SHOPPING IN SANTA FE
From the time of the ancient Anasazi, 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.

NOW THAT IT’S FINALLY feeling like spring, get out and enjoy the weather we’ve been waiting for all winter. There’s a lot happening on the local club scene this weekend, and there are excellent gallery openings Friday night. But what will really put you in a spring mood is the annual Outside Bike and Brew Festival. With its bicycle-friendly setting—especially its great mountain bike trails and road bike routes—Santa Fe provides a scenic and interesting location for serious cycling. (Appropriately, this past week has been the annual Bike to Work Week.) Santa Fe also has its fair share of microbreweries, and if there’s one thing cyclists like to do after a ride, it’s enjoy a cold beer. A locally brewed, handcrafted beer is so much the better, which means that, for cyclists this weekend, the Outside Bike and Brew Festival is the perfect activity. Ride safe, have fun, and be sure to check out Santa Fe’s great local breweries.
Santa Fe is a top US art center, with museums, shopping, year-round outdoor activities, top flight restaurants, spas, and world famous cultural events. It’s not just your grandparents’ Santa Fe, it’s walkable, historic, charming, and exciting. A high desert destination of distinction and fun.

The Power of Place
Abiquiú-based artist Doug Coffin is best known for his monumental steel and mixed-media sculptures, such as the one seen here, which was recently installed at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden at Museum Hill.
Plants aren’t the only things currently shooting up at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden. More than a dozen sculptures—most of them bronze, steel, or stone—have been installed along the institution’s Art Trail, which wends its way through the highest area of the property, as part of an invitational exhibit called The Power of Place. The sculptures are by some of New Mexico’s most celebrated artists, including Kevin Box, Bill Barrett, Doug Coffin, David DeStafeno, Tammy Garcia, Phillip Haozous, Allan Houser, Estella Loretto, Frank Morbillo, Arlo Namingha, Dan Namingha, Michael Naranjo, Bill Prokopiof, David Pearson, Gilberto Romero, and Roxanne Swentzell. Santa Fe Botanical Garden CEO Clayton Bass and board member Letitia Chambers co-curated the show.—Whitney Spivey

At Fledermarket (a.k.a. the Santa Fe Opera’s estate sale) on May 16, shoppers can browse through and purchase everything from sporting goods and jewelry to framed art and silverware, much of it by brand name designers such as Tiffany, Gucci, and Stetson. The Guilds of the Santa Fe Opera is organizing the event and is selling items to meet a $50,000 pledge to the Setting the Stage capital campaign, which will finance three phases of renovations to SFO facilities. The first phase is already complete, and market attendees will be able to see the refreshed spaces—as well as have a rare chance to step on the opera stage and preview sets for SFO’s production of The Daughter of the Regiment—during backstage tours from 10 am to 1 pm. On May 15, at the market’s Fleaview preview, bargain hunters can get first dibs on sale items while sipping selections from Black Mesa Winery and listening to violin music from Doug Bellrichard, concertmaster for the Santa Fe Community Orchestra. Tickets to Fleaview are $75 and also benefit the opera’s renovations.—Ashley M.

Get some exercise, save some money, and reduce pollution by riding a bike to work instead of driving a car. Test ride the idea (literally) during Bike to Work Week (May 11–16), when the City of Santa Fe encourages bike commuting and related events in collaboration with the Outside Bike and Brew Festival (through May 17). To assist with route planning, a city bikeways and trails map is available at santafempo.org. On May 15, in an effort to motivate folks to take two-wheeled transportation to their places of employment, Ecomotive Electric Bikes will serve breakfast burritos on the Plaza from 7:50 am to 8:30 am . Bicycle convoys of city, county, and state employees competing for the largest number of participating riders will converge on the Railyard Plaza at 4:45 pm during the Fiesta Bicicleta, which starts at 2 pm and includes live music on the Watertower Stage. Giveaways, live entertainment, a kids’ challenge course, a piñata bashing, and a drawing to win an Italian bike are among the offerings. The inaugural Santa Fe Bicycling Community Awards, which recognize local cycling advocates and leaders, will also be announced during the Fiesta. —Cristina Olds Bike to Work Week, through May 16, free, times and locations vary, santafempo.org.

