COURTESY THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT

DWI on the Rocks

How one influential NM power broker escaped a drunken driving charge

The Albuquerque police officer whose lapel camera captured this video wrote in a report that Ryan Flynn performed poorly on roadside tests, smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes during the midnight traffic stop.

B Y J U S T I N H O R WAT H A N D J E F F P RO CTO R j e f f p r o c t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ust after midnight on May 20, Albuquerque police Officer Joshua Montaño saw a luxury sedan veer into a turn bay blocked off by bright orange traffic barrels before it pulled back onto an Interstate 25 frontage road.

Montaño stopped the 2004 Infiniti in the parking lot of the Marriott Pyramid in Northeast Albuquerque.

A veteran DWI cop who has conducted hundreds of drunken driving investigations, Montaño approached the vehicle on foot. He was armed with a slew of additional information gleaned from a police service aide and a concerned citizen: The Infiniti’s driver had swerved numerous times traveling northbound from Downtown Albuquerque, he’d delayed proceeding through a green light by 10 seconds, and he’d done it all with his headlights turned off.

In the driver’s seat of the car was Ryan Flynn, Gov. Susana Martinez’ former cabinet secretary of the New Mexico Environment Department who left that job in 2016 to become executive director of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association.

Montaño asked whether Flynn, 39, had consumed any alcohol. Flynn shook his head, saying he was not drinking. It

was the first of several denials, but Montaño suspected otherwise because of Flynn’s slurred speech and smell of alcohol—both documented in his meticulous police report.

The officer believed he had a solid case and offered Flynn a potential chance to stay out of jail by taking a breath test.

Flynn refused and was arrested on suspicion of aggravated DWI, first offense, and failure to maintain a traffic lane. Montaño noted in his report that Flynn “performed poorly” on a series of sobriety tests.

Less than three months later, Flynn pleaded no contest to a lone count of careless driving in exchange for dismissal of the DWI charge—and a promise that he attend DWI school, a victim impact panel and submit to screening for substance abuse issues.

Flynn is an attorney who lives in Santa Fe and helms one of New Mexico’s most powerful trade groups, representing an industry that accounts for more than a third of the state’s $6 billion annual budget. He has maintained in court proceedings and in an administrative hearing aimed at his driving privileges that he was not drinking the night he was arrested.

An SFR review of dozens of pages of police, court and jail records, courtroom recordings, police body camera video and a handful of interviews illustrates the

SFREPORTER.COM

broad powers prosecutors have in deciding how and whether to proceed on DWI cases. That runs contrary to the narrative pushed by Bernalillo County District Attorney Raul Torrez, a newly minted top prosecutor who mounted a successful public campaign for a multi-million dollar increase in taxpayer money to assist his office in prosecuting criminal cases, including DWI prosecutions.

Torrez and his chief DWI attorneys have blamed a 50 percent DWI dismissal rate on police officers not showing up to court and pretrial interviews.

The Flynn case, however, shows little to no evidence of such external snags that could doom a case.

When asked to explain the his office’s decision to drop the aggravated DWI charge against Flynn, Torrez distanced himself, saying he was not “directly involved” in the case.

Michael Patrick, a spokesman for Torrez, Assistant District Attorney Joshua Boone, and Jason Greenlee, chief of the division that prosecutes DWI cases, said during a telephone interview last week that Torrez was not consulted on the case.

In separate interview responses, the trio said Boone reviewed the evidence, including body camera footage, and made the final call to offer Flynn a plea deal.

Boone said his assessment was that there was not enough probable cause

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M / N E WS

—a key standard in prosecutorial decision-making—to pursue the DWI charge.

He also said his assessment concluded that Flynn had not been drinking the night of the stop.

But SFR has learned that Boone’s assessment was quite the opposite on those two points: He had, in fact, determined that the case would survive a probable cause challenge and that Flynn’s conduct in the video clearly showed he had been drinking.

Boone had his doubts about whether he could win a jury trial against Flynn, SFR has learned, although no prosecutor is ever certain about how a jury will rule in any case.

It is not clear why Boone decided to plead the case all the way down to careless driving.

The DA’s Office said Boone had made a written assessment of the case in a series of notes, but Patrick refused to release them.

Kari Morrissey, Flynn’s attorney, said she believed the case would be an easy one for her.

“That doesn’t look like a drunk guy to me,” Morrissey said in an interview.

Flynn told police at least nine times that he had not been drinking, the video shows. Yet at his August plea hearing, Morrissey told Metropolitan Court Judge Sharon Walton that, when Flynn “was taken to the jail, he blew a 0.02, at the jail.”

That would have been at least seven hours after Flynn was stopped, according to jail records, although Morrissey disputes the hour at which her client was booked. In her interview with SFR, she downplayed the jail breath test results.

The DA’s Office was not the only entity that cleared Flynn. David Buchanan, the administrative law judge who presided over a hearing for the state Motor Vehicle Division, reversed the revocation of Flynn’s drivers license.

“The preponderance of the evidence presented at the hearing did not establish that Officer Montaño had reasonable grounds to believe that the driver was driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs,” Buchanan stated in his order.

In an email to SFR, Flynn said: “Both the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office and an independent Administrative Law Judge objectively reviewed the facts and arrived at the same conclusion: I should not have been detained and there was no evidence to support the charges.”

teve Pearce says he’s spent about four nights in his house since May. He doesn’t plan to put a dent in that own-bed deficit anytime soon.

He plans to barnstorm around the state until he’s told everyone he can that he should be New Mexico’s governor. He doesn’t seem likely to arrive at a satisfactory saturation stopping point until Election Day in November.

Pearce must convince a state that’s in the final months of its second term under now-unpopular Republican Gov. Susana Martinez that the problem isn’t with Republicans, it’s with her. Martinez recently refused to endorse Pearce, and the veteran congressman says that’s fine by him.

While Pearce’s southern New Mexico congressional district has been leaning more and more his way since he was first elected in 2002, it still has more registered Democrats than Republicans and a majority of voters identify as Hispanic. He’s never lost a race there, but he couldn’t make that appeal stick on a statewide level in 2008, when he narrowly defeated a more moderate Heather Wilson in the US Senate primary, but was trounced by Tom Udall in the general election, losing by more than 20 points.

“That was the Obama year. And that was the year of the financial meltdown,”

Pearce tells SFR during an hour-long conversation on a recent afternoon. He thinks he would have won in 2010, and this time, he believes he has the political timing down.

Pearce, who also served two terms in the New Mexico Legislature, comes off as a guy who puts a lot of stock in personal experience. And despite the fact that it took more than a dozen requests from SFR to his staff (and a public promise at a luncheon attended by our editor and publisher) to get the man to sit down across a conference room table, Pearce doesn’t seem like a guy who is afraid to share his opinions.

Sometimes, however, they bump up against each other.

He thinks teachers have been turned into bureaucrats instead of educators.

“We want the teachers to do everything except teach,” he says.

He also believes, though, that some of them should be armed. Gun-free zones, he says, are invitations to school shootings. He wants the federal government to provide metal detectors for public schools. And he wants schools that refuse security personnel to have to be on the record with that choice.

“I want accountability for people who are choosing to do nothing in the face of it,” he says.

Pearce generally doesn’t think gun control will do much to curb gun violence and says gun ownership limits are hard to discuss in hypotheticals. Banning bump stocks? He’s open to the discussion. All questions should be asked, he says.

Should the CDC be allowed to ask them by researching gun violence?

There you run the risk of scientific bias, Pearce cautions. He thinks data is important, but how it’s gathered is im-

NEWS

portant, too. Government agencies are biased, he says, and while he can’t point to anything specific with gun control, he says he knows it when he sees it.

Take climate change studies, he says.

Pearce believes a lot of the research behind the global scientific consensus on human-caused climate change has been directed to get that result. Here, too, he has personal experience. He’s flown himself around the world and had to land in the Kiribati Islands, which are threatened by rising sea levels. But they haven’t disappeared, Pearce says, and he didn’t have to land in water.

He speaks frequently about creating jobs. He and his wife, Cynthia, are the sole owners of an oilfield equipment leasing company and have enough other business interests to land him among the top 50 wealthiest members of Congress, with a net worth of at least $7.73 million, according to Roll Call.

His knowledge of the oil industry has shaped his drive to add a refinery to New Mexico’s natural resources portfolio. “We ship our oil from southeast New Mexico to Houston and make Houston one of the richest cities on Earth,” he says. Why give up those jobs and that wealth?

Pearce’s experience growing up in a working poor family seems to be on the tip of his tongue when SFR asks about the argument that it’s unfair to waive six-figure jobs in front of desperate communities when there are long-term health costs that are harder to consider in tough economic times.

