Back in the day I used to enjoy latenight ruminations on subjects such as this. That is, until local (and late) artist Max Friedenberg delivered the proverbial mic drop, when he answered the question thusly: “If you frame it and ask people to look at it, it’s art.”

Meow Wolf is actually marketing to an audience that isn’t wealthy, white, retired, “cultured” people, but the entire community, and if you ask me, that’s more important than putting up another conventional art gallery with art pieces most real residents of Santa Fe are never able to afford.

RIMA KRISST FOR FLY SANTA FE

LETTERS “Summary of peer-reviewed research: Fuel reduction is not useful in preventing wildfires and in fact causes wildfires to be worse by opening the forest floor to wind and dryness.” ...

We need more gadflies like ... Arthur Firstenberg and a lot less taxpayer-financed destroyers of nature. through a lot of fanciful subjectivity and—much to the chagrin of late-night art school conversationalists everywhere— cuts the potential discussion time significantly.

Yes, Meow Wolf is art, by any definition. The real question Killelea’s panel of malcontents are circling, then, isn’t “Is it art?” But—is it fine art?

It depends, of course, on how you define ‘fine’. Artist Tim Reed, the most vocal critic in the article, offers this: “Fine art is one of the most important tools we have to healing in a troubled society.”

Which of course, begs the question— who’s doing the healing, who’s getting healed, and how? … Giving hard-working people a place to congregate and contemplate the fantastical, the modern day mythological, … might. …

Personally, I prefer the warmer and more inclusive definitions of “fine.”

Community and story are very fine things. … And if an art space can provide a place for families to come together in wonder and imagine what is possible, in a way that grows love in our community, then that is very fine indeed.

ASK THE RESIDENTS The city and county government’s lack of representing their constituency outside of the airport boundaries is deplorable. In the SFR article, I am surprised the journalist who wrote the story did not interview any of the local people who resided next door to the airport about their input relating to quality of life, public safety, flight path restrictions, airport operations, and noise abatement concerns. Since the early ’80s and afterwards, the city and county have ignored our concerns and eventually, we will have to rise once again, resist, object, and denounced future city/county plans for any type of airport expansion and projects at this location. By the way, who cares on what the passengers see when they pass by the old auto junkyards as well as smelling the chit coming downwind from the WWTF. Here in La Cieneguilla, we have to see and smell this chit every day and what has the city and county governments accomplished in addressing the land-use issues for our community south of the city and county limits?

2017 Is the Best Time to Go Solar

FIVE REASONS YOU SHOULD MAKE THE SWITCH TODAY Consumer Reports — one of the nation’s most trusted personal finance publications — offered a bold statement in a recent article: “There has probably never been a better time to switch to solar.” From tech improvements to environmental benefits to tax incentives, there are so many reasons why this is true. People are catching on: America has been averaging one new residential solar installation every 100 seconds. Here are five reasons to act now and install home solar: 1. This is the moment to take advantage of falling solar costs.

Solar installation costs have fallen dramatically — to half of what they were in 2008 and 100 times less than what they were back in 1978. Still, as Consumer Reports notes, this is the time to go solar, rather than waiting on the sidelines for further price reductions: many of the recent price cuts have been “soft costs,” including labor costs that are unlikely to decline much further. You can have confidence installing solar today.

2. The 30% federal tax credit scales down starting in 2019. The federal government is still offering excellent incentives to go solar — but you must act now. In the coming years, tax credits will scale down to 26 percent and then to 22 percent. In addition to tax breaks, there are other excellent options including low-interest financing that are available now.

3. New Mexico’s “Net Metering” law makes solar a smart investment. Through “net metering,” New Mexico residents can generate their own power and get credit for what they provide to the grid for others to use. This law — in effect now — makes solar extraordinarily cost-effective.

4. Solar technologies and installation processes are better than ever. As the solar industry has grown and matured, customer satisfaction has reached impressive heights. Leading firms, including SunPower by Positive Energy Solar, are now able to design and install solar energy systems with minimal impact on your home’s appearance. Power failures are extremely rare, and customers can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a 25-year power and product warranty.

5. This is a crucial moment to help protect clean air and water.

As challenges including water scarcity, air pollution, and carbon emissions intensify, people are looking for opportunities to live sustainably. Going solar is a simple and effective way to do your part. By eliminating the need for polluting and waterconsumptive power plants, solar energy reduces harmful air pollution, saves vital resources, and improves our quality of life. It’s an easy way to be part of the solution.

he ad is, as the governor’s press release says, powerful.

A man lies in his jail cell, unable to rest as he’s haunted by the memory of driving drunk and killing a young woman. “ENDWI” it says across the screen at the end.

“This new ad shows exactly what happens when people make the choice to get behind the wheel drunk,” the June 22 press release quotes Gov. Susana Martinez as saying.

Four days later, when police caught up with a six-time DWI offender who wasn’t reporting for his parole check-ins, another press release noted the arrest “comes on the heels of the Governor unveiling a new hard-hitting ad to end DWI.” In the past three years, the New Mexico Department of Transportation has paid more than $4.7 million to RK Venture, the ad agency responsible for the ENDWI campaign and other state work.

That figure is not a telltale sign of overspending or government waste; by many accounts, the campaign is among the more successful efforts of the governor’s time in office. Rather, it’s a clear indication that there’s value to advertising, and the Martinez administration believes it.

So imagine the surprise when local anti-DWI programs in counties across the state learned late last year they could no longer use millions in state grant funds to pay for promotional items or advertising.

Times were tight, the DWI Grant Council informed some program managers in November. The six-member panel is appointed by the governor and doles out funding that comes from the excise tax on beer, wine and liquor sales. Effective with the council’s Dec. 15 vote, all spending by counties on advertising was banned until further notice.

According to minutes from the meeting, the council’s chairman, former Clovis police chief Caleb Chandler, told the few people in the room that because of budget cuts, the council “needed to set priorities that have a direct impact on DWI offenders, such as probation and law enforcement.”

By May, counties were pushing back.

Kelly Ford, the DWI program coordinator for Lea County, sits on the council and raised the issue. According to the minutes for the council’s May 2 meeting, Ford told her fellow councilors, “Much of our advertising is conditioning and being successful in changing behavior. If we don’t advertise our services, they will not be utilized. If they are not utilized, the staff members we employ will be sitting in the gallery. Counties cannot afford the costs of advertising.”

Martinez spokeswoman Emilee Cantrell offered little explanation in an email response to questions from SFR. “We always expect DWI funds to be spent responsibly on effective tools that help fight drunk driving in New Mexico. The administration will continue working with partners like law enforcement, local leaders, community groups and others to fight to get drunk drivers off our roads,” she wrote.

In Santa Fe County, which is relatively lucky, the DWI prevention program has shuffled its funding sources to keep up its advertising.

“There’s a compliance fee that we charge offenders, so we’re going to use that to offset what we lost from the state,” Lupe Sanchez, Santa Fe County’s program coordinator, tells SFR. While it’s close to maintaining the level of advertising and promotion—which includes radio ads, bus wraps and drink coasters given to bars—the contract expires next March, three months before the end of the budget year.

In the May 2 DWI Grant Council meeting, county after county told commissioners about the impact of advertising cuts, including how advertising saturation patrols or DWI checkpoints increases the perception that drunken drivers will get caught and keeps them off the road. Billboards and sign rentals can often be reused, said the Roosevelt County program coordinator, who called advertising “vital.”

Sick Bars Programs to enroll New Mexico’s recently released inmates in Medicaid face an uncertain future

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

D

erek Malkhassian of Albuquerque now owns a dog, a delight once rendered impossible by his severe, allergy-induced asthma. But since he enrolled in Medicaid last year, a regimen of allergy shots and surgery for a deviated septum have helped him to breathe normally, even when Willow, a Yorkie, is around.

Medicaid also covers visits to a psychiatrist, part of his conditions of release after serving a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence that ended in September. Without the coverage, he estimates he’d have paid north of $12,000 last year for all the care he’s received.

Staff at the Los Lunas prison, where Malkhassian was incarcerated on a drug charge, helped him enroll in Medicaid.

With an income less than 138 percent of the federal poverty limit, he qualified for the program after the Affordable Care Act expanded eligibility requirements.

He wasn’t insured at the time of his sentencing.

“I can’t imagine being required to have that sort of treatment if they weren’t willing to pay for it,” he tells SFR. “Like, if I had to foot the bill, all the things I’d have to pay for as part of my conditions.”

Malkhassian, who now works a construction job with limited benefits, fears he’d be more likely to renege on his conditions of release and possibly end up back in prison if he had to pay for care out of pocket.

With the US Senate mulling legislation that could change federal funding for states’ Medicaid programs, the future of health care for New Mexico’s newly freed is less than certain. Under the proposed change, federal dollars in the form of block grants would give state governments more latitude in choosing how to spend funds, but the money would no longer be replenished by the feds on an ongoing basis. Advocates worry that a state program to help people like Malkhassian would slip down the priority list.