To know Michelle Monaghan is to love her. She has sparkling chemistry with Chris Evans in the entertaining meta-romantic comedy Playing It Cool, but that shouldn’t surprise. Monaghan (True Detective, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) has sparkling chemistry with everyone. I would guess that in real life she’s rejected several dozen wedding proposals. What is surprising is how comfortably Evans fills his role as the unnamed narrator. He’s been perfect as Captain America in the Marvel movies and deftly handled darker material in last year’s shocking new classic of science fiction, Snowpiercer. The man is a movie star becoming, before our eyes, a great actor. Playing It Cool, then, brings together an attractive pair we want to watch fall in love. Chemistry is probably the most important element for a romantic comedy, but the film’s cleverness makes it memorable. Evans plays a writer in Los Angeles, with weird writer friends, who meets a mysterious woman (Monaghan) at a charity dinner and falls hard. The timing is serendipitous, as he’s just been hired to write a screenplay for a romantic comedy. Winking works of metafiction can transcend tired genre tropes by embracing them. Recall the horror classic Scream, in which doomed teens recount the rules for surviving a slasher movie, or almost any Quentin Tarantino film. Playing It Cool is similar in that it’s a romantic comedy about romantic comedies. Evans thinks he can’t write this sort of movie because he’s never been in love. His heart is outside his body, following him around in a suit and fedora, chain smoking. We see it, and hear his ridiculous narration, and the movie takes fanciful flights of postmodernism by occasionally placing him into love stories other characters are telling or making Chris Evans and him black-and-white while everything Michelle Monaghan else stays in color. Playing It Cool even star in Playing It Cool. becomes, for one astonishing sequence, a gritty war cartoon. The characters are goofballs, but they’re given enough depth to feel like real people. They’re relatable and easy to like. Playing It Cool is a cool breeze on a warm day and a perfect date movie. —Phil Parker Showing through May 14 at the Jean Cocteau Cinema.

Santa Fe Century
The Santa Fe Run Around 5K, seen here in 2014, begins and ends at the Plaza.
MAX MUJYNYA/SANTA FE STRIDERS
THE SANTA FE RUN AROUND celebrates 37 years this month, and more than 400 people of all ages and speeds are expected to partake in the 5K race, which benefits the Santa Fe chapter of Girls on the Run. The 3.1-mile course starts at the Plaza, heads east up Cathedral Place onto Alameda Street, and continues along Canyon Road. Runners eventually loop around the Cristo Rey Church and head back to the Plaza, enjoying about a 200-foot drop in elevation along the way. “You’ll run in one of the most historic neighborhoods in New Mexico—and the nation,” says Antonio Lopez, who won his age group last year. “Take it one step at a time and enjoy the scenery.” The 5K—the only race to start and finish on the Plaza—is followed by a free kids’ 1K that begins at the Palace of the Governors at 9:30 am. The overall and age group winners of the 5K receive locally made pottery, and every child who participates receives a finisher’s ribbon.

The Santa Fe Century takes cyclists through some of Northern New Mexico’s most breathtaking countryside.
J. J. WROBEL
SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE on May 17, a steady stream of cyclists will set off on the state’s most historic ride, the Santa Fe Century. The event, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, allows bikers to take in some of Northern New Mexico’s most breathtaking countryside—from the mountainous backdrop of the Sandias and Sangre de Cristos to lonely windswept plains. Heading south from Santa Fe, cyclists ride along Hwy 14 through Madrid, eventually reaching the aptly named Heartbreak Hill, site of the route’s most grueling climb. A lengthy flat stretch through stark open country brings riders to Stanley, where the course then heads north, through Galisteo, before reaching its conclusion back in Santa Fe 103 miles later. While the Century has its fair share of challenging segments, the event welcomes cyclists of all levels, which is a large part of its enduring appeal. Riders can go at their own pace, and they can opt for shorter 20- or 50-mile versions of the course. For those intent on testing themselves against the clock (and fellow riders), there are the Gran and Medio Fondos, which are timed, 103- and 50-mile versions of the course, respectively. Throughout the day, volunteers will play a key role in ensuring everything goes smoothly, from fixing flat tires to serving much-needed refreshments along the route.

The Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus
ON MAY 16 AND 17, the Santa Fe Symphony will conclude its 31st season with a performance of Verdi’s Requiem. Guest conductor James Feddeck returns to Santa Fe to lead the orchestra and chorus in this powerful choral work, and four soloists— soprano Alexandra Loutsion, mezzo-soprano Margaret Mezzacappa, tenor Joshua Guerrero, and baritone Lester Lynch—will join the ensemble’s 150 musicians on The Lensic’s stage. Verdi composed his Requiem in 1873 following the death of the great Italian writer Alessandro Manzoni, whom Verdi had long admired and met in 1868. Verdi wrote the piece while he was in Paris, and he incorporated a revised version of the Libera me movement he originally wrote for a requiem for composer Gioachino Rossini that was never performed. The work’s premiere, which Verdi conducted, took place in the San Marco church in Milan in 1874 on the one-year anniversary of Manzoni’s death. The Requiem met with great initial success (it was performed at La Scala three days after its
premiere and then throughout Europe). However, given that Verdi used many of the same styles and techniques he employed when composing his operas, the work had many detractors who believed the dramatic scale of the piece was inappropriate for a religious subject and setting and that Verdi, a suspected agnostic, had no right to compose such a work. Although the piece eventually fell out of favor, it regained popularity in the early 20th century and is today a major component of the standard choral repertoire. The Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus performs Verdi’s Requiem, May 16, 7:30 pm, and May 17, 4 pm, $11–$76, The Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco, ticketssantafe.org

“Our dishes are always French in technique,” says 315 Restaurant and Wine Bar’s executive chef, Louis Moskow, who’s owned the eatery since 1995. The pan-roasted black cod seen here is cooked skin-side down to render fat, and it’s served with the crispy skin intact, since that’s Moskow’s favorite part of the fish to eat. Paired here with asparagus, shimeji mushrooms, sunchokes, radish sprouts, watermelon radishes, and saffron aioli, the dish’s various components (and those of other menu items at 315) are dictated by the availability of seasonal vegetables. “The spring doesn’t offer a bounty of ingredients in New Mexico, so I often look to last year’s harvest,” Moskow says. Roasted sunchokes add a sweetness to the meal, shimeji mushrooms bring an earthiness, and the saffron aioli, which “flatters all types of fish,” lends a soft floral profile. Alaskan halibut has replaced the cod on 315’s spring menu, and Moskow says soft shell crabs will be available in the near future.—Cristina Olds 315 Restaurant and Wine Bar, 315 Old Santa Fe Trl, 315santafe.com

Italian for “bone with a hole,” osso buco is a moist and tender shank of meat that takes time to prepare properly. “It’s a process,” says Executive Chef Andrés Portugues about the pork shank osso buco dish from El-Evation Bistro seen here. “We cook it slow with the bone in [it] to keep the flavor in the meat.” After the pork is marinaded for 24 hours with fresh thyme and rosemary, Chef Portugues braises and sautées the meat with a demi-glace of celery, onions, carrots, tomatoes, and red wine for three hours. Served with colorful fresh tomatoes, cauliflower, and broccoli on a leek and potato mash and garnished with fresh chives, this entrée prominently showcases seasonal local ingredients.—Cristina Olds El-Evation Bistro, 103 E Water

Lorraine Alexander, Sundown Over the Sangre de Cristos, oil on board, 8 x 10"
The works of established Taos-based painter Lorraine Alexander began selling before they even made it onto the walls of their new home at Santa Fe’s Casweck Gallery earlier this year. “We’ve had a great beginning with Lorraine,” says gallery director Norberto Zamudio. “She’s new to us but has become one of our hottest-selling artists.” A plein air painter, Alexander captures the color, light, and layered geometry of the Northern New Mexico landscape through rich, highly textured impasto. Because she paints outside, she makes smaller—more intimate, more affordable—works. Her compositions offer powerful entry, drawing viewers in. She wields a palette knife, not a brush, fixing in thick, buttery paint those moments of enchantment when land, sky, water, and sage glow.—Barbara Tyner Lorraine Alexander, Casweck Galleries, 203 W Water, casweckgalleries.com

NEW MEXICO’S LARGEST STUDIO TOUR, showcasing 89 professional artists in 56 studios, unfolds May 16 and 17 across the scenic mesa of Santa Fe’s Eldorado neighborhood. Before embarking on the tour, visitors can check out the preview gallery inside the Eldorado Community Center, which opens an hour before the studios do. Guests can browse—and familiarize themselves with—the work of each artist participating in the tour and plot their route for visiting the studios, where the artists will be present. Visitors looking to maximize their time should head to studios featuring multiple artists, such as stop number 55, where ceramic figures by longtime studio tour committee member Joretha Hall will be on view alongside wood turning by Taz Bramlette, fine jewelry by William Swinney, photographs by Mary Fredenburgh, and colorful jewelry by Rachel Arvio. Perennial participants such as digital mixed-media artist Ursula Freer and ceramicist Maggie Beyeler are on the roster again, and 20 new artists, including ceramicists Ed Byers and Holden McCurry, have been added to this year’s list. Having recently relocated to Santa Fe from Asheville, North Carolina, Byers and McCurry, who’ve been working as a duo since 2003, see the studio tour as a way to display their work in the place that currently inspires 22

