PUBLISHER’S NOTE
|
WHETHER OR NOT you’re an opera lover, there’s no question that the Santa Fe Opera is a world-renowned and iconic destination for so many who live in and visit our community. The organization does a wonderful job of sharing the magical world of drama and passion—and even laughter—set to powerful music. My friends in faraway places such as New York City and Heidelberg, Germany, are united in their praise of the Santa Fe Opera. Among aficionados, the company is a highly respected one, known for staging unique, top-quality productions. Our opera has also distinguished itself by bringing some of the world’s top vocal talent to Santa Fe. All this, and we haven’t even spoken about the wonderful facility that houses the company and provides a setting like no other in the world. The views alone—especially the sunsets—are spectacular and are worth the price of admission. The opening night of the Santa Fe Opera is also the kick-off to high season for the city as a whole. To make sure you can take advantage of that, all summer we will provide up-to-date listings of the great things happening in Santa Fe. The biggest challenge will be for you to decide which of the many activities to participate in. NOW magazine is created with the sole mission of assisting you in the process. Your difficult decisions begin when you turn the page and begin to see all that’s going on this weekend. Have fun!

How does one celebrate Independence Day in America’s oldest capital city? For the past four decades, locals and tourists alike have raised a glass (of orange juice) to the good old USA at Pancakes on the Plaza. Hosted by the Rotary Club of Santa Fe, the event usually draws more than 9,000 guests, who flock to the heart of town to enjoy not only breakfast, but also a car show, silent auction, arts and crafts show, and live music. And although events run throughout the day (breakfast, however, only lasts until noon), we recommend arriving by 8 am to catch the opening ceremony, which includes a presentation of the flags, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the National Anthem.

citizenship ceremony New Mexicans might not have access to fireworks on the National Mall or a view of the Statue of Liberty, but we can celebrate Independence Day in a way that’s all our own. Each Fourth of July, Bandelier National Monument (48 miles northwest of the Plaza) holds a naturalization ceremony for approximately 15 people who will take the oath of U.S. citizenship. Bandelier is one of only 11 national parks to host citizenship ceremonies this year, and the only park to do so on the Fourth of July. The event is “an opportunity for new citizens to have such a wonderful place and experience for their ceremony (a lot of times it’s usually done in an auditorium in Albuquerque),” says Bandelier superintendent Jason Lott. “For years and years, their families and their descendants will be able to come back to Bandelier and say ‘this is where Mom or Grandpa, or whoever became a citizen.’” The event, which is open to the public, is also an “opportunity for the rest of us to reaffirm ourselves as citizens of this country,” according to Lott.—Whitney Spivey Citizenship Ceremony, July 4, 11 am, $12 per vehicle, Bandelier National Monument, 15 Entrance, Los Alamos, nps.gov/band 4

Tomorrowland: The protagonist asks, “Can we fix it?“ and so does reviewer Phil Parker.
WALT DISNEY PICTURES, A113, BABIEKA
Pancakes on the Plaza
just shut up, Tomorrowland Tomorrowland begs for optimism. We see its highschool hero, Casey, go from class to class; the threat of terrorism is discussed in one; in another it’s global warming. In English class, students read Orwell’s 1984, Huxley’s Brave New World, and Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, each novel set in a terrifying dystopia. “Can we fix it?” Casey asks her teachers. They’ve got nothing in response. It’s a sweet idea but gets no extra credit for earnestness. Tomorrowland is a mawkish waste of two hours. Director Brad Bird has created a PG-rated potential blockbuster, energized by hope, but he forgot to make it any good. Bird’s already proven himself a maestro of kinesis in films such as Ratatouille and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, but the action scenes in Tomorrowland are short, loud, and lacking his characteristic cleverness. Bird also showed he could make a light, sweet and highly successful film by directing The Incredibles, a fantastic, pure action movie. Tomorrowland is, then, a step backward for such a talented filmmaker. The story’s prevailing idea is that mankind’s demise is a self-fulfilling prophecy. But 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451 were meant as warnings. That’s why they exist. George Orwell’s concern about the future led him to devise a rich love story and let it be shattered by political insanity. In fact, the characters in Tomorrowland repeatedly reference the need to move away from politics if we’re to craft a bright future. But it’s only a shallow touch. Tomorrowland’s people believe fixing the planet is an act of personal will; that we need only decide to be helpful, and our problems will be solved. That’s simplistic and stupid. Even if Bird’s sermon were exactly correct about saving ourselves, this is still a bad movie. There’s constant exposition; and strange flashbacks muddle a plot that wastes the entire first hour. The machine they destroy in the climax is never explained—unless I just missed it because I’d stopped paying attention.—Phil Parker

