THIS JUST MIGHT BE SANTA FE’S BUSIEST weekend of the year. With Independence Day occurring this Friday, there’s so much going on, and the variety of offerings will satisfy every taste and interest. This month’s First Friday on Canyon Road, taking place on July 4, includes numerous gallery openings. I’m especially excited to see painter Ben Steele’s show at Giacobbe-Fritz and of course my dear friend Aleta Pippin’s opening at Pippin Contemporary. Donna Howell-Sickles, whom I first met more than 20 years ago, brings her brand of Western art to her new show at McLarry Fine Art. It’s been such a thrill for me to see her flourish over the decades. On the music front, the bars and performing arts venues are booked with great acts. Michael Franti & Spearhead at The Downs will be a fun party, and Barbara Bentree and John Rangel at Pranzo put on a romantic and fabulous show. There’s live music on the Plaza, with Little Leroy and His Pack of Lies bringing rock and roll to the Bandstand, the Santa Fe Opera is in full swing (everybody was buzzing about last weekend’s opening), and I’m going to check out EntreFlamenco’s show at The Lodge. And if that weren’t enough, there’s also the annual Santa Fe Wine Festival at El Rancho de las Golondrinas. All of this week’s can’t-miss events are covered in this issue of NOW, so be sure to get out there. It doesn’t get much better than this.

the Soulshine music and yoga tour Yoga and music make excellent bedfellows during Michael Franti and his band Spearhead’s 35-city Soulshine tour. Part music concert, part yoga practice, Soulshine—being held at The Downs at Santa Fe on July 5—kicks off with an hour-long, all-level yoga session led by Aspen Yoga Society founder Gina Murdock and accompanied by a live acoustic performance by Franti and other musicians. After the session, attendees can relax, mingle, and groove to the sounds of a DJ before Michael Franti & Spearhead, SOJA, Sonna Rele, Brett Dennen, and Trevor Hall perform during a four-hour-long concert. “This has been the best tour I’ve ever been a part of,” says Franti, who’s been practicing yoga for more than 12 years and is well known for songs like his 2009 hit Say Hey (I Love You). “All the bands hang out and play music together offstage and then sit in on each other’s sets onstage,” he adds. “If you want to practice yoga to some great live music, then come early. If you just want to rock out, then come later for the bands.” For more information, visit soulshine.com.—Emily Van Cleve

In Santa Fe, it’s hard to think of the Fourth of July without thinking about Pancakes on the Plaza, the Rotary Club’s perennially popular community event, which is now in its 39th year. On Independence Day, 33 griddles are fired up just before 7 am, and throughout the day delicious pancakes are served with ham, strawberries, and maple syrup to the roughly 9,000 people who stop by to eat their breakfast at one of the dozens of picnic tables set up around the Plaza. But breakfast is only one part of the festivities. At 8 am the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #2951 Honor Guard of Santa Fe leads a presentation of the flags ceremony, and the Santa Fe Concert Band performs the National Anthem. At 9:30 am, there’s a Silly Hat Contest, with Steve Stucker of KOB-TV serving as judge. “We’ve revived the Silly Hat Contest from about four years ago,” says event coordinator Terry Williams-Keffer. “The first-, second-, and third-place winners receive gift certificates.” Musicians perform at the Plaza’s bandstand until about 2:30 pm, with Pancakes on the this year’s lineup including The Plaza begins at 7 am on July 4. Buffalo Nickel Band, Manzanares, The Maxpack, and American JeM. There’s also an arts and crafts show, and classic cars (many with owners who are members of the Santa Fe Vintage Car Club) are on view as well. Tickets for the 7 am to noon breakfast are $7 in advance and $8 on the day of the event. For more information, visit pancakesontheplaza.com.—EVC NOW

