Not surprisingly, artists in the Santa Fe area have a wealth of subject matter to choose from, given the natural beauty that surrounds our city. For many of us tied to our careers and lives in town, we forget that just a few short miles (or, in some cases, steps) from our day-to-day lives, natural beauty abounds.

Many of the gallery openings this Friday night feature art drawn from nature. Rick Stevens at Hunter Kirkland has a whole body of work based on inspiration from the natural world. The bark of a tree, a rock covered in lichen, rays of sunlight slanting through a stand of trees—all of these elements serve to trigger his awe of the perfection inherent in all that surrounds him and to also spark his creative expression. Like many artists, Stevens isn’t drawing from the vastness of the American West but rather from small and otherwise overlooked details.

Noel Hart at Tansey Contemporary has bird themes, Isabelle Dupuy at Santa Fe Art Collector paints trees and flowers, and the artists in the show opening at Pippin Contemporary take inspiration from nature. Same thing with Edwina Milner (whose work is on the cover of the current issue of the Santa Fean) at New Concept Gallery and David Jonason at Meyer East, both of whom reach to nature.

As I’m hiking and biking this weekend, I hope these artists’ interpretations of nature help me to see the art that is in the nature that surrounds you and me.

SHOPPING IN SANTA FE

From the time of the ancient Anazasi, the Santa Fe area has been a trading center. The Santa Fe Trail is synonymous with the romance of the old west, and from the time of New Mexico statehood in 1912, Santa Fe has been a multicultural art center and shoppers’ paradise.

music This summer, Santa Fe is one of more than 400 cities uniting for a worldwide music party. On June 21, the Santa Fe Music Alliance hosts Make Music Santa Fe in the Railyard as part of a global initiative that sees concerts performed simultaneously on the summer solstice. “Santa Fe is a perfect city for Make Music International,” says SFMA president and musician John Widell (aka Johny Broomdust). “With an art-and-culture scene that rivals cities 100 times its size, Santa Fe is host to thousands of visitors from all over the world.” Adds SFMA Vice President Busy McCarroll: “A music event of this kind magnifies the collective creative energy that is universally felt when live music happens simultaneously on a global level because it’s supported on a local level.”

The concert is free and open to the public. Chicano rock band Lumbre Del Sol, alt-country group Hot Honey, BUSY & The Crazy 88, and guitarist Anthony Leon are among the performers.

“The world knows of Santa Fe as a major arts community, but I don’t think it’s known that we have just as strong of a music scene here as well,” says McCarroll. That may be changing.

The party starts at 4 pm.—Phil Parker

COURTESY OF THE LIGHT SURGEONS

The Light Surgeons bring their multimedia performance piece SuperEverything to the Lensic on Friday, June 20.

The Light Surgeons’ SuperEverything As part of CURRENTS: The Santa Fe International New Media Festival, London-based multimedia artists The Light Surgeons bring their compelling performance piece SuperEverything to the Lensic on Friday, June 20. Part cutting-edge music concert, part video art installation, SuperEverything is described as being an exploration of “the relationships between identity, ritual, and place” set against the physical and cultural landscapes of Malaysia. Commissioned by the British Council, which promotes international educational opportunities and cultural relations, and created in collaboration with a group of Malaysian artists and musicians, SuperEverything sets documentary footage and motion graphics against live music by Malaysian composer and musician Ng Chor Guan and recorded music

by Malaysian musicians and a Chinese drumming group.

SuperEverything is one of the many multimedia shows The Light Surgeons have developed and then performed around the world for the last 15 years. And while it showcases certain conditions specific to Malaysia, one of Southeast Asia’s most rapidly changing countries (due to technological development, urbanization, and deforestation, among other factors), SuperEverything speaks to common concerns and connections and to shared human experiences.

“We wanted to make a piece of work that would have a universal resonance and connect with international audiences,” says The Light Surgeons’ founder, Christopher Thomas Allen. “Although SuperEverything is firmly focused on the country of Malaysia, it looks at this country through a group of people, through their relationships with their culture, their 6

identities, their everyday rituals, and their sense of place in a very fast-changing world. These are all things that I think we can relate to wherever we are in the world at this time. The piece asks fundamental questions about our human condition in the 21st century.”—Emily Van Cleve

Son Como Son at the Santa Fe Bandstand When the horns and conga drums of hot salsa band Son Como Son start shaking the Santa Fe Bandstand on Wednesday, June 25, sitting won’t be an option—and you can definitely forget about standing still.

“Normally when we play, it’s a dance party,” says trumpeter Paul Gonzales, adding that band leader, singer, and trombone player César Bauvallet “has a way of getting everybody on their feet and having a good time. He gets everybody feeling like they’re friends.”

Something of a salsa ambassador, the Cubanborn Bauvallet founded Son Como Son 21 years ago. The group has played locally and regionally, with little change in personnel, ever since.

