PUBLISHER’S NOTE

|

WE ARE KNOWN AS “THE CITY DIFFERENT” for a very good reason. Take the new exhibit at the New Mexico Museum of Art, Con Cariño: Artists Inspired by Lowriders. The lowrider concept was picked up in its infancy here in Northern New Mexico, so this exhibit speaks to us at several levels, and it incorporates the culture and the history that abounds here. The artists involved include some of Santa Fe’s most noteworthy—it will be very interesting see how they translate their artistic styles when applying them to cars. And as a “car guy,” I’ll take special interest in how these vehicles have been brought back to life as pieces of art. (Of course, some of us think that all cars from the past are already works of art.)

Things are happening in Santa Fe. It feels as if the season for activity is here, and our calendar is filled with an array of enjoyable opportunities. The clubs in town are offering a variety of music and lots of special exhibitions are happening around town.

Truly, this is one of the nicest times of the year, so enjoy it all.

Michelle Obama to deliver commencement address at the Santa Fe Indian School May 26 is a big day for Santa Fe Indian School (SFIS) seniors.

Not only are they wrapping up their high school careers, but their commencement address is being delivered by the highest level of U.S. Government official ever to visit the school, First Lady Michelle Obama.

The trip was planned as part of the Generation Indigenous program, unveiled at the 2014 White House Tribal Nations Conference by President Obama, and created, as he put it, “to cultivate the next generation of Native leaders” by removing “the barriers that stand between young people and opportunity.” The First Lady echoed his sentiments. “These kids have so much promise,” she said in April 2015, “and we need to ensure that they have every tool, every opportunity they need to fulfill that promise.”

Mrs. Obama’s visit in many ways reflects the SFIS’s ever-evolving relationship with the federal government, which began in 1890 when it founded the institution with the primary goal of assimilating Native Americans into the American culture and economy. In those early days, children as young as four or five were taken from their homes and forcibly enrolled. By the 1930s, students started to attend the school on the basis of choice, and the educational focus shifted to encompass Native culture— history, geography, traditional arts, and stories. The first senior class graduated in 1934, and by the 1940s, attending the school had become a cherished multigenerational custom.

Today the SFIS boasts an average graduation rate of 98 percent, and more than 90 percent of this year’s seniors plan to attend college.

WHITEHOUSE.GOV

Over time, SFIS gained increasing tribal control of the school, and in 2001 the land was placed in a trust for the 19 Pueblo Governors of New Mexico. SFIS, owned by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, now enjoys educational sovereignty. Today the SFIS boasts an average graduation rate of 98 percent, and more than 90 percent of this year’s seniors plan to attend college.

In addition to following national and state graduation requirements, says principal Felisa Gulibert, “we also have our own courses [and] require our kids to do a Senior Honors Project [SHP]—not just for students to demonstrate acquisition of skills, but also honoring one of our core values of giving back.” According to SHP instructor Tony Dorame (who also teaches agri-science), the program is a means of “bringing culture and academics together. We don’t teach the students their culture,” he says. “The communities do that. We teach through the culture to make lessons relevant and meaningful to students’ lives.”

Case in point: graduating senior Shayna Naranjo, whose SHP project, titled “Tribally Controlled Grant Schools Reclaiming Pueblo Education,” concerns the elementary school in her own Pueblo, Santa Clara. It has, she says, “been converting from BIE [Bureau of Indian Education] to pueblo control. It’s a place that I feel is important to the community,” she continues. “If we teach [children] from a young age who we are, they retain so much more.”

Projects like Naranjo’s happen to dovetail with the focus of Generation Indigenous, which addresses issues like education, housing, health, and juvenile justice. But the implications of the initiative also run deeper. “With Gen I, a lot of Native Americans across the U.S. were impressed with [Mrs. Obama’s] agenda, because she was the first First Lady to acknowledge the government’s wrongdoings,” says social studies and Native American history teacher Christie Abeyta, adding that the impending visit is “such an honor.”

Dorame agrees, calling it “a real acknowledgement from the federal government that our needs are important.” So does Naranjo.

For her, it “emphasizes that Native Americans are still here and our issues need to be addressed, no matter who is President.”

