PUBLISHER’S NOTE
|
THIS WEEKEND WILL BE a busy one in Santa Fe. The annual Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta brings lots of folks to town to sample our exquisite cuisine, especially tasty right now with the new chile harvest in. The variety of wineries represented is also quite a treat for the wine connoisseurs. Normally this would be the first big weekend of fall color up in the mountains, but it seems that the leaves are a bit behind schedule. Even so, the weather is perfect for a hike in the Sangre de Cristo or Jemez mountains. Friday night, there's a special opportunity to visit the site of the future New Mexico Museum of Art—Vladem Contemporary that will be at the corner of Guadalupe and Montezuma. This museum, opening in 2021, will definitely rock the Santa Fe contemporary art scene and I’m excited to see it take shape. The new normal in Santa Fe is that we have LOTS of music. Meow Wolf has added a new dimension to the scene and has several topflight acts booked for the coming fall season. There’s great music all over town this weekend, so don’t stay home—get up and get out. It’s a beautiful and fun world out and about in our city.

Third Coast Percussion performs a new piece by Philip Glass at the Lensic on Tuesday.
SAVERIO TRUGLIA
THIRD COAST PERCUSSION
PERFORMANCE Third Coast Percussion was founded in 2005 by four percussion students at Northwestern University. Using marimbas, tuned cowbells, Thai gongs, and other instruments that can be struck, the quartet has long outlived their original purpose of giving educational concerts in the Chicago area. The Santa Fe performance, presented by Performance Santa Fe (PSF), includes Perpetulum, a piece written for the ensemble by Philip Glass. PSF co-commissioned the piece, which Glass refers to as “almost like a concerto for quartet.” The quartet has commissioned pieces from established and emerging composers, including Augusta Read Thomas and Steve Reich. They won a Grammy in 2017 for a recording of Reich’s compositions for percussion.—Lisa J. Van Sickle Third Coast Percussion, $29–$115, October 1, 7:30 pm, Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco, performancesantafe.org
EVENT Step back in time and explore one of Santa Fe’s most historic neighborhoods: Barrio de Analco, surrounding San Miguel Chapel. Mule-packing demonstrations behind the “Oldest House” recall how travelers and traders relied on mules from the 1600s to the late 1800s. Genízaro dance demonstrations happen in front of the chapel and historic table displays are on view under its southside portal. Historian Hilario Romero gives walking tours of the barrio, starting at the front of San Miguel, at 12:30, 1:30, and 3 pm. Inside the chapel, docents give short talks, a mini art exhibition shows artists’ views of San Miguel Chapel across the decades, and a display of vintage serapes by Chris Ferguson, collector and owner of Tres Estrellas Gallery in Taos, is also on view. All outdoor activities are free and displays and activities inside San Miguel Chapel cost $2 for adults and are free for children 12 and under. Find free parking at the PERA building and other nearby State of New Mexico parking lots.—SE Barrio de Analco Fall Festival, $2 for indoor activities, outdoor activities free, September 28, noon–4 pm, San Miguel Chapel, 401 Old Santa Fe Trl, sanmiguel.org

santafeanNOW.com
Each September The Longworth Gallery invites Sandi Lear and Charles Frizzell, both watercolorists, to spend a weekend painting in the gallery. From 10:30 am–1 pm Friday and Sunday and 10:30 am–4 pm Saturday, September 27–29, visitors are invited to watch Frizzell and Lear paint. While oil painters can push and pull the paint, and even scrape it off a canvas if they want to try something differently, watercolorists don’t have that flexibility. Although their style, technique, and subject matter are wildly different—Frizzell paints the vanishing rural West and Lear portrays the world’s wildlife—both artists have mastered the unforgiving medium of watercolor.—Lisa J. Van Sickle

PREVIEWS
CONTEMPORARY VISIONS Pippin Contemporary 409 Canyon pippincontemporary.com Through October 2
Three artists—Elizabeth Hahn, Gina Rossi, and Suzanne Wallace Mears—present a group show of their recent work. Hahn’s paintings are instantly recognizable, with midcentury shoes, skirts, and luggage hinting at the outline of a story. Hard edges and straight lines separate Hahn’s bold blocks of color. Gina Rossi’s paintings could not be more different. She paints landscapes, subtly blended color and soft edges forming land and sky. The third artist, Mears, works in kiln glass. Her sculptures are vibrant, incorporating glass of different colors and degrees of opacity as well as dichroic glass and metal elements. Mears enjoys how the pieces change with a room’s lighting.—LVS

CAROLE BOWKER: WORKS ON PAPER Thomas-Carole Bowker Fine Art 815-D Early St thomas-carolebowkerfineart.com September 27–October 31 Reception September 27, 1–7 pm
For this exhibition, Carole Bowker focuses on the surroundings of Lake Michigan and Abiquiú, New Mexico. Her pastels simplify the natural world, from roving sand dunes to magnificent peaks, into delicate studies of shape and color. “With a background in painting, design, art history, and the natural sciences, my works integrate a keen interest in color, earth, and form,” Bowker says. “. . . Put very simply, my approach to art is to portray, in a variety of media, the essence, nuance and structure of nature in the least complex way.” Bowker, originally from Ohio and now based in Santa Fe, is inspired by the art of Arthur Dove, Milton Avery, and Georgia O’Keeffe.—Sarah Eddy Above: Carole Bowker, Cerro Polvadera, pastel on paper, 17 x 20" Below: Barry McCuan, Spring Meadow, oil, 18 x 24"
PASTORAL DREAMS—NATASHA ISENHOUR, BARRY MCCUAN, AND DON TILLER TAKE IT OUTSIDE Ventana Fine Art 400 Canyon, ventanafineart.com Through October 2 The allure of the natural world—both cultivated and untamed— drew three artists represented by Ventana Fine Art to seek out and interpret vistas well off the beaten path. Each artist has a unique take on the rural landscapes. Natasha Isenhour’s oil and pastel paintings lovingly capture serene, private moments among New Mexico’s cliffs, mesas, and waterways. Barry McCuan, who often works en plein air, paints the less-frequented areas of New Mexico, England, Scotland, and France. His renderings are warm and softedged. Don Tiller’s acrylic paintings, recognizable for their heavy contours and playful colors, wander into abstract realism. His rolling hills and cheery farmhouses idealize rural life.—SE September 26, 2019 NOW 13
