PUBLISHER’S NOTE
|
IF YOU’VE BEEN OUT AND ABOUT, you’ve probably noticed that things are stirring at the Railyard, especially on Saturday mornings at the Farmer’s Market. I drove by last week to see an eager (and hungry-looking) crowd perusing the many offerings brought in by our local farmers. Fresh produce is yet another sign that spring is upon us. There are indications of spring all over, however. The gallery openings last week were the biggest so far, and there’s a nice group of art shows this weekend. The Santa Fe Symphony is wrapping up with a two-concert Beethoven festival. Other music venues in town are busy, too, with Tucker Binkley at Osteria, flamenco at El Farol, David Geist at Pranzo, and Doug Montgomery at Vanessie. Skylight has a hot DJ to shake things up. For outdoor fun, El Rancho de las Golondrinas has the Fiesta de La Familia—perfect for the whole family. The weather is finally warm and looking good, so shake off those frumpy slippers and enjoy our town. It’s alive!

Author Craig Johnson at Collected Works
CHET CARLSON
Multiple award–winning novelist and short-story writer Craig Johnson will be signing The Highwayman, his latest release in the Longmire crime series, and telling an odd tale or two at Collected Works Bookstore on Wednesday, May 18. Set in Wyoming and billed as a “modern Western,” the books follow the old-fashioned crime-solving prowess of technology-phobic Sheriff Walt Longmire, his best friend Henry Standing Bear, Deputy Victoria “Vic” Moretti, and a slew of other memorable characters. The popular novels’ blend of suspense, humor, and a compassionate take on the human consequences of crime and justice led to their development as an equally popular television series. Since Santa Fe and other nearby locations stand in for Wyoming, Johnson has often scheduled the release date for his books here in the City Different while the series is filming; from time to time, Longmire cast members will appear at the signings. (See page 8 for our interview with Longmire Deputy “The Ferg,” played by Adam Bartley.)—AM Craig Johnson book signing, May 18, 6 pm, free, Collected Works Bookstore, 202 Galisteo, cwbookstore.com

Debrianna Mansini presents The Meatball Chronicles T H E AT E R Food prep and love go together in many variations, and well-known Santa Fe actress Debrianna Mansini explores these recipes in her latest one-woman show, The Meatball Chronicles, beginning this Friday at the Railyard Performance Center. Mansini takes us through the relationships of childhood, family, and sweethearts as she prepares food. “I’ve been thinking about doing a show where I cook for twenty years!” said Mansini recently. Every momentous event in her life, she notes, “happened around a meal or something I was cooking.” She’s not stopping at the staging of her recipes, either—there’s a “meatball party” fundraiser at Restaurant Martín on Saturday, to include show tickets and a postperformance dinner with cocktails. Proceeds will benefit Kitchen Angels.—AM

around town with … Adam Bartley When we first met actor Adam Bartley (who plays Deputy “The Ferg” Ferguson on the Netflix series Longmire, currently filming its fifth season in and around Santa Fe), he was full of excellent suggestions about wining and dining here in the City Different. We took him up on those, and he was right on every count—so we decided to make this a NOW magazine “thing” and asked him to be our debut around town guide. Bartley’s suggestions are in the sidebar, and we plan on following through. Bartley truly loves Santa Fe—he’s been coming here since 2001, has ties to the city beyond those in the film community (whom he warmly praises), and is even considering relocating here. “It’s a human place,” he says of the City Different, adding, “I’m not much for social media.” On that score, Bartley says that he much prefers personal interaction, whether it’s with his fellow cast members or with fans of Longmire. The chance for fans to chat with the cast, whether in Santa Fe or at Wyoming’s “Longmire Days,” means so much, says Bartley, not just because fans like the show, but because “there’s a shared empathy” towards the storylines. Part of the show’s appeal, he continues, is its inclusion of that empathy and integrity onscreen. The storylines follow not just the apprehension of lawbreakers, but the effect that a particular crime has across the community it portrays. Bartley says this humanity comes from the top down, noting that executive producer Greer Shephard maintains a high degree of respect and integrity for the people involved in the production, and “takes the time to communicate— to lift people up.” Bartley, who says that “The Ferg” is the longest role he’s ever played, is a veteran of musical theater and professional singing. Has he given that up for TV roles? Certainly not; Bartley is currently scouting for backup musicians and some Santa Fe locations where he can croon some jazz standards around town. Of course, as soon as he’s set to go, we will have that information in our NOW Buzz section. See page 3 for information about Longmire author Craig Johnson signing the latest in his series at Collected Works on May 18. 8