so bad. Maleficent was once a beautiful, powerful creature with wings to match her curling horns. She and the king had a thing, which didn’t end well, and now he’s crazy. Jolie’s cheekbones get a fantastical digital lift (I think?), but that ruby-red smile is all hers, and it lights the screen on fire. Walt Disney Pictures built the entire movie on the actress’s ability to carry it, and she succeeds like Atlas. The shame about Maleficent is that it won’t ever be a smash hit like the recent animated film Frozen because, like Snow White and the Huntsman, Alice in Wonderland, and every other live-action fantasy these days, the kids get left behind for Lord of the Rings– style assaults. There’s the clanging battle at the beginning of the film, and at the end, when an awesome dragon should have sufficed as the final spectacle, there’s an awful moment when a huge man in armor is cheered as he beats Maleficent with heavy chains. It’s an ugly moment, and, sadly, typical.—Phil Parker
WALT DISNEY STUDIOS MOTION PICTURES
Enough with bloodless battles in kids’ movies. There are marvelous aspects of director Robert Stromberg’s Maleficent, including Angelina Jolie’s performance and dazzling scenes of her character sporting big, brown, beautiful wings. But this will never be a classic film, because the story is bookended by unnecessary, stupid violence. Movie producers, please write this down in ink: Humanity has a real history of men riding into battles on horseback with their swords drawn, and it’s horrible. Unless your movie is rated R and your characters can die brutally, you’ve only diminished it by including these scenes. They insult war. Maleficent could have been great. It’s a clever spin on the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. Remember that one? A princess is born and her birthday celebration is crashed by an angry witch who curses the baby, saying that on her 16th birthday she’ll prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into a coma that she can only be woken from with a kiss from her true love. Maleficent isn’t about the princess, though; it’s about Clockwise rom top: the witch. Like Wicked (the book and Angelina Jolie, Sharlto hit Broadway musical that reimagines Copley, and Elle Fanning The Wizard of Oz), it gives us the villain’s star in Maleficent. backstory and shows that she really isn’t

EntreFlamenco the dynamic dance troupe begins its

summer residency at The Lodge at Santa Fe IF A CERTAIN “something” about EntreFlamenco’s summer performances at The Lodge at Santa Fe reminds audiences of famed dancer and choreographer Maria Benitez’s shows, there’s a good reason: The company’s directors, the husband and wife team of Antonio Granjero and Estefania Ramirez, danced with Benitez’s Teatro Flamenco. Granjero, who studied classical Spanish dance, ballet, and flamenco in Spain beginning at age 10 and founded the award-winning EntreFlamenco in 1998, was handpicked by Benitez during one of her annual recruitment trips to Spain. Granjero later joined Teatro Flamenco as a soloist and choreographer in 1995 and has collaborated with Benitez for nearly two decades. Ramirez, who grew up studying ballet, modern dance, and African dance and then majored in dance at the University of New Mexico, toured nationally with

Pablo Rodarte’s Dance España as the principal female dancer immediately after graduation. When Benitez asked her to be part of a Teatro Flamenco tour in the United States and Canada, she agreed. “I learned from Maria that to produce a good show, you have to give great importance to each and every detail and be concentrated on the project 100 percent,” Granjero says. “I also learned how to make each element synchronized perfectly to achieve a natural flow.” From July 2 through August 31, EntreFlamenco is the resident Spanish flamenco dance company at the Maria Benitez Cabaret venue (named for Granjero and Ramirez’s mentor) at The Lodge on North St. Francis Drive. Granjero—who, according to his company’s mission statement, founded EntreFlamenco “to promote, share, and educate the public about the history and evolution of flamenco culture”— has created new choreography for the show, which his troupe performs six nights a week, as well as original costumes and set designs. He and Ramirez are the principal soloists, and dancers Alice Blumenfeld, Miquela Wiegel, and Keyana De Aguero join them onstage. José Vega and Alex Jordan play guitar, Roberto Lorente sings, and Francisco Orozco sings and plays percussion. Two brief musical numbers highlight the musicians’ talents.

