SANTA FE

From the time of the ancient Anazasi, 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.

We’re lucky. Friends love to visit us here in Santa Fe and enjoy our amazing community and incredibly beautiful setting.

This weekend I have friends coming into town and have just 30 hours to show them our city. My preference is to show them experiences, because that’s something Santa Fe does so well.

This week’s Friday night gallery openings are excellent, so taking in a number of them is a great way to start our weekend. And with the variety of art being featured, finding pieces my guests can connect with shouldn’t be difficult. As tourists, they’ll want good, authentic Northern New Mexico cuisine, but almost as important is a restaurant environment that says Santa Fe. No problem; we’ve got that! The weekend’s music scene also has a lot going on, including salsa at The Lodge.

To me, our wonderful mountains are a key part of the Santa Fe experience, especially this time of year. A trip up the chairlift at the local ski area provides an altitude-friendly experience that will allow those not used to our elevation to enjoy the full splendor of the Sangres without any major discomfort.

A late summer afternoon stroll through the Plaza is a must. Right now, Santa Fe’s seasonal light is shimmering, and the sunsets are becoming more spectacular. Lastly, a short walk up to the Cross of the Martyrs provides a meditative and final scenic overview of our city.

The best thing about out-of-towners visiting is that it encourages us to see our city through their eyes, rekindling our appreciation of this place we call home. We are indeed very lucky to be here.

Reaching for the Stars

KERRI COTTLE

Flamenco dancers Juan Siddi and Mina Fajardo perform at last year’s fundraiser.

Art by local artists will be part of the fundraiser’s silent auction offerings.

Having spent three decades directing and motivating workers to excel in the business world while serving as a leader in the foodservice industry, Roy Martinez recently turned his attention to guiding high school students toward achieving their professional and academic goals. Through his nonprofit organization Rising Stars in the Southwest, Martinez helps teens with dreams develop leadership skills, set goals, and make positive life choices, all of which can lead to them successfully applying for scholarships, landing key internships, and getting the jobs they most want. Instrumental to each student’s success, Martinez says, is that “they must be able to articulate their dream. Maybe they want to go to Stanford, or maybe they want to be an entrepreneur.”

In celebration of Rising Star’s third anniversary, the organization is holding a Spanish-themed fundraiser at the Governor’s Mansion on September 20 called Reaching for the Stars. In line with the organization’s emphasis on teens “reaching their full potential and actualizing their dreams,” the event, which is open to the public, will feature tapas prepared by culinary students from the Santa Fe Community College and musical entertainment provided by a local 16-yearold guitarist. Other highlights include performances by acclaimed flamenco dancers Juan Siddi and Mina Fajardo and by flamenco guitarist Joaquin Gallegos.

A silent auction will feature works by some of the region’s top artists and items from local retail shops. In an act that emphasizes the importance of Rising Stars’ work, Governor Susana Martinez has proclaimed September 20 to be Hispanic Youth Leadership Day.—Cristina Olds Reaching for the Stars Fundraiser, $50, September 20, 5:30–8:30 pm, New Mexico Governor’s Mansion, risingstarssouthwest.org September 18, 2014 NOW

a profound portrait of American poverty Appachey is 13, overweight, swears, and smokes.

His mom lies in bed, under the covers, smoking and drinking a soda as she runs through Appachey’s diagnoses: “ADHD, bipolar, OCD, ODD, and they’re looking into Asperger’s.” In the documentary Rich Hill, we watch Appachey be vicious to his little sister, get slapped by his mom, and reveal (early one morning, while puffing on a cigarette and staring at his feet) that he was 6 when his dad left. “Just walked out. Didn’t even say goodbye,” he says.

Rich Hill is a look at the lives of three male teenagers in Rich Hill, Missouri (population 1,396).

Appachey, Harley, and Andrew aren’t friends; their stories are separate, and the film gives equal time to each. Harley is a knife nut who spits and yells, and whose mother is in prison. Andrew is a football player, and his mother is constantly stoned on sleeping pills. Andrew’s father can’t make enough money to pay their bills, so the family moves frequently.

