PUBLISHER’S NOTE

|

WHILE SANTA FE is a very relaxing community with a laid-back attitude and beautiful views to entertain us as we while away the hours, it’s not a resort community where all we do is work on our tans. I’ve found Santa Fe to be an engaging community, where the most fun comes from actually doing something. Examples abound for locals as well as tourists.

Several places offer rather advanced classes in artistic endeavors, such as throwing pots, taking photographs, creating glass designs, making paintings, and more. We’re also full of yoga and Pilates studios and other institutions that enhance our bodies and our physical health.

Whenever friends or business associates are in town, I usually take them on a fairly easy hike, like the Chamisa Trail or any of the Dale Ball trails. Those trails are easy for those who aren’t used to Santa Fe’s high altitude, but they also put Santa Fe in a different light. When viewing our city from the mountains, one starts to realize that the Santa Fe experience isn’t just about eating well and being entertained. Santa Fe is best experienced when you’re actually participating. Some say that looking at art qualifies as participating. I would agree that if you’re actively looking at art, feeling the artists’ motivations and message, you’re actively engaged.

Santa Fe’s many entertaining and often enlightening arts don’t come barreling into your home or hotel room. You actually have to go to them. It’s our hope that within the pages of NOW you’ll be enticed to actively participate in the many engaging experiences that might actually change your life. It starts now.

New Mexico Jazz Festival

Drummer Lewis Nash and guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli are among the six jazz greats performing in Bumble Bee’s Jazz All Stars concert.

This Sunday, six of today’s hottest traditional jazz instrumentalists take to the stage at the Lensic Performing Arts Center to play standards by legendary composers like Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Hoagy Carmichael. The event, called the Bumble Bee’s Jazz All Stars, is part of the 9th annual New Mexico Jazz Festival and was co-organized by Bob Weil, a jazz aficionado and owner of Bumble Bee’s Baja Grill.

On piano is Dick Hyman, who’s recorded more than 100 albums since the 1950s and won Emmy Awards for both composition and musical direction. Guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli has worked with numerous jazz greats, including Les Paul and Benny Goodman, and saxophonist Jimmy Greene has toured and recorded with the likes of Harry Connick Jr. On trumpet is Randy Sandke, whose résumé includes performances with Dizzy Gillespie, while bass player Jay Leonhart has shared the stage with Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Carly Simon, and Sting. Drummer Lewis Nash has played on more than 400 recordings, and he’s collaborated with Oscar Peterson and Diana Krall.

“These are international stars,” says Tom Guralnick, co-director of the New Mexico Jazz Festival. “They have long histories with each other. It’s going to be a great concert featuring tunes they all know and like to play.

You might even get to hear Dick Hyman play a solo by Fats Waller!”

—Emily Van Cleve Bumble Bee’s Jazz All Stars, July 20, 7:30 pm, Lensic Performing Arts Center, $20–$50, ticketssantafe.org July 17, 2014

global warming and maniacs with axes The politics of Snowpiercer aren’t subtle.

It’s 2031. World governments’ collective response to global warming has caused the apocalypse. The world’s only survivors live on a train, which circles frozen-over Earth. The poor live like dogs in the back car, dirty and eating garbage. In the front, the rich get medical care, finely tailored suits, and sushi.

Snowpiercer ends with multiple long speeches about human nature, class, and society.

And that’s OK. It’s great, actually, because here’s what else Snowpiercer has: dozens of ax-wielding maniacs wearing ski masks and night-vision goggles, a perky kindergarten teacher with an Uzi, hallucinatory drugs that double as dynamite, raves, kung fu, and Tilda Swinton being weird.

Snowpiercer is set in a post-apocalyptic society in 2031.

SHOPPING IN SANTA FE

From the time of the ancient Anazasi, 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.

Santa Fe is a top US art center, with museums, shopping, Year-round outdoor activities, top flight restaurants, spas, and world famous cultural events. It’s not just your grandparents’ Santa Fe, it’s walkable, historic, charming, and exciting.

A high desert destination of distinction and fun.

the buzz There have been revolutions before, we learn, but the poor have never even made it to the middle cars. They’re always squashed and sent back. The doors between cars are fortified, and security shoots to kill. This time, though, they have Chris Evans, the actor who plays Captain America in the Avengers movies. They also have the drug addict who designed all the train doors’ locks.

In the world of Snowpiercer, poor people live in the last car of a train, where they’re treated as less than human.

