Someone normally dear to me has been suggesting it\u2019s a \u201cgreat time\u201d to book flights to a beach somewhere on the coast of western Africa because of \u201cEbola prices\u201d. For now I can make do with the implied sunshine at Calero\u2019s warm and generous installation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17417\" alt=\"Sol Calero at Gillmeier Rech.

Taken with Samsung Galaxy Alpha.<\/p>\n<p>I picked a good day to go \u2013 not only was gallerist Verena Gillmeier available to <i>fast-fast-slow<\/i> step me through the show but the artist herself dropped in for a Frieze debrief and a quick #SleekAlphaSelfie. Her tropical cyber caf\u00e9 installation at the Laura Bartlett gallery booth was popular with fair attendees last week and Sol told me her proud father is continuing to send her new links to tweets and articles about her Frieze booth from across the globe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17415\" alt=\"Upskirt shot taken with Samsung Galaxy Alpha \" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/04.jpg\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" \/> Upskirt shot taken with Samsung Galaxy Alpha<\/p>\n<p>The work at Gillmeier Rech observes the Salsa phenomenon: often thought of as a pan-Latin American tradition, the music was actually conceived in New York\u2019s East Harlem during the 1970s. The sound grew from elements combed from Cuban Son, mambo, Latin Jazz and Afro-Cuban music (occasionally mixed with rock and funk components) but provided a \u2018safe\u2019 umbrella term to mass market Latin music amid Cold War tensions between Cuba and the United States. It\u2019s a complicated testament to the social power of music within racial integration and cultural definition for immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the exhibition, Calero threw a mojito-fuelled late night dance party at Berlin Salsa school \u2018La Mambita\u2019. Photos of the night taken by the school\u2019s in-house photographer are also installed at Gillmeier Rech, showing familiar faces (wearing expressions ranging through delight to exasperation) learning unfamiliar dance steps. Like the Salsa music playing in the background, Calero\u2019s tropical aesthetization of the space is a construction that borrows and fuses elements from a variety of distinct traditions, at once celebrating and questioning the nature of cultural export and appropriation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text von\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/tag\/ella-plevin\/\">Ella Plevin<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For more from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/category\/me-myself-and-art\/\">Me, Myself and Art<\/a> series and to win your own Samsung Galaxy Alpha, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/me-myself-and-art\/2014\/10\/sleekalphaselfie-win-samsung-galaxy-alpha-competition\/\">#SleekAlphaSelfies contest<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out previous entries here on our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sleekalpha.tumblr.com\/\">#SleekAlphaSelfie Tumblr<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;SALSA&#8221; by <strong>Sol Calero<\/strong>\u00a0is open from 2-6 until this Sunday, 27 October 2014.\u00a0See more images below:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sol Calero at Gillmeier Rech.