“Is it fair to waive poverty in front them?” he interrupts. “So, the people generally saying that are not living on $30,000 a year. What gives them the right to say that ‘I’m not going to let you find that job attractive’?”

Pearce is a big self-determination guy.

And that’s what gets him out the door early each morning, in a new town with new people to convince that he’s their guy.

Stairway to

nowhere As the Santa Fe University of Art and Design prepares to close, lawsuits try to recoup some of what students lost

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

he flames were visible clear across the 64-acre campus.

City police suspect that somebody used an accelerant last May to feed the blaze at the World War II-era barracks on the edge of the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, and the arson case remains open.

If set by a student, as former faculty and students allege, the act would have fit the broader mood they describe as anger, fear and ennui that had gripped the school in the weeks since its interim president emailed students on April 12 announcing SFUAD would close after the following school year.

In the months to come, the school’s corporate operator, the for-profit education company Laureate International, would bring collegiate representatives to SFUAD in what students say felt like a rushed attempt to connect them with other schools.

That did little to alleviate the sense of loss permeating the campus—to say nothing of all the money and time students had sunk into a place that would soon not exist.

A few took their anger out on school property, stealing a projector and other items from classrooms. The school’s president, Maria Puzziferro, eventually sent a campus-wide email on May 5 telling students the school would beef up its security to deter what she described as “inexcusable and destructive

acts.” Noting that students were enduring “an emotional time,” Puzziferro added that counseling was available “to anybody who would like to seek it.”

The announcements were a far cry from the ethos of Christian devotion with which the campus had been seeded in 1947, when it became the new home of a school founded in the mid-19th century by a Catholic teaching congregation.

The trajectory from a liberal arts college steeped in religious humanism to a liability in a multinational corporation’s portfolio reveals how readily private education companies can dump assets that aren’t turning a profit.

In November, Santa Fe District Court Judge Matthew Wilson ruled two

suits against Laureate and its affiliates could move forward, despite the company’s legal maneuvering to dispute its role in the closure. The attorneys on the case, Justin Miller and Ben Allison, hope that a case filed by three people will go to trial within the year. Another case alleging the same conduct by Laureate but involving several dozen plaintiffs may drag on for years, says Allison.

“Laureate promised all these students an education and a degree if they paid their tuition and fulfilled program requirements, and then Laureate broke that promise,” says Allison, of the namesake law firm Bardacke Allison LLP. Adding insult to injury, Allison says, Laureate delayed informing students of the pending closure until it was too late for a majority of the student body to transfer elsewhere, though it offered each of them a one-time, $2,500 “transfer grant.”

Laureate would not comment to SFR on any pending litigation, but spokeswoman Tanea Jackson said the company was “pleased” most students had transferred to other schools, including some with whom SFUAD has a working relationship.

“We believe we have presented all of our students, including the plaintiffs, adequate resources and avenues other than litigation to successfully continue their education and complete their degrees,” Jackson wrote in an email.

For former and current students who are plaintiffs in the case and spoke to SFR, some of whom are tens of thousands of dollars in debt as a result of attending the school, Laureate’s efforts have not been adequate.

Outside the Greer Garson Theatre, a statue no longer stands.

And for the city of Santa Fe, the school’s departure leaves a multi-million dollar hole and a cultural void that nobody is sure how to fill.

The barracks that burned last year were sold to the state nearly 10 years ago, and are more recently known for their use as film sets for two TV series, Manhattan and Longmire. Their history is tied up in the former stewards of the school, the Christian Brothers. The college bought the barracks from the federal government after the war and housed the brothers in them for decades while they taught courses at the school.

Enrollment at the brothers’ College of Santa Fe peaked in the early 1970s, boosted by the student deferments that allowed young men to avoid being sent to Vietnam. When the war ended, enrollment plummeted and the school’s board of trustees grew increasingly worried about its financial prospects. One solution the board pursued was to emphasize studio and creative arts in the place of traditional curricula.

Financially, “we were gradually bleeding to death,” says Brian Dybowski, a brother who taught and lived at the school from 1966 to 2009. Art programming required limited class sizes and large investments in supplies, but the change didn’t raise enrollment. By 2008, after several years in the red, the school was on the verge of collapse.

It had already been approached by Laureate that summer, when the company offered to provide capital for the continued operation of the college, but the company backed out soon after making the offer.

In a last-ditch effort to save the campus, the city of Santa Fe took out a loan from the New Mexico Finance Authority to purchase the campus property for $19.5 million in August 2009. The city government then leased the campus out to Laureate for a 26-year period, during which time the company agreed to pay the city $2.3 million annually in rent.

The student lawsuits say this was something of a baitand-switch by Laureate, because it allowed the company to take over the campus without assuming the College of Santa Fe’s $35 million debt.

Laureate vaguely describes itself as “affiliated with SFUAD” in its only publicly available annual report for investors, which it released last year. After Lau-

phasis on contemporary music. The program offered courses in film scoring and studio mixing, classes that are harder to find at traditional conservatory schools.

“They just had a very unique program that offered a different educational program with a different set of skills,” says Brooks, who is now suing Laureate. She enrolled at the school in August 2014 and has stuck around to finish her degree.

Another plaintiff in the case, Sasha Hill, was discharged from the Navy and learned of SFUAD after researching photography programs. She found it easy to connect with a recruiter, who spoke with her on the phone and then personally showed her around the school. She moved to Santa Fe from Kentucky and enrolled in January 2014.

Both Hill and Brooks agree the education they received their first three years at SFUAD was valuable. But outside of class, they say that the overall quality of the school seemed to decline even as more students enrolled.

For some who lived on campus, the dormitories were dirty and uncomfortable, according to Kim Jones, who started at SFUAD in the spring of 2014 to study creative writing. Jones found Santa Fe to be a charming place, and enjoyed her classes, but came to resent the campus itself.

“At SFUAD, they focused on cultivating your own style as an artist rather than just trying to teach you theory and how to conform,” says Jones, who is also a former SFR intern. Shortly after her first year, however, she says she started venturing off campus more frequently due to ant infestations, dirty showers and bad food.

Students enrolling at SFUAD were nonetheless building a culture, they say.

The company continued to aggressively market and recruit new students, even as the school failed to meet its revenue goals. Enrollment for the 2016-2017 school year reached just 650.

By 2016, the lawsuits against Laureate allege, the company was already preparing to dump the school from its portfolio. They also charge that Laureate installed an “absentee president and [Laureate] corporate representative,” Maria Puzziferro, for the task of overseeing Laureate’s divestment from SFUAD. She replaced Larry Hinz, the president of the school since 2011 and a former Laureate executive. Puzziferro had also presided over a restructuring of the for-profit Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Colorado in 2013.

The lawsuit against Laureate does not simply claim the corporation planned

to dump SFUAD, but that it even went through the motions of arranging a sham sale of the school to an American subsidiary of Raffles Educational Corp., a for-profit company listed on the Singapore Exchange, all the while knowing the sale would fall through.

Students were informed of Laureate’s intention to sell SFUAD to Raffles in an email from Puzziferro in May 2016, where she declared that the school’s administration aimed to “execute a seamless and collaborative change in ownership.” Reporting from SFR later highlighted that Raffles had run afoul of regulatory agencies in at least three countries since its inception in 1990, but none of that history was communicated to students. SFUAD was to be Raffles’ first entry point into the American education market.

According to the lawsuit, Puzziferro “let it slip to limited faculty” in January 2017 that she knew the school’s accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission, would never approve the acquisition, yet continued to misrepresent her knowledge of the situation to students and faculty. The suit further alleges that when Puzziferro emailed students last March to say the sale to Raffles had collapsed, she neglected to disclose that Laureate and Raffles had already decided to abandon the deal if it was not completed by April 3.

Despite the unsettling series of emails, incoming students that year say they were barely aware something was amiss. Amethyst Gallant, a plaintiff in the suit, says she was approached by a SFUAD recruiter after spending a year at another art school in Albuquerque. She was interested in studying graphic design, but hardly got to take any computer courses before the school announced its pending closure in April.

That fact, she says, disappoints her more than any other. “My first year was basically all book work and one computer class, but we never touched computers, [and] the only hands-on digital design class that I got to take was a Photoshop [class].”

In addition to tuition costs ranging from $9,212 to $14,932 per semester, all students also had to pay hundreds of dollars in “general fees”—and the school would impose others, such as an $80 parking pass, that some found to be arbitrary.

