BLOG 6: A GREAT ARTIST

 HI EVERYONE!!

Lotty Rosenfeld

Lotty Rosenfeld was a Chilean visual artist. She was born in 1943 and died in 2020. In 1968 she graduated from the Art School of the University of Chile. She was very active politically, especially during the dictatorship. She took her practice to the public space, developing many interventions, art actions and performance. In 1979 she formed CADA (Colectivo de acciones de arte) along with Juan Castillo, Fernando Balcelles, Diamela Eltit and Raúl Zurita.

She also worked individually in works such as "Una milla de cruces en el pavimento" (1979); highlighting the action, but also photography and video, which she used as a record and also as an artistic medium.

I like this artist very much because she uses art, through collective and also individual actions, to deliver clear messages regarding the social and political context in which she lived. I find this very important and I feel this is like a reference for me. I would love to do something like that.

Goodbye!

Blog 5: Photography

 Hi everyone

Today I will talk about a picture that I like. I looked through my gallery and the one I chose is a very funny one: 

I took this picture a month and a half ago, in my bed. It shows Clara or Clarita, and me. My cat always sleeps with me and accompanies me, she is very loyal. I wanted to take a nice picture to send it to my family and at the moment of capturing it, BAM! She sneezed and what remained forever was her funny expression with her tongue out and a strange position. I love Clarita very much and she makes me laugh a lot and also all my family especially when they saw the picture. We even made it a whatsapp sticker hahahah. I like the picture because every time I see it it makes me laugh. My nephew when he saw it made me a video call to laugh with me, it was really a good moment hahahah.

That's it, bye!!!