The film is a pure documentary, devoid of context or identifiable style. There are American flags everywhere, so it’s certainly saying something about our nation’s kids. But not out loud.

The filmmakers merely follow these children from one day to the next and document their travails. The details they capture—a lamp with no shade, a tired grandmother in a room full of cigarette smoke, a trashed skateboard partly buried in dirty ice—are profound in that they’re simultaneously beautiful and quite a bummer.

These kids are poor. Their lives are difficult. Their families are whooped. School can’t hold Appachey, who beats up other children, or Harley, who complains to the principal every day that he can’t breathe and needs to go home. Harley, we learn late in the film, experienced horrific 6

trauma in the past, an assault terrible enough to devastate his family and leave him angry and deeply affected.

In Andrew, though, we see the most hopeful of the three. He’s the boy who professes love for his family. He’s the boy who doesn’t hurt others or swear or fantasize about killing. He’s the boy with a dad.

Rich Hill is a powerful, creeping mindblower. It’s showing at CCA.—Phil Parker

Santa Fe Renaissance Fair

the popular event takes over El Rancho de las Golondrinas

by Emi ly Va n Cle ve

Twenty-first century trappings are left far behind at the Santa Fe Renaissance Fair, which is being held at El Rancho de las Golondrinas September 20 and 21. Now in its seventh year, the popular event features Spanish styles of combat and cultural activities from the 8th through the 15th centuries, all of which are re-created by local and regional actors, musicians, magicians, and dancers dressed in the eye-catching garb of the times.

Visitors can watch jousting tournaments and sword fights; buy shields, cloaks, jewels, and other items from numerous vendors; indulge in ale, mead, and turkey legs; and bend their knees to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Onstage entertainment includes belly-dancing, flamenco dancing, and performances by Belisama Irish Dance

and the Santa Fe Shakespeare Society, among many other organizations.

Clan Tynker, a Santa Fe–based family of five jugglers, musicians, and magicians who perform worldwide and have appeared at the Santa Fe Renaissance Fair for the past six years, will present three sets daily on the event’s main stage. “We’ll start each set with some magic before we turn to fire eating,” says Santiago Tynker, Clan Tynker’s master of ceremonies and accordion player. “Every show has fire eating in the beginning and fire juggling at the end. I’m the only one in the troupe who doesn’t eat fire. I play the accordion while the other four do it.”

Muller Davis, an eighth grade English teacher at Capshaw Middle School, plans to do some tried and true magic tricks and be as silly as possible during his second appearance at the event.

“What I hope for at the Renaissance Fair is a gaggle of kids ready to laugh their heads off and scream their eyes to tears for the love and joy and hilarity of being alive,” he says.

Proceeds from the event go to The Interfaith Community Shelter, which provides services for people who are homeless, and to funding El Rancho de las Golondrinas’ year-round educational programs.

Santa Fe Renaissance Fair, $10 ($8 for seniors and teens, free for kids under 13), September 20 & 21, 10 am–6 pm, El Rancho de las Golondrinas, 334 Los Pinos Rd, La Cienega, golondrinas.org September 18, 2014 NOW

Santa Fe Pro Musica

the acclaimed chamber orchestra launches its 33rd season with an all-Beethoven program

by Ashle y M. Big g e r s

Da da da dum. Four notes. That’s all it takes for audiences around the world to recognize what’s generally considered the most famous symphony in classical music history: Beethoven’s Fifth. Yet for musicians, familiarity with an iconic work doesn’t always translate into a sense of ease or a certain leeway to become complacent about their performance. In fact, says conductor and music director Thomas O’Connor—who leads Santa Fe Pro Musica in the work on September 20 as part of the opening concert of the chamber orchestra’s 33rd season—it can mean just the opposite.