“The semester before they announced they were going to close, everything felt like they were trying to get as much money from us as possible,” says Sasha Hill, the Navy vet. “They weren’t picking up the pest control. Around

campus everything deteriorated, but they still charged a lot of money.”

Hill and others assumed the price of fees would drop at the ailing campus, but SFUAD has continued charging the same prices, even in its final year of operation after the majority of students left and the school laid off much of the staff. By the 2017-2018 school year, only 155 students remained.

Gallant, who left before the current school year, says the experience was like being “robbed.”

“I think [Laureate] owes me at the very minimum the entire amount that I gave them on top of the accruing interest rate of my loan I had to take out,” Gallant says.

Anger and shock swelled on campus after the closure was announced, but a sense of unity among faculty and students also developed amid the crisis, according to Gavin Tovar, who was a freshman film student now attending Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. A couple of protests took place on campus, but their numbers quickly thinned.

“I felt like people were saying a lot behind closed doors, how passionate they were about the movement [to save SFUAD]—but when it came down to doing anything, nobody stepped up,” Tovar says. He believes students should have protested in the city center to raise more awareness about the closure and what it meant.

Brooks, the student studying contemporary music who is still enrolled at SFUAD, described that spring semester as “an environment where everything is

nowhere

crashing down around you.” When she graduates, she says, she will have taken on nearly $100,000 dollars in debt for her time at SFUAD. “You’re trying to do finals in the midst of the school catching on fire and people kinda looting the school and messing things up,” she says, “you lose motivation.”

Like many of her former classmates, Dawndria Scherff’s life has been in flux since she left SFUAD. The school’s imminent closure voided a scholarship that was paying her tuition and sent her packing back to her hometown of Roswell, New Mexico. She recently enrolled in

cosmetology school as a backup plan, but dropped out after feeling unhappy.

“I found a place [at SFUAD] where I was totally comfortable and happy,” Scherff says. “Having to go back home and just try to find work and, in a sense, try to regain myself and find happiness all over again—they’ve taken away my scholarship I worked so hard for, the internships I was promised from the school. All that’s been taken away, all my opportunities are gone, and now I have to find it again on my own.”

For hundreds of others, a similar search continues. About 95 students are currently taking classes on campus, and SFUAD spokeswoman Debra Epstein

Former graphic design student Amethyst Gallant depicts the departure of students as jackalopes, the school’s mascot.

says the school does not track where its former students ended up. A handful of former music students relocated to McNally Smith College of Music in Minnesota last fall, only to see that for-profit school close in December.

Meanwhile, the city is on the hook for around $27 million, due to the New Mexico Finance Authority for 18 years after SFUAD’s lease on the property ends June 30. Dry brush has piled up against several buildings, and the school has already transferred some of the unused property back to the city for reduced rent payment.

The city has been collecting ideas for the midtown campus’ future, and is recruiting five design teams with the help of the Santa Fe Art Institute to draw up plans this spring. The teams will be getting inspiration from an online public survey that asked participants to rate possible uses for the campus. Options include post-secondary education, affordable housing, co-working space, a “tech hub,” city government offices and a dog park.

After analyzing the results of the surveys and taking other factors into consideration, the design teams are supposed to share their vision with “10-20 thoughtful influencers” picked by city officials, who will select a final plan. City officials have yet to choose these influencers, according to city spokesman Matt Ross.

The reason for handpicking the participants explains Ross in an email, is that if the city is “hoping to have an impact through the site on housing, film, education, etc., we should get feedback from leaders and advocates in those areas.”

Smoking pipe tobacco outside The Screen, SFUAD’s endangered art-house, film school associate chair Liam Lockhart says he has been calling rich friends to ask if they’d be willing to invest in his program. He has until May 12, the end of the semester. Then, his courses on international horror film and 1970’s cinema will finish, and he’ll be out of work.

In the likely event that his efforts fail, he argues the school’s closure gives students an important early lesson.

“It is the absence of limitations which is the greatest enemy of art,” says Lockhart, paraphrasing the late director Orson Welles. “The more restraints we have imposed on us, the more censorship, the more we have to be committed to our vision, and committed to getting it out there.”

“If Santa Fe really cares about its future as a city,” he argues, it will “finally recognize the importance of youth, and keeping them here, keeping this institution.”

TECH

O’Keeffe’s new digital curator envisions art experiences to spark individual creativity

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

L

ast November, I wrote about the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum’s new initiative to create—with help from a federal grant—a custom database of viewsheds that will eventually be used for interactive experiences related to the artist’s life and work. I learned then that the project was one of what will be an evolving commitment to integrating technology into the museum’s artistic mission.

At the end of January, the museum welcomed its new digital curator, Liz Neely, as part of a “commitment to technological innovations.” Neely will oversee expansion into interactive, multimedia and immersive mediums for fans, visitors and scholars of the seminal modernist painter.

COURTESY OF THE GEORGIA O’KEEFFE MUSEUM.

Off the Wall

Neely’s background and training includes curatorial, education and technological pursuits; prior to coming to O’Keeffe, she was the senior director of integrated content at the American Alliance of Museums in Washington, DC. She also has been influenced in her thinking about integrating technology into museum programs by her participation in the maker movement. In a 2013 Ted Talk on “inventing fabulation,” Neely persuasively discussed the creative value of imagining and making things, even if those things might seem “ridiculous.” The pathway began when Neely, for fun, attended a workshop that trained participants in part to use Arduino (an open-source electronics platform) and began imagining and trying to make things herself.

In Neely’s case, her invention was a Twitter dress that sang bird songs and flapped its wings when someone tweeted at her. (Neely also made a second dress for the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, currently on display in Winnipeg Canada, which lights up in various iterations in response to the hashtags #equality, #reconciliation and #environment).

Part of Neely’s takeaway from engaging with the maker community was that the act of making can be transformational in unexpected ways for the creator, and she brings that philosophy to designing museum programming.

“What I’ve really always been interested in is designing experiences,” Neely says, “whether that’s online or through con-

tent.” The O’Keeffe, she notes, has “lots of physical space,” creating multiple opportunities “to get people involved.” That involvement certainly includes considering interactive and immersive experiences, but Neely also emphasizes the potential to provide creative opportunities for museum audiences. “So it’s about designing experiences or programs that allow people to see the world differently and have that aha moment … that’s what it did for me when I started making … there are a lot of different ways to see the world differently, and it’s really important to imagine different pathways for your life. That’s what museums and creativity to do.”

The maker community also emphasizes collaboration. Neely, when she set upon making her Twitter dress, didn’t know how to make a dress, let alone make one that interacted with social media. She learned with help from others (including her father, who has an electronics background).

Liz Neely, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum’s new digital curator, will integrate technology into the museum’s exhibits and programs.

This collaborative spirit guides museum culture as well, she says. Historically, she notes, art museums have operated more as “storehouses and caretakers of the world’s collections,” but have evolved to incorporate more of the interactive elements traditionally associated with children’s and science museums.

“The benefit that we have is that we’re a community of museums,” she says. “Museums aren’t in competition with one another … we can work as a community of professionals [and] we’re learning about how we can use experience design.”

Experience design encompasses such ventures as education programs that incorporate 3D printing and just-fun-foreveryone immersive virtual reality.

Neely says the future interactive projects will be targeted both at visitors to the museum and O’Keeffe’s home and studio in Abiquiu as well as online users. A long-term goal, she says, is creating and connecting a databank that makes available the myriad vast resources connected to O’Keeffe’s work and her life—from her letters to her paintbrushes—“so we can design experiences and experiment with things.” The museum also recently hired a new curator of education and interpretation, Katrina Stacy, with whom Neely will be working on new public initiatives.

Certainly, the vast material available related to O’Keeffe’s work and life provides numerous possibilities to engage people.

“She was such an interesting multifaceted person,” Neely notes, “so the question as a museum is: How do we tell the story?”

The ultimate goal, she says, is to “connect people with those storylines. We’re not interested in technology for technology’s sake, but in thinking about how we get across these points of interest. A lot of people who come here, the first time you see some of these things, it is transformative…and you can let your mind wander.”

And from there, anything can happen.

TEA, ANYONE? OK, we’ve been heaping praise on SITE Santa Fe since the renovation like it’s going out of style, but let’s all agree they’ve just been straight killin’ it lately. And the straight killin’ continues, this time in the form of a guided tour and tea. Yes, you get into the museum and access to its current installation, Future Shock, but for a mere $3 more, you’ll also get a cup of tea and a chance to absorb the galleries alongside artist Patrick Bernatchez. Our love of this is twofold: Tea is awesome, and having a real-life contemporary artist to bounce art thoughts off of is an innovative move that’ll surely awaken a few minds. Well done, SITE.

