A Glimpse into the Lives of 8 Students of The Santa Fe Indian School Class of 1943 Through a Rare Collection of Paintings The Studio of the Santa Fe Indian School of the 1930s is famous for producing many Native American artists of note. Many of the students studying under the tutelage of Dorothy Dunn continued as artists as a career for the remainder of their lives. San Juan Pueblo student Geronima Montoya ultimately took command for the next 30 years. Adobe Gallery acquired this 10-painting collection of a 1943 class of students who apparently did not chose an artist career. These paintings may be the only evidence they ever laid brush to paper. In 1939, Conrad Hilton opened his very first Albuquerque Hilton Hotel. Evidence supports he purchased these 10 paintings from students for placement in his guest rooms.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE
2015 |
SEVERAL YEARS AGO, the relationship we Santa Feans have with the Plaza took a seismic shift with the introduction of free live music on the Bandstand. Suddenly, locals had another reason to come downtown on our long summer evenings. Under the guidance of the late David Lescht, the music calendar grew to four nights a week, the quality of the musicians increased dramatically, and we started seeing national touring acts. Since David’s passing, new leadership has grown this event with a longer season and even more significant entertainers. This Tuesday, the ever-popular Juice Newton—who topped both the country and pop charts with songs like “Angel of the Morning,” “Queen of Hearts,” and “The Sweetest Thing (I’ve Ever Known)”—will entertain us right here in our own Plaza. Are we not blessed to be here? But first, this weekend offers a wealth of activities, and it’s hard pick just one. El Rancho de las Golondrinas is hosting its Summer Festival and Wild West Adventures, during which you can meet the great grandsons of Kit Carson and Pat Garrett, and mingle with the lawmen, desperados, and mountain men who made the West so wild. There are wagon rides, musical acts, and games as well. Hípico Santa Fe continues to host its three-week major equestrian event, with riders from across the country competing in hunter/jumper events. On July 29, Hípico will celebrate Fiesta Week at the show. Finally, be sure to check our listings for the gallery openings tomorrow night. They are plentiful and significant. Every week, I am amazed as I look through our calendar at the variety and quality of arts and entertainment in this town. Each week there’s something different, and it always opens my mind and heart a little. Enjoy being expanded.

the
buzz
Ant-Man is pure corporate product (some forces are mightier than superheroes). Step into a WalMart sometime and look around— Iron Man, Captain America, and Hulk are everywhere! Backpacks, clothes, sheets, toys, soap, candy, dishes, towels, school Paul Rudd supplies, video games— attempts to save everything. Many interests the world as AntMan. tap the Marvel Comics cash line. Thus, because all brands need freshening, we get new movies for characters like Ant-Man, an original Avenger who dates back to the comics of the 1960s. He can shrink to the size of an ant and has super speed and super strength. He also controls ants with his mind. Quick recap: Walt Disney Studios bought Marvel Comics in 2009 for $4 billion, and has been cranking out blockbusters ever since. Recently, they announced a release schedule for all their upcoming comic movies, along with logos. This year we got Avengers 2 and Ant-Man. Next year it’s Captain America 3 and Doctor Strange. On and on the list goes, with nine more superhero flicks through 2019. The brand parade also includes TV shows. The motivation is obvious—and obviously not about art. Nerds like me who follow this stuff know that director Edgar Wright—the zany auteur genius who mixes action and comedy so perfectly in films like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz—worked for several years to make the Ant-Man movie happen. He left it shortly before filming began. “Sources say Marvel was unhappy with his take on Ant-Man,” The Hollywood Reporter reported. This is interesting, considering Ant-Man is packed with the predictable tropes which Wright has spent a fantastic young career avoiding. The movie’s action is boring, and it lacks style. Its story is utterly generic, with beats we’ve seen a million times: a misunderstood nice guy who just wants his family back is taken in by a mentor with a beautiful daughter, and they fight a crazy villain for a powerful object. Wright would not have gone for this. It’s an objectively stupid superpower, this ant stuff. Casting Paul Rudd, by far the funniest actor to play a superhero, was an inspired sign that the movie could have been fun. Instead, it’s a commercial for junk.—Phil Parker
horsin’ around Hípico is Spanish for “equestrian,” so it’s no surprise that when Brian Gonzales and Guy McElvain purchased the Santa Fe Horse Park and the Santa Fe Equestrian Center seven months ago, they renamed the 137-acre, 587-stall facility Hípico Santa Fe. “Both Guy and I were raised [in New Mexico],” Gonzales says. “Our long-term goal is to leave a legacy to Santa Fe.” The first step to achieving that goal is Hípico’s inaugural summer series—three weeks of Wednesday through Sunday hunter/jumper competitions with a total prize purse of $225,000. The event kicked off July 22 and features amateur and professional riders from across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. The public can take it all in, along with live music and food from local vendors, free of charge.—Emily Van Cleve Santa Fe Summer Series, through August 9, free, Hípico Santa Fe, 100 South Polo, hipicosantafe.com Don’t miss the last week of Hípico Santa Fe’s Summer Series— quite possibly the biggest equestrian event of the year.

