LETTERS, SEPTEMBER 19: “NO THANK YOU PLEASE”

BRINGS PEOPLE TO FLYING I have to take issue with Kate McCahill’s letter against last weekend’s Fly-In. Her main complaint was against all the people it attracts. Tourism is a big part of Santa Fe’s economy. Isn’t the idea to get people to come here?

What bothered me more was Ms. McCahill’s calling pilots “elite.” I was one

of many volunteers at the event. Other volunteer groups included high school cadets from the Civil Air Patrol, which is open to everyone. AOPA, the sponsoring organization, as well as the EAA, and the 99s all have outreach and scholarship programs to bring people to flying.

Becoming a pilot costs a fraction of a four-by-four pickup truck. Are pickup trucks elitist? They seem pretty popular here.

Flying is like many difficult things in life. You may have to work for it, but if you want it, you can get it.

On the other hand, maybe Ms. McCahill is right. One aspect of flying may be elitist: Flying requires a high degree of commitment and responsibility. When you are “Pilot In Command” you can’t be half-assed about anything.

THE DARK HORSE

Mar

t in

n-L

An engineer by training, Martin Heinrich has been involved in public policy and held public office for most of his career.

He’s been out front on efforts to create and expand public land in New Mexico, as well as with tech transfer from public institutions like Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs and the state’s universities to private businesses.

He’s a big supporter of renewable energy.

Challenger Rich has criticized Heinrich for his focus.

“I think he’s deeply out of touch,” the senator rebuts. “One, I’m focused on jobs, but part of that is the jobs engine that our [fed-erally protected lands] are. Every one of these special designations … has resulted in additional jobs, additional visitation, additional tax revenue.”

Heinrich was dead-set against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh even before a second accuser came forward. He sees the seat as critical for decades to come.

“I think it’s really important to realize that there are a million reasons why a 15-year-old girl—not just then, but now—would choose not to bring charges forward. And to be so dismissive of that is what’s wrong in our culture,” he says.

While Heinrich has been in Washington, DC, for a decade and wants another six years there, he says he hasn’t adapted.

“It’s just not the natural place I would gravitate to, but I love what I can do for New Mexico there,” he tells SFR an hour after arriving in Albuquerque. “I will always come home to feed my soul. When I get off the plane in New Mexico, my blood pressure drops 15 points.

I will always treasure the time I get to come here and recharge the things that make me, me.”

h ric

Early voting starts Oct. 9, though there are two debates on the calendar for October that might be helpful in guiding voters.

This is the Catron Senate seat, so named for Thomas Catron, who first held it after statehood. Notable occupants include Democrats Jeff Bingaman and Dennis Chavez, as well as Republicans Jack Schmitt and Edwin Mechem, who appointed himself to the position (when Chavez died in office) in November 1962 after losing a reelection bid for governor just weeks earlier.

he race for US Senate in New Mexico this year is an odd sort of Venn diagram among three men who share some traits, but are remarkably different when it comes to their political views.

Democrat Martin Heinrich and Libertarian Gary Johnson love the outdoors.

Johnson and Republican Mick Rich have both run construction companies.

Rich and Heinrich both graduated college with engineering degrees.

Gary Johnson knows the polls can’t be right if he’s going to win the race, which he says he can.

“In the four weeks I’ve been out there, three people have told me that they’re not going to vote for me … as opposed to the thousands that have told me that they are,” Johnson tells SFR from the car on his way to Chama.

“Still, there are a lot of people that don’t know that I’m in the race.”

He’s only been in it since the middle of August, taking over the Libertarian slot abandoned by State Land Commissioner Aubrey Dunn.

For the former two-term governor (he was a Republican then) and two-time Libertarian presidential candidate, the biggest issue facing na the country is its $21.5-trillion national debt, which he sees as a huge threat to US financial stability and independence.

“When the inflation aspect of horri this kicks in, it’s going to be horrible. Of course it hasn’t happened to im this point, but it will. We’re not immune to this equation,” he warns.

“If borrowing money and printing money were the key to success, Zimbabwe would the center of the world and Venezuela would be a close second.”

If things fall Johnson’s way, he would be a key vote in the Senate and perhaps even the swing vote.

He sees not being aligned with a Republican or Democratic vote as being advantageous to New Mexico.

He promises to develop his own balanced budget and submit it to the Senate so the body could see what that looks like and how hard the cuts would be.

On Kavanaugh, he’s no longer “thumbs up” as he was last week and wants to hear testimony before deciding whether or not he’d support the nominee.

Mick Rich-R

THE CHALLENGER Mick Rich is an affable guy with a surprisingly deep voice. Like Heinrich, he holds an engineering degree. He’s owned a construction company since the early 1980s. Married, with three daughters and a son, Rich calls Albuquerque home.

“I have worked for 40 years to try to make the state a better place,” he tells SFR, citing his work to develop apprenticeship programs in the construction trades, to support the creation of a charter high school (it’s now defunct) and to renovate San Felipe de Neri Catholic Church in Albuquerque and Holy Cross Catholic Church in Santa Cruz.

He wants a more well-rounded economy for the state, noting current employment numbers are skewed by the booming oil fields in southeastern New Mexico.

Rich is critical of Johnson’s entry into the race as self-serving. Adding Johnson’s

NEWS

numbers (16 percent) to his own 26 percent would put him within striking distance of Heinrich, who sat at 47 percent in the most recent poll by the Albuquerque Journal.

Rich says Heinrich’s focus on national monuments and open space is shortsighted.

“I’m not saying neither one is important.

But people are not moving to Texas because they have more monuments and wilderness.

It’s because they have more good-paying jobs,” he jabs.

Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination would get a yes vote from Rich.

“His judicial record is a stellar one. And I think it’s important that the cases that come before the Supreme Court should be viewed on how they tie to existing law and the Constitution. And I believe the Constitution needs to be interpreted as written. … Amendments are not up to the Supreme Court,” Rich says. “I’m in agreement with [Kavanaugh’s] record and what he stands for.”

Building Up Resistance Departing Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association Director Kim Shanahan reflects on the industry’s changing face

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

T

he National Association of Home Builders is not a left-wing organization. In the current midterm election alone, the trade association—a federation of over 800 state and local associations, totaling some 140,000 business owners, subcontractors, and more— has donated over six times as much to Republican congressional candidates compared to Democrats.

In this way, the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association is an anomaly, says outgoing Executive Director Kim Shanahan. That became clear about 10 years ago, when the local association’s leadership handed out surveys to its 400-some members. The survey “confirmed everything I believed: that the demographics and dudes I’ve been working with out in the fields for years were pretty much like me”—progressive on issues like immigration, gay rights and affordable housing—“and not like who the [national] leadership was,” Shanahan tells SFR over breakfast.

By the time Donald Trump ascended to the White House, the local association had already spent years laying a foundation working with Santa Fe’s immigrant community. In March it held a know-your-rights workshop at its office on Camino Entrada for immigrants and their employers, and will have another on applying for citizenship.