Entreflamenco dancers Antonio Granjero and Estefania Ramirez perform nightly by Elizabet h Sa nchez
Founded in 1998, Entreflamenco has traveled through the Iberian Peninsula, Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Here, Antonio Granjero and Estefania Ramirez perform during the 2014 summer season at the Maria Benitez Cabaret.
NEW MEXICO IS MORE than 5,000 miles from Spain, but that doesn’t mean you can’t highlight your summer with world-class flamenco dancing. From July 2 to August 31, world-renowned company Entreflamenco, led by Antonio Granjero and Estefania Ramirez, will perform nightly at the Maria Benitez Cabaret, located inside the Lodge at Santa Fe. Entreflamenco performs traditional flamenco songs and dances accompanied by elaborate lighting and costume design, as well as original choreography and music composition. Every season of Entreflamenco performances is unique, so audience members are guaranteed to see a different show than in past (or future) years. Ramirez, Granjero’s partner in life and on the dance floor, explains that between his style of “precision, speed, and character” and hers of “femininity, fluidity, and curvilinear design,” the two make an excellent “tag team.” He choreographs performances, and she polishes them during studio rehearsals. Ramirez began performing professionally at age 17, while Granjero was considered a “child prodigy” and performed professionally starting at age nine. “As dancers, I think we all dance because it’s what fulfills our passion and our soul,” Ramirez continues. “Most of us have always danced and known that we were going to be dancers. Our purpose is exploration and enjoyment of human emotion.” 14

The company is “very innovative,” according to Maresa Thompson, senior marketing and creative director for Heritage Hotels and Resorts. “They’re respected nationally as well as internationally within the flamenco community…We are extremely excited to have Entreflamenco return to the Lodge at Santa Fe as our premier summer program.” Ramirez is similarly excited to be performing in the City Different. “Santa Fe, besides being the oldest Spanish capital in the United States, is the richest place for the tradition of flamenco,” she says. “New Mexico in general has integrated flamenco into part of the heritage and identity here. We are also the resident company at the Maria Benitez Cabaret, the longestrunning and most prestigious venue in North America for flamenco.” Entreflamenco, nightly (except Tuesdays) through August 30, 8 pm, $25–$50, The Lodge at Santa Fe, 744 Calle Mejia, ticketssantafe.org.

LEADING NATURE ARTIST and conservationist Robert Wyland is set to open a Santa Fe gallery this weekend—the 26th location across the U.S. devoted to his work. Although best known for paintings of marine life, Wyland believes his work will find a place in Southwest collectors’ homes. “Everything we do in the desert and the mountains finds its way to the ocean,” says the Michigan native. “Plus, there’s no gallery like the Wyland gallery. It’s really something unique to Santa Fe.” At age 14, the Detroit-born artist saw his first whale off the coast of Laguna Beach, California, where he later founded his first gallery in 1978 and also painted his first life-size Whaling Wall mural. Since then, he’s painted 99 additional murals (which are seen by an estimated one billion people each year) depicting migrating gray whales, breaching humpbacks, and other marine life. Wyland painted his most recent mural, Hands Across the Ocean, with the help of student artists from 110 countries. Displayed in October 2008 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the half-mile-long work was honored by the National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, White House Council on Environmental Quality, and the U.S. Department of the Interior. In addition to maintaining a prolific art career, Wyland spearheads the Wyland Foundation, which teaches schoolchildren to be ocean stewards. The nonprofit also sets a national mayor’s challenge for water conservation in 3,600 cities across the U.S., including Santa Fe. Even after 37 years, Wyland finds himself continuously inspired both by nature and his mission to conserve it. “I’ve realized that to save the ocean, we need to protect lakes, streams, wetlands, rainforests, and deserts,” he says. “Everything I see, all that beauty, finds its way into my art.”
Above: American artist Robert Wyland is best known for his outdoor murals, which feature images of marine life. Left: Wyland, Backdoor Pipeline, giclée on canvas, 32" round
Although he’s known for paintings and sculpture, at his new gallery location he will also offer fine-art photography—a new medium for him—and drawings from his sketchbook, the latter of which collectors have begun to covet. He’ll create even more original works when he paints live at the grand opening—à la his PBS series Wyland’s Art Studio, which shares his inspiration and process with viewers, along with tips for helping the environment.