SantaFeDowntown.org Free iPhone and Android app The Best of Santa Fe

Find the best shops, restaurants, galleries, museums, parking locations, turn-by-turn directions, mobile deals, weather, news, and local-events with the free app from the iTunes App Store and from the Android Market.

Look for the green sticker in the window of participating stores.

Unpredictability in a movie is something to be cherished, and there’s a wonderful, uncomfortable uncertainty buzzing off Snowpiercer each time Evans and his dwindling band of impoverished revolutionaries prepare to advance into the next car. This film relishes its mash-up of genres (action, sci-fi, and horror). Odd characters and sets are waiting through each heavy door. So are fights and blood and tears and impossible decisions.

At the front of the train is the engine, watched over by Wilford, the train’s creator. Wilford is a messiah and a monarch, with creepy ideas about how people should live. Swinton plays Mason, Wilford’s representative at the back of the train. When a poor man throws a shoe at her head, she explains that a thrown shoe is disorder. “I am a hat,” she says. “You are shoes. All things in their place, all passengers in their particular, preordained positions. Know your place, keep your place, be a shoe.” Then she has the thrower’s arm stuck outside the train until it freezes and smashes it with a hammer.

Snowpiercer is playing at CCA.—Phil Parker

Juan Siddi Flamenco Santa Fe the renowned ensemble begins a new chapter in its creative life

by Em ily Va n C le ve

THIS WEEK, ACCLAIMED ensemble Juan Siddi Flamenco Santa Fe takes to the stage for the first time since partnering with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet and moving its home base from The Lodge at Santa Fe to The Lensic Performing Arts Center.

JSFSF’s program, which features solos, duets, and ensemble pieces, includes Nataraj: Lord of the Dance, a signature piece for Siddi that traces its stylistic roots to India, and Sabor Havana, which has Cuban influences. The program also includes the world premiere of Segiriya, a work that showcases the talents of dancer Carola Zertuche (artistic director of San Franciso’s Theatre Flamenco), who choreographed the piece with Siddi.

Dancers of Juan Siddi Flamenco Santa Fe

Siddi says he drew inspiration for Segiriya from the cante jondo (deep song) vocal style in flamenco and that the dance is more serious than many of his other works. “This piece is based on traditional songs that have lyrics about subjects like protest, despair, or even a loss or death,” he says. “It’s time for me to present a deeper and more profound group piece. Carola is featured in this particular piece because she’s among the more mature female dancers in the company.”

In addition to Zertuche, dancers Stephanie Narvaez, Eliza

Llewellyn, Illeana Gomez, Radha Garcia, and Emmy Grimm join Siddi on stage in this program, dancing to original live music by JSFSF’s music director and lead guitarist, José Valle Fajardo (aka Chuscales), and wearing costumes designed by Siddi.

Performing at the Lensic provides numerous advantages for the dance troupe in terms of space, location, exposure, and dramatic impact. “I’m taking advantage of the Lensic’s lighting opportunities,” says Siddi, who received the Mayor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2011. “Lighting is important in this show.”

Another advantage of JSFSF’s partnership with ASFB is that the arrangement allows Siddi to focus more on his choreography and less on administrative tasks. “This partnership is a blessing, for which I feel so fortunate,” he says.

Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival the popular annual event kicks off its 42nd season

by Ashley M. Biggers ON JULY 20, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival launches its 42nd season, which features performances by powerhouse pianist Yefim Bronfman as artist-in-residence. “He’s a gigantic player. He makes the biggest sound I’ve ever heard on a piano,” says Marc Neikrug, the festival’s artistic director.

Bronfman makes three festival appearances this summer: in a performance of Brahms’s Piano Quintet in F Minor (August 17); in a solo recital playing Prokofiev’s Piano Sonata No. 6 in A Major (August 19); and in a performance of Beethoven’s Piano Trio in B-flat Major (the “Archduke,” August 21). In his solo recital, Bronfman also plays a piece Neikrug composed for him called Passions, Reflected. “Knowing that he would play it, it allowed me to write a dramatic piece,” Neikrug says. “I knew he would gobble it up and throw it back into the audience.”

In addition to Bronfman’s concerts, the festival, which runs through August 25 and includes concerts in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, offers dozens of programs that feature both established masterworks and exciting new pieces—a blend that’s become a festival hallmark. Neikrug says he tries to program the festival as though he were a DJ with 400 years of music at his fingertips. “I imagine sitting in a little room with, say, 500 CDs. I take one down and play a song, then move on to the next.”