New Mexico legislation passed in 2015 changed the way incarcerated people retain health care before serving their sentences and after being released. The law bars people enrolled in Medicaid from being kicked off the program during their incarceration, which is what happened before. Instead, their enrollment is merely suspended if they’re incarcerated longer than 30 days. Prisons then notify the state when a Medicaid-eligible person is approaching release date. That’s when either enrollment or re-enrollment kicks in.

New Mexico’s adult and juvenile prisons participate in the effort as well as five county jails, including those in Santa Fe and Bernalillo counties. As of last October,

As of last October, there were more than 4,000 inmate applications for Medicaid enrollment filed and over 3,000 requests for reinstatement of benefits postrelease statewide.

there were more than 4,000 inmate applications for Medicaid enrollment filed and over 3,000 requests for reinstatement of benefits post-release statewide.

Without the financial assistance, “it makes it harder to stay out of jail,” state Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, who sponsored the rule change, tells SFR by phone. “People recognized that this is going to save money. … It would reduce the number of people who commit crimes again because they have mental or substance issues and didn’t get treatment.”

While it’s too early to know whether the program has had an impact on recidivism, other analyses support Ortiz y Pino’s claim. A 2004 study conducted by the Department of Justice examining recidivism among county jail populations in Florida and Illinois found that inmates with severe mental illness who had Medicaid upon release stayed out of jail longer. Several other states have implemented similar programs to New Mexico’s since the passage of the Affordable Care Act. People passing through the Santa Fe County Correctional Facility are commonly afflicted with post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse issues. Many also have severe mental illness, diabetes, hepatitis C and other ailments of the poor, according to Dr. Merritt Ayad, who launched and manages the re-entry program at the jail. Because people cycle through county jails at a more rapid clip than state prisons, Ayad hired a person last month to track down inmates who were released before his staff had a chance to enroll them.

“For people who were enrolled [in Medicaid], we’re going to see if they went to services, and if they didn’t, we’ll offer to connect them to services, and we’ll track whether they complete their programs,” Ayad tells SFR. He says the detention center plans to create a database not only tracking which former inmates actually signed up for Medicaid but also whether they received treatment.

The Santa Fe jail’s program is funded with state and federal dollars over three years, Ayad says. If it is shown to reduce recidivism, renewed funding will be more likely.

Still, a lot is dependent on what happens to health care in DC. About twothirds of Medicaid expenditures in the state currently pay for elderly and child care. Adult primary care and, to a smaller extent, behavioral care represent smaller shares.

If Medicaid funding is changed to a block grant, says Ortiz y Pino, he fears “behavioral health would get the short end of the stick under those scenarios. … If the total amount gets a cap, and the number of elderly needs go up, and adult needs go up, then mental health cuts will maybe be 8 percent, then 6, and before you know it we’ll have 2 percent for mental health.”

For all the spectacle over health care in the US Congress, the stakes are clear for Malkhassian.

“I haven’t researched much about Trumpcare,” he says, “but I don’t know what I would do without my current health care. Since I’ve been out I’ve been in the best health I’ve been in my life.”

cience fiction lovers will probably recognize the galactic tribunal trope from any number of graphic novels, books or films. Santa Fe Institute President David Krakauer introduces the notion of cosmic judges rendering decrees on humanity as part of a thought experiment: “I’m so interested in the question, ‘What can we be proud of?’” Krakauer says during an interview in his office at the institute where, on this June afternoon, smoke from fires burning in the national forest semi-obscures the vast city and mountain views from Hyde Park Road. Stacks of books crowd most available surfaces—George Johnson’s Fire in the Mind and The Book of Trees by Manuel Lima catch the eye; a model rocket sits atop Krakauer’s desk.

“So, at the galactic tribunal, where you’re asked, ‘What has your species contributed to the universe?’ you could stand up and say, unequivocally, ‘This was an amazing accomplishment and I could tell anyone on this planet or any other one that I thought this was something that was worthwhile.’”

Questions such as these, which require considering humanity and life on Earth from an interplanetary perspective, drive SFI’s new InterPlanetary Project. It launches July 18 with a panel discussion between scientists, writers,

MINESH BACRANIA FOR THE SANTA FE INSTITUTE

Out of this Santa Fe Institute President David Krakauer wants to know what Earthlings will say at a “galactic tribunal.”

artists and thinkers whose work all revolves in various ways around humanity’s future—in space and otherwise.

InterPlanetary builds on the type of complex, interwoven, boundary-pushing research SFI is known for locally and internationally.

Santa Fe Institute’s main partner in the endeavor, Creative Santa Fe, sees InterPlanetary as another joint project aimed at thinking through problems with both local and global significance.

“Our mission is to help people think creatively and outside conventional bar-

riers,” says Executive Director Cyndi Conn, “and to look at difficult complex issues using a visionary approach that combines arts, technology, innovation.”

The project also comes at a time during which interest and money for space science is harkening a new golden age for galactic exploration. Among other developments, NASA ushered in a new class of astronauts from a record number of applicants, scientist Stephen Hawking proclaimed humans only have 100 years left on Earth, and SpaceX technologist Elon Musk published detailed plans for resettlement on Mars.

It’s a fitting context, in other words, for InterPlanetary’s first panel, for which the starting question is: “What will it take to become an interplanetary civilization?”

That mind-bender encompasses many concerns—from preparing humans for space travel to the hard science and technology required to make the journey, along with aspirational initiatives centered on how we might communicate with other life in the universe (should it exist). Last but not least: How can humanity tackle the problems of today to prepare for its future?

As a child, Kate Greene always wanted to travel to other planets. She loved both science and stories. “When you’re a kid and you think about other planets, it’s fertile ground. I loved imagining other planets because the thing I liked the most about science was getting little bits of information here and there and weaving

them together into a whole story.”

As an adult, Greene ended up on a 2013 NASA-sponsored simulated trip to the Red Planet by luck. She was scrolling through Twitter and spotted a link to an NPR article on why astronauts crave Tabasco sauce. NASA was set to begin studies on astronauts’ food habits and, at the end of the article, there was a call to apply to be one of six crew members on the HI-SEAS project—the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation, a Mars simulation research project that takes place on Hawaii’s Big Island, approximately 8,200 feet above sea level on the Mauna Loa side of the saddle area.

“My palms started to get sweaty, my heart started racing,” Greene says. “I had a real physical response to living out this kid dream, so I applied.”

Greene applied and was accepted into the program—not by luck. Her background includes work as both a laser physicist and a science journalist. She spent her four months on the project as a crew member and crew writer, contributing dispatches for Discover magazine, while also conducting a separate sleep study for NASA. Day to day, she says, the experience didn’t necessarily “feel like living on Mars, and I don’t know if living on Mars day to day would feel like living on Mars.” A fair amount of her time and, presumably, a fair amount of time for future astronauts who would actually live on Mars, was spent indoors in a habitat that included living, kitchen, work and exercise space.

ABOVE: HI-SEAS is a Martian simulation on the slopes of the Mauna Loa volcano on the island of Hawaii.

BELOW: Writer Kate Greene spent four months as a crew member on the first HI-SEAS simulation of astronaut life on Mars.

The project incorporates 20-minute communication delays with the outside world and no real-time conversations to further simulate an off-world experience.

“For me, it felt more like graduate school, in a way,” Greene says. “I studied semi-conductor lasers and spent a lot of time in the basement laser lab. We spent all day trying to figure out experiments.

That’s what it felt like in a lot of ways: working together, solving problems.”

There were times, when the crew would don their spacesuits and walk around in a landscape that is red and

rocky and “looked a lot like Mars on the outside,” during which Greene could imagine she was exploring another planet. The experience also yielded other rewards, such as contributing research to help future astronauts, and collaboration with new people. Moreover, Greene, who will appear on the SFI panel, says the experience changed her work as a writer, and set her on a new path of integrating her science-writing background with more personal narratives.

Of course, not everyone wants to travel to outer space, or even simulated outer space. But to scientist Lindy Elkins-Tanton, just the prospect of human space travel sparks “intrinsic excitement” that “seems to be deeply rooted in being human.”

Director of Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration, Elkins-Tanton’s own research focuses on the processes involved with the formation of terrestrial planets. She has received numerous awards and accolades as both a scientist and a teacher.

In January, NASA announced ElkinsTanton’s Psyche Mission had been chosen as one of the government space office’s Discovery Program projects.

Psyche is a metallic asteroid researchers believe is the core of what would have been a planet in the earliest days of the solar system, and which may provide information about the Earth’s own core.

The project spacecraft is scheduled to leave Earth in 2022, reach Psyche in 2026 and spend close to two years mapping and studying the asteroid, which orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. “Psyche is probably the only way human kind will visit or measure a core directly,” Elkins-Tanton says.

Elkins-Tanton, like Krakauer, staunchly believes that inspiring work— scientifically or otherwise—comes through collaborations across disciplines.

Her own school at ASU is somewhat unusual in science academia in that its faculty, students and research projects work across a spectrum of interests: from cosmology to earth science to technology. Last year, ASU’s president asked Elkins-Tanton to lead an initiative across all the schools for an interplanetary initiative that has, she says, synergy with SFI’s project.

