It is time once again for a little update from the city of tango. Yesterday I went to an exhibition that I wanted to go to for such a long time. It was the David Lachapelle "Heaven to Hell" exhibition here at the Malba museum. David Lachapelle is the guy who makes a lot of sexually charged art with a lot of celebrities. He also started doing some music videos including "It´s my life" for No Doubt and "Dirrrty" for Christina Aguilera.
After a very long walk through the streets of Recoleta (artsy district) I finally made it there. The exhibition was great, even though much smaller than I thought. The images were so vibrant in color and very captivating. I could very clearly see the influences that he must have gotten from Andy Warhol back in the days. I really wanted to buy a some prints of his art work, but they did not have anything.
Then my daily dose of Tango was on the menu. I am slowly getting better and after a nearly private lesson last Saturday I now understand things a little better. So yesterday I learned some really complicated move, which I put to the test with a eldery woman from Venezuala...who clearly appreciated the young meat in her fingers. For me it was a little scary but also funny.
Tonight I am thinking of going to a Milonga (Tango dance event). It is in Palermo, which is another really cool part of town that I went to last Saturday. A lot of cool little shops, bars and cafes.