July 20 & 21: Schubert and Brahms: Schubert’s String Trio in B-flat Major, Julian Anderson’s The Bearded Lady, Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor July 22: Jon Nakamatsu Piano Recital: All-Schumann program featuring Widmung (Dedication), arr. Liszt; Papillons; and Carnaval July 22: The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s first-ever Music & Wine Gala, featuring a private performance in St. Francis Auditorium; a four-course dinner with wine pairings under the stars at La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa; a silent auction of fine wines, getaways, and restaurant offers; and a brief live auction For tickets and further information, visit santafechambermusic.com.

Even when programming works by old masters, Neikrug occasionally selects unusual or little-known pieces, as he’s done with two all-Beethoven programs (August 20 and 21). The concerts feature the composer’s last works for each instrument (piano, cello, etc.) and ensemble, including a rarely performed fugue for string quartet. Both performances are preceded by a talk given

by Beethoven scholar William Kinderman.

Original works round out the 2014 playlist. The festival has commissioned more than 60 compositions since 1980, and this year’s audiences can attend the U.S. premiere of a work for string quartet and voice by Australian composer Brett Dean, one of the most internationally performed composers of his generation, and the U.S. premiere of a string quartet by English composer Julian Anderson. American composer Lowell Liebermann’s Four Seasons, scored for winds, strings, piano, and voice, receives its New Mexico premiere.

In addition to the virtue of exposing audiences to new music, Neikrug believes these commissions remind audiences of the vibrancy of composers long past.

“Subconsciously you understand that at one time Mozart and Beethoven were young composers. There’s a tendency to see this like a museum. You forget that composers were not always dead; they were living, creating.”

chocolate ecstasy Santacafé Executive Chef Fernando Ruiz has brought his own personal touches to the restaurant’s popular and mouth-watering chocolate mousse, originally created by Pastry Chef Rosa Lemus. At a chocolate challenge sponsored by La Familia Medical Center in March, the decadent dessert won First Place and VIP Choice awards.

“To make the teardrop shape, we temper melted Belgian dark chocolate on a strip of acetate and fold the ends together,” Ruiz says. The airy, milk chocolate mousse is added after the shells set, and then the form is chilled for 24 hours. “It’s the same temperature as your lips when served,” Ruiz notes. A caramelized pineapple glaze and a blood orange sauce add a subtle fruity essence as well as a striking blaze of color. To top things off, a dollop of whipped cream with Grand Marnier is dusted with Chimayó red-chile candied pecans. The dessert is so popular and so satisfying that “some people eat only this and don’t order a meal,” Ruiz says.—Cristina Olds Santacafé, 231 Washington, santacafe.com

Lacking formal art training, Bryce Cameron Liston learned about painting from, interestingly, a master sculptor.

Perhaps it was Edward J. Fraughton’s appreciation of the human form that passed to his oil-painter pupil; Liston’s delicate, almost touchable portraits of people, children, and nudes have a rich, three-dimensional quality. “When I paint, I search for timelessness,” says Liston. “My focus is mostly mood, to impart more atmosphere in the painting. These pieces are softer, more muted.” Liston’s solo show at Sage Creek Gallery, Seasons of Beauty (through July 30, 421 Canyon, sagecreekgallery .com) comprises more than 15 new pieces, including Descending Sun, which features one of his three daughters.

from the land to the table

artist Kathleen Wall celebrates Native American harvest traditions

by Don na Sch i lli nge r

DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT the journey your food took to go from field to plate? It’s precisely this fundamental transition—the harvest—that’s at the center of a new exhibition of paintings and clay sculptures at the Pablita Velarde Museum of Indian Women in the Arts (PVMIWA) in Santa Fe. Part ethnography, part social statement, Harvesting Traditions, which features works by Jemez Pueblo artist Kathleen Wall, who also curated the exhibition with Marth Becktell and Marita Hinds, seeks to educate visitors about traditional Native American food ways and to create awareness about our current practices. “By introducing the traditional knowledge, I’m hoping to open up the conversation about what we do today,” Wall says.

An outgrowth of Wall’s senior thesis at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Harvesting Traditions explores the way Native Americans used to—and still do—harvest, gather, grow, and hunt their food in a traditional manner.

The artist researched each scene depicted in her pottery for this show, and many evoke long-forgotten customs. “A Pueblo farming scene of a woman harvesting cactus fruit doesn’t fit in our world anymore,” Wall says. “But it can be the impetus for conversations about our present habits,” she adds. “Are we eating foods that our bodies are used to eating? Are we harvesting locally? How can we grow our own food? Do we even know where to get truly healthy food? All of these questions we ask with the ultimate goal of better health.”