Santa Fe Wine Festival the popular event welcomes its 21st season by Emily Va n C le ve
It’s a tart wine that’s often served with light meats and heavy seafood. Traditional Spanish wines are available at Casa Abril Vineyards and Winery’s booth. “We serve varietals— no blends and no wines with fancy names,” says owner Raymond Vigil, whose winery is located in Algodones. “We’ll be bringing 14 different wines to the festival.” Tempranillo, a wine native to Spain, and Malbec, a variety grown in Argentina, are among Casa Abril’s offerings.
NOW IN ITS 21ST YEAR, the Santa Fe Wine Festival is popular with wine lovers who enjoy small wine-tasting events that offer ample opportunity to talk directly with the vintners. “Only 2,000 to 2,500 people come each day, and there are never very long lines,” says Amanda Crocker, director of programs and marketing at El Rancho de las Golondrinas, which hosts the event. “For us, it’s the perfect wine festival,” she adds. The event, which takes place from noon to 6 pm on July 5 and July 6, features a standout selection of wines from 17 New Mexico wineries. Acequia Vineyards & Winery in Corrales brings five different kinds to the festival, including their Osprey, which is an off-dry white wine that’s blended with Vidal blanc and muscat. “It’s got a little bit of spice at the end of it,” says owner Al Knight. “It’s a wine that goes well with just about anything—from turkey and pumpkin pie to shrimp. It makes a great gift when you don’t know what someone likes.” If dry rosé is your thing, try Acequia Vineyard’s Cooper’s Hawk Rosé made from Léon Millot grapes. 16

summertime is salad time
DOUGLAS MERRIAM
For the perfect light but satisfying summer salad, head to El-Evation Bistro. Chef Andres Portugues uses arugula, spinach, and mixed greens for his base and then adds jicama and carrots for a crunchy texture, ruby-red grapefruit and pomegranate seeds for sweetness, and a light honey-chipotle vinaigrette for a dressing. Portugues says that the key ingredient in his dressing is fresh chipotle adobo, which is uniquely New Mexican but doesn’t overwhelm the senses. Top off your salad with grilled chicken or shrimp, and then enjoy it on the bistro’s outdoor patio.—Cristina Olds El-Evation Bistro, 103 E Water, 505-820-0363

David Unger The dynamic, fluid figures David Unger sculpts transcend the seemingly static medium of clay cast in bronze. “I’ve always liked using my hands,” Unger says. “You can feel the energy of what you’re doing. When working with a tool, I don’t feel like I’m imparting what I’m feeling in my body into the piece.” Unger hits his stride portraying two figures interacting, where a head tilt conveys emotion and narrative. The Tucson-based artist exhibits at galleries in Arizona and Maine in addition to Santa Fe’s Bill Hester Fine Art, where his solo show Storyteller runs July 4–July 31 (reception July 4, 5–7 pm).—Ashley M.

PROFILE
An Artistic Legacy Rediscovered Matthews Gallery honors the late sculptor Hannah Holliday Stewart b y Hannah Hoe l
AN ARTISTIC LEGACY REDISCOVERED, opening July 4 at Matthews Gallery, shows 50 never-before-seen works by the late abstract sculptor Hannah Holliday Stewart (1924–2010). Two years after Stewart passed away in Albuquerque, Matthews Gallery began managing her estate and sifting through her untouched studio. “Imagine walking into an artist’s studio that had been kept private for 20 years and discovering artwork that hardly anyone knew still existed,” says gallery owner Lawrence Matthews. Matthews has noted in the past that Stewart enjoyed a successful career and worked hard to build her legacy, only to mysteriously turn her back on the art world. His curiosity about her reasons and about why she isn’t better known today was a driving force behind this exhibition, which showcases works Stewart created during the last decades of her life, including a totemic nine-foot bronze sculpture.

“Imagine walking into an artist’s studio that had been kept private for 20 years and discovering artwork that hardly anyone knew still existed,” says Lawrence Matthews of Matthews Gallery. Born in Alabama, Stewart was part of a small group of influential female sculptors working in the late 20th century. After graduating from Michigan’s Cranbrook Academy of Art, she lived and worked in Houston, Texas, where she built her reputation as a sculptor whose interests included ancient myths, goddess imagery, science, and natural phenomena. Stewart wrote in a statement that her goal was “to render visible the hidden realities of pent-up contained energy.” This sentiment visibly informs the strength of Stewart’s dynamic bronze shapes and speaks to her victory of female authorship in a less welcoming era, as evidenced by her monumental sculpture for Houston’s Hermann Park, which was commissioned in 1972. During Stewart’s lifetime, her work was shown at the Smithsonian Institution, the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Fine Art, and the High Museum in Atlanta, among other institutions. At the peak of her career, she unexpectedly left Houston for Albuquerque and never exhibited again. This mysterious upheaval is still being explored, and Matthews hopes that An Artistic Legacy Rediscovered will shed light on a career that “helped lead the way for generations of women sculptors.” Hannah Holliday Stewart, An Artistic Legacy Rediscovered, July 4–July 18, reception July 4, 5–7 pm, Matthews Gallery, thematthewsgallery.com July 3, 2014

