SANTA FE
From the time of the ancient Anasazi, the Santa Fe area has been a trading center. The Santa Fe Trail is synonymous with the romance of the Old West, and from the time of New Mexico statehood in 1912, Santa Fe has been a multicultural art center and shoppers’ paradise.

publisher’s note
|
In THE last few weeks, I’ve been commenting about the unusually diverse activities that take place here in Santa Fe. Clearly, this is not a one-trick-pony kind of town, as you will soon see just by reading this weekend’s highlighted activities in NOW magazine. Los Lobos are returning to Santa Fe, and you can read about that in this issue. Their Saturday night performance at the Lensic is sure to sell out, and it will be a terrific show. It’s encouraging see major acts like this coming to our community; we’re excited about the new effort to bring in this caliber of entertainment on a regular basis. For something completely different and lots of fun, consider heading to Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino for Comic Con—a three-day party that’s perfect for the whole family, with an emphasis on laughter. Comic Con has celebrity guests, authors, hundreds of vendors, local artists, film screenings, autograph opportunities, amazing awards, a cosplay contest, trick-or-treating, an actors’ retreat, and after-parties. Doesn’t this sound like fun! And finally, I’m happy to support one of my own: Stephen Lang. You may know that name, of course, as he’s NOW magazine’s featured photographer, taking photos all over town for us on a regular basis. Tomorrow night, we will get a chance to see another side of Stephen’s work as he premieres his photographs of White Sands with an opening at David Rothermel Contemporary, at the corner of Marcy and Lincoln. Diversity reigns.

Apparently Los Lobos just can’t stay away from New Mexico. The Grammy Award-winning rockers from East Los Angeles played at Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino back in August, and on October 24, they’ll take the stage at The Lensic Performing Arts Center. The band—David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, and Steve Berlin— will likely play tunes from their newest album, Gates of Gold. Released on September 25, Gates of Gold is the quintet’s first album since 2010, and the dynamic 11-song collection features lyrics that touch on everything from the immigrant experience to impending mortality. Like previous records, the sound is mainstream American rock with a Mexican twist. “Unlike many bands that write, gather, and catalog material between studio releases, Los Lobos prefers to create their magic on the fly when they decide it’s time to record,” drummer Perez said in a statement. Singer/guitarist Cesar Rosas agrees. “When I listen to our catalog, doing things more spontaneously in the studio has led to some of our best work,” he says. With their best work being hits like “La Bamba,” “Don’t Worry Baby,” and “Bertha,” the band must be doing something right.—Whitney Spivey

Violinist Ruxandra SimionescuMarquardtis makes her Serenata debut in American Made
Serenata of Santa Fe: American Made
When she began selecting repertoire for the American Made concert on October 25, Serenata of Santa Fe’s artistic director and oboist Pamela Epple looked for music by 20th and 21st century American composers who have been inspired by our country’s open spaces. Opening the program is John Corigliano’s “Aria for Oboe and Strings,” which is one movement from the composer’s 1975 oboe concerto. “I love the piece because it sings,” Epple says. “It’s not unbearably hard, but it is virtuosic. Corigliano wanted this aria to be able to stand on its own and be performed without the rest of the movements from the oboe concerto.” The idea to perform Samuel Barber’s Sonata for Cello and Piano, Opus 6 (1932) came from Serenata of Santa Fe’s cellist Sally Guenther. Meanwhile, Epple wanted to include a work by John Harbison, and selected his 1981 piece Quintet for Strings and Piano.
“Harbison carries a torch for American music,” says Epple. “I love his music and try to include a piece of his in every one of our seasons. The quintet was commissioned by the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and dedicated to Georgia O’Keeffe. The acoustics in First Presbyterian Church are going to be wonderful for this piece.” Joining Epple and Guenther on stage are Serenata regulars David Felberg (violin), Debra Ayers (piano), and Shanti Randall (viola), as well as newcomers Frank Murry, a freelance bassist from Albuquerque, and Ruxandra Simionescu-Marquardt, a Romanianborn violinist teaching in the Albuquerque area. “Inviting new musicians to play with us helps keep the music alive and not so predictable,” Epple adds.—EVC Serenata of Santa Fe presents American Made, October 25, 3 pm, $15–$35, First Presbyterian Church, 208 Grant, brownpapertickets.com
the opposite of cynical: The Martian