More than 10 venues host late-night fun during Nightwave.
Women in the Visual Arts Week
Nightwave If you don’t believe that Santa Fe has a rockin’ late-night scene, plan on staying up past your bedtime July 30–August 1. That’s when more than 10 venues and 40 artists come together to celebrate the City Different’s nightlife. Nightwave, as the three-day fest is called, features music by Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Cymbals Eats Guitars, Vinyal Williams, Pictureplane, Carlos Medina, and others, in venues that range from the Blue Rooster to the Farmers Market Pavilion.—WS Nightwave Santa Fe, July 30–August 1, prices vary, downtown Santa Fe and the Railyard, nightwavesf.com Sadako peace crane statue

ALISON MARCOTTE
Upaya Retreat Seventy years after atomic bombs were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Upaya Zen Center will offer a five-day retreat to mark the anniversary. “We encourage people to attend because it offers significant opportunities to deepen the vision and practice of nonviolent change,” says Upaya’s marketing and development consultant, Sue Dean. Activities will include a dharma talk, zazen at Upaya’s Circle of the Way Temple, and listening to speakers such as Roshi Joan Halifax at the Campaign Nonviolence National Conference. On August 6, participants will travel to Los Alamos—home of the Manhattan Project—to hang 70,000 paper cranes and call for nuclear disarmament via a peace vigil.—Whitney Spivey
During a planning session, WISC artists and moderators discuss the August 6 event.
“Women’s art in museums per square foot is significantly less [than men’s],” says Helena Ribe, program chair of Women’s International Study Center (WISC). “Likewise, the value of women’s art is less. We’re highlighting the achievements and starting a conversation about the challenges women artists face.” Ribe is referring to two programs she’s developed about women artists, which are being offered as part of the Engaging Dialogue on Gender Equity (EDGE) series during Women in the Visual Arts Week. The first event is titled How To Be a Successful Artist and explores career options and artistic opportunities for emerging female artists. Sixteen notable artists, curators, and gallery owners will facilitate small group discussions. The second program, How Women Artists Shape the Arts and Contribute to Social Change, features Susan Fisher Sterling, director of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, who will examine how women artists have evolved during past decades and their effect on social change. The lecture will be followed by a panel discussion with Sterling and artists Harmony Hammond, Rose B. Simpson, and Meridel Rubenstein; Kymberly Pinder, dean of the College of Fine Arts, University of New Mexico, will moderate.—Cristina Olds Women in the Visual Arts Week: How To Be a Successful Artist, August 5, 7 pm, $20, MuñozWaxman Gallery, CCA, 1050 Old Pecos Tr, wisc-amh.org Women in the Visual Arts Week: How Women Artists Shape the Arts and Contribute to Social Change, August 6, 7 pm, $35, Santa Fe Prep, 1101 Camino de Cruz Blanca, wisc-amh.org July 30, 2015 NOW 5

recitals by the stars of the Santa Fe Opera IN COLLABORATION WITH The Santa Fe Opera, Performance Santa Fe’s annual Festival of Song returns to the Scottish Rite Center for three recitals in early August. “Song recitals present a different challenge to both singer and audience, expanding horizons for both,” says Joseph Illick, founding artistic director of Performance Santa Fe. “They offer an insight into the talent of the singer not seen on the larger-than-life opera stage.” On August 2, baritone Quinn Kelsey and his wife, dramatic soprano Marjorie Owens, will perform songs and duets by Brahms, Duparc, Finzi, Strauss, and Wagner, accompanied on the piano by Tamara Sanikidze. If Kelsey sounds familiar, he should—he stars in Santa Fe Opera’s Rigoletto this summer.