Gonzales jokes that he’s the newcomer, since he’s only been with the band for 20 years. That kind of

Son Como Son performs at the Santa Fe Bandstand on Thursday, June 25.

WORD WORD

stability creates a tight band that clicks through its rhythmically complex music with psychic precision. Original tunes by Bauvallet make up most of Son Como Son’s repertoire these days, along with a few classic covers as a tribute to its roots. For this Santa Fe show, the group is likely to lean heavily on its recently released CD Modesto y Original, which has been nominated for four New Mexico Music Awards.

Bauvallet says that the band’s name has a double meaning. “We play son, a kind of Cuban music, the way it’s supposed to be played,” he notes. Son is to salsa as blues is to early rock and roll—the starter fluid that ignited a genre. The second meaning is an unapologetic commitment to authenticity. “It means ‘they are like they are.’ We do what we need to do and don’t get involved!” he laughs.

With its roots in Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean, salsa epitomizes contemporary Latin dance music, covering broad musical territory. Whether it’s Cuban or Puerto Rican or Dominican, it three-steps along on a distinct clave (or rhythm pattern)—you know it when

you hear it. So do your feet. For Son Como Son, “it’s going to be Cuban–style salsa music, a little bit more aggressive and energetic, with more intricate horn lines than regular salsa,” Bauvallet says. And he should know. A graduate of the Amadeo Roldán Conservatory in Havana, he was gigging around the city as a teenager. Bauvallet moved to Albuquerque in 1992 because his sister lived there.

“I fell in love with New Mexico and New Mexicans” and decided to stay, he says.

Maybach film productions

ecoterrorism eats at a man’s soul An environmental activist in Oregon wants to hit back against multinational corporations polluting the planet and decides to blow up a dam. “It’s gonna be big,” he says. “People are gonna start thinking.”

Night Moves, the new film by director Kelly Reichart, is about the planning, execution, and aftermath of that bombing. Josh, Dena, and Harmon are incensed by all the golf courses they see soaking up vital water in their high desert environment and by all the salmon that die “so you can run your . . . iPod every day of your life.” They buy a boat, fill it with treated fertilizer and a few sticks of dynamite, and KABOOM! Night Moves is also about guilt. Scenes throb with an intense paranoia that would make Alfred Hitchcock proud. The movie stays with Josh, played by a steely and excellent Jesse Eisenberg. Josh gets a moment (in bed the morning after the bombing) to savor the satisfaction of the message his actions sent. But then he learns that more than the dam was lost in the blast, and his mind and life start melting away.

George Hayduke and The Monkey Wrench Gang this ain’t. Night Moves is sad and serious, a stress cooker set to slow burn. It feels excruciatingly real and lays bare an epic global mismatch. Josh and Dena (Dakota Fanning) watch a movie early in the film:

“How long until multinational corporations understand they can’t make a profit off a dead planet?” asks a narrator. “So let the revolution begin,” he adds. Josh thinks he knows what needs to be done, but he has to do it himself, with his own hands. There’s no evading fault if anyone dies.

If multinational corporations are killing the planet, they don’t have blood on their hands because they’re not people. That’s why the fight isn’t fair. Josh does something destructive and dirty, and the consequences eat at his soul. For big-time polluters, who are far removed from nature, that isn’t an issue.

Night Moves is playing at The Screen.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood the blues rock band takes to the stage at Sol Santa Fe

Proving that the guitar-based jam-band genre has survived the demise of Jerry Garcia, the departure of Dickey Betts from the Allman Brothers Band, and the on/off switching of Phish, the Chris

In concert, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood is all about layered guitar noodling, modal melodic explorations, and the sonic pursuit of bliss.

by C h a r le s C. Poling

Robinson Brotherhood hits the stage at Sol Santa Fe on Thursday, June 25, with a lineup of new songs from their latest LP, Phosphorescent Harvest—available in vinyl, no less.

If that record title strikes you as appealingly trippy and suggestively plausible, you’d better get your tickets to the show. In concert, the Brotherhood is all about layered guitar noodling, modal melodic explorations, and the sonic pursuit of bliss. They expand into late-’60s Fillmore-esque extended grooves and have the musicianship required to back up their claim to a stage on the jam-band Mount Olympus.

Sometimes you’ll hear the psychedelia of early Jefferson Airplane, sometimes a hint of the country rocker Gram Parsons, and sometimes the loping bass lines and high harmonies of the Grateful Dead (especially when they cover “Sugaree”), which is no surprise considering Phil Lesh and Bob Weir have both sat-in during live shows.

Fronted by Chris Robinson—apparently eager to establish the band as an entity apart from his day job singing and playing guitar in the Black Crowes—the Brotherhood has cranked out three albums since 2012. Phosphorescent Harvest, more earthy than cosmic and more rootsy than experimental, keeps most songs under eight minutes. During their performance at Sol Santa Fe, figure you can double that.