Donna Howell-Sickles: American Cowgirl McLarry Fine Art 225 Canyon, mclarryfineart.com July 4–July 18, reception July 4, 5–7 pm While pursing her BFA at Texas Tech in Lubbuck in the early 1970s, Texas native Donna Howell-Sickles happened upon a ca. 1935 postcard depicting a strong, confident cowgirl, and the artist was immediately inspired. Since then, she’s gone on to make the iconic female image central to her paintings, as seen in her latest show, which features new acrylic and mixedmedia works.
Kim Wiggins and William Haskell: Western Regionalism Manitou Galleries 123 W Palace, manitougalleries.com July 4–July 18, reception July 4, 5–7:30 pm Painters Kim Wiggins and William Haskell, renowned for their dramatic and evocative Western landscape paintings, join forces for their latest show.

David Rothermel: Insight Out Daivd Rothermel Contemporary 142 Lincoln, Ste 102, drcontemporary.com Through July 15, reception July 4, 5–8 pm Part of an ongoing series of work diving deep into mixed theories of abstraction, modernist design, and color-field experimentation, David Rothermel’s new show explores formal painting with deliberate tonality. The pleasing color values dance with contrast, while spatial structures adhere to a trained formalist practice. Careful interplay between layered and diminished brushstrokes within structuralist rigidity leads to compositions that perpetually attract the viewer’s gaze and, Rothermel says playfully, “achieve the breath of abstract art. In and out . . . insight and out.”—B.Y. Cooper

His process of employing silkscreen and other application techniques results in pieces that are—in the tradition of Warhol, one of his influences—reproducible. In the past Steele has reinterpreted classic works of art; here he turns his eye to the circus and all its components: performers, animals, spectators, and concessions.—Eve Tolpa Ben Steele, Gourd-geous, oil on canvas, 30 x 25"

In her latest show, she explores “the transparency of acrylic panels, LED lighting, and metals incorporated with her signature color.” 22

Anne Truitt: Paintings and Works on Paper Charlotte Jackson Fine Art, 544 S Guadalupe, charlottejackson.com Through July 27 This show features rarely seen works from the 1960s through the 1980s by Anne Truitt (1921–2004), who’s known mostly for her wooden sculptures. 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.” Power Objects Tansey Contemporary 652 Canyon, tanseycontemporary.com Through July 15 Noel Hart, who’s worked in various mediums but has primarily focused on glass since 2000, has said that the motivation behind his work is “a consuming passion for an abstract or semiabstract personal iconography, reflecting an interest in nature and ecology.” His solo show Power Objects features hand-blown glass sculptures.

John Oteri: Good to Be Home Joe Wade Fine Art July 4–July 13, reception July 4, 5–7 pm
John Oteri describes himself as a selftaught artist, but the Texas native, who retired with his wife to Santa Fe 24 years ago, possesses a background in architecture and has, he says, “been able to draw since I was 5 or 6.” His paintings range from realist landscapes to more abstract, stylized, and graphically inspired figurative “vignettes” that intentionally “leave a little bit to the imagination.” Regardless of subject matter, Oteri aims to capture “the expressions of the Southwest,” adding that “what [they] really evoke to me has to do with weather, history, and nostalgia.”—ET July 3, 2014

David Jonason, Big Weather, oil on canvas, 30 x 30"
David Jonason: High Desert Meditations Meyer East Gallery, 225 Canyon meyereastgallery.com Through July 3, reception June 20, 5–7 pm Meyer East presents new work by David Jonason, whose stylized, geometric oil-on-canvas pieces depict the multitudinous landscapes of the Southwest. Whether he’s capturing the dramatic rock formations of Utah’s Monument Valley, the saguaro cacti that populate Arizona, or the high desert cliffs of New Mexico, Jonason’s sources of inspiration are apparent: cubism, art deco, and (fittingly) the Taos School, to name a few.—ET
Rick Stevens Hunter Kirkland Contemporary 200 B Canyon hunterkirklandcontemporary.com Through July 6 In a new series of work featuring both oils and pastels, Santa Fe painter R ick Stevens explores the continuum of energy present in natural phenomena. Whatever his subject—be it the dynamism of a sunset or a rainstorm— the artist contends that “it’s all alive—there are no inanimate substances. Even the rocks in the desert serve as hosts for entire ecosystems.”—ET