On August 6, soprano Anna Christy, who is currently performing in La Fille du Regiment at the Sante Fe Opera, will sing selections from Handel, Mozart, Bellini, Donizetti, and WolfFerrari. Illick will accompany her on the piano. On August 9, Liebeslieder Waltzes features a collection of romantic and classical love songs by Brahms, Schumann, Schubert, and Rossini performed by Santa Fe Opera apprentices: sopranos Heather Phillips and Jacqueline Stucker; mezzos Shabnam Kalbasi and Olivia Vote; tenors John Myers and Aaron Short; and baritones/basses Jarrett Ott and Tyler Putnam. A popular feature of Festival of Song is the meet-the-artist reception, which follows each performance. If you’ve ever wanted to meet an opera star in person, this is your chance.

violence, Ada slips into a lonely and destitute way of life—which is part of the appeal of the role for Leonard. “The things that draw me to opera...are the stories—the texts, the interpersonal relationships, the struggles that the characters go through,” she says, hoping that her audience will feel the same way. “I think that because it’s a very well-known book and movie, Cold Mountain will bring a lot of different viewers to the opera.” Daniel Zillman, director of press and public relations for Santa Fe Opera, agrees. He expects plenty of history buffs and Charles Frazier fans to attend the six almost-sold-out performances, as well as people “in the industry who are interested in Jennifer Higdon’s first opera,” he says. “They’re very excited to hear what she does with it.

ROBERT GODWIN, SANTA FE OPERA
COLD MOUNTAIN, THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED opera created by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Jennifer Higdon and librettist Gene Scheer, debuts at the Santa Fe Opera on August 1. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Charles Frazier, this world premiere features baritone Nathan Gunn as W. P. Inman, a wounded Confederate soldier who deserts the army to embark on a perilous journey home to reunite with his love, Ada Monroe, played by Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard. “The two characters, Ada and Inman, are never together really in the book; they don’t have a lot of scenes where they can develop their relationship in a very obvious manner for the reader or for the audience member,” Leonard explained in a Santa Fe Opera Behind the Music interview. “That originally seemed like a challenge, but Gene Scheer has written a fantastic libretto and has created flashbacks and moments where Nathan and I will be able to come together and have scenes that will help tell the story—not necessarily in a linear fashion, but definitely in a clear way.” As Inman travels home through the Smoky Mountains, often facing

Originating in Northern Mexico, cerveza preparada is “a general term for beer with fun things added to it,” explains Joseph Haggard of Bar Alto, the rooftop watering hole at the Drury Plaza Hotel. “They’re great for a super hot day.” Haggard’s version of the drink (pictured) includes St. Croix rum, lots of fresh lime juice, plenty of salt, and a sweet-and-spicy orange blossom chipotle honey syrup—all mixed with a Mexican lager such as Dos Equis. Topped off with salt around the rim and a slice of lime, this drink is perfect to sip poolside or while watching the sunset.—Whitney Spivey 828 Paseo de Peralta, druryplazasantafe.com Mixologist Joseph Haggard

Since 1999, Robert Buelteman has been creating what he calls energetic photograms, wherein an object (in this case, organic plant matter) is placed on light-sensitive material and illuminated. It’s a complete departure from his previous focus of 30 years, landscape photography. “I was looking for something spiritual,” he says of the about-face. “I’m not interested in re-representing an old barn door.” Buelteman’s process is an extremely slow one—every 100 sheets of film he uses yields roughly one usable image—but he takes great joy in his work. “What interests me is what happens to the viewer when presented with [something] they can’t interpret or define,” Buelteman says. “The greatest compliment I can receive is when people see [my work] and say, ‘What am I looking at?’”—Eve Tolpa Robert Buelteman, Gerald Peters Gallery, 1011 Paseo de Peralta, gpgallery.com

