PUBLISHER’S NOTE
|
ALTHOUGH SANTA FE IS RENOWNED for its arts and culture, a variety of other exciting events happens each week in the City Different. On the musical front this weekend, the New Mexico Jazz Festival presents the Legendary Count Basie Orchestra. As a jazz fan who has experienced this fabulous orchestra firsthand, I strongly recommend it. Also in the music world, the Santa Fe Concert Band (an all-volunteer group that started offering community concerts way back in 1865) is presenting a free midsummer concert, featuring patriotic marches, Broadway show tunes, and classical favorites on July 26 at 2 PM in the park at the old courthouse. That beautiful, historic venue alone makes it worth the effort. The big event this weekend is Spanish Market, our opportunity to experience the exquisite craftsmanship and traditions of Spanish artisans. There is also a wealth of gallery openings Friday night. Don’t miss the contemporary and culinary art—such as what’s happening at GF Contemporary, where Pat Block from Barrio Brinery will be sampling his famous pickles. Yes. Pickles. For those who love outdoor recreation, on July 25, there’s a twilight hike in Cerrillos Hills State Park. Don’t forget the Santa Fe Summer Series Horse Show, a major equestrian event with premium riders and horses from all over the country. It’s also a great excuse to be outside and to be around these beautiful animals. Finally, there are performances of Grease at The Armory for the Arts Theater, a community performance venue on Old Pecos Trail. This is why we love being here. Wherever your mood takes you this week, there’s an exciting and unique activity awaiting your particular taste. Hopefully, this will take you in several different directions.

O’Keeffe Home and Studio Tour
The living room of the Georgia O’Keeffe House in Abiquiu.
Through November 25, Georgia O’Keeffe aficionados can have a glimpse into the beloved artist’s life via guided tours of her Abiquiu home and studio. In 1945, O’Keeffe bought a compound on a bluff overlooking the valleys and mountains that she would paint exhaustively for the next 35 years; tour-goers will appreciate the inspiration the iconic modern artist found in the stunning landscape of the area. O’Keeffe and her staff used existing water rights and terraced gardens to create a vibrant estate surrounding the home on four acres. O’Keeffe went so far as to have the gnarly sage bushes sculpted into bonsai tree shapes, which are still maintained today. Much of the adobe structure, originally constructed in 1740, was preserved and restored over the years, and although some areas are not accessible during the tours (such as O’Keeffe’s library collection, which includes first editions that are protected from light exposure), the home is maintained as it was during O’Keeffe’s time there. Her kitchen shelves, for example, are lined with hand-labeled screw top jars filled with cooking herbs she gathered. Until she was 96 years old, O’Keeffe spent countless hours painting in her studio and appreciating the view from the expansive windows of her adjoining bedroom. As her eyesight failed in her 80s, she had a lightcolored rug installed in the studio to contrast with the dark fur of her pair of Chow dogs so she could see their shapes better. This must-see tour fills months in advance, but is well worth the wait— and the drive from Santa Fe.—Cristina Olds © Georgia O’Keeffe Museum
Nacha Mendez, Santa Fe’s beloved diva of Latin world music, performs from the Chavela Vargas songbook on July 25 in a benefit concert to support the Mesa Prieta Petroglyph Project, a nonprofit organization that records and preserves 75,000 petroglyphs on Mesa Prieta. Costa Rican-born Vargas (1919–2012) was known for her gut-wrenching, passion-filled renditions of traditional rancheras from her adopted country of Mexico. The singer was also famously passionate in her personal life, mixing with notable contemporaries like Frida Kahlo and Lola Beltrán. Mendez grew up singing rancheras with her family in southern New Mexico and went on to study and perform classical music, flamenco guitar, and opera internationally. Among other accolades, she won Best Latin Production at the New Mexico Music Awards in 2013. On Saturday, expect Mendez to perform popular rancheras such as Volver, Volver and Paloma Blanca accompanied by musicians Carla Kountoupes, Chase Morrison, and Jesus Gachupin. Before the show, at 6 pm, participants can enjoy a silent auction soiree with beer and wine while bidding on art, jewelry, gift certificates, and more. —Cristina Olds