santafeanNOW.com
Matt Damon stars in Ridley Scott’s The Martian
on Mars? In Prometheus, it takes guns and axes to survive; in The Martian, our heroes’ weapons are mathematics, physics, engineering, and even botany. Countries graciously coordinate, sharing technology. If it weren’t such a fine film, The Martian might have the feel of an exercise (“Okay, Ridley, let’s see if you can make sci-fi without your evil robots.”). Scott put his toys away; and the result is mature, fun, inspiring, and as scientific as science fiction gets.—Phil Parker
Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, TSG Entertainment
The Martian is almost an atonement for Ridley Scott, a beautiful apology to scientists and the scientifically inclined. “Yes,” the director seems to say with his newest film, “I know killer androids and killer aliens are goofy. Here. Here is honest science fiction, without anyone’s skull getting crushed.” Scott has always been a technically proficient master of special effects, but those effects have often served silliness, even in movies rightly considered masterpieces. With his first two science fiction films, Blade Runner and Alien, Scott established himself as the father of killer androids and killer aliens (and killer androids who help killer aliens). Yet as prolific as he is, and as classic as those two films are, he dabbled in sci-fi only one other time before The Martian. I refer, of course, to the wonderful and absolutely bonkers 2012 Alien prequel Prometheus. The best science fiction often presents horrors that reflect important themes of human nature, and Scott’s androids have been particularly evil, his films particularly cynical. Blade Runner’s Roy Batty kills his creator for making him so frustratingly mortal. In Alien, corporate bosses sacrifice grunt employees for a monster they can turn into lucrative weapons. Prometheus declares that the universe is merciless and indifferent; that any search for meaning a terrible mistake. These dark themes are painted in shocking gore (Alien’s chest-busting scene remains a benchmark) and insidious motives. How fascinating, then, that The Martian has no villain. Its characters are highly intelligent and moral—people with the ideal mix of humor, humility, and confidence. The film’s conflict isn’t a fight, it’s a puzzle: How do you rescue a man who is stranded

a little pop for Santa Fe’s culture second annual Santa Fe Comic Con FORGET SAN DIEGO OR NEW YORK. New Mexican fans of pop culture need only drive up Highway 84 to find their inner geek. The second annual Santa Fe Comic Con runs from October 23-25 at the Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino Convention Center and features a number of famous faces and names behind famous characters. Scheduled to attend this year are actors Bai Ling (The Crow), Tony Todd (Candyman), and Noah Hathaway (Battlestar Galactica), among many others. Also on hand will be athletes Bill Goldberg (professional wrestler) and Frank Mir (UFC). Len Wein (creator of the Marvel Comics character Wolverine) and Brian Pulido (creator of Lady Death) will represent the comic book world. Promoter Jim Burleson also says that surprises are inevitable. True Blood’s Jim Parrack, for instance, recently signed on to attend. This year’s convention may swell to some 10,000 guests, but attendees can expect an intimate experience with their favorite stars. Celebrity-driven panels run throughout the day, starting an hour after doors open. Topics to be discussed include acting, wrestling, and breaking into the comics and entertainment scenes. Younger fans might choose to participate in the cos[tumes] play contest, watch the scheduled anime, or shop for souvenirs from 200 vendors. Once the kids go to bed, adults can party with live bands or take part in a charity poker tournament. Look for Swami Rob, playing on Saturday night, and superhero burlesque over the weekend as well. Tickets for one, two or three days (ranging in price from $15 for a day pass up to $250 for a VIP Platinum three-day pass) are available online at santafecomiccon.com or in person at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino.

Mark Morris Dance Group 35 years of eclectic, electric choreography
“Nuances are an important part of his work,” says Lynch. “All of the dancers have worked hard to learn his particular style. There’s a humbleness to his work. It can look easy. The challenge lies in communicating the details.” Morris founded the Mark Morris Dance Group in 1980 and has created close to 150 works for his company. He’s also been involved in other projects through the years. From 1988 to 1991 he was the director of dance at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, the national opera house of Belgium. In 1990 he founded the White Oak Dance Project with Russianborn ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov. Morris has taught at the University of Washington, Princeton University, and Tanglewood Music Center and received 11 honorary doctorates to date. He was named a fellow of the MacArthur Foundation in 1991. Music usually provides the seeds for Morris’s movements. “He listens to music and collects certain images in his mind,” says Lynch. This intense dedication to music is reflected in performances that always feature live musicians collaborating with dancers. “We (the musicians and dancers) take cues off each other,” Lynch adds. “Each performance becomes a very alive experience.” Mark Morris Dance Group, October 27, 7:30 pm, $74, Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco, tickets.ticketssantafe.org