The very embodiment of a successful synthesis of the traditional and the modern, Wall is best known for her Native pottery figures. Although she began her artistic journey making storytellers, she always knew she would eventually move beyond the traditional art she was taught.

During her late teens, Wall’s works became more figurative.

“I was a young girl in the midst of something I had a passion for,” she has said.

To continue the conversation about past and present food-centered culture and customs, PVMIWA will host a monthly series, Noonday Dialogue at the Pablita, from 1 to 3 pm on the following dates: July 24: Onion Harvest (Victor Wildcat, Cherokee); August 28: Harvesting Traditions (Wall); September 25: Pueblo Farming (Justin Casiquito, Jemez); October 23: Corn Grinding (Lois Ellen Frank, Kiowa); and November 28: Indigenous Diet (Chastity Sandoval Swentzell, Diné).

New Perspectives on Art of the Americas SITE Santa Fe’s six-year-long exhibition series gets underway with Unsettled Landscapes

by Em ily V an C le ve

THIS WEEK, SITE Santa Fe rolls out its new biennial exhibition series called SITElines: New Perspectives on Art of the Americas, a six-year commitment that comprises additional biennials in 2014, 2016, and 2018, all of which focus on contemporary art and culture of the Americas.

The first exhibition in the series, Above: Patrick Nagatani, Bida Hi/Opposite Views, Northeast.

Navajo Tract Homes and Uranium Tailings Southwest. Shiprock, New Mexico, 1990. Chromogenic print, 28 x 36". Left: Liz Cohen, Rio Grande, c-print, 50 x 60".

“I think viewers will be surprised by the diversity of what’s represented and perhaps see art production in the Western Hemisphere differently,” says curator Candice Hopkins.

Unsettled Landscapes, includes works by 45 artists and artists’ collaboratives that address the interconnections between representations of the land, movement across the land, and economies and resources derived from the land. Curators Candice Hopkins, Luciá Sanromán, Janet Dees, and SITElines director Irene Hofmann worked with a group of curatorial advisors to select artists from 16 countries throughout the Americas.

The exhibition includes photography, video installations, paintings, sculptures and large-scale installations (including 13 new commissions) set up at SITE Santa Fe

and a few off-site locations like Railyard Park, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Santa Clara Pueblo, and the country of Suriname. Among the projects in the show are collaged images by Patrick Nagatani from his Nuclear Enchantment series, which centers on New Mexico’s nuclear history, and photos and videos by Kevin Schmidt that focus on how global warming may impact the Northwest Passage.

Events marking the opening of Unsettled Landscapes are a Thursday night “first look” cocktail party, exhibition preview, and gala dinner. A preview party for SITE Santa Fe members is one of Friday’s highlights, while Saturday’s offerings include a moderated dialogue called Confronting Paradise: Land and Landscape in the Caribbean in addition to the exhibit’s public opening.

“I am deeply excited to see all of the outstanding works brought together, from artists from the Arctic all the way down to the southern tip of the Americas,” says curator Candice Hopkins. “I think viewers will be surprised by the diversity of what’s represented and perhaps see art production in the Western Hemisphere differently.”

Ionescu, who is also a jeweler, sometimes incorporates silver and gold inlays into her work—which, as she puts it, deals with everyday situations from a “point of view that is a little bit skewed.”—ET

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Margarete Bagshaw Clearly in the prime of her creative life, Margarete Bagshaw paints big. And bigger.

Gazing at a 2 x 3' canvas from her recent past, she shakes her head. “I can’t go back there,” she says. Her latest work is a 12 x 7' piece—an oil painting that found a buyer even before its concept took form. Consider Bagshaw’s DNA: She’s the daughter of Helen Hardin and the granddaughter of Pablita Velarde, two of the most important painters in the history of Native arts. But Bagshaw’s Santa Fe–based work dances down a defiantly modernist path, unique unto her. “Spatial composition with an essence of spirituality” kick-starts her definition. From there, a limitless palette offers itself to a wonderland of abstract dreams conjured into life—a kaleidoscope of katsinas, mermaids, dinosaurs, and more. You can’t just look. You must listen.—Kate Nelson Golden Dawn Gallery, goldendawngallery.com Margarete Bagshaw, Circles Dancing in 4/Ever Time, oil on Belgian linen, 60 x 40" 24

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Truitt studied psychology at Bryn Mawr College and treated shell-shocked soldiers in a Boston hospital before she enrolled in Washington, D.C.’s Institute of Contemporary Art in 1948. Her paintings are striking for their deliberate colors and forms, and for the layers of emotions and experiences they evoke or bring to the surface. “Once it had occurred to me that I could use color metaphorically for content,” Truitt said, “I realized that I could go ahead with new freedom.”