“You have to invest a lot of thought and care in the preparation of the work so that you bring something special to it,” O’Connor says. “If the performance is going to have integrity, you have to make sure it’s alive, full of energy, and accurately represents what’s there.”

The season opener will also include Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, which O’Connor

describes as being just as grand as Beethoven’s symphonies. “Beethoven’s music is a reflection of what it is to be human. It takes you to places of joy, sorrow, happiness, and contemplation, and the concertos are equally as rich in that understanding,” O’Connor says.

The concerto will feature piano soloist Melissa Marse, a Steinway Artist who’s collaborated with members of the New York Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra, and other ensembles. “When you can work with a soloist who has [Marse’s] experience,” O’Connor says, “the orchestra is not merely accompanying them, [but rather] you’re really partnering with the soloist in a great piece of music with a unified approach.”

Other works in Santa Fe Pro Musica’s 2014–15 season include Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night and Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 in November; “Autumn” and “Winter” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in December; and Schumann’s Violin Concerto in D Minor featuring world-renowned violinist Midori in February and March. For a detailed list of this season’s repertoire and guest artists, visit santafepromusica.com.

Joseph’s of Santa Fe

douglas merriam

According to chef Joseph Wrede, diners are drawn to his new culinary pub, Joseph’s of Santa Fe, for the “not necessarily predictable contemporary Southwestern cuisine.”

Best known for his work at the now closed Joseph’s Table in Taos (which earned him a Best New Chef award from Food & Wine magazine), Wrede will celebrate the one-year anniversary of his latest endeavor next month. His raw vegetable salad pictured here is based on “the idea of serving summer-fresh vegetables in Italy,” and it’s inspired

by Wrede’s desire to create global combinations of ingredients. Building on what’s in season and available locally, this raw salad comprises leaves of butter lettuce, thinly sliced rounds of zucchini and squash, and julienned fennel. Traditionally, Wrede says, this type of salad is best with a black truffle oil vinaigrette. “The zucchini, squash, and lettuce have an earthy base flavor that creates a foil for the bold fennel,” he explains.

“Fennel is closest to a licorice or anise flavor and has a nice deep nose to it, as does the truffle oil.” The sprinkle of juicy pomegranate seeds adds a bright red color to the plate while also giving the dish “a pleasing mouth texture.”— Cristina Olds Joseph’s of Santa Fe, 428 Agua Fria, josephsofsantafe.com

Ysabel LeMay, Cosmic Nursery, C-print, 48 x 63"

Practically the only indicator that Austin-based artist Ysabel LeMay’s work is photographic in nature is the fact that she’s exhibiting at VERVE Gallery of Photography. Her works appear to be detailed paintings of trees, floral arrangements, and birds; in reality, they’re compositions comprising hundreds of photographs arranged in a highly complex, painterly manner. “My art is a tribute to nature. It’s an offering—a moment of contemplation,” says LeMay, whose show, Gracia, will include 11 works. In this series, says the former graphic artist, “I’ve chosen to expose nature’s paradox, which I take pleasure in reinventing.”—Amy Gross Ysabel LeMay, Gracia, through October 25, reception September 19, 5–7 pm, VERVE Gallery of Photography, 219 E Marcy, vervegallery.com September 18, 2014 NOW

Moondance, oil on canvas, 48 x 32" 22

santafeanNOW.com

The words of fellow painter Georgia O’Keeffe above have echoed strongly with Craig Kosak during the course of his recent personal and professional evolution, the fruits of which are on view in his new show Warpaint, opening September 19 at Giacobbe-Fritz Fine Art. Although Kosak was a city dweller, his trips to national parks in the American West, and the resulting animal portraits over color-blocked backgrounds, established his career. In the past year, he made a permanent home, which he calls Ravendell, on secluded Whidbey Island, off the coast of Seattle, Washington, and embarked on a new chapter in his artistic career.

“Warpaint [is a group of] markings that bestow courage, and it was a courageous experiment [for me] to move from the city, to buy a piece of undeveloped forest, and to transform my life in this way,” he says.