HILARY SCOTT
NEW YORK CHOREOGRAPHER Mark Morris is in great demand as a ballet choreographer, but he’s also firmly entrenched in modern dance. His piece Pacific, which the San Francisco Ballet asked him to create in 1995, is one of three dances presented by his company, the Mark Morris Dance Group, at the Lensic PerformingArts Center on October 27. Another work, Festival Dance, was created in 2011 for six couples. THE, also on the Santa Fe program, premiered this year at Tanglewood Music Center and is a fully modern piece, says Laurel Lynch, one of 18 dancers in the company. “Mark’s signature approach is to have everybody dancing together most of the time, but a few years ago he became interested in the traditional man/woman partnering,” says Lynch. “Festival Dance has a classical formality to the shape and architecture of the dancers but it’s also somewhat folk-like in that the dancers form circles and lines.” Unlike some of his contemporaries, who are interested in showcasing their dancers’ virtuosity, Morris focuses his attention on communicating complex ideas that are open to a variety of interpretations. He’s particularly interested in human relationships and yet tends to avoid a story line.
Plaza Cafe Southside The hip little sister restaurant to the original Plaza Café is nowhere near the Plaza, but Plaza Café Southside is a great place to enjoy a homemade dessert or a full meal after a movie at the Regal Cinemas on Cerrillos. With creative dishes like the crispy avocado taco pictured here, the diner is reaching out to all of us who have special diets and offering delicious gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. These tacos hit all of those dietary designations, as they’re made with avocado slices coated with protein-packed quinoa, sesame, and poppy seeds; and they’re garnished with romaine lettuce, roasted corn, red bell pepper, chopped green chile, and pickled onions. Rounding out the meal with a side of pinto beans and Spanish rice, the avocado tacos please the palate with a variety of spicy and mild ingredients that simultaneously run the gamut of textures and nutrients.—Cristina Olds

Stephen Lang, White Sands, photographic print, 12 x 24"
Photographer Stephen Lang wasn’t prepared for the blinding whiteness of White Sands National Monument in southern New Mexico when he spent two days there in 2012. “I’ve seen massive amounts of snow in the East Coast, but this was something different,” says Lang. “I couldn’t read the numbers in my camera.” Despite the visual challenges, Lang persevered in his goal to photograph these unusual sand dunes, which are made of gypsum crystals. He has selected a group of photos, originally taken in color and converted to black and white, to display at David Rothermel Contemporary from October 23 through November 6. Lang, primarily a freelance photographer, moved to Santa Fe more than two years ago and was mesmerized by the dunes’ graceful curves, gentle slopes, and subtle shapes and tones. “I live and die by my eye,” he says. “It is what propels me into whatever world I choose to shoot in.”— Emily Van Cleve Photographs of White Sands National Monument by Stephen Lang October 23–November 6, reception Oct. 23, 5–8 PM David Rothermel Contemporary, 142 Lincoln #102, drcontemporary.com October 22, 2015 NOW 21

Shidoni Foundry
losing your wax, finding your bronze
Pouring bronze to create beautiful sculptures since 1971, Shidoni Foundry is a full-service stop for bronze casting. The Shidoni team of long-term staff—who are mostly artists themselves—can do any part of the process of the lost wax method of bronze art casting, from mold making to casting to pouring. “We do everything from small to large pieces; we’re not just for artists but also hobbyists,” says Alex Donnatelli, assistant foundry manager. Bronze is the primary metal poured at Shidoni, but depending on the weight of the piece requested, they will re-purpose the preheat furnace to be used with other materials. The artists are encouraged to help with the many steps in the process (see shidonifoundry. com for a comprehensive guide), but for safety, the Shidoni team does the actual pouring of the molten metal. Visit Saturday afternoons to see this process firsthand and stroll the surrounding eight acres of sculpture gardens.—Cristina Olds Shidoni Foundry, 1508 Bishops Lodge, Tesuque, shidonifoundry.com
Using a ladle, Shidoni pour captain and artist Josh Ybarra pours excess metal from a pour into ingots, molds that will be used at a later date. The pour team wears kevlar suits for this hot job.
Investment shells are poured with metal that is melted in a large furnace.
Shells are moved with a hoist out of the dropping cage. The cage is moved to a sand bed where shells will be poured with bronze heated to 2,000 degrees.
This is the back of a sculpture by artist Bruce LaFountain that’s been encased in wax and is covered by a ceramic shell. Once bronze is poured in the shell and cooled, the shell cracks off, leaving the bronze sculpture.