The commencement is a closed event. “Our venue is small, and we’d like to make it intimate,” Gulibert says. “It has to be focused on the students.”—Eve Tolpa May 19, 2016 NOW 1

Frank Balaam, The Far Bank, oil on canvas, 60 x 60"

Two European-born painting masters, Frank Balaam and Angus, exhibit their newest works, which feature saturated palettes in dynamic, unique styles. English painter Frank Balaam (now living in Arizona) depicts American landscapes with a honed impasto technique that adds literal depth to the canvases and emphasizes light and shadow; Angus, a native of Scotland, renders his vivid still life compositions with modified angles and refraction lines in a style that is authentically his own.—Stephanie Love

Jennifer J. L. Jones HYPNOTIC Starlings

by Stepha nie Love

Radiance Winterowd Fine Art 701 Canyon, through May 26 Featuring the works of Susan Pasquarelli and Karen Bexfield, this two-artist 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

The abstract expressionist paintings of Jennifer J. L. Jones render nature in deeply pigmented, luminous compositions with an open, carefree spirit. The newest selection of these stunning artworks will be on display at Hunter Kirkland Contemporary between May 20 and June 5. “Painting is for me, an intuitive process,” says Jones, “each studio session becoming a form of meditation.” Her latest works reflect this spontaneity with numerous layers of materials—such as acrylic, tar, oil paint, and varnish—applied in a painterly, expressive manner. Although these dynamic coats are incorporated impulsively, Jones works toward a final image that evokes both beauty and order with saturated color and light. She says the culmination of layers symbolizes “change, time, and growth. These layered glazes of color and mixed media create mood, atmosphere, and a vibration of energy unique to each viewer interacting with the final piece.”

PROFILE

Karl Skaret, Dogs Don’t Eat Dogs, acrylic on canvas, 14 x 18"

Life Lines Ellsworth Gallery 215 E Palace ellsworthgallery.com Through May 29 Daily life forms a common ground in the works of these three talented artists. Maxwell Bennett, a native of Northern New Mexico, depicts gestural movements of human figures by combining found alabaster with steel sculpture. London-based painter Enzo Marra renders visual analysis of the art world. His imagery focuses on the entire process, from the studio, to galleries, to art auctions, to collectors’ homes. The works of Karl Skaret pay homage to numerous years of ranching and his Canadian ranch upbringing; he abstracts organic beauty to create his own perspective of nature through indistinct landscapes.—SL

This Enchanted Landscape: New Paintings

by Stephen Day and Peggy Immel Sorrel Sky Gallery, 125 W Palace sorrelsky.com Through May 31 Two New Mexican plein air artists are highlighted in this captivating landscape show at Sorrel Sky Gallery. These virtuoso painters—Stephen Day, known for his stunning sunsets, and Peggy Immel, Master Signature Member of the Plein Air Painters of New Mexico—prefer working outdoors to better capture the ever-changing light of the Southwest. Sorrel Sky Gallery owner Shanan Campbell Wells says, “Peggy and Stephen are masters at creating paintings that capture the quintessential Southwestern landscape with all its unique ambience and distinct character.”—SL

For its fourth public exhibition, Strangers Collective presents works by 32 emerging local artists and writers in downtown’s Community Gallery. Focusing on alternative art projects, Strangers Collective supports our community’s innovative young creators.

“Santa Fe is waking up to the fact that young artists are ushering in a radical new era of contemporary art here,” says Strangers Collective co-founder Jordan Eddy. “We’re carving out space in this scene, and there’s no going back.”

Named in celebration of the small apartments and studio spaces where these artists and writers work, Narrows features works that cover a variety of media and styles. “It’s such a diverse group,” says co-founder Kyle Farrell. “We have artists who grew up here, and people who came from all across the country. One thing that unites us is the battle to be heard. We’re moving from private spaces onto much larger stages, and it’s invigorating.”

In collaboration with this unique showing, there will be a zine workshop on Saturday, May 28, and artist talks with Elaine Ritchel of Santa Fe Art Tours on Wednesday, June 1. After successful shows at ART.i.factory Gallery and Wheelhouse Art, Strangers Collective is enthusiastically preparing for equally inspiring events at Caldera and David Richard Gallery in 2016.