In Kosak’s island solitude (he often goes days without seeing another human), the artist has found companionship in his dog, Tucker, and in the local wildlife, who are the subjects of his newest works. “With this new series, [Craig’s] leaving behind some of his favorite creatures of the West, like the bison and wolf,” says Palin Wiltshire, gallery director for Giacobbe-Fritz. “We’re meeting Selene, a great horned owl; Grace, a red-tailed hawk; and a new host of ravens along with deer and rabbits. With [Craig’s] new style, we’re also seeing color blocking in the body of his

creatures,” she adds.

Kosak is also for the first time crafting his own horsehair, calligraphy-style brushes that layer on paint thickly, expose brushwork, and lend a greater texture to the canvas’s surface. “There was a lot of spontaneity in my older work that I was trying to reclaim in this show,” he says. “I sometimes feel like a mad scientist.”

Kosak’s bold moves are paying off already. Wiltshire says that the artist’s fans are thrilled with the new work, and that show sales are already brisk.

a multimedia exhibition showcases photographer Will Wilson’s timely and forward-looking work

courtesy of the wheelwright museum of the american indian

AIR 6, archival pigment print, 44 x 79"

The manifold talent and passion of Diné (or Navajo) photographer Will Wilson is on full display in an exhibition that runs through April 19, 2015, at Santa Fe’s Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian.

Wilson, who was born in San Francisco and raised in Tuba City, Arizona (the largest community in the Navajo Nation), combines digital technology, historic photographic processes, performance, and installation to address the themes that most concern him: environmental activism, the impact of cultural and environmental change on indigenous peoples, and cultural survival and renewal.

At the entrance to the Wheelwright is Wilson’s AIR LAB, a large hogan-shaped greenhouse in which vegetables, culinary herbs, and native and drought-tolerant shrubs grow. Part of a vision that centers on indigenous communities growing healthy food and raising healthy children, AIR LAB fuses Wilson’s grownup concerns with childhood memories of his grandparents’ home. “My grandfather’s cornfields, fruit trees, melons, and squash, along with my grandmother Martha’s large herd of sheep, sustained our extended family for generations,” Wilson has said.

The exhibition also includes 12 photographic portraits from Wilson’s CIPX (Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange) project. In response to the general public’s reception of Edward S. Curtis’s famous early-20th-century images of Native Americans, CIPX expands on the photographer’s work, but from a 21st-century perspective.

“Curtis did a certain amount of manipulation by removing modern

accoutrements from view and asking subjects to wear heirloom clothing,” says Cheri Falkenstien-Doyle, the Wheelwright’s curator. “Also, the photographic chemistry of Curtis’s day renders some skin tones very dark, which white viewers tended to read as exotic. Will’s portraits represent a more equitable relationship with his subjects. People pose with items of personal significance—everything from vintage typewriters to manga paperbacks—and share rights to the image.”

Among the other pieces not to be missed is Wilson’s huge AIR (Auto Immune Response) series, which depicts a post-apocalyptic Navajo man’s journey through a desolate but beautiful landscape symbolic of the exploited Navajo reservation. The futuristic protagonist considers profound questions: What has occurred to transform the landscape? Why has the land become toxic? How will I reconnect with the earth?

Wilson’s message is as manifest as the immense images of the exhibition, leaving the viewer debating whether Wilson is an activist with a camera or an artist on a mission—so evenly apparent are the two energies. As Falkenstien-Doyle says: “I’m drawn to the beauty and poignancy of his work, and then I like the message.”

Fairgoers can catch the hawk and falcon demonstration at 3:15 pm on Saturday and Sunday. The Peregrine Fund also has a booth at the fair, where Smylie and his fellow conservationists distribute literature and answer questions about the falcon, which almost became extinct some 40 years ago because of the insecticide DDT. Smylie is a welcome addition to the event, captivating his audiences

Falconers train their birds to chase a lure.