“I think what we are doing is really important,” she says. “Humans are going to have a space future. Up until now, our space future has been worked on by national organizations like NASA or individual technologists like Elon Musk. We need all the human disciplines to come to bear if we’re going to have a human space future. We need the sociologists and the psychologists and the artists and the theater people to really approach what our society is going to be like as we go into space.”

As such, Elkins-Tanton says, the initiative ties into what she calls her primary mission. “What we do at ASU that is so complementary to the Santa Fe Institute is we’re also trying to create the future of education. We’re trying to teach people process and not just content, to prepare them to answer questions we can’t anticipate from where we are right now that are going to need to be answered in the future.”

One of those questions, as ElkinsTanton perceives it, is what impact will the discovery of life elsewhere— intelligent or otherwise—have on the human psyche. She references 19th-century geologist Charles Lyell, whose work influenced Charles Darwin’s human evolutionary theory.

Lyell, she notes, “was the first to really clearly explicate and lay out for public consumption the proof that the earth must be very, very old and that there were these reoccurring natural processes that just operated over such a long time scale that it was hard for us to envision what it was.”

This notion, she says, “caused a great crisis of faith. It caused a crisis in meaning. There was a sense that if things weren’t laid out by divine providence and we were just subject to this pitiless occurrence of natural phenomena, then we had no meaning.” Elkins-Tanton wonders if the discovery of life elsewhere—be it uni- or multicellular—“will give people that feeling that we’ve lost meaning or the feeling that we’ve gained meaning again.”

Regardless, the prospect that we are not alone in the universe is fertile ground for scientists, artists and artist-scientists such as Dario Robleto.

Robleto has spent much of his career thinking on the message people of earth might want to convey about themselves.

A formative moment happened when he was 6 or 7 years old and first encountered the Golden Record, placed on the spaceships Voyager 1 and 2 in 1977 containing images, sounds and messages meant to capture life on earth.

Robleto had stayed home sick from school and dialed a 1-800 number NASA had set up for listening to sounds of space as the Voyager made its first approach to Saturn. Robleto called in expecting to hear aliens, and instead heard the Golden Record. “I didn’t understand that at all. … I was so disappointed. It just made no sense to me why NASA would send this into space. I had no idea I was listening to the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.”

He’s referring to Ann Druyan’s brain waves, recorded shortly after she and Carl Sagan, with whom she collaborated on the Golden Record, admitted they were falling in love. Robleto says in many ways his work has been directed by Druyan’s actions. “She essentially snuck love on board,” he says.

Two years ago, Robleto—who has ended up working with Druyan—became the artistic consultant for the “Breakthrough Message” project, one of Yuri and Julia Milner’s Breakthrough Initiatives founded in 2015 “to explore the Universe, seek scientific evidence of life beyond Earth, and encourage public debate from a planetary perspective,” according to the project’s website. “Breakthrough Message” is a $1 million competition to design a message that comprehensibly captures humanity and life on Earth for another civilization.

Robleto also serves as artist in residence at the SETI Institute. The work at SETI—the Search for Extraterrestrial

Intelligence—includes a vast array of research and development projects in the service of finding signs from advanced civilizations in the galaxy.

Based in Houston, Robleto has shown work in both solo and group shows across the country, and has been recognized with a variety of awards, fellowships and residencies. As an artist, Robleto’s practice spans mediums: He works in sculpture, paper, print and more. As an artist with both a background and passion for science (he was a biology major before switching to the arts), he prefers CONTINUED ON PAGE 17 THOMAS R DUBROCK

MINESH BACRANIA FOR SFI

Return to Krakauer’s original thought experiment: What has humanity done for which it can be proud? Krakauer believes that while specific citations would vary from person to person, most would likely name artistic or scientific achievements rather than, say, “human decency,” although he believes the latter also would be legitimate.

“I’m very sensitive to this idea that interplanetary concept would be considered irresponsible and that we’re running away from the problems we’re facing now,” Krakauer says. “It’s the opposite. Friends have asked me, ‘Don’t we have real problems with income inequality and spoiling the environment?’” Yes, Krakauer says.

And “if we really want to settle a colony on Mars, we sure as hell better understand how to create a social system that doesn’t fragment within a year, we better understand planetary cycles and we better understand how we’re going to grow food in an inhospitable environment.”

Re-contextualizing some of these challenges within enlivened discussions is a way of “injecting playfulness … and hedonism” into serious topics.

Changing the lens through which we view our civilization and its workings might be one way (if an overly simplistic one) of considering panelist, former SFI

If we really want to settle a colony on Mars, we sure as hell better understand how to create a social system that doesn’t fragment within a year.

-David Krakauer, Santa Fe Institute

The question ties into Krakauer’s own background as a mathematic biologist, and one of the many thoughts that prompted the InterPlanetary Project as a whole. We are living in a time in history, he argues, filled with “incredibly positive things,” among them the ability to connect with other people all over the world, progress in our understanding of the environment, “the second great space race” and many other accomplishments.

These signs of progress are occurring alongside other signs of the worst time in history, what Krakauer characterizes as a “stupidity pandemic, and the deepest political distrust and the worst kinds of prejudice.” Interdisciplinary work, such as the InterPlanetary Project, provides an opportunity to consider how and why such darkness and light can occur together—and perhaps yield some solutions.

MINESH BACRANIA FOR THE SANTA FE INSTITUTE

the term “trans-disciplinary” because it fully encompasses the degree to which his projects are intertwined rather than merely referential to scientific issues and phenomena.

“When I made the switch from science to becoming an artist, it never occurred to me to not bring that background with me,” Robleto says. “I find the tension between them fascinating. … The common seed is both originate from the quest to increase the sensitivity of our observations.”

Complexity science, which guides SFI’s work, particularly interests Robleto.

“I’m really drawn to the issue of scale in complexity science, how scaling up and down reveals a different set of information that wasn’t apparent from the previous scale. That’s not unlike what artists do.”

The question of scale connects with another driving concern Robleto brings to his work and that has been a research focus at SFI: altruism.

“Competition and destruction,” Robleto says, “dominates so much of all our topics.” His personal quest “is poetic and scientific proof we can be cooperative at some fundamental level,” which makes as much evolutionary sense as the belief that competition drives human existence.

After all, over the span of time, “the only civilizations that will survive are ones who figure out how not to destroy ourselves. If we ever found another civilization, just the fact that they’re there, that means altruism won out.”

Theoretical physicist Geoffrey West was named one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World” in 2006 by Time magazine, among other accolades.

The Santa Fe Institute’s InterPlanetary Project will help unfold the mysteries of the universe.

president and distinguished professor Geoffrey West’s work. For much of his career, West, a theoretical physicist, focused on fundamental questions of physics: the cosmological implications of the evolution of the universe, the nature of dark matter.

For the last 15 years, his research associated with the Santa Fe Institute has been looking, from a physicist’s perspective, which he describes as “quantitative, analytic, computable and therefore predictable,” at “the phenomena that go on on this planet. In particular, the questions to do with the generic principles giving rise to life and laws of life, the regularity that underlies the extraordinary complexity of life around us, social life, the socioeconomic life, the life we’ve created on this planet.” (West’s most recent book, released in May, is titled Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability, and the Pace of Life in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and Companies).

Just as Krakauer and Elkins-Tanton both emphasize the need for work across disciplines, West points to the way in which an interplanetary viewpoint can create a more holistic picture “in which everything is recognizing that everything is interacting with everything else and everything is dependent on everything else.”

If “changing the world one planet at a time,” as Krakauer describes the project’s aims, sounds overly ambitious—that, too, is part of the point. “Cynicism is boring,” Krakauer says. “Gloom has its own aesthetic appeal … and optimism can be a little boring at times, but it is an optimistic project in that it says ingenuity is unbounded and understanding in many ways is unbounded and there’s so much more to know.”

his is a sculpture of San Antonio de Valero, called the Alamo. It is not a model but rather an impression of the feel of the structure with the age and history that it has gone through. The actual mission was founded in 1718. The building itself was started in 1744, but the inscription above the door says 1758 AVR—presumably Ave Maria Regina, “Hail Mary, Queen (of Heaven).” It is most famous and revered for the heroic but fatal stand of 1836 against General Santa Anna and his troops for independence from Mexico. The church fell into ruins, and after Texas joined the Union in 1845, the Army Quartermaster Corp rebuilt the façade and added the profile of the now famous parapet in 1850.

The drawer assemblage containing images and artifacts that tell a story of the Alamo itself is by PJ Cardinale, my wife and fellow artist since 1966.

Good news, fans of intricate and baffling guitar styles—Roberto Capocchi and Mohit Dubey are here with a tour of fingerboard excellence.

Capocchi is, of course, a longtime local favorite who draws from classical and international styles with beautiful aplomb. Dubey, meanwhile, is the young upstart, a natural talent whose age belies his skill in a way that would be almost maddening if he weren’t so skilled.