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Rebecca Tobey
Rebecca Tobey, Merlin, bronze, 19 x 28 x 17" 24
santafeanNOW.com
Though she makes watercolor paintings, jewelry, fine-art glass, and bronzes, Rebecca Tobey considers herself primarily a ceramic sculptor. But, she says, “I create stylized animals, which work well in all media,” noting that whatever the material, she is first and foremost a colorist. Tobey moved to Santa Fe in 1975, when she realized “this town was where I was supposed to be.” At first, she felt “boxed in” by being characterized as a Southwestern artist, but labels no longer bother her, especially as she keeps turning her attention to the city itself. “It has continued to influence me and my work through its colors, vibrancy of life, and culture,” she says. “I still find it enchanting.” From July 4 through July 16, Tobey’s work can be seen in a show at Ventana Fine Art called Movement and Grace, which also features paintings by Jean Richardson. A reception is being held July 4 from 5 to 7 pm.—ET

Oakland-based Matthew Szösz creates intricate glass pieces that allow him to navigate the space between what he calls the “restraint of learned technique and the manic populist energy of the rock-throwing iconoclast.”—ET

DALLAS-BASED interior designer Jason Lenox had just launched his company J. Alexander Rustic Interior Design when he was inspired to create a line of home accessories. Among his offerings is a series of elegant accent pieces made from German silver (an alloy containing nickel and copper) that includes various-sized boxes, candlestick holders, wine coasters, napkin holders, tissue-box covers, picture frames, letter openers, cigar ashtrays, and a vanity mirror. The entirely handmade collection, which combines art and functionality, features hand-stamped Navajo-inspired designs with a burnished vintage look. Lenox embellishes the silver with one-of-a-kind turquoise cabochons from Sonoran Desert mines, and he lines many of his boxes’ interiors with luxurious black felt. The designer says his silverwork was inspired by trips he took to Mexico, and his pieces are now made in a central Mexican village. The collection can be found at Nathalie Home on Canyon Road, where it’s been popular since arriving two years ago.—Zélie Pollon

Twentieth-century New Mexico painter Fremont Ellis once lived on this 4.76-acre property with spectacular views just a few miles south of town. In the 1920s there was an adobe home and a bread horno on the land, and while the horno remains, the adobe burned down in the 1980s during a party hosted by musician Glenn Frey of the Eagles, who owned the property at the time. The current 3,485-square-foot home, built in 2002, has many elegant touches, including slate flooring, vigas, latillas, and a stone fireplace, and there’s even a guest apartment upstairs. A stand-alone four-room studio, which was designed by a music producer and outfitted as a recording studio, features a kitchenette and deck and can be used as a yoga or art studio or as a guesthouse. List price: $1.085 million Barker Realty, Jane Hiltbrand, 505-946-8475, santaferealestate.com

The psychedelic jams and cosmic kelp dancing of the 1960s and ’70s were alive and grooving during the Chris Robinson Brotherhood’s performance at Sol Santa Fe on Thursday, June 26. Playing rambling, guitar-driven originals from their new vinyl release, Phosphorescent Harvest, as well as covers of songs by influential predecessors like the Grateful Dead, the band was digging the sound and the vibe, and so was its audience. “There was a kind of glowing warmth and reception from the crowd—a ‘love’ thing,” says photographer Gabriella Marks, who took the images seen here. “And, in return, the band members seemed comfortable, like that stage really felt like home—right down to Chris Robinson’s bare feet with the star tattoos.” Incense and patchouli (and other things?) wafted on the evening breeze, as the vibe, Marks says, was one of peace, love, and, naturally, brotherhood. “The dusky light was like a visual reverb effects pedal, with the golden sunset of a mid-summer evening adding to that sense of warmth.”—Cristina Olds 28