MUSIC SAT/3 CELLO? CELLO. We love a good ambient soundscape, especially those that sidestep new age nonsense and just sound really weird and intricate. Thus, we like Cello Cosmos, the duo project of cellist Michael Kott and electronic musician Dwight Loop (who, coincidentally, is super into producing loops for this thing). Think of it like the soundtrack to space or like the beautiful coming together of disparate music techniques for beautiful movements running the gamut between strange and hypnotic to gorgeous, moving and even spooky.

“The harmonic convergence of effects-enhanced cello and symphonic eletronics makes for a oneof-a-kind cosmic collage,” Loop tells us. Hell yes.

ART OPENING FRI/2

Burnt Into Your Part of participating in Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada is making sure you dress the part. It’s easy to underdress and weirdly difficult to overdress, but with Santa Fe photographer Nicholas King there to document the attendees (referred to as “Burners”) in their unique attire, you definitely wanna do it right. King sees more value in capturing the people rather than The Man himself, and, he says, he hopes to “reveal the amazing diversity of the people that come to the event—sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, body types, occupations.” King, now 76, spent the last eight years dancing with and capturing Burners to create a collection of 60,000 photos, 172 of which are found in his new book, the aptly-titled Burners, and 7 Arts Gallery gave him the opportunity to share a number of these in an exhibit titled Burning Man: Up Close and Personal during the month of March.

“There are some fascinating connections that I have made as a result of the experience with the people [and] for me

to reveal that through my photographs is a dance that I initiate,” King tells SFR. “But the lead flows back and forth between me and the person I am photographing; trust develops that somehow. I can be touched by that person and they are touched by me.”

King’s portraits tell the stories of the outrageous costumes that come from the diverse community of Burners and can show what to expect from the event while providing his unique perspective.

“Being around that kind of energy and creativity and willingness to explore and the support for that is one of the key reasons that I keep going back,” King says. (Juan Mendoza)

“No more questions!” and catchy backup vocals. It’s all at once familiar but new again, like a revitalization of ’70s and ’80s British punk and rock invasion.

And punk they are—just check the video for “Visa Vulture,” a sly takedown of Britain’s Prime Minister Teresa May, wherein singer Steen asks, “Teresa May, won’t you let me stay?” Punk rock has always called out the politicians, just never so pleasantly before. And therein lies much of Shame’s brilliance—a variety of sounds with a subtle punk foundation.

“Punk scenes kind of stopped existing— well, they do still exist, but they’re not quite as tribal as back in the day,” Green tells SFR. “Very few kids these days identify with one particular scene, and that’s kind of what we grew up around; it wasn’t a defined genre scene when we were growing up.”

Green does say the band, the sound, the success, is kismet—a combination of

n December of last year, music website Noisey stated that UK post-punk band Shame “have been stupidly lucky, but deserve it all.” Other outlets have shared similar perspectives, citing free practice space and helpful advice from musicians along the way or, in the case of The Guardian, dubbing them “Britain’s most exciting band.”

How, after all, would a five-piece band without a single member over the age of 21 have achieved such notoriety with a mere two albums under their belt (their newest, Songs of Praise, only released in January)? How would such a new act find its way onto a label like Dead Oceans alongside Japanese Breakfast and Califone? How would they tour the world?

Easy: They’re just that good.

Granted, Shame’s rise has been somewhat meteoric but, as is always the case, luck was only a small part of the equation. “It’s a bit of a weird headline, but we have been lucky in the past,” guitarist Eddie Green says. “We’ve had people who bought us equipment or let us use their equipment for free, but I think what that headline kind of ignores is that for every bit of fortune we’ve had, there’s been misfortune.”

Shame follows in the footsteps of the punk and post-punk old guard, citing the recently deceased Mark E Smith of The Fall as an influence, and crafting a sound that’s someplace between Echo and the Bunnymen and Sex Pistols—only without the over-the-top nonsense. Shame has a throwback sound, sure, but they’re taking rock to original places as well. Take the single “Concrete,” a bass-heavy head-bobber with angry, spoken lyrics layered over airy guitars that lead into rage shouts of

growing up in London together and an organic direction that comes from just being them. “[The sound] was definitely just a coming-of-age for all of us,” he explains. “We sort of developed in our own ways, and I think this record is like a display of the past three years learning how to become musicians.” This means showcasing guitars at a time when DJs and knob-twisters roam the earth; a time when it’s been said guitars are on the way out. Green doesn’t see it as a problem, though, saying there are “people like that in the world who’re just going to be contrarian.”

Either way, Shame might just be one of the most important bands to watch today if we’re ever going to have and embrace a true rock renaissance (thanks for nothing, nü metal). They seem poised to be able to do whatever the hell they want which, according to Green, would be quite liberating. “As a writer, to have the ability to go in several different directions at once … that’s what everyone is driving for—creative freedom,” he says.

“I don’t know if it’s been lucky or if we’ve just never pinned ourselves to a specific sound or, like, a really standard-issue post-punk record—but if your output is eclectic from the start …”

They’ll be on the road for the next little while, but Green says they’re already working on new material while touring.

“If you don’t write when you’re on the road … the label will come knocking looking for new demos.”

Next stop? Santa Fe for a Monday performance at Meow Wolf alongside Michigan rock act Protomartyr and hometown garage punk heroes Sex Headaches. Hey, older punk weirdos and kids who’ve given up on guitars—be there.

Quickies I recently stumbled on an Instagram account of a young woman who’s a “knife play” enthusiast. I consider myself sex-positive, but I must say I was disturbed by the images. I was also shocked that I didn’t know this was a thing! But of course it’s a thing cuz everything is a thing, right? I don’t want to outlaw it, and everyone has a right to their kinks, I guess, but I’m so wigged out! I guess I don’t have a question here besides wondering what you think about it. Ick! -Can’t Understand This Everything is, indeed, a thing, CUT, and intimidating things like knives—objects that symbolize power, danger, and control—are far likelier to become things (fetishized objects) than nonthreatening things like waffle irons or useless things like moderate Republicans.

As for what I think about knife play, well, it’s definitely not for me. But if someone wants to incorporate knife play into their sex life safely, responsibly, and consensually, and package it in a manner that doesn’t violate Instagram’s terms of service, I don’t have a problem with it.

I’m a first-time dog owner. I LOVE my dog, but here’s the thing: he sleeps in my bed with me, and would probably whine and bark at this point and wake up my roommates if I kicked him out of the room. Is it wrong to masturbate when my dog is on my bed? He’s not always sleeping. Could this damage my pup in some way?

-Conundrums Are Tacky Dogs have been watching humans fuck for 30,000 years. So long as your pup is a passive observer and not (ick) an active participant, he’ll be fine and you won’t go to jail.

About three years ago my wife declared an end to sex. (We are in our late sixties.)

However, she insists on “taking one for the team” once a month. She makes it clear she derives no enjoyment from sex, but I cannot refuse to participate without a huge fight. I find that I have developed a sexual attraction to other men my age. Every man I encounter in gay bathhouses considers oral sex safe, and no one wants to use a condom. Most of these guys seem very experienced and are not worried about STDs from oral sex. Should I be worried?

-Concerned Older Man Enquires You can get all sorts of things from giving and receiving oral sex: gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, etc. My advice: stop having sex with your wife so long as you’re seeking out men in bathhouses. I suspect your wife is only fucking you once a month to keep you from straying (which you’re already doing) because she believes—incorrectly—that if you aren’t getting sex at home, COME, you’ll leave her to go get sex. That’s obviously not the case—you’re getting sex elsewhere without her knowledge (or her consent and putting her at risk in the process) and you aren’t leaving.

Tell her you’re also done with straight sex (the “straight” can be silent), have one last huge fight, and then go suck some dick.

Gay and married here. My dad got on Instagram, followed me and some of my friends, and then requested to follow a friend whose account is private. My friend stupidly approved my dad’s request without realizing it was my dad. There were some R-rated photographs of my husband and me having some pretty kinky (and pretty great) sex with our friend on his account. My dad called me

screaming about how he and my late mom were faithful to each other for 42 years and that’s what marriage means and my husband and I shouldn’t have gotten married at all if we were going to be having sex with other people.

Just before my mother died she confided in me about an affair she’d had and asked me to retrieve and destroy some letters and cards, which I did. I’ve had three screaming fights with my dad about monogamy in the last two weeks. Can I tell him his marriage wasn’t monogamous?