Gorgeous, we think, is the right word to use for both players—and if baroque, Arabic and classical are your styles (and that’s only naming a few), this is your don’t-miss show this week.

We’re All Mad Here Practice your mini-golf swing with the Cheshire Cat Tumble down the rabbit hole and join the May Center for Learning over two days of mini-golf in the Railyard Park.

This week, students transform the park from Southwest garden-scape to magical wonderland golf course inspired by Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland. Golfers can enjoy Wonderland references with themed greens like “Through the Looking Glass,” “The Queen’s Croquet Match” and, of course, “The Cheshire Cat.” The 10-hole course opens on Friday afternoon at the Bring-the-Kids Gala with mini-golf, food, drinks, prizes and more. The event also doubles as a fundraiser for the May Center, with ticket sales going towards the center’s satellite tutoring programs around Santa Fe. For you avid golf fans out there, keep the game going with Happy Gilmore at 8 pm, which plays as part of the Railyard Park Summer Movie Series. Dinner, a movie, and mini-golf? What more could you want on a summer evening?

The festivities continue on Saturday morning when the course is free and open to the public. And, if themed minigolf isn’t enough for you, enjoy a little theater with your game. May Center students are scheduled to entertain golfers with performed excerpts from Alice in Wonderland in costume—it wouldn’t be

a party without costumes, right? And if that still isn’t enough for you, maybe a prize would change your mind? Whether you’re a champ or a chump on the golf green, all players have a chance to win with prizes like lowest score and “Maddest Golf Hat.” (Sounds like you should come dressed for tea, too.)

Don’t fret if you don’t have all the trappings of a mini-golf superstar, though, because the May Center’s got you covered. “This is the golf event different for the City Different created by students different,” May Center Executive Director Amy Miller tells SFR. “They’ve used their imaginations and ingenuity to craft something that is new and inclusive, rather than exclusive; our event motto is ‘No Clubs? No Cart? No Course? No Problem!’” So bring your kids and your A-game to the Railyard and take a trip through Wonderland. It’s sure to be a mad time.

James Clark (left) and Branden James: So maybe they’re not that sad, but you’ve gots to love the cello.

You’ve just gots to.

Branden & James: Sad Bastards

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

B

randen & James is actually two people: Branden James and James Clark. The pair, hailing from Los Angeles and Australia, respectively, have performed together for two years, been in a relationship for three and steadily formed a signature sound (mostly through their sporadic residencies at Vanessie) that has allowed them to tour the world with a self-described “Bach-toBeiber” style. Obviously, I had to meet ’em and throw some Qs their way.

SFR: Branden, what do you do?

Branden James: I’m a singer.

Just a singer?

BJ: Yeah. Well, and I play piano.

James, how do you fit in?

James Clark: I’m a cellist, I play piano, too, and I’m like Pumba and do backup vocals.

Pumba, like, from The Lion King?

JC: Yeah.

OK, so how did you get involved?

JC: We’re romantic partners, and we met online. I was getting my masters, he was doing freelance music; we did a gig together, and people liked the cello and the voice together.

Your masters in what?

JC: Cello performance at Cal State Long Beach.

I’m detecting from your accent that you’re not American.

JC: No. I’m from Austraila. Adelaide.

Branden, covers or originals?

BJ: Covers. We’re definitely more covers-driven. We suck at writing, but we’re trying to write more.

What’s the division of labor like?

BJ: It’s kind of sometimes this ... dual struggle, for lack of a better term. Sometimes it has to do with my voice, sometimes it just goes with what we’re playing or not.

JC: Branden comes up with most of the ideas.

Is it challenging to play together and be together?

JC: We joke about it as being a challenge.

We do spend so much time together.

Luckily, we’re very good friends.

Why/how did you come to Santa Fe? BJ: It was random. I got the job [at Vanessie] on Craigslist and came alone.

I had just moved back to Los Angeles after four years with the Lyric Opera in Chicago and I was kind of in this weird place in my life. I saw the ad on Craigslist, came out alone and people just went crazy for it.

So you’re from LA? BJ: I was born in Anaheim, lived in southern Orange County and got out as soon as I could. I went to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, lived in New York for 10 years, then Chicago. I was trained in opera singing, though I came late at 17.

Gotcha. So. Bach to Beiber?

JC: Yup. We cover all that.

You travel a lot, it seems. Is there a home base?

JC: For the last 18 months we’ve been on the road. We did buy an apartment in Las Vegas and move our stuff out of our Los Angeles storage unit. And now that apartment is our storage unit, but at least it has a kitchen.

Branden, you were on America’s Got Talent. My knee-jerk reaction to that is kind of like, “Ehhhhhh…”

BJ: I’m so grateful for the experience and the opportunities it brought me.

Being able to carry a brand like that really intrigues people, but it’s definitely a little cringey. Being in that reality TV environment was definitely stressful.

How far did you make it?

I made it to the finals.

Can young people get into more classical styles?

JC: Everything is so fused with everything, there are so many mashups of everything—like this Steve Jobs opera [at the Santa Fe Opera] is EDM fused with classical. We fuse Bach with Elton John or Vivaldi with a Disney song; we’re just trying to acknowledge our backgrounds in classical music, but play what we prefer, which is pop, rock and jazz. We do have surprising young people who get really into it; a 17-year-old girl from Albuquerque who cried when we were leaving Santa Fe the last time.

BJ: Yes, and ... you know, our whole sound

20-ish questions with the piano-cello-vocals duo came out of being here in Santa Fe. The repertoire we play is because Santa Feans would request specific songs, and the next night they’d request them again. You get immediate feedback.

Happy music or sad?

JC: Oh, I think we go for sad. The cello is just like that.

So that’s the headline? “Branden & James: Sad Bastards?”

JC: That would be a really great album title. Maybe when we do our originals.

How much longer are you here?

BJ: Through July 21, and then we come back to do a one-night-only thing at the La Casa Sena Cantina on September 9.

JC: We’ll head out to New York for a couple days, and then we do a cruise to Cartagena. We do about 50 percent of our work on cruise lines.

BJ: On the big ships they have these 1,000-seat theaters, which is so interesting, because we play a lot of more intimate shows.

JC: They have great production values.

BJ: But we’ll keep coming back to Santa Fe. We love traveling—we’re going to Cuba later this year—but we keep coming back because the people have endeared themselves to us and so much of our sound comes from right here in this weird, enchanting town.

BRANDEN & JAMES 7 pm Wednesday and Thursday July 12 and 13; 8 pm Friday, Saturday and Tuesday July 14, 15 and 18. Free.

Dreamcastle: Bloom Delicacy Review

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

D

reamcastle is just about the perfect name for the densely layered soundscape songs created by local indie singer-songwriter Jake Trujillo. With his latest, Bloom Delicacy, Trujillo hits lush and ethereal Radioheady melodies peeking out from Jeff Mangum-like autobiographical pieces, though his voice often strays more toward some bizarrely brilliant blend of Tea For the Tillerman-era Cat Stevens meets Thom Yorke croon in its timing and timbre and, charmingly, its imperfections.

Bloom is obviously a bedroom recording, and this works in Trujillo’s favor, allowing him carte blanche to phase from brief moments of synth-pop weirdness and Mazzy Star slowness/brightness to an almost folky, country style, all while maintaining cohesive balance.

These songs are, it would seem, painstakingly arranged just so—and they are beautiful, like the soundtrack to some kind of warm dream.

“I feel my spirit slipping away every night/but every day it will return to me at dawn,” he sings on “Floral Pick,” a love song indeed, but more a ru-

mination on where our thoughts might wander when they’re propelled by someone new. Oddly, it’s reminiscent of Seal’s “Kiss From a Rose”—no joke—but also of Northern California indie act Duster in its tracks-on-tracks big sound.

Trujillo also takes intelligent detours from quiet introspection into synthheavy, major-to-minor chord territories both danceable yet thinkable, a deft

choice that at first seems jarring but ultimately works when he pulls back into his guitar-driven arrangements. The shift from the lo-fi, almost new-wave thump beat of “Last Book, Vol. 2” into “Neon Limes” (arguably one of the more sparse offerings on Bloom) is just plain smart. It’s an intriguing hint, perhaps, at areas Trujillo has yet to fully explore, but ones we hope he will.

Dreamcastle mastermind Jake Trujillo painted the album art for Bloom Delicacy himself.

Bloom isn’t a departure from previous Dreamcastle works such as 2016’s The Fixed Stars per se, but it is a maturation in terms of instrumentation and thematic work—a cleaner overall product and the strongest set of Trujillo tunes we’ve yet to hear. The floral motif insofar as the idea of rebirth, new beginnings and new feelings permeates his lyricism with a message that hits somewhere between a healthy fear (or maybe respect) of the unknown and an almost giddy excitement for the very same.

Album closer “A Delicate Bloom” recalls a pretty, yet subtly dark, classic like “Happiness is a Warm Gun” and makes Bloom worth it all on its own, but as far as albums listened to as a single concept go, this is among the best we’ve heard in ages—local or not. Is it perfect? Hardly. It may, in fact, be under-produced, but one can’t help but feel this was deliberate, which is endearing in the end.