According to Shanahan, there are dozens of legal permanent residents in Santa Fe who own home building businesses. It’s a sea change from when he got his contractor’s license in 1991, as immigrants have replaced the “aging white baby boomers” now retiring.

SFR spoke with Shanahan about local demographic change, affordable housing, and how a traditionally conservative institution

came to be a critical part of the local resistance to the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant policy: SFR: What sort of changes have you witnessed to the home builders industry in Santa Fe over the last 30 years?

KS: Building a house is like making a movie. You have a writer who’s like the architect, you have producer who’s like the [home’s] owner, the general contractor is the director. You have someone who comes out and does the concrete work, you also bring out some plumbers, then framing crews, after that someone puts in all the wiring, then the pipes. … Every one of them is a business with its own crews.

When I moved here 32 years ago, the Spanish-speaking guys that I saw were all workers in the dangerous trades like tar roofing. But the evolution of these last 30-some years, you see the higher-skilled crafts [like plumbing, electrical, and framing] began to have guys that spoke Spanish primarily. That evolved to the point where you see people who are legal permanent residents, or maybe they became citizens, and now they’re general contractors and building million-dollar homes for very wealthy people, and they might have every single person from every single trade [be] a person whose first language is Spanish.

Has this change been reflected in the leadership of the local association?

The leadership of our organization is still, generally speaking, either aging Anglos or younger Anglos, or local Hispanic people. Not anybody born in Mexico or [who] speaks English as a second language. Within our association, we do have dozens of businesses who join because they receive mem-

bers-only workers’ compensation insurance.

Our tent is relatively wide for members, [but] we never found the model for what would work for Spanish speakers in a networking kind of phenomenon. I believe that has to change. We have to be an association that reflects the demography of our industry. And right now, it doesn’t, [and] it probably won’t until us aging boomers move on to other pastures.

NEWS

when we were still trying to have really clear and direct outreach to the Hispanic community, we hosted two fall fiestas.

We didn’t have one in 2017 or 2018, because we knew ICE could very well show up. And even if ICE didn’t show up, they could. Everybody is like, ‘No way I’m gonna go hang out with the home builders.’ …

So we stopped.

Since then, we’ve offered our space to [the Santa Fe Dreamers Project and Somos Un Pueblo Unido] for luncheons and workshops on what you need to know if ICE shows up at your job site. We’re having another one on Oct. 11, on how to get yourself and your workers on a path to citizenship.

How did Trump’s election affect the home builder association’s work with the immigrant community?

It stepped it up. In 2015 and 2016, back

You’ve said you’ll step down by the end of the year, and have stated an interest in working for affordable housing in Santa Fe. I could be of more service outside [the association]; for instance, [with] the Santa Fe You see people who Housing Trust, which owns the balance of the Tierra Contenta are legal permanent subdivision on the Southside of town. The ability to get back residents, or maybe into the game in Tierra Contenta and perhaps even figure they became citizens, out how it should go forward and now they’re general and how we can empower local businesses, plumbers and electricians [in guiding the contractors and subdivision’s growth] is excitbuilding millioning to me.

You also have the whole dollar homes for Midtown LINC at the [former] Santa Fe University of Art and very wealthy Design, and adjacent properties that are clearly where we people. could build a fair amount of multifamily housing. These -Kim Shanahan, are the kinds of things I’m Home Builders drawn to. Whether someone Association Director will pay what I need to get paid is another story. Maybe I’ll just go to my cabin [in Cow Creek] and write my novel, pat my dog on the head, take some shots of bourbon.

In your view, what are some barriers to affordable housing?

The public perception is that it’s NIMBYs. And that’s absolutely true. But especially for multifamily affordable housing, it really is also just as much about having the incentives necessary. The most easy subsidy is when city land is donated to a housing nonprofit like the Housing Trust. … There are other properties in our town [that are] institutionally owned that the city could work out trades with, as they did with the Las Soleras developers, so that the city could control that land.

Out THE SANTA FE DIY ARTS SCENE IS BOOMING

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

local arts movement has been gaining momentum in Santa Fe with a simple theme: Art is for everyone.

Artists who follow in the grand footsteps of creative types who grew sick of having minimal choices and set about designing their own destinies are percolating in the DIY art space scene, which seems to be growing with speed and regularity.

As Drew Lenihan, one of the founders of the space Etiquette, says, “I don’t think more [spaces] means better. But I think the more opportunities there are for younger artists to take risks, that can only bring more cultural wealth.”

That ethos of universal accessibility lies at the heart of Santa Fe’s rising and evolving art

spaces. They’re run by collectives or individuals and staffed by true believers. Increasingly, they reside in areas of town not traditionally known for exhibiting visual arts. They support and build up scenes around the idea that it’s OK to fail just as long as you try. In eschewing the concept of famous and valuable in favor of the democratization of art, inspiration spreads.

To excavate the roots of this movement, let’s hit the rewind button.

In the fall of 2014, Kyle Farrell, Erikka James and Jordan Eddy began hosting pop-up openings and salons in James’ home. All were relatively new transplants to Santa Fe, but as artists and writers themselves, they hadn’t quite found what they were looking for, exhibition-wise. Besides, they had embarked on a mission to provide opportunities for artists who might otherwise have a difficult time being shown. Canyon Road, after all, is not known as wildly accessible to a broad spectrum of arts.

Strangers Collective was born.

They’d show elsewhere, too, at places such as Art.i.fact and Wheelhouse Art, but by early summer of 2016, with bigger and better exhibitions under their belts, Strangers was ready to step it up a notch. That first big show—“big” insofar as the opening was heavily attended—was titled Narrows. It ran for three weeks at The Community Gallery inside the Santa Fe Community Convention Center and comprised multiple media, etchings, zines and more—it was a smashing success.

By this time, James had left Santa Fe for New York City. Farrell and Eddy (who occassionally contributes to SFR and was not inter-

viewed for this story) had taken over full time. Strangers’ membership exploded, and artist Alex Gill came into the curatorial fold as co-director, setting aside the emphasis on his own artistic practice.

“They were doing really incredible things, just the two of them,” Gill tells SFR. “The mission at that point was very much helping people we knew who wanted to work with us but didn’t have anywhere—that is still the ethos, and me coming onboard didn’t change the mission.”

The collective’s leadership took on The Long Echo at the Center for Contemporary Arts that fall, another sprawling event featuring visual and performing arts. But once that show concluded, the writing was on the wall and the artists of Strangers realized they’d need a more permanent space to accomplish everything they’d set out to do.

NO LAND (54 1/2 E San Francisco St., Ste. 7; strangersartcollective.com), a small yet powerful second-story Plaza-adjacent brick-and-mortar space became the collective’s home and remains so today. It is comprised of three small rooms, and has seen everything from openings for the outstanding local puppet crafters of Flying Wall Studio to music and dance performances and exhibits for local heavy-hitters such as Niomi Fawn and Marcus Zuiñga. NO LAND even housed early pop-ups for Dandelion Guild, Santa Fe’s preeminent maker’s boutique, be-

fore Dandelion had a space of its own.