-Son Blows Friend, Dad Blows Gasket No, SBFDBG, you can’t. Your mom isn’t around to defend herself and, absent proof of the affair, your dad will think it’s a spiteful (and incredibly) hurtful lie. And even if you had proof, SBFDBG, telling your father about your mother’s affair would be an act of grotesque cruelty. You have every right to be angry— your dad is being an asshole—but poisoning his memories of his marriage isn’t a proportionate response to his assholery. Instead, tell your dad your sex life is none of his business and that you refuse to discuss it with him any further. If he brings it up, hang up. Repeat as necessary.

Your mom wanted to take this to the grave and you promised her—on her deathbed—that you would help her do just that. Don’t betray her.

I’m a 52-year-old woman who has been in an open relationship with my partner for 2.5 years. Great sex, intense connection, best friends! Early on he expressed a desire for me to play with his ass. At first I did, but I was never comfortable with it. I’m not into anal myself and doing anal with him turns me off.

Over the course of the 2.5 years he’s become very frustrated. I tell him to go find a woman or a man who enjoys ass as much as he does and play with them. We are in an open relationship, after all. He claims he has no time to date anyone else. We are at a crossroad in our relationship. He’s suggesting that I play with his ass or we go our separate ways. It’s ludicrous to me that it has come to this. Any words of wisdom?

-Ass Play Or Else Your “best friend” is a petulant, manipulative asshole. DTMFA. The idea of spanking my wife really captures my sexual imagination. I don’t want to inflict a lot of pain, but seeing her over my lap with a bit of pink on her ass is the hottest thing in the world to me. My wife indulged me once—it was incredibly hot for me, but she found it degrading and refuses to do it again. By her own admission, I treat her with respect in our day-to-day lives. I would be ecstatic even if we only did this rarely, say, once a month. Again, no dice from the wife—it’s degrading, end of discussion. Otherwise, our sex life is fantastic.

I believe that Dear Prudence would side with my wife: if you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it. My view is that it’s a small inconvenience that brings your husband an incredible amount of joy, so of course you should do it! What are your thoughts?

-Wife Is So Hot Over The Knee If I were your wife, WISHOTK, your argument would carry the day—but I’m not your wife.

Your wife is your wife and she gave spanking a try, found it degrading in a non-sexy way, and doesn’t want to do it again. And that’s the not-the-least-bit-pink end of it. Being treated with respect by our romantic partners—literally the bare-ass minimum—doesn’t obligate us to indulge our partners in sex acts we find unpleasant, degrading, or disgusting. So you’ll have to settle for that otherwise fantastic sex life.

SIMPLY SANTA FE

The Jean Cocteau Cinema continues to host intimate art openings in its lobby, this time with local multimedia creator Shakti Kroopkin (5:30 pm Thursday March 1. Free. 418 Montezuma Ave., 466-5528), a transplant from Chicago who’s been studying and creating art since, she says, she was only 7 years old. Kroopkin embraces the abstract for her new body, a strange yet magnetic array of skewed shapes, wild colors (or no colors) and intriguing creatures that we find both kinda creepy and kinda cool. It might seem like cubism at first blush, or perhaps like desaturated Kandinsky, though with Kroopkin’s swirling and expertly coralled chaos, they become movements unto themselves; almost living and painstakingly detailed.

(Alex De Vore) What’s your new body of work like?

All of the work I’ve created this year— some previous to getting the show and some in the months since—there are kind of two bodies coming through. I produced ... creatures coming out of larger pieces. I call them my ‘Potluck Series.’ They’re done on clay board, which is wood with a thin layer of clay, and I carve into that clay with an etching tool. I decided to keep a number in black and white; I see them like a film reel, I see them going into animation, the fourth dimension. The other is pure abstraction, though it bridges the surreal and my street art influences. They always evolve as I go, though I have my processes.

You grew up in Chicago. Did moving to Santa Fe have any particular impact on your work?

My work, I feel, bridges a manmade reality with surreal organic forms that exist here in New Mexico. I was influenced by the colors here; the adobe and the turquoise. The vastness of space has influenced creating paintings without boundaries, where it feels like the painting could go on and on. It’s more focused here, you just have to find your niche.

People always talk about art in Santa Fe, but it always seems like it’s romanticized. Is it challenging to make it as an abstract artist here?

I don’t feel I’ve found the exact right fit in terms of my work yet. It’s more of a struggle, but I think over the last 15 years and I’ve definitely seen a shift, even on Canyon Road. In the past it was more focused on Southwest art and what I’d call ‘decorative abstraction,’ but I think people have become more open to abstraction here in the last 10 years. But even at my [group] shows, the people who are painting and selling aspens and horses are outselling me. I did paint one horse last year, though. And I sold it.

ALEX DE VORE

Heidi Loewen’s clay empire

BY IRIS MCLISTER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

G

allery owner, artist and ceramics instructor Heidi Loewen is a goofball, but don’t take my word

for it.

“My one rule,” she likes to say, “is that you cannot take a class from me unless you have a sense of humor. It can be dark, weird, whatever. You just need to have one.” Would it be true, then, to say she doesn’t take herself too seriously? “I take my art and my work extremely seriously,” she emphasizes. “Myself? No. I don’t take myself too seriously.”

Loewen grew up in Rochester, New York, with parents who encouraged their daughter’s creativity. Weekends were spent meandering museums and art galleries, where a precocious Loewen first became enamored of designer Wendell Castle (perhaps best known for furniture). Her first experience with clay was thanks to a class she took as a 10-year-old, and she remembers instantly falling in love with the malleable material. An avid

ABOVE: Heidi Loewen gussies up a pot-in-progress.

RIGHT: The artist herself.

classical musician, Loewen thought of becoming a concert pianist, but instead studied art at Skidmore College, interned at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, traveled to Switzerland to take art history classes at the Sorbonne and eventually returned to New York, where she worked at Sotheby’s before managing a private art collection in Boston.

While taking pottery classes at Harvard, she realized she wanted to work with clay full-time; Santa Fe felt like a natural next step. When she moved here in 1992, she first taught ceramics at St. John’s College and Santa Fe Clay before opening her own space four years later. Heidi Loewen Fine Art, her gallery and school, has been on Johnson Street—next to Shohko Café and up the street from the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum—for 26 years.

During a recent visit to the gallery, candles twinkled, soft music played and the wine flowed, uncorked with the help of a rhinestone-encrusted bottle opener. “I love pink wine,” she said, pouring a glass,

“because it tastes like drinking bubble gum!” Pointing out tiny, palm-sized dishes, she said, “I call these M&M bowls, because you could stash some in there. You could put your diamonds in there too.”

Loewen says things like this all the time, along with words like “toots” and “sweetie;” “appeteaser” instead of appetizer, and “turkwozzzz” instead of turquoise. It might be corny if it didn’t feel so obviously part of her natural demeanor.

Loewen will be ArtSmart’s 2019 Artist of the Year; the 25-year old local nonprofit offers scholarships to high school seniors, donates art supplies to public school students and generally fosters a range of creative activities for Santa Fe kids. Past honorees have included Richard Tuttle, Rebecca Tobey and the late Agnes Martin, who have acted as both mentor and instructor, donating their time to teach high-schoolers the techniques of their particular artistic trades. Loewen, who’s been teaching private ceramic art classes for decades, should be a natural.

“Painters can work alone just fine, and might work better that way,” Loewen tells SFR. “I think ceramic artists like to be together.” With this philosophy, Loewen teaches classes of up to 20 or so people in her intimate gallery space.

Instruction begins with a brief demonstration before students work at their own wheels. They may slice, curl or even karate chop their work, which Loewen then fires and glazes or gilds according to the student’s choice, and delivers later.

In her own creative practice, Loewen combines wheel-thrown porcelain with innovative design, resulting, for instance, in a vase whose demure, shell-pink exte-

rior is interrupted by a folded-open split, revealing shimmery, 22-karat gold-leafed insides. “A lot of my favorite things come from mistakes,” she says. Clay, certainly, is an ideal medium; if something isn’t working, squish it up and start over. The twisted, skinny porcelain pieces around her study, which she calls “tangos”—goldleafed, painted, or glazed—gave me pause.

Later, I realized they’re the cut-away, uneven rims of pots. “I love that they are ribbons of clay removed from the top of big bowls,” she said. “The tangos could be considered mistakes. Not by me.”

Many ceramic artists make work designed to be functional, but much of what Loewen creates is purely for decorative purposes. An example is her series of tiny high-heel stilettos, whose ceramic bodies are adorned with feathers, leopard-print fur, lace and gemstones. In a send-up to Louboutin, undersides are bright red, and many have gold-leafed interiors; they’re named things like “Tina” (after Turner) or “Come Prance With Me.” For a monumental highheeled red shoe which Loewen showed at Miami Basel’s Spectrum Art Fair in 2015, she used fire engine-red automotive paint instead of glaze, and adorned the 6-foot heel with crystals and fur.