For now, Bloom Delicacy is available digitally (and affordably) through dream-castle.bandcamp.com with the promise of physical copies—complete with artwork painted by Trujillo himself—in the coming weeks. If Dreamcastle maintains its current trajectory, we’d expect bigger and better things than self-released material. Someone in a distro or label position should actually pay close attention to what he’s got going on.

There’s a natural talent for beauty and poetry at play making Bloom Delicacy a must-own, especially with its paltry $9 pricetag. Straight-up—you need this.

men how it’s done!

-Really Angry Gal Is Needing Gays

I’m a gay medical student with a medical fetish, and I can’t even open up to my therapist about this. I think the fetish started when I was young; I was once in the hospital and given a suppository for a fever. Then one time I was given a Fleet enema. I don’t think the “butt stuff” turned me gay, but my fetish may stem from the aspect of being controlled. I grew up in a very conservative religious household.

I’ve never been in a relationship, and I don’t know that I could have one while hiding what turns me on. In my profession, we have to be confident and even sort of “dominant” in our roles as providers, but underneath I’m incredibly submissive. I didn’t go into medicine for this reason. We have very strict professional boundaries and ethical expectations, and I have no problem with that. I expect my job to be very clinical and boring. But outside of work, I feel like my sexual desires need some kind of outlet.

-Dilemma Of Conscience “Someone can have one persona at work and another at home,” said Eric the Red, a Florida nurse and a fellow medical fetishist. “DOC can be confident and dominant at work— his patients need someone confident and dominant to get them through their medical issues—and then find someone to spend his life with who brings out his submissive side and gives him the balance to make him feel like a whole person.”

In other words, DOC, when you do start dating and having relationships, you’re going to want to be open about your kinks. They’re nothing to be ashamed of, and there’s no point in hiding your sexual interests from your future partner(s). You want a sex partner who meets your needs, not one you have to hide your needs from. So long as you keep things professional at work—which shouldn’t be hard, since it’s being the patient and not the doctor that turns you on—you have nothing to feel conflicted about.

“The one practical problem he will encounter is that since he actually knows how to give a physical, he may have less patience with fetishists who are not medical professionals in real life and don’t really know what they are doing,” said Eric. “Over the years, I have trained nonprofessionals who want to play doctor to give semi-realistic physicals, insert and irrigate catheters, use sounds, and otherwise have enough technical expertise to do a medical scene that’s realistic enough that I can enjoy being their patient without screaming, ‘No, that’s not how it’s done!’ He may find himself doing the same.”

The good news?

“DOC won’t have any trouble finding like-minded people,” said Eric. “Medical fetishists are well organized online; just spend a few minutes on Google and he’ll find them.”

As a 56-year-old, 95-percent-straight woman, I’d like to think all y’all gay men can enjoy blowjobs without that dip in the degradation pool straight men always take. Maybe you could gaysex talk some sense into stupid straight men. On PornHub recently, I watched a fearless young woman use a dildo five ways and come at least 10 full symphony times. This new generation of women! Impressive! But then I watched an 18-year-old Russian woman with an equally beautiful black American man.

She sucked away on his dick and swallowed 12 times in five minutes! I kept thinking: She’s gonna get a break now? Maybe a hug? A beer, a joint, a pay raise? Something?!? Nope. She even apologized for spilling some come at one point. Now I’m SAD. It’s the exact same shit I faced when I started in ’73. Gaysex talk some sense into stupid straight boys! Y’all gay men do blowjobs without degradation. Tell straight

There’s nothing inherently demeaning about giving someone a blowjob, and plenty of people—gay, straight, bi, pan, demi, sapio, etc.— give and receive blowjobs without splashing around in the degradation pool.

That said, RAGING, gay men are just as likely as straight men to “dip in the degradation pool” when they’re getting blowjobs— particularly when a blowjob is being filmed.

No need to take my word for it: Head over to the gay aisle at PornHub. You’ll find lots of videos where the guys giving blowjobs are degraded—called names, roughly handled, made to apologize for come spillage—and you’ll be hard-pressed to find one in which the word “cocksucker” isn’t tossed around. But don’t feel bad for all those gay cocksuckers, RAGING: For many gay men, the taunts we feared most in high school become the dirty talk that gets us off in adulthood. As for the video you saw—a Russian interfering with an American erection—there must have been breaks that were edited out (no guy can come 12 times in five minutes), so hugs, beers, and joints may have been made available when the cameras weren’t running.

I have a phone-sex kink, and I got Tinder to explore that. I tell guys it won’t get physical and that I’m interested only in text play and photo swapping. I matched with a cute, kinky guy, and I have been playing with him mostly over text for about two years. The issue is that I found out recently that he’s engaged.

I’m pretty conflicted about this. He says that sex with her is good but vanilla and that she’s unwilling to experiment. He also isn’t comfortable sharing his kinks with her. I understand that some people have a hard time reconciling the dirty shit they want to do in bed with the sweet girl they want to marry, but he seems unwilling to try. Do I cut him off? Is he just doing what he has to do to make an otherwise good relationship work? Is it okay of him if she never finds out and everyone is happy?

-Playing Hurtful Over Text Only?

The odds that your sext buddy’s wife will never find out are slim. Spouses snoop, computers and phones get left open, a dirty message or photo intended for one person (say, you) gets sent to the wrong person (say, her). If you’re not comfortable playing with someone who is deceiving his girlfriend and/ or wife—if you don’t want the incriminating message his wife inevitably finds to be one intended for or from you—you should end this, PHOTO. But it is possible to continue playing/ texting/sexting with a semi-clear conscience: He may be doing what he needs to do to make this relationship work; he’s exploring his kinks without touching another woman; if this is cheating, it’s cheating lite; etc. Whatever you ultimately decide to do, PHOTO, you should encourage this guy to open up to his fiancée about his fantasies and kinks. It’s exhausting to spend your life with someone you have to hide from—exhausting and rarely successful. If he doesn’t want the truth to end his marriage, he needs to tell her the truth now. Engagements are easily called off, marriages less so.

Danny Rubin

International Folk Art Market Santa Fe

COURTESY WAREHOUSE 21

Warehouse 21, the longtime beloved local nonprofit teen arts center, turns 21 years old on Tuesday July 11. It hosts a week’s worth of festivities in a variety of exciting events including a concert, an open house and a special meetand-greet with some big-name entertainment industry folk (7:30 pm Thursday July 13. $12-$21. 1614 Paseo de Peralta, 989-4423). Included in the event are television writer Ron Bloomberg, MacGyver creator Lee Zlotoff and Danny Rubin, the writer of Groundhog Day (both the 1993 Bill Murray movie and the recent Broadway musical). Rubin also served on the very first board of directors for Warehouse 21, so the birthday is near and dear to his heart. We’re pretty big fans of Rubin’s work—in film and with Warehouse 21—and wanted to learn how it’s going for him these days. And it goes a little something like this: (Alex De Vore) Note: An extended version of this interview appears online at SFReporter.com.

What is it that has made you want to be involved with W21?

For me, it was the prefect idea; first of all, just because when [my family] first moved to Santa Fe 25 years ago, it was coming from Los Angeles, and very much wanting to be part of the community in one way or another. At the time, the Teen Art Project, which was pretty much the proto-Warehouse 21, was a project that I heard about at the Center for Contemporary Arts, and I started getting involved with it at that point. And then maybe a year later, when they were looking for a safety net for the program, I jumped on, like, ‘Oh, this is something that chose me.’ It’s something I liked, and it said, ‘Come now.’ And I loved just the idea that it’s sort of a natural connection for teenagers to express themselves and to do so through a variety of media and art.

Can you give us an idea about what you’ll be touching on with this meet-and-greet event?

Whatever anybody wants to talk about. In a kind of interesting way, I feel like I was here all the way from starting the organization to opening the building. And then I left town, and I was gone for eight years. So, for me, from my point of view, this is a chance to rejoin the community and say hello. Whatever anybody wants to ask me about, I’m happy to share tales from my travels.

Was Groundhog Day: The Musical something that you always wanted to do?

Almost immediately. Almost right after the movie came out. I also wasn’t in any hurry to be in the groundhog business. I wanted to do other things and to take my time figuring out how to make it a musical. It was about 10 years after the movie came out that other people started talking about it as well as a good idea, most prominently Stephen Sondheim. I started taking it more seriously, studying up on musicals, figuring out what my role would be, which tuned out to be the writer. Then it was finding the right partners who wanted to do a really rich, exploratory, big reexamination of this story—and music seemed the greatest way to do it, to expand into the characters and bigger emotions. And we were successful, I feel.

Frontier Carnival The Rendezvous makes immortals of those on the margins

W

hen I first taught the art of Kent Monkman at Santa Fe University of Art and Design, the air in the classroom was thick with discomfort. Cavorting cowboys wearing assless chaps romped across vast Bierstadt-esque landscapes with stereotypical Indians by their sides. It was not what we had seen up until that point: triumphant settlers, roving expeditionaries in the vein of Lewis and Clark, and marauding Indians. This was a “Landscape in the Americas” class, and most of what we’d spoken about and critiqued was the inextricable relationship between envisioning pristine landscapes and the aspirations of Manifest Destiny, the fantasies and projections of imperialism cloaked in the beauty of landscape painting.