Santa Fe painter and book artist Patty Hammarstedt began her career as a calligrapher but soon found that the perfect letters she created didn’t evoke the emotion of the words she was writing. Today the artist blends abstract painting with poetry— sometimes her own, sometimes that of local poets such as Renee Gregorio—purposefully concealing text that may be large and loose or tight and refined, depending on the intended message. “I want it to be a surprise,” Hammarstedt says. “I love that little bit of mystery in a painting.” Hammarstedt’s work is currently featured in a group show, In the Mood, at ViVO Contemporary on Canyon Road, which runs through September 2.—AMB ViVO Contemporary, vivocontemporary.com

thorns and all the Cactus Rescue Project is on a mission of education and preservation

The rare—and endangered— Santa Fe cholla is a major focus of the Cactus Rescue Project.

The Cactus Rescue Project creates cactus gardens around Santa Fe.

style style

OFTEN PLAYING TO PACKED rooms of 30 to 50 people or more, John “Obie” Oberhausen enthusiastically proselytizes about his favorite subject: cactus.

He’s on a relentless mission to convert traditional landscaping and empty spaces throughout Santa Fe with xeric, low- to zero-maintenance cactus gardens.

“Obie has a cult following,” quips Joe Newman, Oberhausen’s partner in cactus collecting and co-founder of the Cactus Rescue Project. Newman makes the remark in semi-jest, but Oberhausen’s audience on a Saturday afternoon at Vista Grande Public Library in Eldorado is rapt, oohing and aahing throughout a PowerPoint presentation on the many varieties of cactus native to the Southwest and Northern New Mexico, including the rare—and endangered— Santa Fe cholla (Opuntia viridiflora).

Not to be confused with the ubiquitous regional tree cholla, the Santa Fe cholla is smaller and more compact, bushy rather than tall, “with a flower that ranges from a salmon to a bronze orange color,” says Oberhausen. Nancy Lehrhaupt, Oberhausen’s wife and the Cactus Rescue Project’s third partner, notes that you’re not likely to find Santa Fe cholla in your yard.

“It’s only been documented in something like five areas in Santa Fe,” she says. Which is why, Oberhausen and Newman say, they decided it needed to be rescued.

They founded the Cactus Rescue Project in 2004 primarily to help propagate the Santa Fe cholla, but over the years the project has become an important vehicle for educating homeowners and gardeners about the benefits of cactus The Cactus Rescue Project has versus traditional become an important vehicle gardening. Minimal watering and the for educating homeowners and ability to turn largely gardeners about the benefits of untillable spaces into colorful oases are cactus versus traditional gardening. obvious pluses.

The team has created cactus gardens around Santa Fe, including in Eldorado, the community they’re rapidly turning into “cactus central.” The once-barren median leading into Eldorado on Avenida Vista Grande was adopted by the project. Larger cactus gardens can be found at the La Tienda shopping center and the Eldorado Community Improvement Association’s headquarters. The team also collects and removes what they winkingly call “more adoptable” cacti from construction sites (with permission, of course), which are then replanted.

The Cactus Rescue Project’s next educational opportunity is a Propagation and Cutting Class, being held at 10 am on July 20 at La Tienda in Eldorado. Participants will be able to take cuttings home with them—including some of the more prized varieties—to kick-start beautiful, xeric cactus gardens in their own backyards.

New Mexico has been producing wine for more than 400 years, ever since Spanish monks began holding mass that called for the sacramental beverage. In more recent decades, the vineyards dotting our high desert landscape have been producing a diversity of grapes, and on July 5 and 6, 17 New Mexico wineries offered samples of Malbec, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, and more at the 21st annual Santa Fe Wine Festival. From Las Cruces (Amaro Winery) to Corrales (Acequia Vineyards & Winery) and Taos (Black Mesa Winery), purveyors poured their libations from their open-air booths at El Rancho de las Golondrinas.

Besides the flowing wine samples, arts and crafts booths, food vendors, and live music were also enjoyed by all.—Cristina Olds