It sounds ridiculous—and it is, and thank heavens. In not taking herself too seriously, Loewen urges us to do the same. Oh, and that red shoe?

It ended up winning one of Spectrum’s coveted Best Sculpture Awards.

The New Face of Coyote Café

MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN

@THEFORKSFR

FOOD

Famed Santa Fe fine dining restaurant takes a risk and makes a change

S

outhwestern style cooking is nationally appreciated for being unlike any other style of food native to America. Yet, if we ask the average foodie to name a Santa Fe restaurant, they’d be hard pressed to come up with anything. But the Coyote Café, opened in 1987 chef by Mark Miller to immediate rave reviews—then sold in 2008 to Eric DiStefano, Tori Mendez, and Quinn Stephenson—has always been a benchmark for modern southwestern cuisine. To this day it remains a venerable icon. With that kind of success already behind it, it’s noteworthy that the only remaining member of the new owners, Stephenson, alongside manager Schutz, are willing to put themselves out there and make major changes. If it’s not broke, why fix it?

Speaking with Stephenson the first day of Santa Fe Restaurant Week, he explains that to become more successful, the Coyote Café needed to evolve.“When I say we wanted to be competitive, I didn’t mean competitive locally, I meant competitive nationally with the best restaurants in the country, he says. “And when you’re holding the staff to such high levels in terms of service and the quality of food that Chef Eduardo Rodriguez (DiStefano’s sous chef, now the executive chef ) is putting out, the ambiance didn’t really match—the staff can’t fix that, the chef can’t fix that, so that’s my job to fix it, and make sure it

matches the other things we’re doing here.”It is refreshing to see that kind of ambition in Santa Fe, especially regarding a restaurant that is unequivacably a Santa Fe institution.

So what has changed, in terms of tweaking the ambiance? Stephenson and Schutz emphasize their respect for the importance of Coyote Café in the Santa Fe fine dining community, and their mission to honor its past while bringing the restaurant into the future.

The new story is a mix of bright colors and cool grays, accentuated by pops of turquoise. The interior of the main dining room has undergone a complete facelift. Stephenson wanted to expose the ceiling windows, and took out the series of bancos and the fireplace that once lined the windowed wall opposite the bar.

The countertops have been redone and are made of hand forged, acid-washed slabs of zinc. The lighting is all-new, the skylight in the ceiling aglow with 120 feet of LED tape and, in the center of the dining room, a red glass chandelier homage to a chile ristra is lit from beneath to cast delicate red shadows on the ceiling at night.

The Rooftop Cantina has also recently undergone changes, with newly installed retractable, floor length “windows” and a fireplace extending its season beyond the summer to now be open year round.

I returned for dinner that night to check out the menu, and while the appetizers have changed, the signature

Snuggle a baby, Support a Mom

dishes and entrees were all preserved, albeit with minor tweaks. It’s a fine balance; with so many aesthetic changes to the front of the house, it can be difficult to make too many changes in other areas without compromising what made the restaurant successful in the first place.

I had the crab and corn enchiladas with veracruz salsa ($22) to start, followed by the legendary cowboy cut steak ($80), which involves a loaded potato, borracho beans, red chile onion rings and horseradish butter.

It was fabulously way too much food, and even with two other people at the table we couldn’t finish. Dessert was a key lime tart with pineapple sorbet and tropical meringue ($11), the soft citrus flavors a refreshing palate cleanser after the hearty meal.

The food was good, although not a drastic departure from the Coyote’s previous incarnation. The major changes in the restaurant are mostly to do with the decor. “Modern southwestern” is a term that hearkens back to the days of Mark Miller, and recalls the far reaching influence of the Coyote’s heyday. Certainly, a case can be made that the kind of upscale “Santa Fe style” that the restaurant embodies has had influences that extend

far beyond food and well into the design world, not to mention its impact on fashion and art. Why could there not be a kind of harmonious synergy between the two?

Stephenson seems to be taking it a step further. Not just reviving a classic eatery or updating his space, he is creating a brand, striving for a kind of thematic unity that will be immediately recognizable in Santa Fe and beyond.

“I think great restaurants, you should be able to wake up out of a coma after five years and be presented with the menu and know where and when you are in the world,” Stephenson tells SFR. “Everything’s so safe now, you see California style cuisine everywhere, but when you’re reading our menu, there’s no doubt you’re in the southwest, you’re in the modern era. There’s a theme behind it, a culture and an identity.”

He’s right. And in taking a chance on a renovation, the Coyote Café is striving to evolve and speak truly of the traditions of Santa Fe. In that respect, I hope it succeeds.

folks than to others. Each airline hostess is from a different country; as written, the story gives virtually nothing to the Italian, Gabriella, played by Megan Colburn. It’s a shame, because her chic and effortless air could have been better used; my companion suggested that the Italian is simply meant to be more aloof and standoffish, but there wasn’t enough given her to communicate much more than a cardboard cut-out. Colburn does her best, but … meh.

The next-best-written hostess is Glo-

LYNN ROYLANCE

ne of the most common criticisms of Boeing Boeing, playwright Marc Camoletti’s 1960s farce about stereotypes, bigamy, beautiful airline hostesses and the room-with-lotsof-doors trope, is that the script sucks. I do not disagree.

That aside, Boeing Boeing still won the 2008 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, and the rendition onstage now at the Santa Fe Playhouse uses that same script.

I didn’t see that New York revival, but I have a feeling that award committees were simply so shocked the cast was able to do something so good with so little that they awarded it based on an A+ for effort.

But—I wasn’t there.

The actors of this Santa Fe production deserve the same A+ for effort and even make it something worth watching—dare I say, something you might go out of your way to watch. Putting on some great Arthur Miller is considerably easier than polishing this turd, and these folks do it well. It could have clipped a little faster here and there, but that’s a small crime.

The story concerns smarmy Bernard (Brett Becker), a bougie Parisian architect who, with the help of his surly, eye-rolling maid Berthe (Deborah Martinez), keeps three fiances who know nothing about each other. They are all airline hostesses (stewardesses if you’re nasty), and their flight schedules keep them alternately away from the apartment like planes passing in the night. When Bernard’s wide-eyed college friend Robert (a downright delightful Kev Smith) comes to visit, everything goes amiss—delayed flights and changed schedules make it so that all three women are in the apartment at the same time. Predictably, chaos ensues.

Let’s be clear that there was no weak link in this cast, but having said that, the script pays much more attention to some

ria, the American—a brassy Samantha Orner, who opens the show in a screaming-red jumpsuit, hat and matching lipstick, requesting ketchup on her pancakes.

Typical American. She’s ostentatious, self-involved, obnoxious and over-thetop, and gets nothing but better as the show progresses. She has the distinct big personality of a woman from the Northeast; and fittingly, the actress’ bio reveals she went to Rutgers, the state university of this writer’s home state, New Jersey. It shows (in a good way).

The script is kindest to Gretchen, the German hostess, played here by a shining Christine Smith. Now, full-disclosure time: I, Charlotte, also auditioned for this play in December. I was called back to read for Gretchen, up against Smith. Walking out of the callback, I sincerely hoped that director Jeff Nell would choose Smith. I got my wish, and Santa Fe audiences are luckier for it.

Smith, who we most recently saw as a Kit Kat Girl in the playhouse’s sold-out run of Cabaret, is hilarious as the overly dramatic beauty, sometimes peeping coquettishly like a milkmaid, then suddenly thrashing about with a booming scream of a Valkyrie. She destroys the stereotype that women can either be beautiful or funny, but never both. Her performance is an absolute treat; if you were on the fence

about seeing this show, the promise of her should push you over the edge.

The three non-tall-and-stunningwomen cast members are also fantastic; Bernard, despite also being ignored by the writer (there’s really no written reason that any one of those women should like him, never mind all three), is slimy and unique in Becker’s portrayal, all overly self-confident and smug. We loved watching him unravel. His relationship with Berthe, the maid, is appropriately comfortable. Indeed, Martinez as Berthe has a great rapport with all other actors on the stage, whether she likes them or is freaked out by them or distinctly despises them.

It’s easy to believe that she, who “came with the place” when Bernard bought it, was born to be an ideal domestic servant while simultaneously keeping her humanity and a solid dose of sass.