Fast forward to our class on Monkman, a First Nations artist of Cree descent, who queered the whole template of 19th-century masculinity and landscape, calling out the genre’s own shadowy subconscious. The artist’s alter ego, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, a figure he paints into his scenes and one he also performs as, seemed an apt guide. For Monkman, Miss Chief “travels through time and exists in different periods of art history and history. ... It’s her way of stitching together” the components that “relate to Indigenous people.” Her travels take her across the Americas.

Miss Chief could again be glimpsed in the latest opening of the artist’s work at Peters Projects. In Fate is a Cruel Mis-

tories with Biblical episodes and mythological figures. Indeed, Greek and Roman lore are familiar friends of the American West in Monkman’s visions. Take for instance his version of the three graces. The goddesses of charm, beauty and creativity are, in his hands, three Indigenous women. Also from the looped video: “In Canada, there is a lot of violence against Indigenous women. We have over 1,300 missing and murdered Indigenous women. This paintings really speaks to the power of Indigenous women.”

In the painting “Saturnalia,” based upon the Roman festival of Saturn, you’ll see men in drag wearing laurel wreaths and falling into each other’s arms. "Wedding at Sodom” opens into a scene of a priest presiding over the union of two frontiersmen. “Baptism

By Fire” depicts a story of one man doused in whiskey and lit on fire. It was a story Monkman came across in his archival research. Of the find he thought: “This is a kind of baptism by fire.”

With detail for days, translucent washes of oil to create luminosity, and a whole cast of characters (some of Monkman’s studio assistants stand in as the paintings’ models), the series reminds us that history shouldn’t be beholden to our contemporary social norms regarding divisions in race, class and gender. Indeed, history, according to Monkman, is filled with the whimsy of real people.

tress, a photo series in collaboration with Chris Chapman, the alter ego plays the role of “five female archetypes:” Jezebel, Delilah, Potiphar’s Wife, Judith and Salome. The prints are part of a larger series titled Shame and Prejudice, which deals with the period of Confederation in Canada.

The title series, The Rendezvous, demands the most space, with large-scale canvases that double as stages for capricious revelry. The series is based upon the work of Alfred Jacob Miller, an American painter who traveled west of the Mississippi in 1837. He was one of many artists, including George Catlin, who put brush to canvas in an attempt at capturing Native life before Manifest Destiny would fully realize. This era was marked by Andrew Jackson’s forced removal of the Choctaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Muscogee and Seminole in the Trail of Tears.

Still, as Miller’s paintings show, there were realms far beyond the reach of Jackson and the American government. Traders, trappers and Indigenous peoples came to their own pacts in these frontier spaces, especially in Kent Monkman’s “The Three Graces,” on view at Peters Projects what Miller later described through early September, highlights a lost American tradition. as “a grand carouse,” or the rendezvous. On the confluCOURTESY PETERS PROJECTS

ence of the Green River and Horse Creek in what is now Wyoming, beaver pelts and buffalo robes could be exchanged for rifles, blankets, supplies and alcohol. It was, in other words, a frontier bacchanal that spanned only a few weeks. In a filmed talk from the VOLTA NY invitational fair, which plays on a loop in the exhibit, Monkman says, “People would get married. People would die. People would be born. They would celebrate their religious rituals. They would gamble. They would drink, carouse, trade.”

The event was fertile ground for an artist known to transpose lesser-known his-

Debrianna Mansini is Georgie, a 30-something manic-pixie-dream-girl who falls in love with Jonathan Richards’ Alex, a reserved man some 40 years her senior; their relationship blossoms into a give-and-take full of tenderness and probing. The tight quarters of Teatro Paraguas further draws the audience in to the action, and director Benedetti prefers it this way.

“The smaller the cast, the better the individual actors need to be. There’s no place to hide,” he says. “I was a film producer for almost 20 years, and I like filmic acting. Small detail, very deeply personal, intimate. The small space that we work in has that kind of intimacy that permits us to do it. There’s a lot of personal exposure

anta Fe’s stages are bursting with activity these next few weeks, and it was a feat to narrow the upcoming offerings down to just a page’s worth of previews. In other words: If you’re bored, you simply aren’t even trying.

SFR caught up with Robert Benedetti of the New Mexico Actors Lab, which closes its 2017 season with the light-hearted Heisenberg. For some, the play’s title conjures quite serious notions of theories in quantum physics or Walter White’s sinister alter ego in Breaking Bad, but the show is, in fact, a funny study of the uncertainties of an inter-generational relationship.

Like many excellent productions in Santa Fe this year, the play has a small

involved; you need to be working from a very deep place within yourself.”

He says, by his count, about 60 percent of Pulitzer-winning plays can be performed with four or fewer people. “It’s a form that challenges writers,” he says; “it’s like the difference between writing symphonies and writing chamber music.

There are special skills involved in smallcast writing. … Being able to fashion an entire story and give it momentum and a satisfying dramatic shape with only three or four voices is a tremendous challenge.”

Getting Heisenberg, by the way, was a feat; it is fresh off Broadway and it was tough to secure the rights. Benedetti says he was able to finally acquire permission to put it on “by just bothering the rights-holders a lot.” We see yet again that persistence has paid off, both for Georgie courting Alex and Benedetti courting his script.

nother production going up in the next couple weeks is perhaps not theater as we are used to it, but it is certainly a theatrical production. Local singer Nacha Mendez is best known around town for buttery vocals and deft guitar when she performs Latin tunes over tapas. Last autumn, however, a serious illness had her in the hospital and confined to bed to recover, and the prolific performer was forced to slow her roll for a few months. As would be expected from an artist, a new project came out of it.

Love Letter to Frida is the end result of Mendez’ musings on Frida Kahlo, famed Mexican painter. Kahlo herself embodies the complex nature of femininity: She was formidable in her own right, but her happiness, or lack thereof, seemed to depend greatly on her relationships with others. She represented the paradox of the modern woman, which calls for both prostration to the world and the ability to be strong when in isolation. She represented intense love, and she represented loneliness.

To explore modern relationships with Kahlo, who died in 1954, Mendez commissioned 15 letters from women around the world. The requirements were loose—a love letter to Kahlo—and the results are wide-ranging. Many approach Kahlo through her work, but some explore her on a more personal level, or her fraught relationship with her husband Diego Rivera.

Local musician Nacha Mendez commissioned 15 missives to be read to music in Love Letter to Frida on July 23.

Mendez composed an ambient soundscape that plays under the whole production, and occasionally, readers are accompanied by cellist Chase Morrison, as well as Sitara Schauer and Carla Kountoupes on violin. The letters were written in four languages: English, Spanish, Greek and Italian. The non-English letters are presented without a translation, and while Mendez is aware this may give viewers pause, she believes the readers’ expression and the accompanying music will be helpful in conveying the meaning.

Mendez says when she was traveling in Greece a few years ago, a friend got her tickets to see a performance at the National Theatre of Greece. Mendez doesn’t speak Greek, but her friend told her to come anyway. “I didn’t understand what they were saying, but their movements, the gesturing, the music, was all really compelling. I walked out of there saying, ‘I loved that! Even though I had no idea what you guys were talking about.’”

Of her own performance, too, she says, “A lot of people who come out to hear me don’t know what I’m saying, because I’m singing in Spanish. I think meaning is conveyed in other invisible ways that I can’t explain, but it touches them on some level, and they’re moved by it.”

LOVE LETTER TO FRIDA 5 pm Sunday July 23. $35-$40.

MICHAEL J WILSON

Summer Pudding: Had Me a Blast

FOOD

It’s just fruit and white bread—seriously

BY MICHAEL J WILSON t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

B

ritish food is incredibly creative in the most oddly boring way imaginable. Mainly consisting of things stuffed into other things and then boiled, it heavily relies on meat, more meat, some potatoes and then, often, the blood from the meat.

Dessert comes in sickly-sweet or savory versions. Pastries have suet in the crust and tons of sugar. Most are super-simple to make and incorporate pre-made elements. With summer cookouts on my mind, I thought this was the perfect time to revisit one of my favorite weirdo British delights: summer pudding.

“Pudding” is a term used very differently in the UK than the USA. A pudding can be dessert or a savory meal, and mainly implies that the ingredients are encased in something and then set in some way. This includes being boiled, cooked or cooled.

Summer pudding is almost too simple: It’s bread and fruit. That’s it. What makes it amazing are the steps that get you from ingredient list to table.

You’ll need a medium saucepan, a wooden spoon, a strainer, cling wrap and a pudding form. You can go fancy and get a pudding basin (they run in the $15-$20 range), but a good bowl with a nice taper will work just as well.

You want the bottom to be about 3 inches round, and the mouth around 8 inches. Anything kinda bell-shaped will work.