IAIA Writers Festival 2015
John Rangel & Barbara Bentree Ten years ago, jazz pianist John Rangel and his wife, vocalist Barbara Bentree, moved from Los Angeles to New Mexico. “We actually just came to visit a friend for the summer,” Rangel says. “We both fell in love with Santa Fe and decided not to leave.” On July 25, the duo performs at Pranzo Italian Grill—a venue with a “very good piano and a nice PA system,” according to Rangel. “Our audience can expect a high level of musical communication; both voice and piano are equally important to the conversation. There is deep reservoir of experience to draw from because of our many years together.” Although Rangel and Bentree have a set list—selections from the American Songbook—they will make adjustments based on audience response. “John is truly a world-class pianist,” says acclaimed Broadway pianist David Geist, who also plays at Pranzo. “The mediums of cabaret and jazz have always overlapped, and John’s musical finesse is a perfect blend of both these styles.”—Whitney Spivey John Rangel and Barbara Bentree, July 25, 6–9 pm, free, Pranzo Italian Grill,540 Montezuma, pranzosantafe.com 4

Back by popular demand, the Institute for American Indian Arts Writers Festival once again delivers a long list of notable contemporary Native American authors to the stage from July 25–August 1. Poets, screenwriters, and fiction and nonfiction authors will conduct readings in the institute’s 280-seat auditorium and teach workshops on campus as part of the 70-student Low Residency MFA in Creative Writing. “We have had great writers reading at the Institute for more than 25 years, but this festival takes it to a new level,” says Jon Davis, the creator, director, and organizer of the low residency program. “A year ago, we were forced to move the readings out of the small common room we traditionally used into the auditorium, and attendance has been steady, between 150–300 people each night.” Started in 2013 with the launch of the new MFA program, the Writers Festival has welcomed highly popular authors such as Sherman Alexie and Joy Harjo. This year, the program features more than 25 renowned national and local writers on the agenda, including Pam Houston, faculty member and author of the novel Contents May Have Shifted; nonfiction author John D’Agata; and poet, fiction, and nonfiction author Linda Hogan. New this year, Imperial Dreams, a film made from a screenplay by presenter Ismet Prcic, will be screened; and songwriter Peter Mimmelman will offer songwriting workshops. The Native women authors of the recently released poetry anthology, Effigies II, will also be celebrated during the festival.—Cristina Olds