The ever-smiling Kev Smith (no relation to Christine), as Robert, is a gem. Robert is wet behind the ears and immensely adorable, drooling over Bernard’s fiances and marveling at how his slick friend can possibly keep this ruse going. Also excellent in the casting is that Robert is at least a foot shorter than all of the fiances, especially when they wear their heels. It’s slapstick gold.

Now, speaking of heels: We’d be remiss to skip mentioning costumer Ellen Parker’s downright triumph with this show. Of course, it’s to be expected that the hostesses’ coordinated costumes are great (we particularly enjoy Gabriella’s short-shorts and go-go boots), but the other three characters are perfectly outfitted as well. Bernard, who makes his entrance in a smoking jacket and white turtleneck, honestly made me laugh just to see him (“Man, this guy’s gonna be a douche”). Robert is dwarfed in goofy, nerdy blazers and plaid slacks, complete with a pocket square that matches the pants; Berthe, decked in a French maid outfit, is a character without being a caricature. Community theater budgets are always notoriously slim, but Parker made this show look like it had all the money in the world.

Overall, the playhouse’s choice for its season-opener farce was a good one.

This could have gone quite poorly, thanks to posessing very little by way of material, but Nell’s directorial—and particularly casting—skills are notable in the way these folks can make a business-class feast out of a foil pouch of peanuts.

BOEING BOEING

Christine Smith as Gretchen and Kev Smith (no relation) as Robert are two of many reasons to see this show; the script is not one of those reasons.

BEST MOVIE EVER

Shimmering sci-fi and Portman with guns

+ LOOKS SO

When one is deciding whether or not a film is any good, a wise rule is to ask if the filmmakers answered the questions they posed. Sure, it might feel interesting when a movie has an open ending, and you’ve almost positively got those people in your life who extoll the virtues of a story that leaves it up to the viewer to suss out a meaning.

For us, though, it always feels sort of like a cop-out. Annihilation lands someplace in there, a beautiful movie adapted from the 2014 novel of the same name by Jeff VanderMeer that sadly leaves a few too many questions unanswered and falters despite stunning CGI and interesting ideas.

Natalie Portman is Lena, a soldier-turned-scientist whose husband (Oscar Isaac, who really seems to be in just about everything these days), still a soldier, shows up talking nonsense after being MIA for a full year. Portman is thus pulled into the black-op world of government intrigue whereupon she learns a meteor from outer space crash-landed near the coast and has resulted in

a bizarre biological phenomenon known as “the shimmer,” which threatens to overtake the globe with … they don’t know what. Turns out her husband went into this thing with a squad of soldiers and that’s why he’s been missing, so, wouldn’t you know it, Lena and some other scientist-types volunteer to get in there and solve the mystery.

It’s beyond riveting for the first hour or so, but as we grasp wildly for answers alongside Lena and her crew, we eventually learn they’re not really coming. Oh, we get surface information and potential theories about what’s causing the blight and what it’s doing to the area’s biology, but rather than identifying what’s really going on, we instead struggle through a bunch of weird flora and fauna with some serviceable surface information that might have been OK had the setup not been so juicy.

Writer-director Alex Garland (Ex Machina, 28 Days Later) joins forces with VanderMeer to mixed results—do we care about Lena’s guilt or dying husband? Did we get enough of a feel from the others in the crew to care about their fates?

We’re hard-pressed to say for sure, even as some seriously spooky shit goes down, but by the time Lena reaches the meteor’s epicenter and we reach the payoff, it’s a pretty big letdown. Still, Jennifer Jason Leigh is a welcome addition as a heartless psychologist who repeatedly sends folks to their deaths, and the overall aesthetic is fantastic, even if the story fizzles out under the weight of the premise.

THE YOUNG KARL MARX

THE YOUNG KARL MARX

+ COSTUMES, ACTING - ACTION SCENES ARE AWKWARD, ANTI-CLIMACTIC

As the name implies, The Young Karl Marx follows the earlier years of the famed philosopher and godfather of communism, Karl Marx (August Diehl, Inglourious Basterds, Salt), as he meets German philosopher and colleague, Friedrich Engels (Stefan Konarske, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets), in Cologne, Germany, in 1844. This buddy movie shows us how their interests aligned and how they raged against the capitalist movement in Europe, a spark that would birth the communist movement a few years later.

With a lot of political dialogue, as expected, it’s still easy to become attracted to the bromance as the two men journey to critique the capitalist and socioeconomic politics of Brussels and Paris. They challenged the rhetoric of politics and ethics that branched into the Marxist theory, which is far from what we see in today’s capitalist society.

The acting is tightly-knit as are the filmmaking skills of Haitian Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter, Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro, Lumumba). The sets and locations are finely complimented with the

+ LOOKS AMAZING, HIDDLESTON, BRYDON

- CHARMING RATHER THAN HILARIOUS

What Aardman Studios does well, it does extremely well. The claymation, stop-motion achievements from the creators of Wallace and Gromit as well as the venerable Chicken Run, are marvelous throwbacks in an age of unreal (or too-real) CGI, wild animation and dizzying special effects.

Their latest offering, Early Man, is an artistic achievement. Set at the dawn of the Bronze Age, it captures the idyllic life of a small band of Stone Age holdouts who are blissfully unaware that the rest of mankind has moved on. They’re also blissfully unaware that their ancestors invented soccer. But when a marauding tribe of Bronze Age Frenchmen move into the neighborhood in search of ore, things go amiss. Only soccer can save them.

While hard-core Aardman fans aren’t likely to be wowed by the dulled-down wit of Early Man, it’s a far more accessible movie than even Chicken Run. Parents with younger kids or budding soccer fanatics will be charmed by the storyline. There’s a positive message and an easy-to-follow, if predictable, plot.

Claymation gets a little too Disney-fied in Early Man.

terrific as the villainous Frenchman Lord Nooth, dropping an over-the-top accent that matches the on-screen swagger of the character. Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) does well as the title character, Dug, and Rob Brydon (The Trip) is typically on point as a pair of soccer announcers as well as a message bird.

Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) has an important role as the girls-can-play-too Goona, who rises to the challenge of the game as player-coach of the Stone Age squad.

There’s a lot of Disney-esque camp here that ultimately can’t be saved for real fans by the occasional snickering wit of the Aardman crew, and Early Man doesn’t seem to be sure what it wants to be, which is unfortunate. It’s enjoyable, but it could have been so, so good.

BLACK PANTHER

8

+ CULTURALLY IMPACTFUL; BADASS WOMEN

- HEAVIER STUFF LOST IN THE NOISE

Someplace between the joyous celebration of all things African culture and the tremendous principal cast of all black actors in Black Panther lies a fairly run-of-the-mill comic book movie narrative, but it almost seems at this point that if we’re hitting any Marvel Studios movie in search of the non-formulaic, we’re going to be sorely disappointed.

We enter the fictional African nation of Wakanda as its prince, the mighty T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman, 42), is set to take the throne following his father’s murder (which you may have seen in Captain America: Civil War). For hundreds of years Wakanda has thrived thanks to the also-fictional vibranium, a metal so precious and powerful that it can make any far-fetched sci-fi dreams come true; a metal that just so happens to exist only there. Up until now, pretty much no outsiders have entered Wakanda, but when a mysterious former US soldier (Michael B Jordan, Creed) starts poking around and trying to find his way in for nefarious reasons, T’Challa must confront heavy truths about his country, his people and the heartbreaking past of African Americans. Fill things out with utterly badass women like Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Okoye (Danai Gurira), and we’re really getting somewhere.

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, Black Panther is a complete triumph. The costuming and hair, the production design and, frankly, the hot-as-fire score and soundtrack (thanks for the hit jams, Kendrick Lamar!) are all glorious. Where it falters, however, is in its attempts at a deep story. At the very edges of the action lies surface information about colonization and racism, but we never dive deep enough into these concepts

in any meaningful way. Rather, they’re mentioned briefly between kickass fight scenes which, yes, are kickass, but how refreshing and potentially valuable it might be to see a comic book film dissect something real.

Still, the requisite explosions and shaky morality plays are there, along with the always-fantastic character actor Andy Serkis.

Perhaps director-writer Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station) is simply dipping his toes into the concept of a heavier (or more grounded) direction, and we really hope he gets there with a sequel.

For now, though, Black Panther is still a gorgeous film and the most culturally significant Marvel outing to date—that’s something all on its own.

+ VERY FUNNY; REVERES

COMEDY HISTORY RIGHT

- WE STILL DON’T LIKE CHEVY CHASE

Art had Warhol, jazz had Davis, rock had The Beatles and comedy had National Lampoon magazine. It is, in fact, so very possible to trace the roots of much seminal modern comedy back to the brainchild of Douglas Kenney and Henry Beard, two Harvard students turned utterly brilliant satirist-comedians, that it’s about a great a debt as can be owed.