Don Redman sculpture in constant movement 2014 Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts artist Don Redman strives to engage the viewer with his large-scale sculptures. Previous projects have involved creating kinetic sculptures that generate their own electricity and light up, but now Redman focuses on static works made primarily of high carbon and corten steel. Corten is a durable, orange-colored (not painted) steel that’s used to build bridges and ships. “You can drop [a corten sculpture] in the ocean and it’ll look just like that in 100 years,” he says, noting the material contrasts nicely with glass. “I wanted [the sculptures] to still be kinetic, so I’m using mosaic glass tile pieces that allow sunlight to penetrate the object and cast shadows that move throughout the year.”—Cristina Olds donredman.com
A maquette, or scale model, of one of Redman’s sculptures can be seen behind the artist. “This piece looks different from every side,” he says.
This currently untitled piece is part of a diptych. “I have a number of [sculptures] around the state right now,” Redman says. “I’m about to put one in the main rotunda at UNM North in Taos—the grandparent of this one (pictured).”

David Humphrey, Kicking Back, acrylic on canvas, 44 x 54"
Martin Mull, Fatherly Advice, oil on linen, 40 x 30"
MICHELE BUBACCO, Angela Fraleigh, David Humphrey, Martin Mull, and Claire Sherman dare you to take a second look at their work, which will be shown at David Richard Gallery from July 31 to September 26. The exhibit, titled (Un)Real, offers figurative representations of the sometimes biting, sometimes sweet takes on the world in which we live. Each piece contains a dark element that is not always immediately apparent. Michele Bubacco’s smudgy, earthy take on interactions often lifts the curtain of social behavior—and layers of clothing—to render a dreamlike discomfort and vulnerability in his subjects. His Queen of the Storage is perhaps his most frank expression of women’s place in society. Angela Fraleigh’s gatherings of indolent, Rubenesque women are reminiscent of fairytales, though a closer look reveals them to be placed in more contemporary contexts, shattering the magical essence. Martin Mull’s reflections on “the good old days” are as cynical as it gets. His photo-realistic sketches turn a day at the beach, for example, into a deeply disturbing look at family interactions. David Humphrey’s images at first glance are sweet and simple, with a pop art safety to them; yet with a second look, something darker appears lurking in the shadows. Claire Sherman’s landscapes have a stark softness, but her take on natural features is one of wilderness spoiled. In Hole III, where the eye expects a gleaming pool of fresh water, something else is taking place. (Un)Real is an intriguing collection, and a show that certainly lives up to its title; though perhaps there is just a shade more reality in it than its name would have us believe.

Lehman earned his chops in the production studio of Red Horse Clay Company and delved into fine art as part of the Phoenixbased, NEA-funded art co-op Movimiento Artistico del Rio Salado. To escape the heat, he moved to Santa Fe in 1991, where he has been the webmaster for the New Mexico Tourism Department for the past 10 years. He’s represented locally at Pop Gallery, where he will have a show this fall. Lehman’s primary medium is ceramics; the sculptures seen here in his Nambé home studio are made of white earthenware that is fired, glazed, fired again, and occasionally painted.—Cristina Olds popsantafe.com

VERVE GALLERY OF PHOTOGRAPHY hosts Let’s Talk Blue, a one-day multimedia exhibition coordinated by Water Engineers for the Americas (WEFTA). Dovetailing with Cause & Effect, the gallery’s ongoing summer exhibition about human contribution to climate change, Let’s Talk Blue debuted at the Railyard on March 22 in honor of World Water Day and will be relocated to its East Marcy Street location for a July 31 viewing. The show features a video installation created by Marisela La Grave of Magnetic Laboratorium that includes images of water engineers’ work from Honduras, Mexico, and Bolivia. A 13-year-old Santa Fe nonprofit, WEFTA has completed more than 65 projects providing clean water and sanitation to communities in Latin America. According to Executive Director Elise Arena, being based in New Mexico gives the organization a particular set of advantages. “Our technologically skilled people have a unique perspective here,” she says, citing the similarities between the state and Latin America: drought, indigenous populations, and poverty. Communities specifically request help from WEFTA, which supplies volunteers—often bilingual New Mexicans—who work for free in their areas of expertise. “They are there to do an assessment, maybe do a diagram, and work with locals who have some experience themselves,” Arena says. “Locals are asked to contribute to the projects through hands on work and/or resources.” As a result, there is a sense of agency and community pride running through the process. “This is a real grass-roots effort,” she says. In addition to the video installation, the exhibit—a fundraiser
Wyatt Gallery, Cadillac and African Bust, archival pigment ink print, 30 x 38"
for WEFTA—is showcasing drawings of cisterns the organization builds and a hand-washing station made from found objects, which, Arena says, is “like fine art.” Engineers who have been in the field will wear stickers saying Let’s Talk Blue, inviting visitors to engage them in conversation about their work. “They love this,” Arena says of the volunteers’ service. “They don’t get anything out of it other than the pleasure of doing stuff for others.” Let’s Talk Blue, July 31, 5:30–7 pm, free, rsvp by emailing info@wefta.net, Verve Gallery of Photography, 219 E Marcy, vervegallery.com July 30, 2015 NOW 25