The space’s location was a conscious choice, a way to hide in plain sight with a ragtag brand of intrusion.

“It was really important that we were downtown,” Farrell says. “It was so much about the spirit of being disruptors when it comes to what’s down there.”

Hints of revolution aside, why would a space dedicated to lesser-known but no-less-talented artists need to employ subterfuge? Partly because old fears ring true—the marketing aspects of visual arts remain one of the strangest and most complex economic microcosms looming over today’s creators; the old guard of galleries and art sales is not easy to work around.

“I think it’s kind of a tricky situation,” says artist Cyrus McCray. “The gallery infrastructure as it exists has a very provincial and relatively conservative aesthetic that’s driven by work that has never been seen before and has no market value. In no uncertain terms, it’s kind of just a lie they feed to people that the work has val-

ue. What they say it’s worth is what people believe it’s worth.”

We’re sitting on the porch of his soonto-open space on Agua Fría near Siler Road, The Lighthouse, which he aims to bring to the public in February. It also serves as his own studio, where he shows me pieces he’s working on: Hand-carved geometric shapes in wood that are meticulously mathematic, emblazoned with a subtle array of colors that invite a close examination. In a side room, he shows me his next idea: Aluminum sheets with a honeycomb pattern inside. McCray isn’t sure exactly what he’ll do with them, but he’s zeroing in on processes. In certain corners he has built makeshift storage closets, but other than the materials he’s currently working with, The Lighthouse is incredibly clean and organized.

McCray says the space is aimed to help him delve into concepts he’s long pondered—works as artifact (which has intrinsic cultural value outside of commerce) and artifice (which he says comes from manufactured false scarcity and

monied interest.) Keeping work affordable is paramount for him and for the collective sensibility.

“I don’t expect to see sales from this space that are going to generate enough to pay my rent,” McCray says. “It’s more in the capacity that teaching is something that’s a responsibility of people who are practitioners of different art forms; after a certain level of proficiency, I feel it’s the responsibility of people to give back to the community.”

For his first show, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 7, McCray plans to exhibit his own work and that of locals like Timothy Reed (sometimes known as Deer Mit), Matthew N Gwin and Samantha Dapkewicz. He doesn’t have all the particulars nailed down yet, but he says he plans to include special one-off screens for things like bags and clothing. This will not only mean that products such as T-shirts will carry unique designs and artistry, but they will also be affordable.

“The value of artwork doesn’t function the way most people think it does,” McCray says. “It’s not about acquiring valuable paintings and insulating capital and protecting it and watching it develop momentum. Art has a cultural value that is priceless—it’s worth far more money than anybody could ever give you for it.”

Look even farther south in Santa Fe to find more examples of art that’s more about showing than buying. It’s there, on Fox Road, with 5. Gallery (2351 Fox Road, Ste. 700; 5pointgallery.com) and East of West, two neighboring spaces that occupy differing echelons of the burgeoning DIY gallery world but that have adopted similar mindsets; namely, if you want to see something done, do it yourself.

For 5.’s Max Baseman, it’s as simple as showing work that he likes.

“Otherwise, what’s the point?” he says with a laugh.

We sit at a newly built table in his space. The walls and floor are spotless.

of the day, it’s showing work I think is important, and there is a lot of amazing, important work in Santa Fe—there’s nothing like being in front of it.”

A little later and right next door, LE Brown emerges from East of West Gallery (2351 Fox Road, Ste. 600) in dramatic fashion, a massive grin on her face.

“Sorry. I’m late,” she says lightly. “Would you like some water?”

In less than a year, Brown has transformed her space from an empty warehouse to a custom gallery focused on celebrating works from the Middle East. She runs a lending library, has future plans for a film series and is hopeful about transitioning into a nonprofit.

She’s the digital media coordinator for Currents New Media Festival and also works for the Emerging Media Alliance, another new citywide collaboration.

But Brown came up in the Santa Fe art scene trenches while working for galleries like Nedra Matteucci and GF Contemporary. Still, since her days in college at the University of California at Santa Cruz, she’s leaned more toward showcasing work from the Middle East.

“This past month and a half has been revelatory and with exactly the communities I wanted to highlight,” Brown says of Before We Were Banned, the most recent exhibit at East of West, cu-

Diaz dot the room. By the time you read this, his next show, Wilkes / Couisenau will have opened with paintings and photography from two Santa Fe artists. After two years, Baseman says that 5. is holding steady despite some months being tighter than others. Still, it represents massive progress.

In the early days, Baseman showed at his home on Galisteo Street. But when his landlord put the kibosh on his plan, he ended his lease and went looking for a suitable art space. Since then, Midtown and the Southside have both enjoyed a major renaissance with businesses like Second Street Brewery and Meow Wolf providing reasons to explore the city past Siler Road, but Baseman hadn’t prioritized the area, nor did he realize what it might become. It just sort of worked out that way.

“And it’s still small, it’s still a locals’ gallery,” he says.

Baseman has no formal training. His father is Taos-based artist Marc Baseman, but other than growing up in galleries and museums, running his own space was a bit of risk.

“On paper, I could have never landed this job in any gallery,” Baseman points out. “The only thing I have on paper is an art history 101 class.”

He’s also the first to admit that he’s lucked out—from generous benefactors who believe in his mission to shows featuring famed New Mexico minimalist Agnes Martin. He’s also shown his father’s work and that of Ilona Pachler and others—always the work that strikes him. Still, Baseman is in it alone, and a normal day includes poring over submissions, administrative tasks and even cleaning the gallery.

“You do whatever you can do to make it happen, and that’s very much a part of the DIY aesthetic,” Baseman tells SFR. “But I try not to get caught up in terms.

I, TOO, AM EMERGING. It’s important as well to Etiquette, a fledgling gallery in the same neighborhood (2889 Trades West Road, Ste. E), adjacent to DIY music space Ghost. Etiquette opened in January 2017 under the care of artist/curators Drew Lenihan, Sarah Bradley and Angelo Harmsworth.

The trio had the experience, with Lenihan having attended Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, and working for institutions such as SITE Santa Fe. Harmsworth is a former Santa Fe University of Art and Design student and experimental musician who has since moved to Germany, and Bradley works in the narrative audio department at Meow Wolf.

Musician Theodore Cale Schafer, who works in the same Meow Wolf department as Bradley, joined the collective later, having formed a bond with Harmsworth online and subsequently moving to Santa Fe from Michigan.

rated by Brooklyn-based Iranian team Kiana Pirouz and Mahya Soltani. The show featured works by artists from Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen and elsewhere and was created in the wake of Trump’s 2017 travel ban. It originally showed in New York City and is scheduled to travel else-

ing,” she says. “It’s letting these artists tell their own stories. I’ve worked with some folks who are like, ‘This isn’t political enough!’ or ‘This is too political!’, but in Before We Were Banned … celebrating these folks who are coming from communities that are negatively affected by the travel ban, they could do whatever they wanted—happy or sad. To be able to have these vibrant communities is really humanizing.”

