The last vestiges of summer and even autumn are slipping away as I see the falling leaves and feel the cold air in the morning. For those of us who work on Santa Fean NOW, this symbolizes the end of an incredible high season for Santa Fe, during which the arts, in every form, sizzled for enthusiastic locals and visitors alike. Santa Fean NOW has strived to not just tell you about these wonderful arts events but to also bring them to life with big, beautiful, full-color photographs that show you the excitement surrounding them. And you responded. This issue of NOW is our 25th, which makes this an ideal time to express my gratitude for your kind words and support. I especially want to thank our advertisers, whose support and belief in NOW have allowed us to soar. The magazine’s dedicated staff works very hard to make NOW the best it can be. You can check the masthead to see the whole team, but special thanks go to editor Amy Hegarty, associate publisher B.Y. Cooper, and sales manager David Wilkinson, who lead the team in its efforts. Most important of all, however, is you, the reader. As we move forward with NOW, we appreciate that you’ve turned to us to find out what’s fun and what’s happening each week. Thank you. Because of you, Santa Fe now has a permanent, free, weekly events magazine dedicated to the arts.

The Haunt at Skylight
Halloween has become a lot like New Year’s Eve: You dress up, you look for a party, and you want to be where everyone else will be. Since Halloween falls on a Friday this year, downtown Santa Fe will inevitably be filled with ghouls and ghosts and goblins of all sorts. And the party that’s aiming to take your Halloween experience to another level is The Haunt at Skylight. Teaming up with local Halloween party legends Steve Matlock and Miguel Villalpando, Skylight is transforming its massive space into a haunted mansion complete with menacing entities, taxidermy creatures, and endless signs of horror. Lumenscapes, known for its high-end visual productions, and a number of local artists are creating dynamic lighting and visual effects, and suspension artists are expected to provide hair-raising entertainment as well. But don’t worry—the party isn’t all blood and guts. There will be sexy hip-hop beats by The Alchemy Crew on the main dance floor and techno by Meow Wolf in the newly acquired SkyLab space (formerly Eggman and Walrus Gallery). Festivities begin at 9 pm, and you have to arrive by 11 pm to be eligible for the costume contest. For more information, visit skylightsantafe.com.—Vince Kadlubek The Haunt at Skylight, October 31, 9 pm, $20 at the door, $12 in advance, 139 W San Francisco, 505-982-0775, tickets at skylightsantafe.com
Dave Grusin with his dog, Abiquiú
benefit concert for Assistance Dogs of the West Santa Fe piano man Dave Grusin is set to perform on November 9 with longtime collaborator and guitar great Lee Ritenour for Grusin’s hometown cause, Assistance Dogs of the West, which provides service animals to people with disabilities through its Santa Fe headquarters. Grusin is known for composing film scores, including his Oscar-winning one for The Milagro Beanfield War. He’s also a prolific performer, with more than 12 Grammy wins to his credit, one of which was for an album he made with Ritenour. The guitarist, aka Captain Fingers, has recorded dozens of albums and hits himself, such as the song “Is It You.” During the concert, the jazz masters will draw upon their three decades of teamwork to play selections from their Grammy-nominated albums Two Worlds and Amparo. “It’s really fun to reunite in that way,” says Grusin. “It’s nice to have a little ESP when we’re playing, especially when we’re improvising.” Improvising will be the name of the game during the second half of the concert, when Grusin and Ritenour form a quartet with bassist Tom Kennedy and percussionist Will Kennedy. “We’ve never talked about this, but there’s an undercurrent of ‘If I do this, will these guys like it?’ We usually do this in jazz clubs rather than on a more formal stage,” Grusin notes. The first half of the concert will feature a more structured program that includes performances by a 16-member classical string section and Carol Redman, principal flutist and cofounder of Santa Fe Pro Musica. Attendees have Jill Felice, founder of Assistance Dogs of the West, to thank for this concert, since she asked Grusin to do a benefit for the nonprofit. As a longtime friend of both Felice and the organization—as well as the owner of a dog named Abiquiú, whose littermates became assistance dogs—Grusin says he was glad to answer the call to help the worthy cause.—Ashley M. Biggers Benefit concert for Assistance Dogs of the West, November 9, 7 pm, $25–$100; 25 special tickets available for $250, which includes admittance to a rehearsal, a reception, and the performance; The Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco, lensic.org, ticketssantafe.org, assistancedogsofthewest.org