Bambini’s From Greek-inspired sandwiches and vegetarian combos to beer-battered onion rings and hand-crafted cannolis, Bambini’s has something for everyone, but it’s the Bampeño cheesesteak sandwich (pictured here) that has us lined up beside this food truck. Made with Angus sirloin steak, your choice of cheese, fresh jalapeños, and Bambini’s trademark secret spice mix (used on every sandwich), the Bampeño “is a very crafted sandwich with a lot more kick” than a traditional Philly cheesesteak, according to Chef Chip Storm. Usually parked at 905 S St. Francis, Bambini’s serves up as many as 100 sandwiches every day, Tuesday through Saturday, from 11 am—3 pm. This weekend, however, look for Bambini’s at El Rancho de las Golondrinas, where a Bampeño might just be the perfect food to hold down all that vino you’ll be drinking at the Santa Fe Wine Festival.—Elizabeth Sanchez

Located on the northwest side of the Santa Fe Plaza, the Plaza Cafe was first opened in 1905 by the Ipiotis brothers from Greece; the family sold the restaurant to another Greek immigrant in 1947. Today the casual diner still offers Greek fare alongside New Mexican dishes. Just take a look (clockwise from top right) at the sampling on this page: chicken mole plate with sour cream, pinto beans, and Spanish rice; Greek combo plate with Greek salad and fried calamari; chicken souvlaki plate with dolmas, tzatziki sauce, and pita bread; and a tostada salad with cabbage, tomatoes, and corn.

Star Liana York, Itch, clay, life-size
The outdoors come inside on July 3, when a new exhibit by Star Liana York opens at Sorrel Sky. The Abiquiu artist’s life-size bronze sculptures depicting wildlife and American Indian imagery will be presented within the gallery, surrounded by foliage and greenery to give a sense of how they might look alfresco. “Throughout the gallery, new works and life-size sculptures are displayed to illustrate the relationship between wild creatures and the human viewer,” explains Sorrel Sky’s marketing and events coordinator Martha Goetz, noting that lounging pumas will greet gallery visitors at the front door. “On the upper level, a balcony terrace has been reinvented to create a wildlife sanctuary complete with trees, flowers ... and a moving water feature,” she continues. “The design draws people back toward the beautiful bronze maiden dipping her toe into the water while a doe and her fawns turn to gaze toward the observer.” York agrees. “It should be fun to show people how sculpture can be expanded to be shown outdoors so they don’t have to necessarily show it in their houses,” she says, adding that the Southwest is an ideal location to display her work outside because the patinas hold up well in the drier climate. “Small patios and intimate outdoor spaces can lend more focus to those outdoor areas and give them the feel of a sanctuary.”—Whitney Spivey

STUDIO
Lisa Bick first fell in love with encaustic during a trip to Santa Fe several years ago. “I was awestruck while standing in front of a painting by Shawna Moore,” she remembers. “I felt my old primal need to learn a new skill; I immediately scheduled a workshop with her.” The rest, as they say, is history. “What I found that I loved the most about encaustic was my ability to ‘weave’ by layering the wax—it felt like textiles because images or scrims of color could layer on top of each other like veils of sheer silk,” Bick says. “I loved the idea that I could encrypt poetry and maps and hidden meanings and threads and leaves and all those expressive things that I was used to incorporating into my work—into wax.” Through her paintings, Bick traces her moments in her life. “My paintings depict the aura of life and art—of loss, desire, longing and death, memory and fragments of information,” she says. “I have always been a journal keeper and suddenly I find that my paintings are journals, too.” Bick’s work can be found locally at Wheelhouse Art on Montezuma Avenue. —Whitney Spivey lisabick.com
Lisa Bick
Bick says long walks in the Santa Fe National Forest “instill a calmness that is new for me because I usually suffer from a catastrophic anxiety about time itself.”
the encaustic artist creates topographies of emotion
“I struggle between the desire to let loose and express freedom and my natural inclination to follow my instinct and build or construct my story,” Bick says. “Always, the visual image is secondary to my stored emotional catalog and not one piece is anything but a self confession.”

