WE CALL IT “HIGH SEASON” for a reason. With so many activities in full swing, it’s no wonder Santa Fe is on a growing “high.” Wherever you go, you can feel the energy in the streets—and read about it in this issue of Santa Fean NOW. This weekend, July 11 and 12, we have International Folk Art Market, which has rapidly become one of Santa Fe’s premier events. It usually sells out quickly (tickets to Friday’s opening night are long gone) and has generated rave reviews since its inception. IFAM is one of the rare opportunities for visitors not only to experience folk art from around the world, but to sample the international food, music, and dance that go along with it. Nothing is more fun than seeing guest artists roaming Santa Fe in traditional clothing from exotic and faraway nations. The other big event that has the world bringing art to us this weekend—from Thursday, July 9 through Sunday, July 12—is ART Santa Fe. In this case, however, the focus is generally on contemporary fine art which comes to us from throughout the United States and, again, from faraway countries. Charlotte Jackson does a wonderful service to our community by presenting ART Santa Fe and attracting a fine array of galleries to this colorful event, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. The common factor in both of these festivals is that the art presented is not the variety we normally see in Santa Fe. It is rarely seen here, and I would suggest that much of it is not seen anywhere else in the world, either, other than in the home countries of these visiting artists and galleries. How lucky we are to be here and have the opportunity to soak in all of this amazing art.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

LISA LAW
As symbol and hue, red has risen to the pinnacle of the color spectrum. Yet few know of its most prolific and enduring source: cochineal. The Red that Colored the World looks through the centuries to consider the central role of color in art, history and culture.

Santa Fe Desert Chorale
Aspen Santa Fe Ballet performs Beautiful Mistake as part of the summer season.
the
ROSALIE O’CONNOR
“The 2015 Santa Fe Desert Chorale season has something for everyone—from intimate chamber music from Venice and England to the glorious sounds of the full ensemble in programs of sacred music,” says Joshua Habermann, the a cappella group’s music director. Four distinct programs with music spanning more than 400 years are part of the four-week summer season, which opens with the Transcendence program on July 9 at 8 PM at Cathedral Basilica of St.. Francis. The highlight of this concert is a presentation of Herbert Howells’s Requiem for unaccompanied chorus, which was written in six short movements in the 1930s. The masterfully composed Serenade to Music (1938) by Ralph Vaughan Williams is the centerpiece of the Chorale’s Serenade to Music program at the Church of the Holy Faith. Vaughan Williams used text from Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice in this work for 16 soloists and piano. The Santa Fe Desert Chorale sings pieces by Claudio Monteverdi in the Venetian Splendor concerts at Loretto Chapel, and presents a new commission by Orthodox priest Ivan Moody in the Hidden Treasures of Byzantium program at Cathedral Basilica.—Emily Van Cleve Santa Fe Desert Chorale’s 2015 Summer Festival July 9–August 9, Cathedral Basilica, Loretto Chapel, and Church of the Holy Faith; concerts on July 12 and August 9 at Cathedral Church of St. John in Albuquerque, $10–$65, desertchorale.org

The Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (ASFB) opens its summer season at The Lensic with the world premiere of Silent Ghost, a newly commissioned work by Spanish choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo, who is currently the resident choreographer at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Other contemporary performances include 1st Flash by Finland’s Jorma Elo and Beautiful Mistake by Spaniard Cayetano Soto. ASFB also presents the return of Juan Siddi Flamenco Santa Fe, an ensemble of 14 dancers and musicians led by dancer and artistic director Juan Siddi. In 2011, Siddi won the Santa Fe Mayor’s Award for bringing talented flamenco dancers from around the world to Santa Fe and for his dedication to preserving the dance’s ethnic and cultural art form.—Whitney Spivey

International Folk Art Market the 12th annual event showcases artists and goods from around the world
by Whitne y Spive y
SANTA FE’S POPULATION JUMPS by about 30 percent July 10–12 when more than 20,000 visitors descend upon Museum Hill for the 12th annual International Folk Art Market. “This is the largest international folk art market of its kind in the world,” says publicist Clare Hertel. “It is a leading international destination for cultural art—not to mention a whole lot of fun.” More than 150 artists from 57 countries participate in the weekend, including approximately 60 new artists from places such as China, Burkina Faso, and Paraguay, many of whom have never before left their villages. Chosen by a panel of experts from more than 400 applicants, they arrive in Santa Fe through some combination of buses, boats, camels, cars, and planes. Their work often reinterprets ancient, cultural traditions—beadwork, carvings, ceramics, glass, jewelry, and more—that makes Santa Fe feel as if all the art in the world is perched on Museum Hill. “It would take a lifetime to travel and find the exceptional folk art treasures that are readily available at this market,” says cofounder Judy Espinar. “By keeping the vitality and cultural values of [the artists’] homelands alive through their art amidst a mass-produced world, the Market is the real thing.” New this year—thanks to President Obama’s announcement in December 2014 that he would normalize diplomatic relations with Cuba and increase travel and commerce with the island country— is a large contingent of master Cuban painters. These men and women are known for their arte naïf paintings, which are dynamic,