Murrays, Belushis, Chases, Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, Ghost Busters; Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis, John Hughes, Caddyshack, Animal House—the list could and does go on and on—all began with the magazine and its outlying projects.

Director David Wain (The State, Wet Hot American Summer), arguably one of the funniest people in comedy today, understands this probably better than most and tells the eye-opening tale in the new Netflix original film, A Stupid and Futile Gesture. A sort of hybrid comedy-drama, Gesture examines the founding, rise and ultimate fall of the comedic empire, delving into its print product, its stage shows, radio programming and beyond. Wain somehow encapsulates the era in a completely accessible way, forming a subtle biopic of Kenney (SNL alum Will Forte) along the way and proving that the very funny and too-smart-for-their-own-good are often haunted and tragic, hiding from their demons behind a thin wall of jokes.

National Lampoon is obviously a name known to many, perhaps depressingly so by this point (thanks for nothing, Van Wilder), but how many comedy titans started formidable careers there—and even how Saturday Night Live owes much, if not all, of its iconic status to poaching Kenney’s staff—is both fascinating and heartbreaking.

Forte makes a perfectly fine Kenney, though

Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger (right) is pretty much the best villain Marvel has ever had. Sorry about that, Alfred Molina and Ian McKellan and, um, Cate Blanchett. the legendary Martin Mull as the could-havebeen narrative device steals much of his thunder. Star Wars’ Domhnall Gleeson may be the most surprising performance, however, slowly gaining traction as Henry Beard, a wonderfully hysterical straight-guy counterpoint to Kenney’s absurdities and a charming example of how deadpan sells satire so much better than off-thewall does.

Other famous faces show up as well, from Joel McHale’s not-quite-right Chevy Chase and Natasha Lyonne’s boundary-breaking Anne Beatts to Thomas Lennon’s pitch-perfect asshole performance as the explosively dark and outrageous writer Michael O’Donoghue.

The takeaway, though, may be in A Stupid and Futile Gesture’s willingness to never take itself too seriously, even as it calls out drug abuse, toxic work environments and the inherent pressures of extreme popularity. Still, it’s a riveting watch for comedy fans who fall anywhere on the spectrum and a loving portrayal of the men and women who forever changed the game. (Alex De Vore) Netflix, TV-MA, 111 min.

up feeling diluted. Yes, Bale is the draw here, and we get how the business of movies works, but Studi’s performance as the once-formidable Yellow Hawk could have hit much harder had they given him a few more lines or some definitive moment. We’re honestly left to believe that Bale’s character just kind of comes to release his hatred toward Indigenous people by the end with very little input from Yellow Hawk, other than a thoughtful word here or there. Seriously, though, one solid monologue from Studi could have completely turned this thing around.

Which isn’t to say it’s all bad. Breaking Bad alum Jesse Plemons comes in with a solid supporting role, and Ben Foster (Hell or High Water) shows up briefly as an unexpected villainous type who does have an interesting point about who ought cast the first stone. Even Pike’s ultimate badass moment makes some otherwise bizarre missteps with her character totally worth it. Sad, though, that the narrative skews more toward the white folk, even if they’re presented as monsters more often than not—but we certainly won’t say our perspective on a number of things didn’t shift.

+ GORGEOUS; NEW MEXICO! - GIVE US MORE STUDI!

At about the 10th scene that finds its principal cast gathered around a campfire silently distrustful of one another, it starts to feel like Hostiles, the new Western from Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper, could have focused more effort elsewhere.

It is late-1800s New Mexico; a post-Wounded Knee, post-Little Big Horn world where the white settlers simply take whatever land they want and the Indigenous people are understandably (like, 100 percent understandably) pissed.

But when aging US Army Captain Joe Blocker (Christian Bale) is forced to free and transport a dying Native prisoner named Chief Yellow Hawk (hometown hero Wes Studi) to Montana so he can die of cancer in peace and among his people, the divisions between mankind slowly fade and everyone involved learns valuable lessons—or dies trying.

Along for the ride are various other soldiers and Yellow Hawk’s family, plus the recently widowed and childless Rosalie Quaid (Rosamund Pike), whose family was cut down by Natives not of Yellow Hawk’s ilk. Every step of the way is rife with further terror, and every mile gained seems to present new obstacles; from racial tensions and violent fur trappers to ruthless fellow soldiers and the unforgiving elements.

Hostiles is an absolutely gorgeous view of New Mexico and the hardscrabble way of life during the era, but when it comes right down to it, the bigger picture it tries to present winds

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of February 28th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): On September 1, 1666, a London baker named Thomas Farriner didn’t take proper precautions to douse the fire in his oven before he went to sleep. Consequences were serious. The conflagration that ignited in his little shop burned down large parts of the city. Three hundred twenty years later, a group of bakers gathered at the original site to offer a ritual atonement. “It’s never too late to apologize,” said one official, acknowledging the tardiness of the gesture. In that spirit, Aries, I invite you to finally dissolve a clump of guilt you’ve been carrying… or express gratitude that you should have delivered long ago… or resolve a messy ending that still bothers you… or transform your relationship with an old wound… or all of the above.

and create more intimacy. But in order to take full advantage, you’ll have to be brave and candid and unshielded.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Committee to Fanatically Promote Taurus’s Success is pleased to see that you’re not waiting politely for your next turn. You have come to the brilliant realization that what used to be your fair share is no longer sufficient. You intuitively sense that you have a cosmic mandate to skip a few steps—to ask for more and better and faster results. As a reward for this outbreak of shrewd and well-deserved self-love, and in recognition of the blessings that are currently showering down on your astrological House of Noble Greed, you are hereby granted three weeks’ worth of extra service, free bonuses, special treatment, and abundant slack.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): No one can be somewhat pregnant. You either are or you’re not. But from a metaphorical perspective, your current state is a close approximation to that impossible condition. Are you or are you not going to commit yourself to birthing a new creation? Decide soon, please. Opt for one or the other resolution; don’t remain in the gray area. And there’s more to consider. You are indulging in excessive inbetweenness in other areas of your life, as well. You’re almost brave and sort of free and semi-faithful. My advice about these halfway states is the same: Either go all the way or else stop pretending you might.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming weeks, you could reach several odd personal bests. For instance, your ability to distinguish between flowery bullshit and inventive truth-telling will be at a peak. Your “imperfections” will be more interesting and forgivable than usual, and might even work to your advantage, as well. I suspect you’ll also have an adorable inclination to accomplish the half-right thing when it’s impossible to do the perfectly right thing. Finally, all the astrological omens suggest that you will have a tricky power to capitalize on lucky lapses.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): French philosopher Blaise Pascal said, “If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.” American author Henry David Thoreau declared, “There is no remedy for love but to love more.” I would hesitate to offer these two formulations in the horoscope of any other sign but yours, Scorpio.

And I would even hesitate to offer them to you at any other time besides right now. But I feel that you currently have the strength of character and fertile willpower necessary to make righteous use of such stringently medicinal magic. So please proceed with my agenda for you, which is to become the Smartest, Feistiest, Most Resourceful Lover Who Has Ever Lived.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The state of Kansas has over 6,000 ghost towns—places where people once lived, but then abandoned. Daniel C. Fitzgerald has written six books documenting these places. He’s an expert on researching what remains of the past and drawing conclusions based on the old evidence. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you consider doing comparable research into your own lost and halfforgotten history. You can generate vigorous psychic energy by communing with origins and memories.

Remembering who you used to be will clarify your future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s not quite a revolution that’s in the works. But it is a sprightly evolution.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Appalachian Trail is Accelerating developments may test your ability to adjust a 2,200-mile path that runs through the eastern gracefully. Quickly-shifting story lines will ask you to be United States. Hikers can wind their way through for- resilient and flexible.

2018. On the other hand, Pisces, please don’t try to VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “You can’t find intimacy— you can’t find home—when you’re always hiding behind masks,” says Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Junot Díaz.

“Intimacy requires a certain level of vulnerability. It requires a certain level of you exposing your fragmented, contradictory self to someone else. You running the risk of having your core self rejected and hurt and misunderstood.” I can’t imagine any better advice to offer you as you navigate your way through the next seven weeks, Virgo. You will have a wildly fertile opportunity to find

learn the same lessons you learned in 2007 and 2001.

Don’t get snagged in identical traps or sucked into similar riddles or obsessed with comparable illusions. On the other other hand, it might help for you to recall the detours you had to take back then, since you may thereby figure out how to avoid having to repeat boring old experiences that you don’t need to repeat.