Contemporary fresh takes on traditional arts Hispanic Market by Cri stina Olds
Artists such as Angie Casias (top) and Julian Romero will discuss and sell their work at CHM. 14
santafeanNOW.com
NOW IN ITS 29th year, the Contemporary Hispanic Market (CHM) once again presents the non-traditional side of many age-old art forms. For a sneak peek and to honor the many award winners, check out the free preview event on July 24 from 5:30–8 pm at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. Through a jury of their peers, 134 artists were chosen to show this year. Their work spans a variety of genres, from mixed media to fused glass to recycled art. More traditional categories are also represented, such as acrylic, pastel, jewelry, and furniture; with jury approval, one artist may show different media. Julian Romero, public relations spokesperson for the Market, shows in the wood, sculpture, and printmaking categories. He said visitors to both the traditional Spanish Market and the CHM tell him that they prefer the range of styles and the variety of categories from the contemporary artists. “The traditional artists are more limited,” Romero says, “and of course some
[subjects] cross from traditional to contemporary, like Our Lady of Guadalupe—she’s forever!” Art collectors and aficionados have the opportunity to ask questions directly of the people creating the pieces they’re buying. The artists take home 100 percent of the proceeds from their sales during the Market. This year’s chosen poster artwork is by Albuquerque woodblock printmaker Alfred Ancheta. Signed copies of the posters, along with other branded merchandise for sale, and a silent auction fundraiser will be available at the Market booth during the two-day event. Every few years, the Market artists’ work is reevaluated to ensure ongoing quality, and each year several new artists join the lineup. “We have some artists showing who have been in the Contemporary Hispanic Market the entire 29 years,” says Romero, “like [CHM past president and oil painter] Judy Ortiz, who was one of the original founders.” Contemporary Hispanic Market, July 25–26, 8 am–5 pm, free, Lincoln Ave, contemporaryhispanicmarketinc.com
Spanish Market
by Cri stina Olds
KAREN SCHULD
Celebrating Spanish arts in the Plaza NOTHING REPRESENTS SANTA FE’S HISTORY, art, and culture quite like the summer arts markets. Started in 1926 with a few artists vending their handmade crafts under a portal at the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Spanish Market continues as a vital part of the Santa Fe arts scene, with 230 artists participating this year. On July 25 and 26, an anticipated 70,000 visitors will pack the booth-lined Santa Fe Plaza to sample from colcha embroidery, furniture, leatherwork, tinwork, weavings, carvings, fine art, and much more. The two-day event also includes traditional cuisine and live entertainment. “Bombarded as we are with all the other things that happen in Santa Fe in the 21st century, let’s not forget that it was these cultures, and these markets (along with the outstanding northern New Mexican natural environment) that started the phenomenon that is Santa Fe!” says David Setford, Executive Director of Spanish Colonial Arts Society, which sponsors the Spanish Market. “And we continue to be unique in that we are the only Market where more than 98 percent of the economic impact—more than $26 million in 2012—stays right here in New Mexico.” The Spanish Colonial Arts Society, founded in 1925 by writer Mary Austin with writer and artist Frank Applegate, preserves and perpetuates Hispano artistic traditions in New Mexico that have existed since Spain colonized the region in 1589. The Society manages the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, sponsors summer and winter Spanish Markets, and offers a range of educational outreach programs. During the week leading up to the Market, a series of events called “¡Viva la Cultura!” celebrates the Spanish culture and includes performances by Entreflamenco, Spanish films, and a concert by the Chicago Arts Orchestra. “A lot of the artistic highlights [of the week of Spanish Market] are secrets, so even I don’t know about them as of yet,” says Setford. “What I can say is that the procession with the new archbishop, the Most Reverend John Wester, is much anticipated, and of course the elegant new venue for the Market Preview (July 24 at the Eldorado Hotel) is a big change.” He also notes silversmith Lawrence Baca will be recognized as this year’s Masters Lifetime Achievement Award Winner. A very important aspect of the Market is the collection of young artists aged 7 to 17 years, who have been mentored by adult artists in their chosen art form. “If our grandchildren are all going to Spanish Market in 50 years, it’s because the traditions are handed down in this way, and the young artists see that there is in fact a good life to be made out of being an artist,” Setford adds.

Homemade scones (regular and gluten free) with lemon curd and clotted cream are made fresh in-house daily.
With more than 175 tea varieties from all over the world, no one leaves The Teahouse thirsty (or hungry for that matter—the Canyon Road eatery also serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner). In addition to the ginger green tea macha latte pictured here, the menu includes white, herbal, Ayurvedic/healing, chai, Chinese, and Japanese teas, just to name a few. The super popular antioxidant macha tea can be prepared several ways: like an Americano with 10 ounces of water, like an espresso with 2–3 ounces of water, as a latte with steamed milk, or flavored with cane sugar, ginger, or white chocolate. And don’t forget about cold tea. “We offer an iced tea of the day, both black and herbal,” says owner Rich Freedman. “We’ll prepare any teas iced-to-order.”—Cristina Olds 821 Canyon, teahousesantafe.com