INGREDIENTS: • 1 lb. brioche or French bread • 12 oz. strawberries • 12 oz. blueberries • 8 oz. raspberries • 8 ounces blackberries • 1 cup sugar • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice DIRECTIONS: 1 Slice your bread lengthwise into halfinch thick slices. Remove the crusts.

In the saucepan, bring the berries, sugar and lemon juice to a boil over medium heat. Then lower temperature and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the berries release their juice and become very soft. It resembles jam-making at this stage.

2

3 Strain the berries from the liquid and set them aside for now.

Pudding UK-style is way more than just a bunch of sweetly flavored goo.

4 Time to get messy! Line your bowl with a double layer of cling wrap. You want there to be overhang—lots of it. This will make sense in a minute.

5 Get one of the more solid slices of bread and cut to fit in the bottom of the bowl. Soak the piece in the juice and place in the bottom of the bowl. You are then going to line the sides of the bowl with the rest of the juice-soaked bread. Overlap the pieces slightly. You can press them into the sides a little as well, but they should be saturated in juice.

6 Once you have a lined bowl, fill the inside with the fruit mixture. Then you need to use the last of your juice-filled bread to seal the top, hiding all the fruit in a bready tomb. At this point you will look like you murdered someone.

This is fine. Mess is good.

7 Use the leftover parts of the cling wrap to wrap up the pudding tightly.

Press down a bit and place a small plate or other covering on the top of the pudding. It should fit in the mouth of the bowl. Put something heavy on top

(I used a one-pound bag of sugar) and place in the fridge.

8 It needs to sit in the fridge for at least eight hours to set fully. You want gelatinous wonderment, not goo.

9 If you did it right you should be able to open the top of the pudding and plate it easily. Slice and serve cold with ice cream or, to be extra British, clotted cream.

Enjoy! It should keep for a few days.

Below is a “quick” and “easy” recipe for clotted cream.

CLOTTED CREAM RECIPE: Take 1 quart heavy cream and place in a heatproof bowl over a pot of boiling water; use a double boiler if you have one.

Bring cream to 175 degrees. Then slowly bring cream to 200 degrees and hold it there for an hour. A cracked, yellow foam will form. This is what you want. Set the bowl of cream in an ice bath to cool quickly. Cover and place in the fridge overnight. Skim the yellowed part into a jar and there you have it! Clotted cream.

Or, you could just go buy some whipped cream. That works too.

We pay the most for your gold coins, heirloom jewelry and diamonds!

Spiderman: Homecoming Review

Marvel Studios’ interconnected superhero universe keeps kicking ass with Spiderman: Homecoming, the third reboot in the franchise, now with newcomer Tom Holland as the titular Spidey. The what’s-right elements of the film are many: no tired origin story, superior cast (including an actually young Peter Parker, because wasn’t Toby Maguire, like, 37 and who the hell is Andrew Garfield anyway?), a healthy mix of humor interspersed throughout the melodrama and, most importantly, summer fun.

We follow Spiderman as he desperately tries to win favor with Tony Stark/Ironman (Robert Downey Jr. himself ) and, by extension, the fullon Avengers. Our hero is just 15, so he’s obviously brash and impatient. But he still acts as the hero of Queens, curbing crime and flinging all over the damn place with his web-shooters. But when a one-time salvage crew foreman (Michael Keaton) is screwed out of a job by some covert and newly founded government/Stark Industries alien collateral damage joint cleanup depart-

ment, the class of criminal in NYC shoots up into the super-villain strata, whereupon Spiderman is also tangled up in the high-stakes world of alien tech-propelled murder and mayhem.

Keaton is a goddamn treasure as The Vulture, an everyman father-type pushed to extreme measures—and a pretty nifty flying super-suit— because of class warfare or something. Holland excels as well, providing a perfect balance between petulant youth and accidental hero; the quieter, tenser moments between the two are superb, especially in Keaton’s more restrained “Imma kill your ass!” scenes.

Overall, the story (from Freaks and Geeks alum John Francis Daley) provides more

complexity than we’re accustomed to from the Spiderman world, and director Jon Watts makes sure the dramatics never quite reach overthe-top. He prefers instead to zero in on the wise-cracking, web-dangling, lady-saving Spidey we’ve come to know and love over most of our lifetimes. Is this high cinema? God, no—but you’ll have a blast and a half the entire time, and that’s not nothing.

rife with misinformation and conflicting facts.

Kennedy, however, gives voice to both sides of the issue and includes interviews with GMO scientists as well as influential anti-GMO activists like Jefferey Smith and Zen Honeycutt. And though a documentary about GMOs could easily become dull, Food Evolution stays fresh and energetic, showing that, in the end, we all want the same thing: fresh, safe, sustainable food. It’s just a question of how to get there. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, Food Evolution is a must-see. To know, to understand and to think critically about the future of food production is essential—quite literally a matter of life and death. (Lauren Thompson) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 92 min.

+ ENGAGING AND CHALLENGING - NOT ENOUGH NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON. GIVE US MORE!

In an age of alternative facts, you’d at least like to know what’s in your food. But as director Scott Hamilton Kennedy (Fame High) reveals in his newest documentary, Food Evolution, things aren’t that simple. Navigating the debate surrounding GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and with narration from scientist/superstar Neil deGrasse Tyson, the film documents why the United States, along with the rest of the world, is so torn up about engineering our food.

The words “GMO debate” evoke images of a divided, white, middle-class America, and Food Evolution puts the issue into a larger context of a global scale. The film asserts that with few facts and unchecked fear, GMOs have been banned in places across the world. As a result, farmers in countries as distant as Kenya and South Africa are losing food sources to disease and face starvation and mass crop loss. As one farmer urges, “Americans, please be aware, be informed that whenever you say ‘no’ to GM technology, you are suppressing Africa.”

While the documentary unquestionably favors GMOs, the debate itself is nebulous and

reconsider his legacy and tries to patch things up with his family, but as his unresolved emotions begin to pile, he grapples with whether or not he’s led a life worth living.

Lee spends his days getting stoned with his former costar Jeremy (Nick Offerman, who previously starred alongside Elliott in the sitcom Parks and Recreation), providing voiceover work for commercials with his deep, booming voice or trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Krysten Ritter). When he starts dating a much younger woman named Charlotte (Orange is the New Black’s Laura Prepon) and is offered a lifetime achievement award from some rinky-dink Western appreciation club, he sets into motion what may be a professional second wind. Still, he deals with the diagnosis alone, causing him to stumble in auditions and sabotage whatever scraps of potential happiness he may have left.

Writer/director Brett Haley (I’ll See You in My Dreams) crafted The Hero specifically for Elliott, who is utterly brilliant—all at once effortlessly channeling his own real-world career and the stark sadness of a father who feels he’s failed his child. Even as he’s point-blank confronted with the possibility that he’s only trying to right the past in the face of death, Lee wonders how that could possibly be so bad; he’s not wrong so much as it may be too late.

But still he tries, even as he feels he never lived up to his own promise. This isn’t easy to watch, but it does raise poignant questions, all the while cutting to the very core of universal self-doubt and our innate human need to feel we

THE MUMMY

+ I MEAN, IT’S PEOPLE FIGHTING MUMMIES

- TOM CRUISE, IN GENERAL

Where does one even begin in dismantling any far-fetched high hopes for a quality reboot (sort of, but more on that soon) of The Mummy with Tom Cruise? First off, Cruise at this point is really more of an onscreen presence than actual thespian. Rather than sink his teeth into anything, Cruise remains content to sprint towards things or away from things and make silly quips and one-liners while doing his best to not look as short as he actually is next to his leading ladies.

Here Cruise plays Nick Morton, an American solider of some kind who, along with his reluctant cohort Vail (New Girl’s Jake Johnson), disregards orders to traipse around the Middle East stealing artifacts to sell on the black market. It’s absurd—and not in a fun, Indiana Jones kind of way because at least Indy was all like, “It belongs in a museum!” It’s more like, Cruise-isn’t-ascharming-as-he-thinks-and-who-the-hell-decided-to-try-and-inject-humor-into-this-movie kind of way. During a routine theft attempt in Iraq, Nick and Vail unwittingly discover the ancient tomb (or is it?!) of an Egyptian princess (Sofia Boutella) who was buried alive for making a

Even if this had happened in The Mummy, it still would’ve been more enjoyable than the actual final product. deal with the god Set so she could be all kinds of powerful. Wouldn’t you know it, though—they awaken her, she’s pissed and she’s gonna give Set Nick’s body so he can have dominion over life and death which, frankly, doesn’t sound all bad to us.

Along for the ride is a beautiful archaeologist named Jennifer (Annabelle Wallis) with whom Nick shares one of those oh-so-playfully combative relationships (but they probably care deeply about each other). Jen has secrets of her own, though, like how she works for Russell Crowe who—twist!—plays Dr. Jekyll. Yes, yes— that Dr. Jekyll. See, Universal Studios is clearly telegraphing a return to their monster movie stable of yesteryear, and with sly nods to properties like the Creature from the Black Lagoon and vampires and stuff, it becomes clear to film fans (read: people of a certain age) that there’s plenty more where this came from whether we like it or not.