DAN WILLIAMS, NM DEPT. OF GAME & FISH

The year was 1957. A young UNM football player named Tom Smylie was mentally preparing for a halftime drubbing from his coach when he spied a cadet on the sidelines with a falcon on his arm. The cadet and his falcon then put on a spectacular show that completely captivated Smylie. It would prove to be a defining moment in his life.

Soon after graduation, Smylie embarked upon a lifelong career in wildlife biology that would include 22 years as assistant regional director of the New Mexico Department of Fish and Wildlife Service.

Now retired, and considered one of the most respected authorities on raptors and raptor conservation, Smylie is a consultant with The Peregrine Fund, a nonprofit in Idaho that works to conserve populations of wild birds of prey.

But what Smylie loves to do most is fly falcons and hawks. On September 20 and 21, the 77-year-old Edgewood resident returns to the Santa Fe Renaissance Fair at El Rancho de las Golondrinas, where he’s put on raptor shows for the past four years. And it’s no accident that he’s invited to this particular fair. “Falconing was an important part of the culture of the Renaissance,” Smylie notes.

“Up until gunpowder and guns arrived [from China in the 17th century], it was a pretty effective form of hunting.”

Amid the color and revelry of acrobats and jousters, Smylie and his birds—a male lanner falcon named Zorro and EZ, a male Harris’s hawk—attract a huge crowd on the hillside at Falcon Field. To the delight of spectators, EZ flies from the Renaissance Fair’s king to his queen, and Zorro chases lures (substituting for small birds, its typical prey) high in the air,

in the same way he himself was captivated at that fateful football game many years ago.

“Tom’s shows are extremely popular,” says Joseph Maes, curator of historical interpretation at Las Golondrinas. “Before each presentation and at his booth, he explains the importance and history of falconry and how these magnificent creatures are protected for future generations to cherish and enjoy.”

Madrid’s Mine Shaft Tavern took home the People’s Choice Award.

For grilled-meat lovers, there was just one place to be last Friday: at the Farmers Market Pavilion for the second annual Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown.

As much an occasion to savor some of the best burgers in town as it was a chance to celebrate Santa Fe as the country’s green chile cheeseburger capital, the Smackdown showcased the inspired creations of eight area restaurants.

The Tiho Dimitrov Trio provided a bluesy rock soundtrack to an evening of clanging spatulas, wafting smoke, and heady aromas, as chefs and grill cooks prepared wave after wave of elevated takes on the venerable dish for an ever-eager crowd. Picking the best burger was never going to be easy for the judges or attendees, but it proved to be an enviable task that everyone present took on with gusto.

In the end, Madrid’s Mine Shaft Tavern and its “Mad Chile” burger (topped with battered and fried Hatch green chiles and aged cheddar cheese) walked away with the People’s Choice Award. The “Alien” burger—a gooey, otherworldly concoction featuring blue corn chile relleno, bacon, pepper Jack cheese, and guacamole—earned Second Street Brewery the title of Reigning Chomp, as selected by local and national food critics.

Judging by the enthusiastic response to all of the finalists’ burgers, the Smackdown is fast becoming a beloved fixture on Santa Fe’s culinary scene.

Violent Femmes

The iconic 1980s acoustic punk rockers the Violent Femmes are nowhere near gone, daddy, gone. Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the release of their first album, the Femmes have been touring the U.S. and Canada since May, and on September 11 they brought their raw energy before the faithful fans crowding the patio at Sol Santa Fe. Opening with “Blister in the Sun,” the Femmes played their entire eponymous 1983 album, with singer/songwriter/ guitarist Gordon Gano belting every hit exactly the way we first heard it, while bassist Brian Ritchie mastered the familiar instrumentation. Not just for now-grown-up kids of the ’80s, the Femmes’ sound resonated with teens, their older siblings, and their parents in the crossgenerational audience. “I didn’t feel like I was watching a tribute to something from my past,” one attendee shared. “The show felt completely vital and relevant.”