Two Le Cordon Bleu chefs, Tomas Allen Keller and Brian Muller, prepare Galisteo Bistro’s beef, game, and seafood entrees in fresh and innovative ways. The yellowtail fillet pictured here, for example, is marinated and grilled in a house-specialty mirin and miso reduction; that is, a sweet Japanese rice wine and fermented soybean paste. “It also has vegetable stock and some brown sugar and maple syrup,” Muller says. “It adds a little sweetness to the salty miso to balance it out.” Served with its crispy skin on, the fillet is garnished with charred kale caramelized with butter, salt, and garlic on the side. “The yellowtail is a white fish that’s flaky and mild, very delicious,” Muller says. Called “hamachi” (the Japanese name for Pacific yellowtail) on the menu, this rich and buttery fish is similar to tuna and is a favorite in sushi bars. —Cristina Olds Galisteo Bistro, 227 Galisteo, galisteobistro.com

Suzanne Donazetti moved from Maryland to southern New Mexico last year and has been experimenting with different colors that reflect the landscape around her Carrizozo home. “The Valley of Fires is on the edge of town, and I often go there at different times of the day for inspiration,” she says. “I mix my colors with inks, liquid acrylics, and interference powders and have been influenced by the clear light and long views.” Donazetti’s recent work—paintings and weavings on metal—will be shown at Waxlander from July
21–August 3. “It’s the first time in a nearly 30-year career making art that I have felt like part of a family who are dedicated to representing and selling my work to perfection,” she says of the gallery. “I love being represented by Waxlander because they are so good to me.”—Whitney Spivey

Arthur Lopez
the contemporary wood sculptor reinterprets traditional icons Saint Christopher’s Beach Cruiser is a commissioned work in progress. A micro gauge tool is used to carve fine details.
The hand-carved and painted wood saints, crosses, and altars by Santa Fean Arthur Lopez are irreverent interpretations of traditional themes with a contemporary twist. A carved milk carton with a missing child announcement is titled El Niño Perdido, and a statue of a hippie version of Our Lady of Guadalupe (currently on display at the Museum of International Folk Art) is called Mary Jane Magdalena. For his 16th year showing santos, bultos, and retablos at Spanish Market, Lopez will enter a carving of Jesus and a lowrider truck (below). Last year he won second place in the painted bultos category. He’s exhibited internationally, and recently received a 2015 Mayor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts. Lopez is represented locally at Manitou Galleries.—Cristina Olds artlopezart.com
Lopez carves details into the statues after shaping them but before sanding, gessoing, painting, sealing, and waxing.

WEI LOVES THE LOOK AND FEEL of rural America and expresses his impressions of twisty country roads, farmsteads and old classic pickup trucks through imaginative and colorful paintings. “It’s not just about seeing the landscape, but also about feeling the sunlight, smelling the air, even interacting with people and understanding their daily life,” he says, as translated by his wife, Hsuan Lin. Fifteen paintings, including several inspired by New Mexico’s landscape with its traditional adobe structures, are featured in Wei’s solo show, Broken Boundaries, at Manitou Galleries’ Canyon Road location, beginning July 24. Wei made his first visit to Santa Fe 25 years ago and has been drawn to the City Different on many occasions. Since becoming familiar with the heart and spirit of a place is essential to his work, he has to spend considerable time in each location. “Z. Z. Wei is well known for his evocative landscapes of rural America and the American Southwest,” says Manitou Galleries’ marketing director Matthew Mullins. “Wei’s paintings powerfully represent the sense of stillness and solitude that one experiences while traveling through these vast landscapes. His paintings capture a sense of flux and slowly-passing time that can be seen through a creeping shadow, a crumbling adobe wall and a forgotten highway that rolls toward the horizon.” Born in Beijing in 1957, Wei started painting during the years of the Cultural Revolution. He graduated from The Central Institute of Arts and Design (now The Academy of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University) in 1984. By the age of 30, he had two exhibitions at the China National Museum of Fine Arts. Wei experienced rural America for the first time when he was invited by the Washington State Centennial Commission in 1989 to participate in the Pacific Rim Cultural Connection Project and to be a resident artist at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. He was enthralled by the beauty around him and decided to settle in the Seattle area. “With nature, mankind and their interaction and relationship, there are so many stories to tell and so many different ways of telling them,” he says. “What’s most fascinating about painting for me are the endless possibilities.” Painting is much more than a career for Wei. It’s a way of life. “I don’t intentionally change what I do, but as I grow older and see and experience more, I believe changes occur,” he adds. “Some might be obvious, like subject matter; some might be subtle and subconscious.” Broken Boundaries, July 24–August 7, reception July 24, 5–7:30 pm, free, Manitou Galleries, 225 Canyon, manitougalleries.com