Alvaro Cardona-Hine truth in Truchas
by Eve Tolpa
ALVARO CARDONA-HINE got serious about painting 50 years ago. “When I was 40 years old, I decided I needed color in my life,” he says of the transition. “I never had a teacher. I had a lot of friends who were painters, and I watched them.” He’s always worked in series, exploring themes that range from Buddhist sutras to Egyptian myths; his latest is called Dream Cities. Those pieces, he says, “begin with groups of color” and are “happier” than what he’s created in the past, representing “a breakthrough in terms of form.” Originally from Costa Rica, Cardona-Hine relocated with his family to Los Angeles at age 14, when his father accepted a post as a consul. (“There were no freeways,” he recalls. “L.A. was a garden; it was gorgeous.”) His work was featured in galleries in both California and Minnesota before he and his wife, fellow artist Barbara McCauley, came to Truchas in 1987 to open CardonaHine Gallery, where they still show their paintings and prints. “Most artists are a little too proud to peddle their own work,” says Cardona-Hine, who continued to exhibit work nationwide after the move, but has found the ideal model of an artist-owned space, with its inherent capacity for aesthetic freedom. Equally ideal is Truchas. “[It’s] a happy little village,” he says. “There are a lot of galleries here.” Cardona-Hine’s talent transcends the visual; he is also a composer and author who has published more than 30 volumes

of poetry and prose. His current passion project is translating from Spanish to English a book by his brother, who was “a very well-known poet in Latin America,” based on the latter’s conversations with Diego Rivera. Called El monstruo en su laberinto (The Monster in His Labyrinth), it is, says Cardona-Hine, “a very important book in terms of Rivera’s ideas.” Dream Cities, October 25–November 8, Cardona-Hine Gallery, 82 Country Road 75, Truchas, cardonahinegallery.com October 22, 2015 NOW 23

fluent in multimedia Tony Abeyta mixes philosophies, textures, senses—and hats
Navajo contemporary artist Tony Abeyta wears many hats. Literally. And the kind of artist he is on any given day depends on which hat he is wearing. If it’s a baseball cap, he may be splashing paint around on a large-scale black-and-white abstract. If he’s wearing a cowboy hat, it’s because he must again bear witness to the marriage of the Taos sky and earth, a sight permanently impressed in his imagination. Yet another hat finds him in a parking lot, negotiating a score of turquoise to get his jewelry-making fix. Abeyta’s primary focus has been brightly colored textural paintings of New Mexican landscapes. He began to experiment on this foundation with grainy materials like sand, which evolved into sculpture and jewelry making. The three-dimensional work in turn influenced his painting, and vice versa. “It’s about translating 3-D, color, and texture into one another,” says Abeyta. His newest work is a confluence of these elements, with the addition of sound. “I am animating abstract drawings and color paintings,” explains Abeyta,“ . . . multimedia video mapping and projections on immersive domes, on buildings, and then on large dishes.” The artist is considering rolling out this multimedia exhibit on the Very Large Array astronomical radio observatories near Magdalena at a to-be-determined date. Abeyta’s brightly colored textural paintings of New Mexican landscapes are reminiscent of the Taos modernists of the 1940s. In his Santa Fe studio (he also keeps one in Berkeley, California): a 46 x 90" oil of the Grand Canyon.
Calling Abeyta’s work “mixed media” is an understatement. He uses traditional as well as multimedia approaches, and is considering a large-scale projection exhibit at the Very Large Array observatiories.