them as well as a chance to meet their neighbors. “As artists, we’re usually creating our work in an isolated environment, so the studio tour gives us the opportunity to meet the public and exchange ideas about our art oneon-one,” says McCurry. Those who visit the duo’s studio will, according to Byers, see their tools, work areas, new ideas in development, and finished pieces displayed as if they were in a collector’s home. “Visitors will also get to see firsthand how my partner and I collaborate on all of our work, which we feel is unique in the art world,” McCurry adds. The tour’s eldest participant is 99-year-old Isabel Mooney, who, despite losing much of her central vision to macular degeneration and having to rely on tactile aids, continues to sew cotton, hand-tied lap quilts. Eldorado Studio Tour, May 16–17, 10 am–5 pm; artists’ reception, May 15, 5–7 pm; preview gallery, May 16–17, 9 am–5 pm, free, Eldorado Community Center, 1 La Hacienda Loop; eldoradoarts.org

The Red That Colored the World a Summer of Color exhibit at the Museum of International Folk Art explores the wide-reaching impact of cochineal by Ashle y M. Big g e r s
NAPOLEON’S CHAIR, A BRITISH military uniform, and Oaxacan wax candles might seem like a random collection of items, but they all feature vibrant hues of cochineal, a dye that’s the subject of the Museum of International Folk Art’s new exhibit The Red That Colored the World. Part of the city’s Summer of Color initiative, which presents color-themed shows at leading museums and galleries, The Red That Colored the World traces the path of the American Cochineal, an insect that produces an acid that’s been used to create dye, from pre-Columbian to modern times. The 130-piece show draws half its artifacts—including manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, and textiles—from the museum’s collection; curators culled the remaining pieces from international sources via a search that began six years ago. Cochineal was once a highly valued commodity (real, rather than synthetic, cochineal still is). At one time, the Aztecs were demanding tithes of it rather than money. The Spanish took it back to Europe and, for a while, controlled the colorant, which made its way into fine art and portraiture, Catholic cardinals’ robes at the Vatican, and French cloaks—one of which is showcased in this exhibit. In the New World, it found its way into bultos and retablos, which were as prevalent in homes as they were in churches. “Cochineal reaches many different parts of society,” says Nicolasa Chavez,
curator of the museum’s Latino/Hispano/ Spanish Colonial collections and a curator of this exhibit. “It permeates everything. As a folk art museum, we’re able to tell the story of how cochineal reflects the daily life of peoples around the world.” Clothing pulled from the Canary Islands to Japan and a beaded gown from Santa Fean Orlando Dugi (Navajo) are also featured in the exhibit. A public opening on May 17 will include colcha embroidery, cochineal painting demonstrations, and book signings for the accompanying catalog A Red Like No Other: How Cochineal Colored the World. The Red That Colored the World, May 17–September 13, 10 am–5 pm; public opening May 17, 1–4 pm; $6–$9, Museum of International Folk Art, 706 Camino Lejo, internationalfolkart.org

Geoffrey Gorman
giving new life to objects and experiences Gorman’s studio is located in an enclosed porch off his house. “It’s a very tiny space with great light,” he says.
When Geoffrey Gorman, who’s known for his sculptures made of found and lost objects, moved to Santa Fe in the late 1970s, he lived in a tepee in Tesuque. “It was a magical experience,” he says. “New Mexico is in my blood now.” New Mexico is in his work, too, which he describes as “somewhat sparse and down to the bone. In a way,” he adds, “I think of [it] as journaling. I try to take a lot of what I run into and turn it into something tangible.” Gorman’s art is also influenced by having grown up in rural Maryland, where, he says, “we were always outside making stuff. This work is a continuation of what I was doing as a kid.”—Whitney Spivey geoffreygorman.com Gorman’s work can be seen locally at Tom Ross Gallery on Canyon Road.
“Sometimes I get pulled in by the medium I’m working with,” Gorman says. “I started working with these slated pieces of wood and thought maybe they could express the wings of a bird.”
STEPHEN LANG
“In my mind, it’s a prize-winning cow, and this is its formal portrait,” Gorman says of this sculpture, in which he elevates an ordinary, perhaps overlooked creature.

