The city is coming alive. Not only have our trees become bright and leafy from our spring rains (and snow), but the art and music scenes have reemerged as well. Several galleries all over town are having openings this weekend. There’s the Superhero Masquerade at form & function, which is celebrating its first anniversary. In conjunction with the Native Treasures Indian Arts Festival over Memorial Day weekend, True West is presenting Navajo jeweler Fritz Casuse. Blue Rain is showing new paintings by Seattle-based painter Z. Z. Wei in A Dialogue with Color. The New Mexico Museum of Art is opening the exhibition Lines of Thought: Drawing from Michelangelo to Now, which is on loan from the British Museum. This event is free! Music lovers have lots to choose from as well, including country rock at La Fonda, piano and crooning at Vanessie, rock at the Cowgirl, and funky blues reggae at the Palace, which has quickly turned into one of Santa Fe’s late-night hot spots. In any event, as you will see in these pages, there’s lots of fun all over town this weekend. Make the most of it.
Native Treasures Indian Arts Festival e v ent Over Memorial Day weekend, the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture (MIAC) hosts the annual Native Treasures Indian Arts Festival. Touted as Santa Fe’s only museumquality Indian art show and sale, it is a must-attend event. The 2017 show theme is Shared Stories—the variety of jewelry, pottery, weavings, basketry, beadwork, and sculpture all speak to the individuality of each tribe’s stories while also revealing the themes that recur throughout Native culture. Native Treasures Indian Arts Festival is proud to represent more than 40 tribes and pueblos from across North America. The 2017 Museum of Indian Arts and Culture’s Living Treasure, eighth-generation potter Jody Naranjo (Santa Clara Pueblo), will be honored with a special exhibition, Revealing Joy: Jody Naranjo at MIAC. The honoring ceremony for Naranjo will be held during the pre-show celebration on Friday, May 26, from 5:30–7:30 pm. This award recognizes artistic excellence and community service and honors the artist’s body of work to date, as well as their exciting future endeavors.—Amanda Jackson

The Austin-based band Progger brings jazz fusion to GiG on Sunday night.
the GiG Inadvertent Festival Bruce Dunlap, founder of the nonprofit GiG Performance Space, describes his late-May lineup as “. . . a festival that just sort of booked itself while I wasn’t looking.” When he found that several favorites were coming through the area that weekend, Dunlap decided to give in to fate, and the Inadvertent Festival took shape. Singer/songwriter Cindy Kallet starts things off on May 25, and is followed by Sweetwater String Band, Leni Stern African Trio, and Progger on successive nights. GiG takes a short break on Monday, then re-opens Tuesday, May 30, as Atlanta group Little Tybee returns to Santa Fe. Each concert begins at 7:30 pm, and the $20 tickets are available at the door half an hour before showtime.—Lisa Van Sickle p er forman c e

superhero masquerade form & concept opened a year ago in the Railyard district, with the goal of breaking down the boundaries between art, craft, and design. By presenting recycled jewelry and hand-knit superhero costumes; hosting a presentation by Judy Chicago; and featuring comic book art by Native youth during their inaugural year, they certainly have crossed traditional lines. To celebrate this auspicious anniversary, form & concept is asking Santa Feans to come to the anniversary party dressed in superhero getup. Visitors who arrive costumed can vie for prizes in a costume contest, and only those in costume will gain access to the VIP cereal bar. The event also includes DJ Ginger Dunnill and food trucks.—LVS e vent

Fidelia Kirk
douglas merriam
Fidelia (Fiddle) Kirk, owner of Asian Adobe, and her husband, Stuart, moved to Santa Fe in 1992, with plans to stay. Within a month of their arrival, Stuart was offered a job in China, and Beijing became his home for the next 10 years. Fiddle joined him for a year and a half, but found China difficult. “It was still donkeys on the roads with carts, and lots and lots of bicycles.” She returned to Santa Fe, and then lived for a couple of years in Singapore, which facilitated visits with her husband. By the time Stuart’s Chinese contract was finished, Fiddle had amassed a collection of treasures and a great business idea: a store called Asian Adobe, selling antiques, needlework, art, jewelry, and gifts—mainly Chinese. She opened in 2003 in the Railyard, and moved to Johnson Street in 2008. The furniture is almost all 19th century; pieces more than 200 years old couldn’t legally leave the country, and everything less than 100 years old was subject to duty. Kirk went to China two or three times a year, filling shipping containers bound for Santa Fe. Her last trip was five years ago. Fewer antiques were available for export, US customs requirements changed, and more shipments arrived damaged. The store remains well stocked, though, as a separate warehouse is full. As Kirk’s reputation has grown, she has been offered “amazing consignments” from American collectors of Chinese antiques. Jewelry, cashmere, and other smaller goods still arrive regularly from China. Asian Adobe is the sole US representative for paintings by Guo Ming Fu, a renowned Beijing watercolorist (and now good friend). Kirk stays involved here, giving her time and talents to the Museum of International Folk Art, Buckaroo Ball, and the Santa Fe Garden Club. She has belonged to book clubs “forever,” recently reading Anne Tyler’s A Spool of Blue Thread with her current group. She also reads books on China. “When I lived there, I didn’t appreciate it,” she says, but her appreciation has since grown.—Lisa Van Sickle