But East of West as we know it is coming to an end following BORDERLAND: Photograph Exhibition by Alia Ali, Brown’s last show in the physical space which opens Saturday Oct. 20 and runs through Wednesday Nov. 7. Afterwards, East of West becomes more ethereal, with Brown moving overseas to pursue arts and job opportunities. She’ll still host pop-ups abroad and plans to return to Santa Fe each June to continue her work with Currents.

“There are three things I’ve found I’m interested in,” says Brown. “Basically, contemporary Middle Eastern women artists are artists who are in diaspora; increasing accessibility in the arts; and, since I’ve gotten involved with Currents, photography and video artists. But I can’t do my job without input from artists, and that level of collaboration is something I’ve gravitated toward. I, too, am emerging.”

The idea of accessibility came up organically during every interview conducted for this story.

Zephyr Community Art Studio FROM LEFT: Drew Lenihan, Sarah Bradley and Theodore Cale Schafer make up Etiquette, arguably the most punk-rock outfit in the bunch.

“To be perfectly honest, it all came out of frustration with another art space that we met and bonded and did various amounts of work,” Lenihan says. When we speak, it’s the closing night of Bear Trap, a show featuring video works of his own as well as paintings by Jared Weiss and ceramics by artist Owen Marc Laurion.

“We didn’t have the creative freedom to do what we wanted,” Lenihan continues.

“Basically, we discussed our frustration and then one of us found this place on Craigslist and we just did it.”

According to Lenihan, Santa Fe’s art scenes are relatively open minded (or at least like to act as if they are). They can, however, feel downright resistant to the unknown or to change. The notion of accessibility comes up again, but this time as it applies to curation, music promotion and spaces dedicated to supporting their members’ ideas and visions.

“At the core of it all—art, music, Santa Fe—it has its own elitism and a very bizarre breed of conservatism,” he says. “I’d say it’s open to new ideas, but actually has no core avant-garde or collective acceptance of new things or ideas. I just wanted to have my

own communal space where things could be messy, things didn’t have to be perfect; a place to fail.”

Bradley and Schafer say these tenets have been paying off and attendance is up at Etiquette, though it’s hardly their main focus.

“A lot of people who really love New Mexico, they’ve been out here on a road trip and we’re getting people from other communities brought to this place,” Bradley says.

“But if we have a show and we like it, there’s no way for us to fail,” Schafer adds.

“I really identify with DIY, and even if one person shows up and likes it, that’s cool. I’ve never felt a sense of failure.”

Bradley and Schafer will stay on when Lenihan heads overseas for grad school in the coming weeks. It’s become important to the Etiquette team that the space remains alive, on the edge of what seemed untenable in Santa Fe even a few short years ago.

“I think art is honestly a game where you as the artist set the parameters and the rules of the game,” Lenihan says. “And if you play that game well—well, that might be good art.”

Primarily a music venue that’s hosted everyone from local champs like ppoacher ppoacher and Snaggletooth to touring titans like Xanthe Alexis and Diane Cluck, Zephyr also works in visual arts, collaborates with Alas de Agua and others and remains an adorably intimate yet prolific space.

Fifty Years of Free-Flow

F

or 50 years, 55 miles of the Rio Grande through an 800-foot-tall gorge—from where it crosses the Colorado state line to near Rinconada— have been shielded from dams and diversions by the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. What difference does it make for a river to be protected?

“In a way, you could say the biggest difference is that it has stayed the same,” says Tim Palmer, author and photographer for Wild and Scenic Rivers: An American Legacy, which includes images of the Rio Grande.

The Rio Grande was among the first eight rivers defended when President Lyndon B Johnson signed the federal law on Oct. 2, 1968. The legislation was championed by then-Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, whose son Tom now serves as a New Mexico senator. Previous decades had seen rampant damming and diversions, and Montanans John and Frank Craighead championed the idea of protecting some rivers as free-flowing.

“It marked a dramatic turning point in our official regard for rivers,” Palmer says.

“We went from thinking that any dam, anywhere, at any cost was worthwhile, to recognizing that the very best of our natural rivers should remain intact.”

Half a century later, the act’s protections have been applied to 12,734 miles of 209 waterways—about one quarter of 1 percent of the nation’s rivers. The nation’s 80,000 dams, by comparison, affect at least 17 to 20 percent of American rivers.

“If you protect miles of the river under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, it prevents that; it makes it basically off-limits for those dams and diversions,” says Jen Pelz, Rio Grande waterkeeper with WildEarth

Santa Fe expat Olivia Solomon played for any number of bands once she set out for Maine, but the call of the solo project proved too enticing, and her project Ghost Baby was born.

It’s a fairly apt name—Solomon’s emotionally charged tunes have hauntingly layered and reverb-heavy edges—and her gorgeous singing voice lays the foundation for something dark and special. “When I got started, I didn’t have any big plan laid out,” Solomon says of her sound, “I just needed a platform to release my grief—as long as that resonated with other people, that’s the most important thing.” Ghost Baby performs alongside SFR fave Jake Trujillo, Santa Fe’s KO and Austin, Texas-based SMiiLE.

THEATER MON/1-WED/10

And … Action!

Alternative viewpoints in one six-part play Theater is an art form built on tradition.

It has changed quite a bit in recent centuries, what with the advent of television and film—but there are still writers, actors and directors working together to produce performances based on these traditions.

“The form of the play is generally pretty predictable,” Tara Khozein, one of the four ensemble members of Theatre Grottesco, explains. “We’re used to that [linear] narrative form. We break those rules.”

Action at a Distance is different than any other theater production you’ve ever seen. There are six plays going on at once, and you only see a small part of each one. “There will be moments when you will feel connected with these people on stage,” she continues, “despite the fragmented nature of the piece.”

“This is a kind of theater where you have no idea what’s going to happen and it’s gonna be something you’ve never seen before,” John Flax, another actor in the production, tells SFR. “The audience is seeing parts of these plays that overlap onto each other. Where they intersect is where interesting things happen.”

The play is performed by the local experimental ensemble in collaboration with the Lisa Fay and Jeff Glassman

SFREPORTER.COM

Duo. Just last year, Theatre Grottesco performed PIE, another unusual play depicting the creation of the universe. (For those keeping score, PIE won SFR’s 2017 Billie Award for “Most Likely to Swing Wildly from your Heartstrings.”) The Fay Glassman Duo is an Illinois-based group that has been working together for 27 years, having performed such productions as Depth of a Moment: In Four Parts in both South Korea and the United States.

This month’s series of six open rehearsals put on display the teams’ collaboration on experimental and perhaps strange theatrical styles.

