PUBLISHER’S NOTE
|
ART, MUSIC, DANCE—it’s all happening this weekend in Santa Fe. much wider than a line is the second exhibition in SITE Santa Fe’s biennial contemporary art series, SITElines 2016: New Perspectives on the Art of the Americas. This exhibition features over 30 artists from 16 countries. The preview looked magnificent, and you should go. Keep in mind that Friday night is alive with openings all over town, too. This weekend at the Lensic, the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet presents a company premiere and two previously commissioned pieces. This is not your grandmother’s ballet; be prepared to enjoy a tremendous production that uses light and music, combined with dance, to create a visual spectacle. While not a typical ballet fan, I must say there’s never been a performance by Aspen Santa Fe Ballet that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. Have you all made it to the Plaza to catch the fabulous Bandstand music? Each night, Santa Fe residents as well as visitors come to hear the best of our local groups. The crowds and the dancing are typical of our community and how we love to have fun. It’s going on through the summer, so join us!

Santa Fe Opera InstaMeet In the modern world, social media is an ever-changing platform, where experts like Simply Social Media co-owner Amy Tischler can make little hashtags go a long way. Every day, Simply Social Media spreads the word about the City Different, using the Instagram and Twitter handle @SimplySantaFeNM. Thursday night, that handle will give photography and music enthusiasts a closer look at the Santa Fe Opera’s Roméo et Juliette through an InstaMeet. Tischler, who met her partner on Instagram, describes an InstaMeet as “a gathering of Instagrammers at a particular place or location, bringing people from the virtual world together in real life to photograph what’s happening,” with behind-the-scenes access throughout. Open to anyone with an active and public Instagram account, festivities include a tailgate party, a tour of the Santa Fe Opera Grounds, an “Opera Talk” and fight scene demo by stunt coordinators, and exclusive social media seating during the performance. Permission to take photographs is offered only to InstaMeet participants during the event. Tischler sees the Opera as an integral part of the community and is grateful for its assistance. She says, “InstaMeets can help tell a story through social media” creating unique opportunities to experience events in a completely different way.—Elizabeth Sanchez

Kaune’s 120th anniversary celebration
Munson Gallery, among others, has shown visual artist Bev Magennis’s work for 35 years. But the artist was inspired by the land and people of the New Mexico wilderness, and felt she needed to try her hand at something different: writing. This Sunday, Collected Works Bookstore hosts a free and open-to-the-public book signing and reading of Magennis’s debut novel, Alibi Creek. The plot begins with Walker, an exconvict who returns to his family ranch in New Mexico after his time in prison. While struggling with unethical job demands, his sister, Lee Ann, cares for their mother as well as her two sons. The strength of beliefs, identity, and sibling bonds is tested as Walker’s irresponsibility impinges upon Lee Ann’s life, all while Magennis illustrates the importance, artistry, and emotional power of small-town New Mexico.—ES
Co-owner Cheryl Sommer calls Kaune’s Neighborhood Market a “locally-owned boutique market, curating the most indulgent and unexpected finds from local and international sources.” And with 120 years of success, why shouldn’t there be a reason to celebrate? This Saturday afternoon, the last of the five original stores will open its doors on Old Santa Fe Trail for fun and festivities. Various products will be available Carrying everything at tasting tables, along from caviar to with music and giveaways. breakfast cereal, There will be a drawing Kaune’s Neighborhood Market keeps the for door prizes, including town supplied with food items, a golf caddy, luxuries as well T-shirts, a $120 gift as necessities. certificate to Kaune’s, and more. Since Sommer’s father, Sam Pick, is a former mayor of Santa Fe, several political dignitaries have also been invited. Sommer recognizes the competition of large chains and feels it is a landmark for an independent grocer to be in business for so many years. “We, along with all the predecessors who owned it before us, [should] celebrate that achievement,” she says. “We also want to thank our customers and the Santa Fe public in general for supporting the store for all these years.” In her lifetime and beyond, she hopes Kaune’s will flourish, continuing to provide a friendly, comfortable environment with both unique and everyday treasures.—ES

PROFILE
Kurt Markus, Bogner, New York, New York, 1993, toned gelatin silver print, 12 x 10"
Kurt Markus
a presentation of his best images
Kurt Markus never set out to be a fashion photographer. After a stint with the Army, he had a short-lived magazine career at Western Horseman, working on staff under his father-in-law, the publisher. After several chance encounters, and a few unlucky and lucky breaks, Markus returned to his native Montana with his wife and two sons. He set about photographing the ranches and ranch hands of the Western United States. His first book of cowboy images, After Barbed Wire, was published in 1986. Not long after, Levi Strauss & Co. contacted Markus to work on an advertising campaign. They wanted a Westerner to photograph their new cowboy-cut jeans, not a traditional fashion photographer. A new career was born. Markus states, “I believe in the rectangle. Filling that rectangle with a photograph remains the most challenging thing that you can do. Then you print it, sign it, and show it to somebody else. It’s a blank canvas. If you can make a straight photograph, fit it in the rectangle, and make it work, you have accomplished something.” He prints his own black-and-white photos, using a gelatin silver process. VERVE Gallery will host an opening reception, gallery talk with Markus, and an exhibition of his best work, as selected by him.—Amanda Jackson Kurt Markus: The Fashion Years 1987–2014, reception July 15, 5–7 pm, gallery talk July 16, 2 pm, through August 27, VERVE Gallery, 219 E Marcy, vervegallery.com