Lisa Bick creates art in her Tesuque studio, “conveniently located about a block and a half from the Tesuque Market margaritas,” she says.

Hosfeld, the gallery’s director, is particularly excited by the colors, shapes, and shadows found in agaves and cacti, which feature prominently in her work. She likes to get up close and personal with her subject matter, often choosing to focus on one plant or only a part of a plant. “Recently, I was inspired by the Jardin Marjorelle at the Yves Saint Laurent tropical gardens in Morocco,” she says. “I took a lot of photos of the cacti when I was there and did a series of landscapes from the photographs.” In addition to new works, Hosfeld exhibits two older and larger (about 50 x 50") paintings of abstracted agaves that have never been shown before. For the past four years, Loving has been enamored with the mesas near the village of Algodones, located between his Albuquerque home and Santa Fe. “I’m interested in the places where arroyos and mesas meet and come together,” he explains. “Around Algodones there are large mesas that intersect with smaller ones. They fascinate me. So far, I’ve done eight paintings in my Algodones series.” Loving complements these works with paintings from a more abstract series that combines landscape with other imagery. In one painting, for example, an abstracted female figure assumes the center image while several geometric shapes are off to the side. “It was after I completed the painting that I noticed one of the geometric shapes looked like a simple head and in my mind represented an artist,” he says. “What I see now is an artist observing the center female figure, his model.” Nature Diversified, July 3–August 3, reception July 3, 5–7 pm, free, New Concept Gallery, 610 Canyon, newconceptgallery.com

STUDIO
queen of glue
California native Darlene Olivia McElroy spent childhood summers on her family’s Santa Fe ranch, so it’s no surprise that as an adult, she has chosen to create mixed-media art locally. The prolific artist also gives workshops, classes, and demonstrations for individuals and groups in her City Different studio, online, and at other locations throughout Santa Fe. McElroy has written several books on her craft, specifically on image transfer, surface treatment, and mixed media. Her DVDs and YouTube clips offer tutorials on assemblage artwork. —Cristina Olds Darlene Olivia McElroy, darleneoliviamcelroy.com
McElroy creates her assemblage art with acrylics, collage, paper clay, gold leaf, and dimensional objects.
A work in progress in McElroy’s studio called With New Loves, Old Ones Are Forgotten.
STEPHEN LANG
“I am a narrative artist,” McElroy says. “Most of my work is based on symbolism, stories, the feminine, and time and the links that join the individual to the continuum of past, present, and future.”

The Medium is the Message t he m et hod s of t h r ee lo cal a r ti sts que stion s pace, ti me, volume, line, a nd sh ape THREE SANTA FE-BASED ARTISTS who work with limited color palettes and materials share Patina Gallery’s Drawn to the Wall 2: The Medium is the Message show, which runs July 3–August 29 at the Palace Avenue gallery. “We are thrilled to give three fantastically talented local artists the opportunity to exhibit their works at Patina Gallery, given that none of them have gallery representation,” say gallery owners Ivan and Allison Barnett, who co-curated the exhibit. “All of them bring a marvelous variation to what has become a wonderful conversation of three unique artists’ aesthetics, all complementing each other in a different way.” Isolde Kille’s abstract paintings, which are spray-painted on canvas and covered with glass, were black and white when she lived in New York City but have been infused with blue since moving to Santa Fe three years ago. “I’m very repetitive,” Kille says about her work, which has been exhibited in the U.S. and abroad. “It adds up to a reality that connects to space and time.” Landscape and topography inspire Seth Anderson’s minimally painted wood panel pieces with sweeping black lines. Anderson is fascinated by maps and structure. “Some of the maps in his works are actually of this area,” says Maeve Sullivan, the gallery’s director of media and communications. “He sees a relationship between himself and the landscape and views these works as self-portraits.”
Michael Motley, Obsidian River 2, mixed media, 40 x 14 x 6"
Roots and sticks found in area arroyos, many of them from juniper trees, are wrapped in gauze in Michael Motley’s lightweight wall sculptures. The primal and primitive qualities in ancient artifacts, weapons, and tools inspire Motley, who is also known in town as a graphic designer. He has been showing his artwork in Santa Fe for the past three decades, although this show is his first public exhibition in more than 10 years.