“That’s why it’s being done—it’s a contribution to a culture that is created by artistic works in any medium,” Glassman says. After the play, there will be an open discussion between the ensemble and the audience. “The audience is the one who should be able to reflect back to use and tell us, which is something we can’t do that they can,” he explains. “They should come in that spirit.” (Layne Radlauer) ACTION AT A DISTANCE 7 pm Mondays-Wednesdays Oct. 1-10.

ince moving here from Denver in May of last year, Kyle Gray has already become an integrated local, vital to the many facets of DIY culture and music. It seems only natural after creating inroads with local musicians and artists since 2010 through frequent tour stops with his excellent Denver-based workhorse band, Rubedo.

They’re one of those rare bands on the DIY touring circuit that stands out with a signature sound and a scope that stretches far beyond your typical warehouse noodlers. Picture a keyboard-rich, eclectic sound taking the standard rock palette and imbuing it with wonder; Rubedo has grown to be a nationally respected act, all while thriving in the ubiquitous unconventional art spaces and house show venues that make up the country’s more interesting corners of the music non-industry.

Santa Fe has always been an essential stop for Gray, even if shows varied drastically in attendance.

“Shows [in Santa Fe] were either hit or miss,” he recalls. “They would be a great house show where everyone’s enthusiastically dancing around a campfire, or it would be empty.”

But Gray expresses a love for such out-there venues, having helped build a strong community in Denver of simpatico outsider musicians and artists.

“[In Denver] we ran a place called Unit E, and then Dryerplex Studios. We would get together and make these spaces where our friends’ bands could play or friends could hang their art,” he explains.

“That’s what was so important to me, because I saw the community in that and we all grew together. Now that I’ve successfully come from that, I want to give back.”

Recognizing the already-vibrant DIY scene here in Santa Fe, Gray tried to find focus for his nearly inexhaustible enthusiasm.

“I ended up at Rockin’ Rollers; the stars aligned that way,” says Gray, who saw the venue sitting seemingly inactive on Agua Fría and was immediately curious.

Shows at Rockin’ Soon after, Jacob Chacko of Rollers are going local band Cult Tourist found an ad down again thanks in part to Kyle on Craigslist for a rehearsal space Gray. Huzzah! in the roller rink’s office spaces.

The Beginners began rehearsing and recording and, Breaking League, for example, is a youth soon after, Gray and Chacko pitched the dance organization that lost its former idea of throwing shows to Rockin’ Rollers home at Warehouse 21 (or Studio Center owners Bill Spencer and Robbyn Garden. or whatever the heck it’s being called The shows worked, even if attendance now)—but now has a space for its workwas varied, and Gray and others were shops on Wednesday evenings at 5:30.

As steam builds, Gray hopes to assemable to pay a rental fee to the venue and ble a larger crew of volunteers and raise offset it with a modest door charge.

“We were just playing through funds for better equipment in order to pieced-together PAs and a beat-up stage. “extend my reach out to people who But it would be with bands with the would want to become involved to see experience of also roller skating,” Gray this place thrive.”

Some of music’s most iconic moments recalls of the early forays into promotion.

“The shows would have momentum and have taken place in venues like this offenergy, even if only 15 people showed up beat, alien-themed (it bears repeating, dammit), black-lit roller rink. Some because they’re spinning around.”

JOHN BOLAND PHOTOGRAPHY

Painter and sculptor Matthew Mullins exhibits his new show, The Stars in Our Bones, at form & concept (5-7 pm Friday Sept. 28. Through Nov. 17. Free. 435 S Guadalupe St., 982-8111) this week, and we wanted to know more. Some of his paintings show stellar vistas paired with human anatomy; others lay abstract forms atop natural landscapes. His sculptures, meanwhile, are vivid and moving, showing off the curves and shapes of metal-glazed wood. (Layne Radlauer) Some of your pieces combine geometry and natural imagery. Why, and how?

I want to paint more of my experiences of these places rather than what they look like through photography. All of the paintings come from photos that I take, but I don’t just want to copy a photograph. The pattern gives an extra layer of information. It creates a rhythm in addition to the photograph imagery that helps describe my experience better. ... I want my art to be in tune with the other things in my life that give me joy, I’m trying to tie art with everything else that I love.

Volunteers Needed for Research Study

I’m a fan of your Graphite on Found Wood sculptures. How did you do that, and how long did it take?

It’s a very simple process, but very time-intensive. The found wood comes from ridges and summits, where the wind and the sun twists it into these shapes. I just take pencils and vigorously rub the graphite from the pencils into the wood. The pressure from the pencils burnishes the wood and cleans out all of the dirt and smooths it out into a different kind of surface. I cover every single wood fiber with graphite, so your eye can’t find a single spot where it’s obviously wood. It creates a transformative surface. The graphite accentuates all the details of the wood.

What pieces are you showing at form & concept? Is there an overarching theme?

The theme is trying to make art that can connect the viewer with nature and the cosmos.

A lot of pieces in the show are about how the materials in our own body are made of the stars, and how the elements that give us life and the ability to have consciousness come from the stars. I’m really trying to drive that point home. The title of the show, The Sun in Our Bones, comes from a poem by poem by Nayyirah Waheed, and really conveys what I’m trying to do with art.

BACK TO THE BARRIO: Barrio Analco Carlos Cervantes oversees restoration of murals in the historic Barrio Analco

BY ALICIA INEZ GUZMÁN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

s I snap the photograph, Carlos Cervantes says with a chuckle, “Listo para la revolución.” It’s his way of saying “Cheese!”—yet, there’s only a hint of a smile underneath his trademark mustache, thick and curled up at the ends just so. It’s facial hair, he says, that pays homage to figures like Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa, heroes of the Mexican Revolution who fought for land reform. Cervantes is indeed ready with his pinstripe fedora, Che Guevara T-shirt, and Locs sunglasses.

Behind him, the murals he’s dedicated his life to painting in Louis Montaño Park (on Alto Street just east of St. Francis Drive) unfold in terraces. Walls double as serpents, and figures from the Mexica calendar are painted in profile. Towards the top, the words “Analco, Nuestro Barrio Querido … Aztlan!” are emblazoned across one banco in red, green and white letter-

ing. Those murals, which he began in 1994 when the park was only a glimmer of an idea and the area was a vacant lot, are now under restoration.

Cervantes says his family has been living in the stretch of land that runs parallel to the Santa Fe River—Barrio Analco—for hundreds of years. The house where he lives is more like a compound, with high walls, arches and unfinished cinder block construction. The rest, he says, is “puro adobe,” knocking on the wall with the knuckle of his index finger to show me.

That barrio, where his family home lies, extended all the way up to San Miguel Mission, a church initially built for the Tlaxcalan people, some of whom who migrated northward from Mexico City with the Spanish after the Conquest. They settled just south of the River, while the Spanish settled on the Northside, where the Palace of the Governors was built. Analco, fittingly, translates in the Mexica language of Nahuatl, to “the land across the river.”