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.

For Charles Burkhardt, building and renovating motorcycles is a hobby turned passion turned business. Last fall, Burkhardt opened Rusty Bolt Garage in Santa Fe and says support for the shop is strong from the local motorcycle community. Specializing in Japanese brands, the full-service vintage motorcycle garage offers repairs, maintenance, tune ups, engine overhauls, electrical work, and more. “People are generally excited to see someone bringing old bikes back to life,” Burkhardt says. He’s currently working with a clothing company to produce a line of motorcycle apparel and hopes to open a motorcycle-centric cafe and retail store. “You don’t have to ride to love looking at beautiful bikes,” he adds.—Cristina Olds 2889 Trades West Rd, rustyboltgarage.com

“Generally, I take an older bike and drop as much weight as possible, improve the handling and braking, and try to make it look good,” Burkhardt says. “I do commissioned builds for customers and will occasionally do a shop build in between customer bikes.”
Located less than a mile from the Plaza, this residence was built by T. Charles Gaastra and James Gladding in the 1920s for New Mexico Supreme Court Justice David Chavez. Completely walled and private, the home has been restored in a traditional Southwestern style featuring plaster walls, vigas, and original hand-carved beams. On the west side of the property, guests will enjoy their private suite with a threequarter bath. A 225-squarefoot detached studio is perfect for artists, writers, or yogis.

liv e younger longer th r o u g h th e h ealing ar ts Raymond Kurshals has danced with Madonna, improved Ali MacGraw’s yoga practice, and instructed Russell Crowe in a private Pilates session. This kind of mingling with the stars has long been part of Kurshals’s career, which has roots on Broadway, where he was a professional dancer more than 40 years ago. Since relocating to Santa Fe in 1993, Kurshals has served as the go-to Pilates and wellness guru for locals as well as the rich and famous. (Also on his client list are Cate Blanchett, Marsha Mason, Shirley MacLaine, and Bailey Chase, to name a few). That’s because Kurshals offers some of the best healing therapies available in Santa Fe—from core work that will have you ready for bikini season to knee rehab for that running injury that just won’t go away. This type of work has always been Kurshals’s passion. “As a dancer, I felt like I was healing people,” he says. “With Pilates, I’m healing people.” But Kurshals’s business, Pilates Santa Fe, is about so much more than imparting the method pioneered by Joseph Pilates that emphasizes alignment, breathing, and core strength. Walk into Kurshals’s downtown studio and you’ll find—in addition to traditional Pilates instruments—a CoreAlign machine, a massage room, a sauna, and an oxygen therapy area. “If people need to be fixed, we can fix them, so to speak—mentally, physiologically, emotionally,” says Kurshals, who’s a certified nutritionist and is also trained in osteopathic and chiropractic medicine. Kurshals works with a team of up to 10 independent contractors to offer clients a variety of services seven days a week, from one-on-one or group Pilates sessions to various restorative wellness treatments, including cold light laser therapy, craniosacral masPhotographer Mark Steven Shepherd sage, and Shiatsu and Jin Shin Jyutsu bodywork. proves Santa Fe style is a real thing with his candid shots of locals around town. “Live younger longer” is the tagline for Pilates Santa Fe, and it certainly seems appropriate “We’re all going to die,” Kurshals says, “but you want to live the most healthy, most vibrant life you can until you’re dead. You want to fulfill your destiny, whatever that is—and you want to have fun doing it.” –Whitney Spivey