it’s untold because it stinks
legendary pictures
It’s almost always weak criticism to question logic in a movie like Dracula Untold, in which a man can transform into a colony of bats. Still, this film is an especially egregious case. While watching it, I almost yelled “Stop screwing around!” at the screen. Here’s what happens—and this isn’t a spoiler because smart Santa Feans who read NOW will be skipping this stupid movie: Vlad the Impaler is a fearsome warrior who’s returned from battle to rule his little kingdom, but an army of Turks is coming to take things over. Vlad knows he can’t win a fair fight against the army, so he makes a deal with a monster who lives on Broken Tooth Mountain. The monster gives him awesome superpowers that will last three days. If Vlad drinks anyone’s blood, however, the change becomes permanent, and he’ll definitely kill everyone he loves. Vlad gets super speed and super strength, can change into the abovementioned bats, can control nocturnal animals, and is basically powerful enough to beat up the entire army by himself. He kills a thousand men in five minutes. One hundred thousand, though, are still coming. And here we dive into the stupid. Vlad’s craving blood and there’s a huge army coming. Why, oh why, would he sit around for hours with his wife and son, worrying about what’s gonna happen to them? Three days is not
much time to single-handedly win a war. Go fight, Dracula! The best way to distract a worried mind is to stay busy! Duh. There’s too much fretting and crying. This is a vampire movie made by people who only watch soap operas. It lacks respect. Dracula is a significant cultural icon with more than 100 years of fantastic mythology. (The Fright Night remake from 2011 is shockingly good. And Stephen King’s 1975 novel Salem’s Lot remains the pinnacle.) Dracula Untold has a new kind of vampire: super-powered kinggeneral. He’s a dashing leader of men, and a monster. This could have been an interesting addition to the canon, yet it’s never scary, sexy, or even interesting. It’s a superhero-movie wannabe, and a trash one. —Phil Parker

Country Hammer
Cahalen Morrison is a rising star in the world of country music. His recent work with musician Eli West, most notably their 2012 self-released album Our Lady of the Tall Trees, proved Morrison’s credibility within bluegrass and subtle roots communities. His narrative storytelling painted the contemporary hillbilly in a preserved scenery of austere and vast landscapes, untouched by the world of the pop-country lifestyle. But as it goes, the creative spirit loves exploration. Morrison’s latest project, performing with his full band, Country Hammer, is a complete 180. The band’s sound draws from the foundations built by the likes of Hank Williams and even Dwight Yoakam and fearlessly enters the world of alt-country twang. “Country music is a language I’m very comfortable with,” Morrison says, “and I love speaking the various forms of dialect that come with it.” Touring in support of their debut album, The Flower of Muscle Shoals, Country Hammer performs at Cowgirl BBQ in Santa Fe on Thursday, November 6, with Morrison promising a good time for everyone who attends. “Country Hammer is all about dancing— there’s no doubt about it. And I love [that] because dancing is what music is meant for!” In a lot of ways, Country Hammer’s Cowgirl performance is a homecoming for Morrison, who grew up in the high deserts of Northern New Mexico. “I can’t wait to play Santa Fe,” he says. “I love coming home and seeing all my friends and family and seeing how the town has grown.” 14
santafeanNOW.com
Morrison left his hometown and set out to explore, initially, the sounds of “rock ‘n’ whatever,” as he puts it. While living in the Pacific Northwest, however, he surprisingly found himself in a hotbed of bluegrass and country roots music. He still resides in Seattle with his wife, who inspired the name of his latest album. (She hails from Muscle Shoals, Alabama.) Country Hammer’s show begins at 8 pm, and there’s no cover. Stop by to enjoy a drink and some BBQ and to cheer on a local boy as he continues his journey through the various expressions of country music.