When he arrived in 1519, Cortez found himself in the Mexica state of Tenochtitlan, where he formed an alliance with the Tlaxcalan people against the Mexica (Aztec). The Tlaxcalans then equipped the Spanish with warriors who became essential to overthrowing the Mexica

Empire. As reward, the Spanish gave the Tlaxcalans protection, and allowed them to keep aspects of their pre-Columbian traditions. Later, as the Spanish pushed the frontier further north, the Tlaxcalans, some in wagon trains and others as servants and free laborers, came too, making their home in Barrio Analco.

Cervantes kneels with me on the ground in front of the park, paints laid out for the Sunday gathering of folks to help in the restoration. There’s a photo album laid out too, with pictures of Cervantes as a kid, awards he received for his art as early as 1965 and mementos from his life in prison at the State Penitentiary. He pulls down his sock to show me a few of the tattoos he etched into his own leg during those years.

Cervantes was even present during the notorious riots of 1980, where he helped protect some of the guards. For that, former Governor Toney Anaya commuted his sentence.

In the past 10 years, Cervantes had a stroke, which he says put him down “for a while.” But “I’m back,” he tells me, though at times words come slowly to him. Still, he’s there on the fifth Sunday in the course of a weekly effort toward restoring the murals—aided by Facebook invites—through the grassroots organization, Art for

Change (run by Moira Garcia) and word of mouth. The danzantes of the group Danza Tonantzín de Analco (named after the mother earth goddess, Tonantzín), including Garcia and Rosario Roybal, have also been helping in the effort. The group dances at the park every Tuesday evening and they consider the murals and grounds their home.

As he walks around, cane in hand, various attendees ask what color a part of the mural should be, or whether they could make a slight alteration to the original.

“Ponlo” is his answer, as he helps in applying the paint or gives advice on mixing color. “The mural is for the community, to say, ‘Chicanos are still here.’” Cervantes— muralista, maestro, community activist and now art consultant—in sum el gran mero mero.

Dr. Field Goods Kitchen Hidden within a run-of-the-mill strip mall in Midtown, eager diners will find Dr. Field Goods Kitchen, a local treasure and testament to locally sourced, farm-to-table ingredients transformed into dishes made well by owner/chef Josh Gerwin.

The small and unpretentious dining room screams laid-back, while the menu whispers, simply, “Eat me.” From hometown faves like enchiladas both veggie and meaty ($14-$18) and breakfast burritos stuffed with signature Field Good potatoes, a delightfully crispy interpretation of the home fry ($12.50), to Cuban sandwiches ($14.50), expertly fried fish served on coleslaw laden potato wedges ($14.75) and a full-on wood fire pizza menu ($13$16), there’s something for all. Daily specials entice; an evolving dessert menu ($7-$8) offers truffles, bread pudding and a creme brulee that changes flavor accents daily; and a robust draught list is scrawled on a blackboard. That all means it’s worth the sometimes-wait to get in. Go hungry, we say, but leave satisfied and surprised that such an unassuming eatery could boast such irregular and excellent delights. (Alex De Vore)

Arroyo Vino Much has been said about the Las Campanas establishment that SFR dubbed Restaurant of the Year in last year’s guide. Chef Colin Shane was a semifinalist for a James Beard Award in 2017, the 2-acre organic garden inspires its ever-evolving menu, and the adjacent wine shop is a destination for enthusiasts. The modern dining room is staffed by impeccable servers, who must know a menu that changes sometimes by the minute. We decided to challenge them: I was dying for the New York strip with mole negro and heirloom beans ($46), my companion decided on the Alaskan halibut with porcini mushrooms and sweet succotash ($39), and we wanted a bottle of wine that would go with both—for under $50. After consulting his colleagues, our server brought a 2015 blaufränkisch from Krutzler (Austria, $42). It started strong, with tannin enough to stand up to the best steak I’ve had in a while, but finished bright and, shockingly, almost invisible. The meal, which began with an earthy plate of garden sunflowers with mushrooms and barley ($14) and finished with exploding liquid truffles ($3 apiece) and bruleed cantaloupe with custard ($10), was nothing short of a three-hour vacation only minutes from home. (Charlotte Jusinski)

Loyal Hound Even in Santa Fe, there aren’t that many places you can sit down for quality food and bring your nonservice dog. Loyal Hound, operating on St. Michael’s Drive since 2014, saw a niche and has built a steady following in that space. If you want to bring your own pooch, however, you’ll miss the restaurant’s casual, midsized dining room because you’ll have to sit in the front patio area. After starting off with a house-made German-style soft-baked pretzel ($5), we ordered bison short rib nachos ($13) and Southern fried chicken and waffles ($15); a placid pit bull at a neighboring table eyed our dishes as our waitress set them down in front of us. The fried batter of the chicken soaked up the maple syrup, and was tasty stuffed alongside apple fennel cole slaw inside folded pieces of waffle like tacos. The bison meat was juicy and well-marinated, but there was so much of it that it felt like eating a pile of meat atop a heap of chips. Then again, my mutt Indy—who I regrettably didn’t bring this time around—would have leapt at the chance to help me finish my meal. (Aaron Cantú)

the Bay Area’s most beloved former pizza chefs, Sammy Mizirawi. The pitas in question are fluffy, organically shaped puffs of bread, with thick walls more reminiscent of the style from Israel than the thinner-walled counterparts preferred by the Lebanese. It’s baked in small ovens, cultured from a recipe for whole wheat pizza dough. No stabilizers or conditioners are used. The results are soft and fresh, particularly pleasing when served stuffed with thinly sliced pork and crunchy veggies and slathered in tzatziki sauce.

For liquid refreshment, sample a shrub ($3.95), a drink of fruit, vinegar and sugar topped with fizzy water. The origins of the drink go back centuries to Persia, where it served both as a means of preserving fruits in the absence of refrigeration, and as a medicinal cordial.

Schon and Riddle’s version provides notes of ripe, sweet fruit underscored by a slight vinegary tang. They use organic cane sugar and a rotating range of flavors such as peach and basil or honeydew and mint. It’s a delightful counterpart to the dense and luscious baklaY AR M va ice cream sandwich ($4.95), which is all at once delicately flakey and gooey with vanilla ice cream, honey and the crisp bite of walnuts and pistachios and a little fruity herbal kick courtesy of orange lavender syrup drizzled throughout. It’s decadent, but not overly so—and I leave satisfied but not stuffed, grooving with energy.

he cheerfully painted orange and red YummyTown Food Truck sits in the gravel parking lot at the corner of Paseo de Peralta and Old Santa Fe Trail with co-owner Joelle Riddle’s monster truck equivalent of a fat tire mountain bike chained to its right side.

“That’s my ride,” she chirps with a smile, passing me a paper plate filled with hummus, currant mint chutney, crispy garbanzo beans and pita bread through the window.

“We’re big mountain bikers,” she adds, indicating her partner Max Schon, who stands beside her, manning the rotisserie, grill and flat-top sandwiched inside the gleaming metal kitchen.

