Víctor Castillo s art work [1]
Chilean artists are discovering blogs as a way to introduce their work in Chile and in new markets. Bitacora del Artista (ES) [2], is a blog that has a selection of Chilean modern artists. All fields of art are included. Tropicaltoxic [3] posts about illustrations, Sergio Lay (ES) [4] gives updates of the art scene throughout Chile and Victor Castillo [5] (ES) shows his last exposition in Chile (he lives in Barcelona). This genre also has blogs of smaller groups such as La Perrera (ES) [6]. “La Perrera” was a dog pound that is now used for expositions of all types of art expressions. It is located in the center of the capital, Santiago. A collective of emerging artists post their work and their social opinion in La Nueva Gráfica Chilena (ES) [7]. News of the art scene, expositions, photos and opinion on social issues from the artists’ perspective are posted on this blog.
Other independent artists have started weblogs. Sebastián Garretón [8], Carlos Osorio [9] and Carmen Valle [10] regularly post their work and artistic concerns.