White Spider
by Ash le y M. Big ge rs
Anne Staveley
a spirit-centered jewelry collection from Michele Renae Since ancient times, women have displayed their material wealth on their bodies in the form of jewelry. Today there are artists like silversmith Michele Renae, who solders jewelry that represents both material and spiritual wealth, as seen in her striking White Spider Collection. For 12 years, Santa Fe–based Renae has been creating bohemian silver rings, bracelets, and pendants, many of which bear inscriptions. “I’m very much into prayer and positive word,” she says. “I incorporate [those things] into pieces, whether [they’re] hidden behind the band of a ring or put forth [on the outside]. Words have an amazing vibration, especially ancient words and mantras that have been used and chanted throughout history.” While making her pieces in her studio, Renae often says a mantra that speaks to her. As she twists malas of rose quartz and rudraksha seed beads (malas are strings of 108 beads used in meditation), she whispers “Om Namah Shivaya,” which can be roughly translated as “Salutations to that which I am capable of becoming.” She impresses into the silver not only letters that spell out a saying but also her good intentions and her connection to the creative divine. Many of the mantras she says and stamps into her jewelry are related to yoga practices, but to Renae they’re the words of ancient seers and sages floating through the ether and through her. Recently, Renae began drawing creative inspiration from ancient symbols of Native American tribes, which in turn has given her jewelry a Southwestern look. Her necklaces incorporate turquoise, red carnelian, and stamped sterling
silver pendants, and her leather cuffs feature concho shields. “I’ve always wanted to make a more ancient style,” Renae says. “Ancient tribal people lived in harmony with this earth. I love that harmony and want people to connect with it.” The power of Renae’s jewelry can be experienced both internally and externally. “I love helping a woman feel beautiful and feel good about herself, and to share that beauty into the world,” she says.

Tinariwen the Grammy-winning band performs their latest mesmerizing tunes at Skylight There is no administration, no banks, no food, no gas. Joshua Tree is in the high desert of California. We love all the desert. These are places where we feel good to live and to create.” Tinariwen’s members are Touareg tribesmen whose ancestors have roamed and inhabited the vast Sahara Desert for thousands of years. And while the band honors their heritage through their music and their name (Tinariwen means “deserts”), their sound is quite modern and leans heavily on gritty guitar work and atmospheric textures. Their latest work features collaborations with well-known spoken word artist Saul Williams, singer and guitarist Matt Sweeney of the band Chavez, and Nashville fiddler Fats Kaplin. For more information on the band and their music, visit tinariwen.com.
LOOKING FOR A RARE kind of musical treat in Santa Fe this week? The Grammy Award–winning band Tinariwen, which hails from northern Mali, brings their unique guitar sound (often described as electrifying and hypnotic) to Skylight on Monday, November 3, in support of their album Emmaar, which debuted in February. Because of the political instability of their native country, Tinariwen recorded Emmaar in Joshua Tree National Park, where they constructed a single-room studio in a local house in the hope of capturing an organic and natural sound. On October 7, the band released an EP called Inside/ Outside: Joshua Tree Acoustic Sessions, which features five songs recorded in Joshua Tree during the making of Emmaar. “This is the first time we [recorded] out of Africa, [so] it [had] to be in a desert,” bassist Eyadou Ag Leche has said. “We would like to live in peace in the north of Mali, but this is very difficult. 16

King Lear
the Globe Theatre brings its acclaimed production to Santa Fe
TOP and bottom: Ellie Kurttz. center: Helena Miscioscia.
by Eric Gu st af s on
On October 30, Performance Santa Fe presents the Globe Theatre’s updated production of Shakespeare’s King Lear, marking the famous London-based troupe’s only appearance in the Southwest as part of its international tour. Joseph Marcell, who’s appeared in Globe productions of Coriolanus and Much Ado About Nothing, plays the downwardly mobile king, who descends into madness after dividing his kingdom between his two toxic daughters, Goneril (Gwendolen Chatfield) and Regan (Shanaya Rafaat). Lear’s third daughter, Cordelia (Bethan Cullinane), is beloved by audiences for her honesty and integrity as she struggles unsuccessfully to aid her pitiful father. Shakespeare’s play is based on a story in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s ca. 1136 Historia Regum Britanniae (The History of the Kings of Britain), which tells of a king named Leir who’s thought to have lived in the eighth century BC. Shakespeare also seems to have drawn inspiration from Montaigne’s essay “Of the Affection of Fathers to Their Children” and the play The True Chronicle History of King Leir, and his three daughters, Gonorill, Ragan, and Cordella (anon.), which premiered at London’s Rose theater in 1594. Though the first recorded performance of Shakespeare’s play was for King James I at Whitehall Palace in 1606, King Lear may have been performed at the Globe Theatre not long before that. In what’s generally considered his darkest tragedy, Shakespeare explores the perils of retirement and offers a meditation on old age. His themes of homelessness and vagrancy reflect social issues that were prevalent in Elizabethan England, yet they, along with arguably all of Shakespeare’s concerns, endure as timeless challenges for society.
Joseph Marcell stars in the Globe Theatre’s production of King Lear.