“It’s one of the reasons we moved to Moab, and then back to Santa Fe. We can’t get enough of the outdoors.”

The appetizer portion of hummus she serves ($4.95) comes topped with sheep’s milk feta and za’atar seasoning, a sumac and sesame seed concoction with an earthy, fragrant kick. For $2 more, Riddle recommends topping it with an organic fried egg, but I demur in favor of the lamb kofta as a follow up. The hummus is creamy and smooth, made with Soom tahini, from a women’s collective based out of Philadelphia. It makes a perfect counterpart to the sweet, minty chutney and crunchy chickpeas on top.

While YummyTown’s muse is Mediterranean cuisine, it only serves as a conduit for Schon and Riddle to deliver tender, well-cooked meats and seasonal produce

tziki and feta. It made up the bulk of the lunch I ate at a shady picnic table beside the truck. Sourced locally from New Mexico, the kofta comes rolled up almost like a skinless sausage, dripping with harissa and olive oil, wrapped in a pita and bed of satisfyingly crunchy romaine. There is also a chicken kebab with currant mint chutney for dipping, and tender, juicy

topped with fresh herbs and flavorful spices in the most effective way possible.

They’ve worked both sides of the service industry, with Schon paying his back of the house dues in restaurants across San Francisco, including a tenure at Michael Mina, home of the celebrity chef’s notoriously detail-oriented kitchen. Riddle worked as the front of house manager and supervisor in restaurants across Durango, Colorado, and Santa Fe, notably at Paper Dosa. After a short stint in the City Different, however, the two moved to Moab to pursue a lifestyle of rock-climbing and mountain biking, but this city has a way of pulling people back in.

And though YummyTown officially began in Utah a year ago, it found a more welcoming reception in Santa Fe’s foodie haven, where it opened its doors in mid-August to a wellheeled clientele more open to eating spicy meats out of edible bread plates.

“Moab gets a lot of visitors because of the national parks, but the local population is really small, and it’s not as foodie-forward as Santa Fe,” Riddle says.

Organic, free-range lamb, beef and pork are at the heart of the menu of classic Mediterranean staples, though vegetarians shouldn’t miss the falafel ($9.95-$11.95), which is fried to a delightful crispiness on the outside yet moist and chewable within. Everything else—with the exception of a za’atar spiced burger served with urfa chile aioli and spicy harissa ($9.95-$11.95)—is available served on a pita for $10.95 or on a bed of either saffron rice or fresh greens for $12.95.

For carnivores, there is the lamb kofta, pungent and spicy with Merguez seasonings and harissa, served with cooling tza-

Kusama: Infinity Review The life and times of Yayoi Kusama

10

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

We can’t decide if everyone knows Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama or if not enough people do, although we hear tell that over 5 million fans on social media regularly check up on the contemporary art mastermind. She probably wouldn’t care, however, and in the new documentary Kusama: Infinity from filmmaker Heather Lenz, we learn that lesson repeatedly.

Kusama, for those who don’t know, has a career-spanning fascination with dots, soft sculpture and conceptual weirdness that dates back to early letters penned to Georgia O’Keeffe, the eschewing of familial expectations and a daring move to New York City in the late 1950s—after which everyone from Oldenburg to Warhol shamelessly ripped her off. From the 1966 Venice Biennale (where she arrived, without invitation, to sell mirrored balls she labeled as “narcissism”) to arguably being the first artist to craft a mirrored room containing countless

+ FASCINATING AND HEARTBREAKING - MEN ARE THE FUCKING WORST

colored lights in a quest to represent the infinite, Kusama has been one step ahead of everyone practically always.

And yet she struggled—as a woman, as a Japanese person living in America, as an attempter of suicide and as an underappreciated force of nature. Lenz shows this brilliantly, mashing up film footage and decades of photography with modern-day interviews with gallerists, curators, Kusama’s friends and contemporaries and the woman herself. She calls Japan home again these days, living in a hospital but marching the two blocks to her studio almost every day.

The process is fascinating and the story itself enraging, but we also catch a glimpse of how Kusama influenced and continues to influence

the world of art throughout the ages. The tale is hardly pretty and the trials and tribulations were many, but genius always seems to come with a hefty price. And while we won’t pretend to understand Kusama’s thought processes and motivations entirely, we do know we appreciate them and her efforts; us and about 5 million others.

In other words, if you even think you like art, you must see this film. It’ll change how you think about everything.

+ WHAT A FUNNY, AMAZING WOMAN - LOOSE THREADS

Director Lisa Dapolito digs into the life of comedian Gilda Radner with newly discovered journal pages, audio diaries and home movie footage alongside interviews with Saturday Night Live and Second City alums for Love, Gilda, a charming if incomplete look at Radner’s life, career and ultimate death from cancer in 1989.

To many, Radner was the extremely funny character creator known for her work with National Lampoon and SNL. But those who weren’t alive (or old enough) during her ’70s and ’80s heyday might not realize she was about the most famous person on the planet for a time. In Love, Gilda, we learn her journey to such fame and sense of humor stemmed from deep insecurities such as struggling with her weight and concerns about her appearance, but we also discover the deep healing powers of humor and the pitfalls of notoriety and how these things fed into Radner’s concept of love up to and including her marriage to Gene Wilder.

Though it’s certainly interesting to hear from the likes of Amy Poehler, Melissa McCarthy, Bill Hader, Lorne Michaels and others on the

topic, we get a much better idea of how Radner affected other people than we do about the woman herself. Snippets of letters home and journal entries provide some context, but we never really know if she was close with her family after she became famous, if she was unsure of her ability or if she was proud of what

she accomplished—though these questions do get raised. Instead we scratch the surface, picking up just enough information to know Radner was always “on,” but not getting a clear idea of the specifics.

Clips from television and theater performances round out the film nicely,

however, reminding us without question that Radner was immensely talented even as she was often tortured. They don’t really make ’em like that anymore, folks, and it’s nice that she gets the spotlight again, we just would have liked to learn more about the nitty gritty.

Love, Gilda provides a kinda-sorta look into the life and career of the legendary Gilda Radner.

+ DOGS WITH JOBS! - YOU WANT A PUPPY NOW (OR MAYBE THAT’S A +?)

We could really sum this movie up in two sentences: The world is hard. Watch these puppies.

But there’s actually a lot more to the story of Pick of the Litter than puppy distraction.

The documentary follows a litter of Labrador retrievers from birth through training as guide dogs, as well as the people along the way who teach them and kiss them on their irresistible little heads. Meet Patriot, Potomac, Poppet, Primrose and Phil.

Guide Dogs for the Blind breeds roughly 800 puppies each year, but only about 300 pass the rigorous standards to become workers. Others get “career changed,” freed to have normal dog lives because some part of their demeanor isn’t suited for the important job.

