Top Cultural Story
LINKING ART AND POLITICS IN CHILE
The Art and Politics Colloquium 2004 and Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende
(June 4, 2004) “Everything is political and not everything is political. Everything is artistic and not everything is artistic.” Such were the paradoxical opening words of Jose Weinstein, Chile’s Minister of Culture, on inaugural night of the “Art and Politics” colloquium this past Tuesday. From June 1 to 3, distinguished artists and intellectuals from Chile and abroad met to talk about art and its relationship to politics through a series of conferences and seminars.
Santiago in Focus
IS CHILE POLITICALLY INCORRECT?
A Gringa’s Perspective On Cultural Insensitivity in Advertising
(June 4, 2004) Most travelers would agree that part of the fun of seeing other countries is learning about their culture. There are many ways of doing this: meeting people, observation, digesting the media, and so forth. For me, the marketing speaks volumes.
Film Review
ELEPHANT: VAN SANT’S SUBTLE MASTERPIECE
(June 4, 2004) Although it may be too slow and meandering for some, Elephant, written and directed by Gus Van Sant, portrays a fictional and objective perspective of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, the loose inspiration for the film. Van Sant is probably best known for his work directing the Grammy Award-winning movie “Good Will Hunting.” Elephant is a dramatic departure from the 1997 blockbuster.
Restaurant Review
IL BOSCO RESTAURANT: AS GOOD AS ITALIAN GETS IN SANTIAGO
(June 4, 2004) Those lucky, lucky people living in Providencia. Spoilt for choice, as far as restaurants are concerned. Peruvian and Brazilian cuisine vies for your attention with Chilean and Chinese restaurants. Ozono, Bar Liguria, Barcelona to name a few. However, there is a glaring omission on most discerning diner’s taste-bud radar: Il Bosco, on Antonio Bellet.