The exposition becomes downright gratuitous at a certain point, and it isn’t long before we realize we’ve just been watching running punctuated by a few face-punches, and whatever light elements of Egyptology may have made it through seem squandered to a fault. No, this film is not as goofy-fun as the 1999 Brendan Fraser romp, and even far-superior CGI and a lack of The Rock don’t make up for a dragging plot, god-awful writing and another forgettable turn from Cruise. Killing time? Knock yourselves out.

Looking for something even slightly good? Move on. (ADV) Regal, PG-13, 110 min.

WONDER WOMAN

+ GAL GADOT ABLY BLENDS BEAUTY AND BRAWN

- RATHER FORMULAIC

The long-overdue Wonder Woman film is an origin story that doesn’t shrink from the beauty or brawn of a hero in whom the parallels of ancient mythology and modern superhero fiction become literal.

Diana (Gal Gadot), the precocious daughter of Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), is a princess of the superhuman Amazons. The all-female tribe, originally created by Zeus to protect mortals, eventually withdrew to the mystical “Paradise Island” of Themyscira to escape man’s wickedness. But mankind interrupts paradise when American soldier and spy Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crash-lands on Diana’s doorstep, during World War I, with a squadron of Germans in pursuit.

As the far-off factions negotiate an armistice, a rogue German general (Danny Huston) and his maimed, mad chemist (Elena Anaya) concoct a new nerve agent that could tip the balance of the war. Hearing of the cataclysm and motivated by the mythological bedtime stories of her childhood, Diana comes to believe that only she can save the world by leaving Themyscira and vanquishing Ares, the Greek god of war and an enemy of the Amazons.

Arriving in World War I-era London, Diana peruses a new wardrobe to cover her utilitarian leather skirt and blend into a corseted, maleCONTINUED ON PAGE 43

MOVIES

Like a lot of people, we wept at really weird moments during Wonder Woman. Probably because we like seeing ladies kick a whole bunch of asses. dominated society as her alter ego, Diana Prince. “How do you fight in this attire?” the warrior unironically asks, donning an outfit that evokes the fashion of the women’s suffrage movement. The scene references the comic-book origins of Wonder Woman, whose creator, psychologist William Moulton Marston, was partly inspired by early-20thcentury feminism.

Director Patty Jenkins (Monster) was originally tapped to direct Thor 2 before leaving the Marvel Studios project due to creative differences. For more than a decade, she lobbied to helm a Wonder Woman film, and then got the gig after Michelle MacLaren dropped out. The result is the most grounded of the first four films in the evolving DC Extended Universe. It doesn’t reinvent the superhero origin story; it’s rather formulaic in that regard.

Pine’s able mix of wit and earnestness serves him well as Diana’s sherpa and latent love interest, and Gadot strikes the right balance as an alluring, even playful idealist who relishes the battle but not the war. Wonder Woman isn’t a transcendent movie heroine à la Ellen Ripley from Alien or Imperator Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road. But she is seminal, if not singular, in modern superhero cinema. (Neil Morris) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 141 min.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

6

+ GHOST PIRATES! - GHOST PIRATES…

Johnny Depp and crew are back as Captain Jack Sparrow and a bunch of bafflingly yet inextricably linked seafaring types in the newest installment of Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer’s Pirates franchise. Looks like Jack Sparrow ran afoul of a Spanish captain named Salazar (a wonderfully spooky Javier Bardem) some years ago and, as is the style of these films, that means supernatural curses for some reason and more acrobatic adventure for the likes of the formerly-also-cursed Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), Henry Turner (the son of Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner from previous films, as played by the incredibly conventionally handsome Brenton Thwaites from Gods of Egypt) and a brilliant if brash young scientist named Carina (The Maze Runner’s Kaya Scodelario).

Young Henry wants to save his dad from service on the ghost ship Flying Dutchman, but he’ll need the fabled trident of Poseidon to do

so. According to legend, anyone who’s got that thing is basically the king of the sea. The only catch is that to get that bad boy he’ll need a “map no man can read.” Good thing Carina is a woman (and also conveniently has the map), so they join Jack Sparrow to get that danged artifact while Salazar nips at their heels totally ready to kill everyone cause he straight crazy.

Whereas the series took a bizarre turn many films ago and chooses to favor ghosts and stuff over good old-fashioned pirating, Dead Men isn’t as bad as you’d think. This isn’t to say it’s great by any means—more like you’ll probably never find yourself bored. Depp is … fine as Sparrow, but we’ve of course grown accustomed to his Keith Richards-y bumbling and damn-near-unbelievable ability to piss off every fucking ghost and curse victim throughout the Seven Seas. Bardem is brilliant as always and actually provides a fun villain, it’s just that everything else is fairly predictable at this point.

Paul McCartney’s cameo, however, is a pure delight, and we would have watched a whole movie just with him being a goofball. Still, pirates get stabbed, and what else are you doing? (ADV) Regal, PG-13, 129 min.

PRANIC HEALING LEVEL 1 INTENSIVE CLASS WITH KEI OKUBO Saturday, July 22, 9am - 5pm and Sunday, July 23, 9am-3pm. Registration required. Space is limited.Pranic Healing‰ is an non-touch, energetic healing approach that works with the body’s “prana” or life force. The class is experiential, which means that you learn by performing the techniques in the class on yourself and on other class participants. During the class, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and you will practice the techniques so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course. In Pranic Healing‰ Level 1, you will learn the basics of working with your energy system (aura), including learning to “scan,” or feel the energy, to “sweep,” or clean away congested energy, and to “energize,” or supplement areas in your aura that have a pranic deficiency. You begin by learning to activate the energy centers, or “chakras,” in the center of your hands. This enables you to become sensitive to prana and scan a person’s - or your own - energy field to identify blockages and then cleanse, energize and revitalize the area with new prana.

Pranic Healing‰ Level 1 is a prerequisite to all other courses.

Course Fee: $325 if you register

by July 9, $350 if you register

by July 16, $375 if you register after July 16, and $30.00 for if you are reviewing the class and can present a Level 1 Certificate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The cereus cactus grows in the deserts of the southwestern U.S. Most of the time it’s scraggly and brittle-looking. But one night of the year, in June or July, it blooms with a fragrant, trumpet-shaped flower. By dawn the creamy white petals close and start to wither. During that brief celebration, the plant’s main pollinator, the sphinx moth, has to discover the marvelous event and come to gather the cactus flower’s pollen. I suspect this scenario has metaphorical resemblances to a task you could benefit from carrying out in the days ahead. Be alert for a sudden, spectacular, and rare eruption of beauty that you can feed from and propagate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is one of those rare grace periods when you can slip into a smooth groove without worrying that it will degenerate into a repetitive rut. You’ll feel natural and comfortable as you attend to your duties, not blank or numb. You’ll be entertained and educated by exacting details, not bored by them. I conclude, therefore, that this will be an excellent time to lay the gritty foundation for expansive and productive adventures later this year. If you’ve been hoping to get an advantage over your competitors and diminish the negative influences of people who don’t empathize with you, now is the time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is a direct correlation between playfulness and intelligence, since the most intelligent animals engage in the greatest amount of playful activities.” So reports the *National Geographic.* “The reason is simple: Intelligence is the capacity for learning, and to play is to learn.” I suggest you make these thoughts the centerpiece of your life in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase when you have an enhanced capacity to master new tricks. That’s fortunate, because you’re also in a phase when it’s especially crucial for you to learn new tricks. The best way to ensure it all unfolds with maximum grace is to play as much as possible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I had more room here, I would offer an inspirational Powerpoint presentation designed just for you. In the beginning, I would seize Homework: Do you let your imagination indulge in fanyour attention with an evocative image that my market- tasies that are wasteful, damaging, or dumb?

Sparky

50 lb 2 years, 5 months old Neutered Male

Ready for a new furry friend? That could be Sparky, a 2 year old Mixed Breed who we think may have a tiny bit of Australian Shepherd in him. His owner could no longer care for him and he is now ready to look for a new family where he can romp and play! He loves toys, especially ones that squeak! Sparky currently weighs around 50 lbs but may fill a bit once he’s in his home. He’s done well here at the shelter, playing and sniffing around our playards with his doggie friends. He’s friendly with people and affectionate too. Sparky is dreaming about going home with you today – can you make his dream come true?

Todd

10 lb 1 year, 9 months old Neutered Male

Don’t let his pint-size serious face fool you – this guy has a big, sweet, and fun personality! Todd is a white smooth coated Chihuahua Mix, one year old, that currently weighs about 10 lbs, which we think is a healthy weight for him. He looking for someone who can show him around Santa Fe and take him to local tourist spots. Could that be with you? He’s got great taste and would like to enjoy some tasty treats along the way. Todd is a truly dynamic boy who is really good at playing fetch with a tennis ball or small rubber toys. At the end of the day, he’s happy to snuggle up with a person and he’s hoping that person is you!