Santa Fe might be known for adobe, but it was this contemporary house that took home a design award from the local American Institute of Architects chapter in 2006. Designed by architect Joseph Andrade, the compound consists of two independent structures—a 1,600-square-foot main house and a 400-square-foot guesthouse—arranged to create a central courtyard. The large outdoor space, which offers plenty of room for entertaining or sitting quietly, is almost an extension of the home’s living area, thanks to the wall of large windows that separates the two. Thoughtful interior features, such as Bosch appliances, radiant heat, wide-plank wood floors, and granite in the kitchen and baths, maintain the modern motif, as does the second story, which is offset from the first to create a balcony off the master suite. A two-car, drive-through garage allows easy access from both Second Street and an alley on the north side of the property. And if driving’s not your thing, the home is only a quartermile from the Rail Trail and walking distance to Backroad Pizza and the original Second Street Brewery.

Rulan Tangen
JONATHAN TERCERO
mov ing aut he ntica l ly t hr ou g h li f e Rulan Tangen’s contemporary indigenous dance company, Dancing Earth—founded in 2004 and based in San Francisco and Santa Fe—is strongly rooted in a sense of place. The Bay Area, says Tangen, feeds her and her colleagues’ commitment to social and environmental activism, while the high desert “is our source for ancient and pervading truths and our distinctive quality of movement. The wondrous and dramatic beauty of this corner of the American Southwest is not only an inspiration, but it choreographs me,” she adds. “New Mexico inspires me to peel away layers of experience of ballet, modern [dance], opera, circus, [and] powwow . . . to discover movements that are even more deeply authentic and organic.” To call Tangen multitalented is an understatement. In addition to serving as Dancing Earth’s artistic director and choreographer, she’s also a teacher, a writer, and a member of the Screen Actors Guild. Not surprisingly, her company is also multifaceted, focusing on innovative collaborations among Native dancers, composers, poets, costumers, filmmakers, painters, photographers, and musicians. Tangen takes a democratic approach to her art, believing first and foremost that “dance should be out and about in the everywhere, with everyone—not something exclusive and privileged.” Ritual, too, plays an important role in Dancing Earth’s performances. For Tangen, it’s a way of “making the sacred and special present in the everyday”—an act, she contends, that “is powerful beyond words.”—Eve Tolpa July 2, 2015 NOW 27

pieces of the past Adob e G al le r y’s Al A nt hony h a s a pa s sion for Pu e blo p ot t e r y When Al Anthony talks about historic Pueblo pottery, the glow in his eyes suggests the same contained fire that baked so many of his showpieces in indigenous kilns. With Adobe Gallery on Canyon Road, which he opened in 2001 (after 23 years in Albuquerque), he has created something of a shrine to his passion for historic pieces. One of Santa Fe’s leading Native American art galleries, Adobe is filled with contemporary pottery and other Native objets d’art. But it’s the historic, weather-worn Pueblo pottery that lends the place an archaeological air: various shapes and sizes adorned with patterns, images and the traditional black, white, and burnt umber. “This pottery is phenomenally beautiful and ethnographically important,” Anthony says. “Unlike pottery made to sell, these items were made to be used, and their evidence of use is especially appealing to collectors.” It wasn’t until 1957, while stationed at Kirtland Air Force Base, that he bought his first Pueblo pot. He collected for the next 19 years and, in 1978 opened Adobe Gallery in Albuquerque’s Old Town, selling mostly contemporary pieces. In the mid-1980s, he was offered 13 historic Native pots; though he knew little about historic pottery, his passion was ignited. In 2001, Anthony moved shop to Santa Fe, where he is now a very well-respected, selftaught expert in historic Pueblo pottery. Anthony originally dealt directly with Pueblo potters, often driving out to meet them; these days he is approached by art sellers and collectors. A recent acquisition, an 1889 San Ildefonso Pueblo vessel, came from an estate agent. About the size of a large beach ball, the pot’s images seem to tell the story of a horse theft. A man walks, horse at his side; a second man rides in; the two fight. The names “Juan” and “Jose” Al Anthony, owner are scrawled on the vessel’s body, but only “Juan” is on the lid. of Adobe Gallery on “We assume the pot was made in Juan’s honor,” says Anthony.