evolution of SITE Santa Fe reimagined biennial art shows

Takashi Murakami, Hyakki-Yagyou, vinyl, helium, lead, and Corian, 19 x 15 x 8" SITE’s exterior will see a makeover in 2017, orchestrated by New York design outfit SHoP.
Last year marked the 20th anniversary of SITE Santa Fe, the country’s first arts institution founded with the intention of bringing together curators and artists from around the globe for two-year-long exhibitions. “When it started,” says Irene Hofmann, Phillips director and chief curator since 2010, “it was really a bold idea.” In the two decades since, however, the organization’s model has been reproduced many times all over the U.S., so in 2012, SITE established a new vision for its own international biennials: SITElines: New Perspectives on Art of the Americas. “The art world has mostly been focused on an EastWest basis,” explains Hofmann. “We decided to flip that to North-South.” Santa Fe’s multilayered tricultural heritage provides an ideal context for exploring intersections between art and other disciplines, like architecture or anthropology. SITE’s “ongoing relationship to the community,” Hofmann says, “has meant that artists have made work in response to Santa Fe [and the] history here.” In any given exhibition, she adds, roughly 10 to 20 percent of the artists represented are from New Mexico. SITE’s physical space has also evolved in relation to its location in the Railyard District, which has morphed from a cluster of warehouses to a cultural hub. Plans for extensions to the front and back of the building—designed by New York–based SHoP, named the world’s most innovative architecture firm by Fast Company—are scheduled for completion in late 2017; they include an event space that opens up to the Railyard Park and a permanent façade with a dramatically angled prow that could easily become a symbol for contemporary art in Santa Fe.—Eve Tolpa SITElines.2016: much wider than a line, July 16–January 8, 2017, free with admission, SITE Santa Fe, 1606 Paseo de Peralta, sitesantafe.org 12

Rumi Vesselinova OverWrite Catenary Art Gallery 616 1/2 Canyon catenaryartgallery.com Through September 8 Cinderella. Romeo and Juliet. Alice in Wonderland. Many of us know the stories by heart. But Rumi Vesselinova reshapes those memories in a contemporary exhibition that questions how technology has affected our lives and identities by tapping into our childhood nostalgia and platforms of our everyday experiences. With an emphasis on how our devices have triggered narcissism and obsession, the photography uses both the absence and presence of light. Some device screens are glowing centerpieces accompanied by natural light, while others are dark, absorbent voids. The photography includes images of Little Red Riding Hood messaging an online predator, Prince Charming compulsively Googling information on shoes, and Sleeping Beauty awaiting a wake-up call.—Elizabeth Sanchez

Kathy Beekman On Time: Celebrating 10 years with Kathy Beekman Canyon Road Contemporary 403 Canyon canyoncontemporary.com July 15–24 Reception July 15, 5–7 pm Living in Colorado’s vast Rocky Mountain landscape, pastel artist Kathy Beekman finds constant inspiration in her surroundings as well as in her memories. Drawing on recollections of her upbringing in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a small city surrounded by farming communities, the self-taught artist places barns, clouds, streams, and trees into her simplified, dreamy compositions. Celebrating her 10th year of representation at Canyon Road Contemporary during 2016, Beekman says her talent and passion fuel her success. “From the beginning, transforming a piece of paper to reflect my thoughts and feelings has struck me as magical,” she notes. “I love the sense of fulfillment that I get from successfully conveying my emotions onto paper.” She also explains that although her process remains deliberate, her intuitive experience with the work is what truly makes it hers: “[My unconscious] steers my compositions, my color choices, and their placement; and [it] tells me when a painting is finished.”—Stephanie Love

Three years ago, co-owners Adam Hoffberg, his brother Jed Hoffberg, and Christopher Cain brought These octagonal sunglasses have a classic 1960s look. something new to the eyeglass world when they unveiled Ojo Optique. According to Adam Hoffberg, the team wanted to avoid the standard, mass-produced eyeglass frames, and instead offer more spectacular spectacles; thus, Ojo Optique carries “small-batch, independent, familyowned-and-operated brands made by If you want glamor real eyewear designers,” who stress and elegance, these turquoise shades craftsmanship and design over fleeting might fill the bill. fashion. Ojo Optique also seeks both seasoned and upcoming designers’ work while attending various eyewear shows around the world, and focuses on the shop’s and its clients’s needs, not necessarily trends. Ojo Optique’s frame sizes range from child to adult, with classic, conservative looks as well as one-of-a-kind, exclusively made-for-theshop styles by Barton Perreira, Anne et Valentin, L. A. Eyeworks, Theo, and others. Throughout the summer, these designers will hold trunk shows at the shop, showcasing their frames in every available color. These wearable-art pieces are created in titanium, acetate, leather, wood, and stone; there are even 3-D printed frames. Ultimately, says Adam, “[We want our clients] to walk away looking and feeling better than they did when they first came in.” —Elizabeth Sanchez
Touches of Grace Patina Gallery, 131 W Palace, patina-gallery.com July 15–August 14 Reception July 15, 5–7:30 pm Taos artist Gretchen Ewert is no stranger to the outdoors. An avid northern New Mexico hiker, she applies her love for nature to her new mixed media exhibition, Touches of Grace. Her artwork examines the universal connections between man and nature via clay and ink-on-paper works. With a focus on surface, whether it is the fiber in paper or hand-rubbed ceramic finishes, Ewert reinterprets primitive artifacts through clay pieces. She goes over the sculptures with a paintbrush armed with oils and acrylics, later rubbing them with newspaper, creating a clean, sophisticated surface. The show also includes her one-of-a kind pointillist prints, illustrating her passion for textiles. Ewert crafts these by using digital prints of select textiles from her collection, then delicately dotting the paper with pen and ink, defining the material. It appears that, regardless of which piece (or pieces) you love from Ewert’s collection, it was inspired by something she loves, too.—ES
