).

Si está esperando de ella discretos colgantes o aritos de perlas, busque en otro lado, porque lo que Sandra hace está lejos de la legendaria ( y mortalmente aburrida) discreción chilena cuando se trata de joyas.

Mezcla de Goth & Rock, sus diseños incluyen broches en forma de guitarra en platino y turquesa, enormes e intrincados brazaletes, calaveras y un collar con puntas en diamantes y platino tan espectacular que, durante la entrega de premios del CFDA realizado el lunes pasado, Marc Jacobs y Antoine Arnault la detuvieron para admirarlo.

Sandra creció rodeada de estrellas –Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews, Liz Taylor y Doris Brynner eran sus ‘tias’, Daphne Guiness su compañera de juegos- y de ellas, sin duda, algo aprendió sobre su oficio.



El segundo fue Sebastián Errazuriz, que con una mezcla de talento, pasión y “cool look” se ha convertido en uno de los diseñadores mas comentados de Nueva York en el último tiempo.

La revista “Interview” le dedicó tres páginas en su “Design Issue” de Mayo con una entrevista realizada por Ross Bleckner. Además ha ocupado la portada de “I-D” y páginas en “Wallpaper” y “The New York Times” ‘T’ Magazine.

Y si quiere mas datos, aquí van: Keanu Reeves compró una de sus mesas hace unos días, y Takashi Murakami es fan.

¿Qué hace Sebastián? De todo; desde una lámpara fabricada con un pato taxi dérmico a una gigantesca mesa de cristal montada en un tronco. Actualmente está siendo representado por la influyente galería de Cristina Grajales en Manhattan y mantiene un estudio en Williamsburg donde, entre otras cosas, es posible encontrar un piano colgando de cuerdas desde el techo y un Cristo con capa de Superman.

Su mayor mayor aporte- y, quizás, su desafio mas grande- es su decisión de borrar de una vez y para siempre el frágil limite que divide el arte del diseño.




¿Quiere mas ‘made in Chile’?

Ahí está Simón País, que a los 23 años es- para mi muy personal gusto- uno de los mejores fotógrafos de moda que Chile ha visto en mucho tiempo o, como espero que suceda, “el próximo Mario Testino”.

No se trata solo de su impecable técnica o su ojo genial, sino de esa virtud que tienen algunos fotógrafos para transformar completamente la realidad, convirtiendo una cara, un zapato, un vestido, lo que sea, en un objeto de mágico e irresistible deseo.




La lista continua y es larga, pero por tiempo y paciencia solo nombraremos a uno mas: Smiljan Radic, uno de los arquitectos mas innovadores del país. Si tiene dudas, vaya a comer una noche de verano al restaurant “Mestizo” en Santiago y, mientras disfruta su pisco sour, quede mudo de asombro frente al ingenio y belleza de este lugar que combina naturaleza e impecable modernismo.

Si tiene suerte, quizás logre también visitar una de sus obras mas comentadas, una casa en Zapallar que parece estar flotando por sobre los acantilados frente al mar, una invitación al vértigo hecha de pura roca y pura vista.

Puro Chile.

Es verdad. En Chile existe y podríamos decir , abundante, masa de talentos que circulan por ahí... el problema es que no se ven muy respaldados y las ocasiones para "mostrarse" son realmente escasas. Algunas preguntas inmediatas que me surgen al leer este artículo son, al igual que Sandra y Sebastián hay muchos mas diseñadores transitando por el mundo y atesorando reconocimientos gracias a sus talentos, felicitaciones por ello! Pero… hay en Chile espacios para ellos? Tendrían la misma amplitud creativa si nunca hubiesen partido? Hay galerías de arte u otras organizaciones que ,con capacidad de entendimiento y buen juicio, apadrinen estas maestrías? La lista es larga y sigue..
Si, Chile es un país con gente muy creativa y talentosa , pero no muchas ocasiones para demostrarlo.
Habrá que ir a buscarlas afuera?
Manuel, para vos, un saludo afectuoso desde esta latitud.