Release Paige Bradley’s sculptures reveal power of emotions In sculptor Paige Bradley’s eyes, the human figure is the perfect vehicle for communicating the human condition. Bradley doesn’t sugarcoat her forms. “Paige is about the nitty-gritty; presenting things as they are,” says Bella Gaspich, art director of Greenberg Fine Art. “Her sculptures feel real when you experience them in person, as if they could stretch right out and become real people.” Release: A World Premiere is Bradley’s show at Greenberg Fine Art, with an opening reception Friday, July 24, 5–7 pm, closing August 6. The centerpiece of the exhibit is the new life-size version of her sculpture Release, which shows a woman with outstretched arms, her eyes looking toward the sky. Release is one of nearly a dozen works from Bradley’s four series entitled fragments; dancers; goddess; and metamorphosis, which will be featured during the show. Another important work is Expansion, a bronze illuminated with LED lights that Gaspich calls “the hottest sculpture in Santa Fe.” –Emily Van Cleve Release: A World Premiere, July 24–August 6, reception July 24, 5–7 pm, free, Greenberg Fine Art, 205 Canyon, greenbergfineart.com Release in progress

C olom bi a n a rti s t Guilloume shows at Pip p i n Con te mpora r y BOLISMO IS A TERM THAT PAINTER and sculptor Guilloume PerezZapata invented to describe his artistic style. It refers to playing with circles— and within them textures and shadings—as the basis of work that expresses relationships and a vast range of human feelings through simplistic forms. “Through this style, I am able to convey the love I feel for my family and friends,” says the artist, who goes only by his first name. “These simple forms, faceless yet full of expression, demonstrate the relationships all of us have with those around us.” Although Guilloume’s creative process is intuitive, there’s usually a story behind each work. He starts by sketching an idea in ink. With pen in hand, he might start thinking about an experience with family or friends, or simply allow his subconscious to direct his movements. Although he believes his visual images communicate his ideas, he’s comfortable conversing with viewers about the thoughts behind each piece. “I explore the depths of complex yet simple relationships; those of lovers, parents, friends, acquaintances, the interactions we have on a daily basis,” he says. “I am blessed to experience the richness of these personal relationships in my life and to impart their importance through my art.” Born the 19th of 20 children in Colombia’s second largest city, Medellín, Guilloume attended art school in his hometown and learned to work with charcoal, pencil, ink, watercolor, pastel, and oils. After meeting his wife, Gladys, in 1984, he decided to move to the U.S. to join most of his family. The couple spent a few years in Los Angeles before settling in Sandia Park outside Albuquerque, New Mexico, where his 4,000 square foot studio is also located. Pippin Contemporary displays 25 of Guilloume’s latest paintings, bronze relief wall pieces and bronze sculptures in his solo show Diverse Communities, which runs through July 31. Some of the pieces focus on relationships between two individuals, while others portray large group celebrations. “Guilloume’s fluid bronze sculptures and minimalist oil paintings are passionate expressions of relationships in the artist’s life, from brief