Owner Lisa Rodgers kicks off the summer season with a reception for her entire stable of artists. The gallery represents oil painters, watercolorists, sculptors of bronze and glass, and even a man who makes kaleidoscopes. Most is in the style of metaphorical realism, and includes works by Vladimir Kush, Michael Parkes, and Rahileh Rokhsari. The reception features an open wine bar, live music, and hors d’oeuvres, providing a late spring evening devoted to meeting the gallery’s artists.—Lisa Van Sickle

Rebecca Haines—Animystic Pippin Contemporary 409 Canyon pippincontemporary.com Through June 6 Reception May 26, 5–7 pm Rebecca Haines juggled a career as a gallery manager with creating her own paintings for years. When she joined Pippin Contemporary in January of 2016, she was able to devote herself to painting full time, and the change shows in her newest work. She has always been a painter of animals, and always worked with symbolism and mysticism; her creatures are becoming more abstract and her overall style more minimal as she has the freedom of time to experiment. In times when the world seems to be careening out of control, Haines finds peace in her animal subjects. “When people lose their balance or feel unsettled, they often take solace in nature. For me, it’s animals in particular . . . there’s something very primal . . . that can ground me despite all the human absurdity.”—LVS

Getting Lost in Color Barbara Meikle Fine Art 236 Delgado meiklefineart.com May 26–June 22 Reception May 26, 5–7 pm Each year, Barbara Meikle schedules her solo show for the same weekend as her gallery’s anniversary—this year marks her 11th. Hosting a reception and anniversary celebration Friday evening, Barbara will fill the gallery with her colorful oil paintings and her bronze sculptures. Meikle is a generous supporter of local animal rescue groups, especially those that benefit equines, and her show is sure to include animal images, including donkeys, raptors, and even an occasional elephant. The native New Mexican also portrays the local landscape and architecture.—LVS
Suchitra Bhosle, Above: Suchitra Bhosle, Tonal Singular Elegance, A One-Woman Show oil on board, 24 x 18" Meyer Gallery 225 Canyon meyergalleries.com May 26–June 1 Reception May 26, 5–7 pm Born into a family of artists in Bangalore, India, Bhosle revealed her talents early. Representing India at the age of just 9, she won a UNESCO art competition. After college, graduate school, and a brief corporate career in India, Bhosle moved to the United States in 2001 and went back to her first love: painting. Her soft, yet vibrant colors and Impressionist leanings are well suited to her choice of subject matter—mainly portraits of women. Often contemplative, her subjects exude femininity and a bit of romance. Bhosle also turns her attention to the occasional still life, streetscape, or interior.—LVS
Bringing Fossils to Life Eye on the Mountain Gallery 614 Agua Fria eyeonthemountaingallery.com Through May 27 Closing reception, May 27, 5–9 pm Los Angeles–based artist PAZ takes inspiration from ammolite, an opalescent gem mined along the eastern slopes of the North American Rocky Mountains. Ammolites are the fossilized remains of ammonites, an extinct shellfish with a spiral shape, deposited when the region was still an inland sea. PAZ works in many media. For this show, he has hand carved wood into shapes inspired by ammolites, sometimes superimposing human faces or figures on the Cretaceous-era forms, reaching back to forge a connection through time. He uses iridescent acrylic paints over the carvings to replicate the bright colors and intriguing patterns of the original gems.—LVS Left: PAZ, Ammolite Series #4, carved wood and acrylic paint, 30 x 20 x 3"