Manuel Santelices said...

gaby, gracias por tu comentario. Creo que si, que es necesario que salgan. Pero eso no significa irse a vivir afuera, sino crear proyectos, buscar galerias, medios becas, hacer negocios, etc, porque en Chile- por una cuestion casi aritmentica de cantidad de habitantes- el mercado e smuy chico y los recursos limitados. Ademas, especialmente hoy, crear en y para un solo pais no tiene sentido.
Gracias de nuevo,
M

[url=http://www.adidasforum.com/adidas-retro-kicks-come-with-a-retro-game/]Adidas Forum[/url]
Now here's a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 5 hundred running shoe, and, since it originally comes from the '80s, the gaming inspired design and coloring is a simple choice ... Right? The kicks would possibly not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packed with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a PC game primarily based on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes the game stars a character named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has 5 minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off insane rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' to get on-stage before his set starts. It appears to be suitably retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

Transparency of accounting systems is another good indicator of honest online casinos. When testimonials are published make sure that it is from more than a set of initials, and make sure they have a state or country.

2. He emailed us and made sure that bonuses applied at other CWC platforms did not deny him a bonus at onlinecasinos5.com. In the case of other casinos, you have to be careful because there are "sister" casino sites that operate under the same business platform. When this is the case, you may not be eligible for the bonus if you were granted a bonus on their other "sister" casino site. Always email their customer service department. They will tell you. If they don't then don't play there. Also, if their customer service takes too long to get with you then don't play there. Acceptable waiting times vary between individual. In my case I'm not willing to wait more that 24 hours for customer service to get back with me. In the case of onlinecasinos5.com you are eligible for ALL of our bonuses regardless if you currently are a player at another CWC Gaming based casinos. Many CWC based casinos are taking different stands on if they allow US players to gamble on their sites. You will have to check with each one yourself.

But the best indicator of an honest online casino is by personal recommendation. This also includes affiliation of such casinos into trusted casino websites and portals. If an offer of free casino chips is made by an online casino on such a site then it can probably be trusted.

- Understand the set-up of the game on the site you're visiting. Make sure you know what you're clicking and why. It can be very confusing with all the bells and whistles and buttons flashing at you. Know the function of anything you click. If you cannot navigate your way around the game properly, use support tools the site may offer.


It is very important that the casino you choose to register for the offer at any of your favorite games, such as virtual table games, slots and rollers. The online casinos usually have a list of games they offer on their website to see the potential players. In case your favorite games are not listed, it is advisable to proceed to the next casino.

12.) Coveralls and Blackouts are longer bingo games. Probability of successive numbers coming together is higher in such games. Hence, change your play accordingly and choose appropriate cards for winning at these games in online bingo. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]play online bingo[/url] You have to mark all numbers in any given pattern or combination like diagonal, vertical, horizontal or a total blackout by marking all numbers in your card. The game stops as soon as any single player calls out 'bingo' after completing any particular combination or pattern. Thereafter, a new game ensues. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]play free bingo[/url] With so many different casino and gaming sites on the Internet, it is difficult to know which ones are legitimate and which ones are not. After all, if you want to join the gaming community, you have to decide whether you want to play for money or for fun and prizes. If the former, it is more pertinent to find out what sites are legitimate since you do not want to invest cash into something that is not going to give you a return on your investment.

In bingo, each player will get a sheet, which has six cards with a total of 90 numbers. On each one of these bingo cards, you will find 27 spaces grouped in 9 columns x 3 rows format. Each number is unduplicated; hence, it will not be repeated anywhere else in the sheet.

So I went ahead and splurged -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-Carbon-Edition-2.html]Fatman iTube Carbon[/url] and I am very glad to report that I made out like a bandit. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months back and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it blew me away. I searched online everywhere I could think of for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them up first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Shipping was fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they dispatch outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Very cool...