interactions with strangers to personal moments with loved ones,” says the gallery’s marketing director Kelly Skeen. “We love to see people connect with his work in the gallery through his personal narratives that go along with each piece. These stories add an intimacy to the work, and in turn create a special connection with the collector.” Diverse Communities, July 17–31, reception July 24, 5–7 pm, free, Pippin Contemporary, 200 Canyon, pippincontemporary.com July 23, 2015 NOW 25
Victoria Adams
“Watching the birds inspired me to make these bird nest baskets,” Adams says. “I had to train myself to become wild instead of forming the materials into more human forms like most baskets.”
For the past 35 years, Victoria Adams has lived off the land, so to speak. In her Adams Family Garden business, she sold produce and eggs alongside her husband; the couple also crafted willow furniture. Currently, Adams weaves baskets, which she sells in her Mother Earth Art booth at the Santa Fe Farmers Market. The bird nest baskets pictured here are primarily woven from red willow, but Adams also gathers pine needles, rosemary, and lavender for her stitched “Good Thoughts” baskets, in which she includes little sayings. The self-taught weaver credits Mother Nature as her inspiration and greatest teacher. “I make it a point to give lots of gratitude for all the gifts [Mother Nature] shares with me,” Adams says. “I try to listen to what She tells me.”—Cristina Olds 505-984-2102

Dickman, a former hotshot, spent five seasons fighting wildfires in California.

Kyle Dickman’s National Magazine award-nominated cover story in the November 2013 issue of Outside magazine is now a book. On the Burning Edge: A Fateful Fire and the Men Who Fought It is the true and tragic account of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who died in Arizona’s 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire. “The story was very personal for me because I used to be a hotshot,” says Dickman, who lives in Santa Fe. “The story also had a strong narrative that had lots of natural segues into the bigger picture of firefighting.” Dickman details Granite Mountain’s 2013 season—some of it spent just 60 miles from Santa Fe at the Thompson Ridge Fire—including the crew’s final hours at Yarnell Hill. “The point of the book is to say look, here’s this individual awful tragedy, but in the greater context of fire history, this is one of many,” Dickman says. “Why do young men and women keep dying fighting fires? I wanted to contextualize the tragedy and talk about hopefully how we can prevent this in the future.” Dickman will be at Collected Works on July 23 to talk about On the Burning Edge. But first, he took a moment to speak with Santa Fean Now about the book and wildfires in the Southwest.
JAMES BLACK
Was living in Santa Fe a factor when writing the book? For much of the past decade, the Southwest has been the center for wildland fires in the U.S. We’ve seen some of the biggest fires in the history of wildland firefighting just outside of Santa Fe—Las Conchas, Pacheco, Tres Lagunas, all of those big burns. Wildfires are impossible to ignore when you’re in Santa Fe. What was the role of New Mexico’s Thompson Ridge fire in Granite Mountain’s 2013 season? Most hotshot crews tend to have a fire like that, where all the men coalesce and they figure out the kinks and how to work together as a unit. I think Thompson Ridge, where they were working to save historic buildings [in the Valles Caldera], was really the fire that did it for the crew. Before they went into that fire, they had very little experience on big active blazes, but when they left, they really felt like a unit. They went through quite a bit of turmoil in a little bit of time. What can Santa Feans do to protect their homes from wildfires? For homeowners, especially those who live up on the flanks of Atalaya or up the ski basin road or anywhere in the wildland-urban interface, people need to be proactive about preparing for fires, and that means creating defensible space—using chainsaws and chippers to thin the brush out from around their houses so. There’s a lot of evidence to suggest that preparing homes for fires rather than reacting to fires is actually a more successful tactic for keeping homes standing through fires.

The sweet replicas of the scientist (they’re $600 for a two-foot-tall statue or $105 for a bust) are only a small part of what Chocolate + Cashmere has to offer. “Coming into our store is a sexy, sensual, and cultural experience,” Palmer says of her four-room shop, which offers an expansive collection of made-in-Santa Fe Golightly Cashmere, along with gourmet treats from the likes of Albuquerque-based Joliesse and Santa Fe chef Joseph Wrede of the acclaimed culinary pub Joseph’s. “We offer something for everyone,” Palmer notes. “You can spend $2 or $200, and we’re certain you’ll experience something magical, if just for a moment—or for a lifetime. We’re excited about the opportunity to present a culture of quality.” This philosophy is perhaps most apparent in the colorful rows of cashmere that adorn walls, tables, and shelves throughout the store. “Actual cashmere—the stuff we import from Scotland—is Grade A,” Palmer says of her inventory. “It’s taken solely from just one-sixth of the goat’s belly.