colorful, and immediate works that capture scenes from everyday life: baseball, farming, music, religion, and more. “The first thing that our work demonstrates is the sense of belonging and the great love that we the painters have for our community and all its parts,” explains artist Louis Joaquin Rodriguez. “Our objective is to guarantee that the traditions of our community are preserved along with our cultural identity.” The same is true for all artists at the International Folk Art Market. “Each object becomes the starting point for a journey that leads to the artists and the stories behind their work,” Espinar says. “When you touch a piece of extraordinary art, you can’t help but be touched by the artists themselves.” International Folk Art Market, July 10–12, times vary, $15–$225, Museum Hill, 706 Camino Lejo, folkartalliance.org July 9, 2015 NOW 15
ART Santa Fe a weekend of modern art in old downtown
IN JULY, ART SANTA FE turns 15 and celebrates with an Opening Night Gala Vernissage (July 9, 5–8 pm, $100) followed by a weekend-long fair featuring modern and contemporary art from more than 150 artists from seven countries. “We will be highlighting art from Cuba with a special installation of kinetic sculptures by Aurora Molina, called Los Pioneros; and a film about 12 Cuban artists, entitled Alumbrones, which will be shown throughout the weekend,” says operations manager Liane McMillian. “There will also be a very exciting installation coming from Japan called the Puzzle Project.” Other highlights of the weekend include a talk hosted by Radius Books about publishing art books and a keynote speech by Don Bacigalupi, resident of the new George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Chicago, Illinois. ART Santa Fe was recently ranked the Fourth Best Art Festival in the country by USA Today, which gives a shout-out to Santa Fe’s art scene as a whole. “After enjoying the eye candy at the Santa Fe Convention Center event,” the author writes, “festival attendees have their pick of the city’s some 240 art galleries and handful of world-class museums to enjoy.” Sounds like a good weekend to us.

Hotel Chimayó’s Low ‘n Slow Bar Travel back in time at the automobile-themed Low ’n Slow Bar inside Hotel Chimayó de Santa Fe, which features custom-car-inspired décor such as glass-topped steering wheel tables and a hubcap-adorned hanging light fixture. The Smoky Manhattan cocktail seen here gets its name from Santa Fe Spirits’ Colkegan whiskey, made from 100 percent mesquite-smoked, malted barley. Trendy but authentic Angostura aromatic bitters add hints of cardamom, nutmeg, and cinnamon; and a sweet vermouth gives the attractive beverage a glowing red tone. A secret ingredient finishes the concoction. “Our menu was designed by Santa Fe Spirits, so it’s their secret ingredient,” says bartender Wesley Scott (pictured), whose lips are sealed. “But I will say that Colkegan is a very mild whiskey, very balanced, just perfect for this light sipping drink.”—Cristina Olds hotelchimayo.com July 9, 2015 NOW 17

openings | reviews | artists The Poetry of Color: Susanna Hester
Susanna Hester interprets the colors she paints, rather than simply painting the colors she sees. She calls this “the poetry of color, not the replication of what we thought we saw and try to remember.” Citing Ludwig Wittgenstein’s “Remarks on Colour,” in which the Austrian philosopher states, “There is no such thing as the pure colour concept,” Hester challenges us to remember what we experience when we observe a landscape. “At most we capture an emotion,” she says; these she recaptures in the forms of colors. “My favorite painting is Red Mesa,” continues Hester, “because it dislocates my preconditions and logic. I look for all art to do that for me so I can experience without the layers of prejudice.” The public is invited to view Hester’s landscapes to experience these very personal moments firsthand. Each poetic interpretation will differ from that of the previous viewer, or the next. —Anne Maclachlan The Poetry of Color, July 10–August 31 Opening reception July 10, 5–7 pm, free, Bill Hester Fine Art, 613 Canyon, billhesterfineart.com

“I am an artist and a thinker,” Stanziola says. “Everything I put in and leave out has a meaning.”