Playing for Change’s Songs Around the World project unites musicians from various countries and cultures and has them perform together on the same song.

Ten musicians will perform as part of Playing for Change’s June 24 show at Sol Santa Fe.

WORD WORD

Playing for Change the mixed-genre band brings its music—and its mission—to Santa Fe

by E m i l y Van C lev e Founded in 2002 by Mark Johnson, a Grammy Award–winning producer and engineer, and Whitney Kroenke, a choreographer, dancer, and actress, Playing for Change is both a band and a movement. Over the past 12 years, the Los Angeles–based duo has traveled the world in search of great music, which they believe can connect people from disparate backgrounds and ultimately lead to a peaceful coexistence. In 2005, Johnson and Kroenke initiated their Songs Around the World project, which unites musicians (who may or may not meet and work together in person) from various countries and cultures and has them perform on the same song. The first endeavor released under this guise was a cover of the 1961 Ben E. King hit “Stand By Me,” which featured more than 35 musicians from 10 countries.

Currently, Playing for Change, which has performed in arenas around the world and recorded with the likes of Keith Richards, among other great talents, is in the middle of a 27-city tour called Peace Through Music in support of its third CD/DVD release, Playing for Change 3: Songs Around the World. On Tuesday, June 24, the group takes to the stage at Sol Santa Fe. Ten 16

musicians will be performing together, including New Orleans vocalist, harmonica player, and street musician Grandpa Elliot; Japanese keyboard player Keiko Komaki, who also lives in New Orleans; Los Angeles drummer and producer Peter Bunetta, who’s collaborated with Smokey Robinson, Patti LaBelle, and Tina Turner; Zimbabwean guitarist Louis Mhlanga; and Cuban bass player Orbe Ortiz.

“The Santa Fe performance will have songs from the two past collections of music we’ve put together, including old American soul, blues, reggae, South African Zulu funk, and African salsa,” Johnson says. “There will be lots of recognizable tunes,” he adds, “but the musicians are also going to do some new songs, too.”

Having been at Luminaria’s stoves since late May, Executive Chef Marc Quiñones, formerly of Bien Shur at Sandia Resort and Casino, is rolling out an updated dinner menu in July that showcases “contemporary global cuisine with a strong Santa Fe flair.” One of Quiñones’s exciting new dishes is wild Pacific halibut with lavender corn pudding, baby heirloom tomatoes confit, and apricot gastrique (seen here). “Halibut, through November, is going to be phenomenal, and I wanted to celebrate that,” Quiñones says. “Stacking flavor with the beautiful corn and lavender [of] New Mexico gives the dish a velvety, luxurious feel in its flavor and aesthetic.”—Cristina Olds Luminaria, innatloretto.com

a s olo ex h i b it ion s howca s e s t he wor k of a r t i s t a nd a r t e n t hu s ia s t Edwina Milne r

by B a r ba ra Tyne r

Edwina Milner has been an artist for most of her 83 years, but Santa Feans may know her best as an art-world shaper rather than an art maker. Milner, founder of the New Mexico Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, has lent her creative vision to nearly every museum board in town, influencing who and what we see in our local museums. She and her husband, Charles, are also responsible for Museum Hill’s Milner Plaza, which is home to two museums, a café, and the best views in town.

But the busy board member has been busy with her paintbrush all along, and with the opening of her one-woman show Golden Paths at New Concept Gallery in June, that secret is out. Her work, vivid in acrylic paint and gold leaf, bears the signature vibrant flair of the artist herself; no grays or halftones here. (Gustav Klimt would appreciate his sparkly, mosaic influence.) Milner translates memory, history, and emotion into silky abstract form, and each of the show’s 50 original works maps a journey, a life, defined by decisions made and paths taken (or not taken).

“It all depends on the paths you choose, the chances you take, and the events that come your way,” Milner says. “Is it a simple path? An expanded one? A magical one? A daring path, full of curves, turns, stars, and bright lights?” We know the paths Milner has taken just by looking at her jewel-like pieces. “My paths and decisions have been golden,”

she says, smiling.

Milner’s artistic journey began with her earning a scholarship to the University of Texas, Austin, and her mother relocating their family from Oklahoma to make things easier for the young artist.

Milner eventually embarked on a 50-plus-year adventure that included stints as an artist, fashion illustrator, and art teacher in Houston before retiring and finding herself busier than ever as a Santa Fe mover and shaker.

So has Milner finally traded the boardroom for her warm, light-filled studio overlooking piñon-studded hills? “Not quite,” she says. “But it’s so thrilling to go into my studio in the morning and have one of those magic days—you know, when every brushstroke is perfect. And the next day, well, it might not be one of those magic days. The brushstrokes might not cooperate. But you can always paint over them.” If only board meetings could be like that.