SPOTLIGHTS
Although intensely intimate, Lee Price’s self-portraits capture collective experiences. “My paintings are completely personal and so specific to things happening in my life,” she says. “You can look at that as really narcissistic and egocentric, but I find the more personal something is, the more universal.” In the past, Price, who lives in New York City, has depicted herself soaking in a tub, sipping tea, or lying in bed with the remains of a McDonald’s meal scattered around her. Her newest works, which will be on view in a solo exhibition opening in September at Evoke Contemporary, will be more celebratory, though, she hastens to add, still feminist in nature.—Ashley M. Biggers Evoke Contemporary, 550 S Guadalupe, evokecontemporary.com

Susan Burnstine
Los Angeles–based photographer Susan Burnstine created 21 film cameras and lenses out of vintage camera parts, household objects, bits of plastic, and rubber to capture an unpredictable kind of surrealist, dreamy beauty. Chance plays in the soft edges between filmy light and dark, and Burnstine has learned that intuition and instinct guide the perfect timing of her shutter-click. This is a photographer loved by other photographers for her artist-eye and deftness. None of her magic is produced outside the camera. Works such as Lost or Remember evince powerful longing, nostalgia. We yearn to connect to this private world. Other images offer glimpses into reveries, wishfulness, journeys in the making, dream-worlds we recognize and don’t.—Barbara Tyner Lee Price, Verve Gallery of Photography Pink Cupcake, oil on linen, 70 x 30" 219 E Marcy, vervegallery.com May 14, 2015 NOW 25

L. Jones, whose latest show features new pieces. “Beauty is everywhere, and as an artist I interpret that beauty, whether it is found in the grace of a falling leaf, the burnt edges of a flower, a kaleidoscope of cloud formations, a glasstopped lake, or millions of crushed shells along a stretch of beach.”—Emily Van Cleve Jennifer J.

Eating Around Sweetwater Harvest Kitchen

a popular jewelry line showcases a meaningful local symbol
PEOPLE LOVE THE ZIA SYMBOL. In fact, New Mexico’s state flag was just voted “best in the nation” by USA Today and 10Best.com readers. But why fly a flag in just one spot when you can wear your state pride everywhere you go? Silversmith Gregory Segura allows people to do just that. The owner of Santa Fe Silverworks sells an assortment of Zia jewelry, most of which is purchased, somewhat surprisingly, by folks in other parts of the country. “Only about one in 20 is sent to a New Mexico address,” he says. “I’ve sent them all over the world.” Segura’s most popular item is a Zia pendant, but he says his earrings do well, too. The Santa Fe native also crafts Zia rings, bolos, lapel pins, and cuff links, all of which are available online, at his Second Street studio, and at various locations around town, including Ortega’s on the Plaza and the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art. The Zia symbol has roots in Zia Pueblo, whose people consider the sun sacred. Not only is the symbol reminiscent of that ball of fire high in the sky, but its four clusters of four rays are significant because the number four is sacred as well (there are four points on a compass, four seasons of the year, four periods of the day, four seasons of life, four sacred obligations in life, and so on). The circle—or, in Segura’s case, a stone—binds those elements of four together and represents the circle of life.

Don’t wait until National Tequila Day (July 24) to raise a glass at the Iguana Cantina, which offers more than 20 varieties of freshly made margaritas. Instead, head there now to enjoy the café’s new Salsamole Station, where you can combine your preferred amounts of tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, and other ingredients to create customized salsa or guacamole (which will go nicely with your margarita). The station launched on May 4 with a private event, during which guests enjoyed demos and tastings of custom-blend guacamoles and salsa, mixologist-led margarita tastings, and expert instruction on tequila and food pairings.—Whitney Spivey

With Santa Fe being known for its margaritas, it’s no surprise that country music singer Joe Nichols wowed the crowd at Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino with his 2005 hit “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off.” The April 24 show drew many cowboy-boot-wearing fans (who kept their clothes on, as far as we’re aware), including one concertgoer who reported that Nichols “performed the hell out of the music; he’s all about connecting with the audience—raising his arms to get them to sing along and customizing his mid-song banter to comment on how lovely the ladies in New Mexico are, that kind of thing.” We can’t argue with that.—Whitney Spivey