Laura Stanziola
the uncanny artist
“In the last 20 years, I’ve found myself using traditional women’s craft techniques—knitting and embroidery—in fine arts,” Stanziola says. “I’ve been knitting since I was seven years old, so I knit pretty quickly.”
This head is part of a 5-foot, 7-inch human figure that hung in the middle of a 17th-century anatomical theater surrounded by 24 pairs of knitted conjoined twins. The installation showed at CCA in 2000.
Before she was an artist, Laura Stanziola was a psychotherapist—a career that still lingers in her current work. Her journals, for example, explore themes such as sexual perversity. In black ink, she pens her research, and in red ink, she creates dialogue. “I process the information through my thoughts,” she says, noting that she also fills the pages with original artwork so that the people who purchase the notebooks “are not just buying my thinking.” Stanziola is perhaps best known for her anatomically correct knitted wire sculptures of the organs. Recently, though, she says, “I’m kind of moving away from that,” noting that her new body of work focuses on monsters. “I don’t want to die known as the conjoined twin artist.”—Whitney Spivey Laura Stanziola, uncannyartist.com

IN 2011, A TREE FELL on a power line near Los Alamos, sparking a wildfire that seared through more than 150,000 acres of the Santa Fe National Forest. The smoke rose dramatically into the skies over Santa Fe, drawing the gazes of awed spectators and the lens of fine-art photographer Rumi Vesselinova. Since moving to Phoenix, Arizona, from her native Bulgaria in 1997, Vesselinova has captured the landscapes of the Southwest. She’s followed the sun from dramatic rise to colorful set, and taken in both epic expanses and its finest grain of sand. But in recent years, her attention has focused on a variation: humans’ impact on the landscape. Although not documentary in style—her latest images are still quite stylized—this direction is somewhat of a return for Vesselinova, who spent much of her early career working for a national photography service in Bulgaria. “Photography was my first vocation and love,” she says. “It’s very immediate, and it gets right to the point. As long as you’re able to do it properly, a good photograph is a very potent medium. It’s such a succinct way to express emotion.” Her photography has taken her to Costa Rica, Greece, Mexico, and Hawaii, to name just a few. Vesselinova accompanied her husband to Phoenix and then to Santa Fe, when he was offered a position in 2000 at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he works in environmental science. Indeed, it was his position in Los Alamos that allowed her to explore off-limits areas shortly after the 2011 Los Conchas fire, the subject of her most recent series of images. In Sketches in Charcoal and Fire, Vesselinova shares two perspectives on the

The latter results in nearly monochromatic images of the altered landscape that look much like charcoal drawings or etchings. “It is clear now that drought and warming of the Southwest will make disasters such as the Las Conchas fire more common and more dangerous,” she says. “My work acknowledges this new reality . . . not in any political terms but rather as an artistic message. Then again, art is never apolitical per se.” Of late, Vesselinova’s muses have led her in yet a new direction. She’s begun capturing how humans and computers interact, and the light emissions from gadgets—the technological landscape that is changing our surroundings as rapidly and dramatically as a wildfire.

Acclaimed guitarist Łukasz Kuropaczewski will astound your senses.
CHECK YOUR COLLECTIONS. The Studio at Santa Fe Indian School (1932–1962) produced a host of world-class artists: Allan Houser, Harrison Begay, Pablita Velarde, among others. Adobe Gallery is hosting a special exhibit of 10 watercolors on paper by eight students from The Studio class of 1943. Although only two of these young talents continued with their art careers, these iconic two-dimensional works represent a generation of artists fostered to express their cultural traditions through representative art. The works were acquired by gallery owner Alexander E. Anthony Jr., as a unit from a collector in Albuquerque, without a definitive provenance. The set, which is uniformly framed in wood, is thought to have been purchsed by Conrad Hilton for his Albuquerque hotel, which he opened in 1939. Most pieces have notations on the back indicating that they were Hilton properties at one time. In a recent interview, Ramos Sanchez (San Ildefonso Pueblo), a student in 1943, remembers being paid $400 by Conrad Hilton for his painting of two eagle dancers. At the time, Sanchez recalls, his usual payment was only a few dollars. From a distinguished family of artists, Sanchez, in his 80s, has recently returned to painting and now shows at Indian Market. Delicate and evocative of traditional themes, the colelction ranges from ceremonial (as in the work of Sanchez) to a sensitive corn and melon rendering with rain clouds by Reyes Lovato (Santo Domingo), and represents The Studio direction of Dorothy Dunn, who encouraged “flat-style” painting. Poignant in its clear connections with nature and the earth and its passion for the subject, as in Rita Martinez’s Taos Lady Getting Water, this exhibit inhabits the Southwest and haunts us with its purity and authenticity.