dining: Bartley’s best breakfast: “There’s no better meal than at The Pantry,” insists Bartley. “It’s consistently excellent, and the service is friendly.” His top pick here? “Anything with red chile.” dinner: Paper Dosa (Bartley’s top dinner pick) is “truly incredible” and a rare find for lovers of Indian food. Joseph’s of Santa Fe for best group dining, says Bartley. “Joseph is a great host.” Vinaigrette and Izanami also make the Bartley list, with Izanami providing “some of the best Japanese food.” coffee and lunch: Tune-Up Café, a Santa Fe favorite, is also one of Bartley’s. He’s also a fan of Betterday Coffee, where “the food is extremely underrated; a hidden secret.” Not for long now, we told him. best margaritas: Raoul’s margarita at La Posada. You have to have a drink with Raoul, Bartley stresses. He also highly recommends the margaritas at Maria’s.

art openings reviews artists
Inspired by wilderness creatures and the natural wonders of the world, especially in relation to humans, Kiki Smith designs tapestries that reflect the rest of her portfolio: printmaking, sculpture, and drawing. Presenting Smith’s solo exhibition Woven Tales, the Peters Projects will display 11 of these evocative tapestries—which form a narrative—that will be exhibited together for the first time. Larger than six by nine feet, each woven artwork results from a collaboration between Smith and Magnolia Editions, where the pieces are created on a jacquard loom. Coinciding with Smith’s exhibition is a show of prints by other artists that work with Magnolia Studios, including Guillermo Galindo and Chuck Close. —Stephanie Love Woven Tales, May 13–July 30, reception May 13, 5–7 pm, Peters Projects, 1011 Paseo de Peralta, petersprojects.com

John Barker not just real estate by Stepha nie Love
“Working in real estate was very different until I understood it was like making art,” says painter and property manager John Barker of Barker Realty. He explains that buying and repairing a house creates something imaginative, something enjoyable, “just like a painting.” This dedication and passion for art drives his life outside of the real estate world and fosters success in both professions. Barker’s local family history began with N.B. Laughlin, who rode on horseback from Missouri to Santa Fe in 1879. Laughlin’s grandson, Laughlin Barker, opened Barker Realty in 1965 and recruited his son David—John’s brother—around 1978. John Barker eventually left his creative fields—assisting New York City artists Rudi Stern, Paul Jenkins, and Larry Poons plus working at Disney in California—to join the family trade 20 years after college. Perpetually an artist, however, he found constant inspiration in the Southwestern scenery. “I like landscapes of old buildings and broken signs and subdivision homes with dirty cars,” he observes. “Nothing is permanent.” The concept of impermanence inspired Barker to pursue his talents; he began painting his subjects in a gestural, chaotic style he calls “distractionism.” He soon found that his dual lives actually complement each other. His relentless real estate schedule has encouraged him to enforce strict studio hours, and he wakes up every morning around five to paint for two hours. “I distract myself from the realty,” Barker says. “It is the best part of the day, and I paint in my pajamas; and I make big scribbles; and I let the dogs out; and I don’t know where I am anymore.” Barker’s painting provides an outlet for selfexpression, helping him alleviate stress before his busy day. His emotions occur outside of the office on colorful, abstracted canvases. As he explains, “Most of today’s art is from the head, but my paintings are from my heart.” John Barker: Two Ring Circus, May 10–30, reception May 13, 5–7 pm, Turner Carroll Gallery, 725 Canyon, turnercarrollgallery.com 12

Radiance Winterowd Fine Art 701 Canyon, May 13–26, reception May 13, 5–7 pm Featuring the works of Susan Pasquarelli and Karen Bexfield, this twoartist show highlights organic, yet geometric, forms in both watercolor and glass sculpture. Pasquarelli’s vibrantly patterned paintings do not literally depict the natural elements that inspire her, but their energy and color reflects her love of the environments around her. Bexfield has a similar goal for her pieces. “Within me, my artwork evokes a sense of tranquility, a reflection of nature’s organic patterns: a balance of simple geometry and pure chance,” she says. Bexfield’s sculptures, made from glass, may appear fragile, but their forms suggest strength.—SL
