Woody and Juanmi
Woody Allen plans to come to San Sebastian to film the film. The mayor says it's good news. But it is something that has already existed among us. When forty-four years ago I was a teacher in a school, I was an artist among us. In Allen we read the plays and with the young theatre we also saw films and organized a modest cinema forum. We wouldn't be the only ones.
Excessive importance is given to the personal appearance of an artist, although those who yearn to see do not know their artistic contribution at all. More in the case of politicians: the report prepared by the servants (usually taken from Wikipedia) is often read at the last minute to find out who the author, interpreter, painter or sculptor comes and his merits. They're not the only ones. I
cannot give an accurate opinion of the allegations of sexual abuse against Woody. There are many interests and little information at stake. However, it is the most ardent who decide on one side or the other. The mayor said nothing about it. It's not the only one.

noticia.El Basque filmmaker Juan Miguel Gutiérrez, Juanmi or Guti, for his part, has left San Sebastián and the world in general. It's bad news not to mention any command.
Woody has been a better writer than a filmmaker. The book How to end culture once and for all (of course we read in Spanish) seemed particularly stimulating. He didn't talk about the culture of business or the business of culture. There was no need to end. San Sebastian – although the March says otherwise, it is not the only one in the world – is today in the hands of business. For the propaganda of these it is very good that now Woody in person comes to sell the city with a big screen.

The Basque filmmaker Juan Miguel Gutiérrez, Juanmi or Guti, for his part, has left San Sebastián and the world. It's bad news, a cruel slap. Juanmi’s artistic works have been with us for a long time, but offer you more in your mind and in your loves. I did not want to “end” culture, but to promote a real culture.
Their culture was determined, the invisible network that was created between them. The poor, marginalized, incapable, who remained in the shadow of the mass media, tried to look and teach well, believing that it was the best way to understand, to love and to connect with them. He's not the only artist who acts like this. He was here, in person with us, he should not come. But it's gone. Goodbye.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