Georges Mazilu has a signature style that links contemporary surrealism with the art of the northern Renaissance. Through an abstract world of fantasy filled with a distinct cast of characters, Mazilu’s paintings portray mysterious figures seemingly caught in deep contemplation or frozen in the midst of enigmatic rituals. His work is part of museum collections in San Francisco, Denver, and Tucson.—Emily Van Cleve

Ghost Dance: Spirits & Angels h aun tingly e vo cat ive image s fr om p hoto g ra p h e r Angel Wy n n Halloween and the traditional Mexican holiday Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) are believed to be times when the veil between the living and spirit worlds are thin. For photographer Angel Wynn, those worlds exist alongside each other in the haunting images of Ghost Dance: Spirits & Angels, an exhibition that opens October 31. An accidental lens flare on an image inspired Wynn, a former filmmaker and prolific stock photographer of Native American portraits, to create a series depicting ghost-like figures in historic destinations. She captured wispy images of models in period dress at City Different locales such as San Miguel Mission, the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, and La Posada de Santa Fe. Although some might assume that Wynn layered in the spirit figures during the post-production process, the artist says that wasn’t the case. “Because of the digital tools we have, we forget what we can do in the camera,” she notes. “Most of the fun was being in the field and making the illusions right there with my model, rather than being at a computer doing the project. However, I would never have attempted to do this shooting film; it was challenging enough using a digital camera and having the instant display.” Wynn chose the locations based on their historical, not necessarily paranormal, significance. But she couldn’t resist paying homage to at least one of the city’s celebrity specters: Julia Staab, who passed away in 1896 and is said to haunt La Posada. Wynn also created an image of La Llorona, aka The Weeping Woman, who’s at the center of one of New Mexico’s most famous ghost tales. Although the images are evocative, they aren’t meant to be 22

Courage and Compassion: Native Women Sculpting Women
MORNING PRAYER BY ROBERT I MESA. SISTERS COURTESY OF BLUE RAIN. Courage Courtesy of MIAC.
a n e w s how op e n s at t he Mu s e um of Indi a n Ar t s & Cultur e by Dor ot h y E . Noe On November 2, an outdoor exhibition called Courage and Compassion: Native Women Sculpting Women, which features sculptures of women by seven female Native artists, opens at the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture (MIAC). The works are arranged clockwise around MIAC’s Roland Sculpture Garden and depict the various phases of women’s lives. Self-taught artist Kathy Whitman-Elk Woman (Mandan/Hidatsa/Arikara) works with metal, recycled materials, and stone. Her sixfoot-tall sculpture of a shawl Retha Walden dancer, Dancing with the HeartGambaro, beat of my Ancestors, captures an Courage, bronze, 59 x 32 x 32" unbridled feeling of joy, while Standing Strong, with my Feet Rooted to Mother Earth depicts the strength and resilience of Native women. Roxanne Swentzell (Santa Clara Pueblo) comes from a long line of formidable women, yet she notes that she struggled as a single mother to recapture the artistic voice she cultivated as a teenager. Her daughter, artist Rose B. Simpson, says that she feels blessed to continue the “next chapter of ‘who we are’” because of “those who came before” her. For this show the artists collaborated on a piece called Grace Adorned, which is loosely inspired by Our Lady of Guadalupe. Swentzell made the ceramic sculpture and Simpson dressed and decorated it. Swentzell also displays a clay sculpture called Child, which depicts a mother presenting her child to the rising sun during a naming ceremony. Estella Loretto (Jemez Pueblo) was encouraged by Allan Houser to create her well-known monumental sculptures. Her seven-anda-half-foot Morning Prayer embodies the quiet strength of a pueblo woman who’s facing east and holding a bowl during a corn meal blessing. While Loretto’s sculptures reflect her feeling that life is an unfolding process that needs the patience of a mother, her art allows her to have a “huge” voice, she says. Tammy Garcia (Taos Pueblo), known for her clay pots, shows two bronze works in the show. Andrea, a seven-foot-tall sculpture