Magic Square Chalk Farm Gallery hosts Lukáš Kándl’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.

“My painting is a mix of strange and magic,” Lukáš Kándl has said.

3 Petites Perles en Jeu, oil on canvas, 18 x 22"

Czech–born artist Lukáš Kándl, known around the world for his magic realism works, holds his first solo exhibition in the United States at Chalk Farm Gallery on June 20.

“My painting is somewhere between surrealism and fantastic, a mix of strange and magic,” Kándl has said. His show Magic Square will feature a number of original oil paintings and limited-edition giclées depicting horses and cats in mysterious and otherworldly guises, at times evoking both playfulness and peril.

In Les Chats Sourient 5, two cats, whose tails are elongated in snakelike curls, climb up a box and balance precariously amid eyes and a circus ball.

Pearls seem to float at will—a familiar image in Kándl’s paintings.

Kándl, who lives and works in SaintGermain-en-Laye, France, studied at Prague’s College of Art, Academy of Applied Art, and Academy of Fine Arts. Since making his debut in a solo show in Germany in 1973, his work has been exhibited in Europe, Asia, and Australia and in permanent gallery collections in America. Chalk Farm owner Suhana Gibson, who’s drawn to fantastical imagery because, she says, “you can see reality right outside your doorstep,” shares a number of professional connections with Kándl, which eventually led to her representing his work in her Canyon Road space.

Magic Square takes its name from a practice Kándl engages in with all of his paintings. On each piece, he writes a correlative sentence amid a square of 64 characters and keeps the code for deciphering the sentence secret.

Kándl has arranged for the code to be revealed after his passing, as a means of authenticating whether or not a work in question is indeed one of his own. Other fanciful notations are hidden amid Kándl’s painted figures, so viewers should be sure to take a good look at the works in person.

Wilderness Within painter Rick Stevens evokes the essence of his inspiration in his latest exhibition

by Emi l y Van Cl eve

All Is Metamorphosis, oil on canvas, 48 x 48"

Untitled No. 27-14, pastel on paper, 27 x 26"

If the vertical lines in Rick Stevens’s latest abstract oil and pastel paintings appear to be trees, that’s because nature is the artist’s primary muse. He’s not thinking about trees, bushes, flowers, leaves, and water when he begins working, however. He doesn’t have to.

Since he’s spent countless hours painting outdoors over the past several decades, these images are always floating around in his mind.

Stevens’s new show at Hunter Kirkland Contemporary, Wilderness Within, features 25 abstract paintings—paintings that depict the essence of nature and celebrate the life force that suffuses all living things, but these works are also a response to the artist’s love for many different 24

genres of music, including contemporary classical, jazz, and ambient electronic.

After attending a concert at the Lensic in Santa Fe or a gig at the Outpost Performance Space in Albuquerque, Stevens is often energized and ready to begin a new work based on visual images that came to him while listening to the music. “I can get a clear sense of the direction I want to go in with a painting after hearing music,” Stevens says. “I see patterns in music.

Sometimes I jot down notes about the patterns I see. These patterns can become integrated into a painting,” he adds.

When Stevens wants to paint a big textural piece, he reaches for oils. If he wants an immediate and more intimate painting experience, he gets out his pastels and paper. And while he may make a preliminary sketch or two, none of his paintings are preconceived. The colors and compositions evolve organically, and his materials often generate ideas. It’s all about making a mark, and then responding to that mark.

Mark White: A Pond Reflection Mark White Fine Art 414 Canyon, markwhitefineart.com Through June 30 Anyone who’s ever walked down Canyon Road past Mark White’s eponymous gallery will have undoubtedly noticed his kinetic outdoor sculptures, with their mesmerizing mottled patinas and counter-revolving pieces. In addition to being a sculptor, White, who hails from Illinois and studied sociology and art, is also a painter. He says the commonality in his work is the fourth dimension—what he defines as “movement: real and implied.” In addition, “there seems to be an ongoing dialectic between the world I see as sculpted and the world I see as painted,” he notes.

“In my Reflection series of paintings, I’m fascinated by the surface of water that is both transparent and reflective [as well as] constantly in motion.”—ET

Fans headed outdoors last weekend to see legendary blues rock guitarist Jimmie Vaughan and the Tilt-A-Whirl Band kick off the Railyard’s Summer Concert Series. Vaughan’s famously infectious sounds, notable in his solo work and with his former band The Fabulous Thunderbirds, kept the throngs on their feet all night long. “The scene was magical,” says Jamie Lenfestey of Heath Concerts, which presents the series. “It was one of the biggest Railyard concert crowds yet, with people of all ages, little kids to retirees, dancing and having a great time.” Lenfestey added that blues singer Lou Ann Barton, who performed with the band, “killed for her portion of the show.”

The series continues through August 31.—Cristina Olds 28