Three New Mexico Artists, Santa Fe Clay 545 Camino de la Familia santafeclay.com October 30–December 5 Reception October 30 5–7 pm Santa Fe Clay’s new exhibit of works by Eddie Dominguez, Michelle Goodman, and Studio Manager HP Bloomer IV focuses on the artistic interpretations of everyday sights and objects. Bloomer’s teapots, for example, blend his childhood exposure Michelle Goodman, Pink Coily, wire and to art and architecture ceramic, 12 x 7.5 x 5" with complex patterns in soothing earth tones. Goodman’s offbeat wire creations are everything from softly organic to tightly structured, as she draws on objects as varied as fish traps and kitchen utensils. Dominguez’s work has a clearly New Mexico slant; his attention to landscapes and lighting is reflected in the colors he uses in his ceramics. This exhibit opens at Santa Fe Clay on October 30 and runs until December 5.—AM

Also fascinated with seasonal color changes, DeVore says, “I find this time of year particularly complements my use of reds, yellows, oranges, and browns.

here and NOW La Puerta Originals helps NOW display in style
IF YOU BUILD IT, they will come. And indeed they have. Readers of Santa Fean NOW are regularly emptying our new display case at the entrance of Whole Foods Market on Cerrillos Road—and we’re refilling it with fresh copies just as quickly as they’re flying off the shelves. NOW turned to Santa Fe woodworkers La Puerta Originals, who designed and built the multishelf unit that displays not only current and back issue copies of NOW, but other area publications as well. The kiosk, like most of La Puerta’s pieces, is made entirely of reclaimed wood, including Douglas fir from a warehouse building in Northern California and sawtooth detail carvings from Afghanistan. “It’s little touches like that that make the pieces we do highly unique,” says Scott Coleman, La Puerta’s founder and creative director. “Everything today is made out of plywood and pressboard and veneers. When you see something that’s made out of real wood, it usually exceeds your expectations.”—Amy Gross

The display case was a “community effort” utilizing the skills of about a half-dozen people, says Scott Coleman. From a computergenerated design), all of the pieces were milled and assembled, followed by a finish prep and a finish process. The display case, assembled and ready for finishing (shown here) and at right, stained, painted, and clad in chalkboard slates, ready for magazines.

America’s oldest capital city would seem a likely home for the restless undead—and it is. To spot some of these spirits, ghost hunters will need to bring their sixth sense and, perhaps, a guide. Santa Fe local Peter Sinclaire, owner and operator of The Original Santa Fe Ghost Tour, has guided believers and skeptics through Santa Fe in search of the undead for over two decades. In that time, he has gathered and told over two dozen ghost tales, most of which center on a five-block radius of the plaza. “Hundreds of people have told their stories,” said Sinclaire. “A lot of people, when they lose a close loved one, have an experience after the death.” Presences are often seen or felt at the Hotel St. Francis, La Fonda on the Plaza, and La Posada. At the St. Francis, the ghost of a young boy is often heard giggling in the basement, while La Fonda is home to several apparitions. A wailing bride is said to roam the corridors. A failed gambler mourns his own suicide in the hotel’s atrium and wanders the ground floor, perhaps reenacting the last fateful moments of his life. La Posada’s ghost, Julia Staab, may be Santa Fe’s most famous post-living resident. The lady herself died in 1896, only to appear in ghostly form beginning in the 1970s. She is said to be seen in La Posada’s Staab House.
“The Staab House, built in 1882 by local merchant Abraham Staab, my great-great-grandfather, and haunted—allegedly—by his wife Julia, is a beloved institution in Santa Fe and a destination for those who love luxury, lore and local history,” said author Hannah Nordhaus. Her book American Ghost: The True Story of a Family’s Haunted Past, unravels some of the mysteries behind the many ghost sightings in La Posada’s lobby. According to Sinclaire and some staff members at La Posada, a number of mysterious events have followed Julia Staab’s return. Women have reported a presence in the bathroom near the lobby; the toilets overflow without cause; a ghost child calls guest rooms and laughs; and footprints appear on wet tile. The hotel is home to so much supernatural activity that some maids refuse to clean rooms alone. Others have left their employment to escape the otherworldly atmosphere. Those brave enough can venture to La Posada’s Julia Restaurant, where Mrs. Staab herself may join diners for a few spirits. Others can visit the supernatural with Sinclaire, who hosts weekly walks that begin at Hotel St. Francis.– Jason Strykowski The Original Santa Fe Ghost Tour, theoriginalsantafeghosttour.weebly.com, 505-983-7774.