of a butterfly dancer, reflects the joy, freedom, and importance of movement. (Puebloan tradition says that butterflies symbolize fertility and carry prayers for rain.) Sisters is a tribute to the close bonds shared between Native women, who are known to refer to their female Tammy Garcia, relatives and friends as “sister.” The piece Sisters, bronze, was also inspired by Garcia’s memories 74 x 17 x 17" of the closeness between her female relatives as they cooked and practiced dances in preparation for feast days. Kim Seyesnem Obrzut (Hopi) wanted to carve wood like her grandfather did, but that was considered a male occupation. While studying at Northern Arizona University, she accidentally enrolled in a bronze casting class and has never looked back. The featureless face of the woman in her sculpture Greeting the Sun depicts an ancient tradition of facing east and addressing the sun to express gratitude and request lifelong guidance. The resonating works of the late Retha Walden Gambaro (Creek) are also included in the show. Courage depicts what Gambaro described as “facing life” and “calling forth strength of mind and body,” while Acceptance, a self-portrait the artist created at age 80, expresses Gambaro’s feelings of peace as she settled into the final years of her life.

La Boca’s Ensalada Betabeles, with seasonable golden and red beets, goat cheese, watercress, frisée, and a sherry shallot vinaigrette, is typical Spanish fare and perfect for the cooler fall weather. “Beets are really nice roasted root vegetables that have a sweetness to them,” says executive chef José Rodriguez. “With the creamy goat cheese, the crunch of the frisée, and the spicy watercress, it’s a perfect combination.” The salad’s dressing blends green onions, olive oil, brown sugar, and pumpkin seed oil to help create “the most popular salad” La Boca has on its menu, Rodriguez notes. Some Spanish-speaking countries call beets remolachas, Rodriguez explains, and in Spain usage depends on which part of the country you’re in. (People in central Spain and Madrid in particular call the well-loved beets betabeles.) Most of the vegetables in La Boca’s modern Spanish cuisine, including the golden and red beets, are locally grown, Rodriguez says. He also notes that La Boca’s celebrated chef and owner, James Campbell Caruso, who heads La Boca’s sister restaurant, Taberna, and Albuquerque’s MÁS as well, has taught him a lot about Spanish cuisine during the seven years they’ve worked together.—Cristina Olds La Boca, 72 W Marcy, labocasf.com

The detail pictured here captures the curling filament fibers that decorate its leaves, but this yucca also produces gorgeous flowers in the summer—fragrant, white, bell-shaped blooms that leave behind seedpods for next season’s landscaping.

Stone Forest t he lo cal de signe r of ha nd-ca r ve d ston e p iece s for t he home a nd ga rde n cele b rate s its 25t h a nni ve rsa r y by Cristina Olds
A true passion for stone is at the heart of Santa Fe–based Stone Forest’s success, and this year the company, popular for its hand-carved garden fountains and kitchen and bath items, celebrates its 25th anniversary. Founder Michael Zimber was guiding rafting trips and leading climbing adventures when his mother suggested he explore doing something else. “I thought, ‘If I can bottle what I love [about] the outdoors and bring it into people’s homes and gardens, maybe something will happen,” he notes. And he was absolutely right. Following a Japanese aesthetic and, Zimber says, “keeping [things] simple and letting the stone speak louder than the design,” Stone Forest’s designers and craftspeople create award-winning products that are found in 900 showrooms around the world and have earned the company a spot as a leader in its niche industry. Zimber travels to far-flung destinations seeking the perfect material for his products, whether it’s Inner Mongolia for basalt, Turkey for travertine, or Israel for Jerusalem gold limestone. “Our pieces are going to be around for awhile, so we better start with quality stone to make them last,” he says. Stone Forest also makes pieces in hardwoods and various metals, and Zimber is proud that his company conceptualized the first sink made of bamboo. Some new products perfectly demonstrate Stone Forest’s skills for combining and contrasting textures, such as a cast-iron shop-table pedestal sink topped with steel or stone vessels. “We make architectural statements,” Zimber says, “and part of our shtick is to keep coming out with at least six new designs every year.” Stone Forest, 213 S St. Francis, stoneforest.com 28

Of Montreal at Skylight
Gabriella Marks
Costumes, wigs, and props enhanced the funky, psychedelic stage performance by Of Montreal at Skylight on October 19. Bizarre and sexy showmanship that channeled ‘70s wild-child performers like David Bowie and The Rolling Stones was welcomed by the raucous Santa Fe crowd. Front man Kevin Barnes has performed semi-nude in the past, although Skylight’s audience experienced him clothed and occasionally wigged. With a sophisticated light-and-video show as well as various (planned) stage crashers, the performance had something to keep everyone engaged. “The psuedo wrestling by dark circus characters that romped on stage for many songs created a real carnival spectacle that was fun to watch,” noted one audience member.—Cristina Olds