ACRYLIC PAINTS AND THE TECHNIQUES used to apply them to canvas are the tools Hilario Gutierrez employs when channeling his deepest feelings into his abstract paintings. Eleven new works from his Strata series were created for his solo show What Can’t Be Spoken, which opens July 10 at Tansey Contemporary. Gutierrez isn’t trying to convey any particular message through these new works. However, he does hint at the feelings he was experiencing when he conceived their titles. Each painting started with a story created in his mind. Then, before paint was applied to canvas, came the title. “The title is important to identifying the painting,” Gutierrez explains. “It’s the way I want viewers to connect themselves to the work. They read the title, which opens the door for them to find their own meaning in the painting.” An artist of 20 years, Gutierrez left a career as a hair stylist and salon owner to become a full-time painter. He had an aha moment during a trip to Monument Valley on New Year’s Day in 1995 when he realized that he needed to start painting—even though he had never worked with paints before. “I bought acrylics and spent the next two years learning how to control paint,” says the Phoenix, Arizona–based artist. “I worked on my own during those two years.” Part of his early process included spending time in the Sonoran Desert and other areas of the Southwest, observing the intricacies of the landscape. He’s inspired by what he calls “the chaos in nature.” Rather than documenting land formations, rocks, and minerals through drawings or photos and using these materials for reference, he’s always been more interested in what he feels about the desert. Viewing himself as a brush rather than a creator, he translates his emotions and feelings into strokes on canvas. His paintings are an expression of the emotions and feelings that pass through him. “The paintings aren’t about me at all,” he says. “They have a life of their own. I’m as surprised at the end of the painting process as anyone else.” This is not to say that Gutierrez is unconcerned about his audience when he creates new paintings. “I do paint for the viewer,” he says. “I need the public to respond to my work.” What Can’t Be Spoken, July 10–August 8, reception July 10, free, 5–7 pm, Tansey Contemporary, 652 Canyon, tanseycontemporary.com

PREVIEWS Beckie Kravetz: Love, Death, Revenge Tansey Contemporary 619 Canyon, tanseycontemporary.com Through August 31 Almost nothing evokes passions as well as the great operas; however, inspired by the classics of Verdi, Bizet, Wagner, Puccini, and Ponchielli, Beckie Kravetz has created dynamic, multilayered sculptures that elicit deep emotions. Kravetz’s mixed-media work features key operatic themes sculpted into each piece, as in the ill-fated lovers Siegmund and Sieglinde (below); forever gazing yet never to touch. —Anne Maclachlan

STUDIO
Sean Wimberly can often be found strolling the tree-lined trails near his Albuquerque home. “I like to paint a more intimate view of New Mexico landscapes,” he says, “such as walking down a colorful pathway through an aspen forest, wondering what lies around the bend, or looking through a shady, partially open Santa Fe gate and into the garden beyond.” The self-taught acrylic artist developed his impressionistic style of laying thick strokes of color on canvas with a palette knife after years of trial and error; today his work can be found in the New Mexico State Fair permanent collection, and as prints for the Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Weems Artfest. In Santa Fe, he’s represented by Bill Hester Fine Art, where he’s pictured below painting Golden Sunset, (acrylic on canvas, 24 x 24") en plein air as part of last year’s Paint Out event.—Cristina Olds seanwimberly.fineartstudioonline.com

Jason Chakravarty and Sean Hennessey: Kiss My Glass, The William&Joseph Gallery 727 Canyon, thewilliamandjosephgallery.com Through July 31 “These two artists have created bodies of work that make us laugh, make us think, and ask us to see glass in a new light,” says gallery owner Mary Bonney about the works of Jason Chakravarty and Sean Hennessey, both of whom employ mixed media. Chakravarty likes to use neon, while Hennessey incorporates materials such as concrete, wood, and steel. —Emily Van Cleve 26

Created and performed by an eightperson ensemble, the recent dance performance 123 was composed of solo, duet, and trio performances braided together into one 45-minute show. Performed June 5–7 at the New Mexico School for the Arts, 123 explored themes of self, community, and habitat; the energetic performance was filled with contemporary movement that integrated the gymnasium’s ladder, scoreboard, and doors. “The narrative was seated in this peculiar sort of microscopic view of human relationships,” says performer and choreographer Micaela Gardner. The ensemble also included Adam McKinney, Sarah Ashkin, Brittany Delany, Spencer Toll, Miles Tokunow, Ehren Natay, and Sophia Rog, who are part of a collective called Ground Series. “The work was very accessible and the response was great,” Gardner adds. “There were places to hook into the exuberance, and the pure athleticism of the performance had everyone glowing.”—Cristina Olds

The Mil-Tones at Music on the Hill
What do you get when you cross two trumpets, two saxophones, two sousaphones, two trombones, an electric guitar, a bass drum, a snare drum, a tuba, some percussion, and a whole lot of talent? Answer: The MilTones Brass Band and—as in the case of their June 17 show at St. John’s College—one outstanding performance. At the summer’s second Music on the Hill concert, the Mil-Tones dazzled the crowd with their original New Orleans–style songs, alongside Jelly Roll Morton and Led Zeppelin covers. Trumpeter J. Q. Whitcomb calls the band’s sound an “eclectic mix” developed by band leader and Louisiana native Milton Villarrubia III. “The music’s gone in a lot of different directions,” Whitcomb says, which, really, is exactly what you’d expect from a 10-pieceplus, high-energy brass ensemble.—Elizabeth Sanchez