The training process starts right away, while puppies are still taking adorable naps. After two months, they go home with puppy raisers who live with them for up to a year and teach them expected obedience skills with tutelage and regular check-ins with the program. Then, the dogs have to buckle down for 10 weeks of intensive training with professionals. One of the most impressive segments features cars that hurtle toward blindfolded walkers to test the dogs’ ability to keep the pedestrian safe. They end up better at this than your average human with a cell phone. Way better. The dogs are also really good at going to the airport, using an escalator and an elevator, and watching for steep drop-offs.

The narrative tension in the work is that, of course, of five puppies born at its start, not all make the cut. Cue tear-jerking moments when trainers have to say goodbye or get hard news from the clinical precision under which the program operates. Yet, the real climax happens when successful dogs are matched with sight-impaired people who need their help.

Some of them have been waiting for more than a year for the chance. How often do you know the very moment you’ve met your new best friend?

IT’S DUMB?

Director Shane Black jumps into the Predator franchise with yet another sequel or, like, entry in the universe. It’s a dumb sequel, too, but it’s dumb in all the ways you want an action movie to be, and given Black’s pedigree as director or writer for movies like Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout and far too many more to list, we were kind of betting on over-the-top action as opposed to high cinema.

It is the present, and one of those terrible, horrible, no-good, sometimes-invisible Predator aliens crash-lands on Earth with its dreadlocks in tow, and Army sniper Quinn McKenna (Narcos’ Boyd Holbrook) finds its stuff and mails it home. Why? Because, umm, he knows he’ll be detained by the shadowy alien hunter arm of the government and he wants to be able to prove he’s not crazy.

Following us? Word.

So anyway, McKenna totally does get detained, whereupon he winds up joining forces with a bunch of other reportedly crazy soldiers played by Thomas Jane and KeeganMichael Key and a few others who’ve also been classified as crazy. And then in turn they

FRUSTRATING CHARACTER ACTIONS

It’s possible the people behind the Conjuring series had the prequel in mind from the start when the first movie dropped in 2013, but a more likely explanation is that horror has enjoyed a major resurgence in the last decade and there was money to be made.

Enter The Nun, a prequel to four (!) other films and a fun, sometimes-scary late-summer popcorn flick starring what’s-her-face from American Horror Story (Taissa Farmiga, who of course is related to The Conjuring’s Vera Farmiga), some dude as a priest (Demián Bichir) and some other dude as the French Canadian version of deus ex machina (Jonas Bloquet).

Spooky goings-on abound in an ancient convent in the hills of Romania, so when a nun from the cloister offs herself (the ultimate sin in Catholicism, we’re told), the Vatican sends their best evil and/or miracles investigator to see what’s up. Turns out an evil presence has been tearing it up out there and messing with the hundreds of years of perpetual adoration maintained by the nuns. Supernatural devil stuff ensues with minimal hints to the principal characters’ back stories, subtle nods to the property’s outlying universe and any number of “Did that actually just happen?!” jump scares.

This makes The Nun feel exhilarating at times, even if it suffers from disjointed filler scenes that only seem to exist as setup to the run-ins with the demon, who appears as a sincerely frightening nun. It’s the eyes, y’know?

The eyes. Actors’ performances, meanwhile, are serviceable, though they usually have more to do with wide-eyed heavy breathing than actual acting; we get minimal information about demonology and something about the Knights Templar. Whatevs.

But we didn’t show up because we hoped for the contemporary horror equivalent of Citizen Kane—we showed up because the monster is scary, the jump scares are plenty and we need distractions from these waning warm days. Add another notch to your horror movie record for sure, and enjoy the spooks—just don’t think about anything too hard. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 96 min.

join up with a scientist who mostly just shoots guns instead of doing science (Olivia Munn), and everyone sets about fighting the Predator.

But, ruh-roh—an even crazier Predator shows up, and starts Predator-ing even harder; bullets, alien weapons, explosions and gore abound.

The Predator mainly suffers from a lack of exposition. Perhaps Black thinks we’ve been following the movies and comics since the 1980s or something, but those who go in cold will probably feel lost. Beyond that, there are scenes that leap jarringly to or from others that make little sense, and the comic relief feels more like the result of focus testing than it does an organic addition to the mayhem.

Holbrook is fine as the easily forgettable sniper caught between his bad luck and family, but we’re pretty ashamed for Munn, who has proven quite capable in other films and TV shows but here feels like a pointless addition.

Ditto for McKenna’s kid, a negligible character who may as well have been named Motivation in the script. There are also space dogs; literal space dogs. Ugh. Still, spines get ripped and faces get shot and the bigger, crazier Predator does make for some enjoyable fight scenes. Hold off until you can watch this at home and tear it apart with your friends. We promise you’ll like that better.

MOVIES cast (the last one was The Joy Luck Club in 1993, by the way, and Asians still remain the least-represented ethnicity in movies)—but with the release of the explosively popular Crazy Rich Asians from Now You See Me 2 director John M Chu, this alarming issue may change. Or at least be addressed better by Hollywood? Fingers crossed.

Representation matters—even if the underlying plot of the Kevin Kwan book-turned-movie follows a relatively formulaic plotline. Constance Wu (Fresh Off the Boat) is Rachel Chu, a young NYU econ professor who has fallen for the uber-charming Nick Young, heir to bazillions of family dollars, but who hasn’t told Rachel that he’s rich despite their year-long relationship—an interesting factoid she only discovers once the pair heads to Nick’s homeland of Singapore for a wedding. A seriously fancy-ass wedding.

Cue mild drama (she forgives him for not mentioning the rich thing pretty quickly) and jokes about how things sure are different over there.

Wu asserts her leading-lady position brilliantly, a comedic actor with a knack for sublime timing and who has proven her chops on television for years. Here she portrays a cool and up-for-anything type who bravely fields Young family drama from Nick’s mother (the talented and graceful Michelle Yeoh of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame), vindictive, jealous exes and petty rich types; get this woman in more projects immediately, someone.

Elsewhere, B-plot elements feel shoehorned in at best, particularly the crumbling marriage of Nick’s sister Astrid (Gemma Chan) and a wildly pointless role portrayed by Silicon Valley’s Jimmy O Yang. Henry Golding (who you probably don’t know yet) is serviceable as the handsome and apparently magnetic Nick (he hangs out at the YMCA and borrows Rachel’s Netflix password so, like, he’s not one of those rich people). As is the case with most characters, we get a primer in his deal within the film’s early minutes, though nobody outside of Rachel really develops beyond their baseball card stats. Community vet Ken Jeong is, as almost always, underused, even if his daughter (played by rapper Akwafina) does provide some of the most organically funny moments of the film. Nico Santos (of NBC’s Superstore) feels misused as well, a very funny actor who gets only a few lines that mostly just reaffirm that his character is gay.

But it’s fun to see sweeping aerial shots of Singapore, especially when used in conjunction with the over-the-top lifestyle of the Young family.

Fireworks happen, y’all.

And then eventually we’re fed a rom-com trope about Rachel and Nick’s undying love having nothing to do with money or status or making overbearing family members happy.

The sorta-kinda-twist, however, lies in the stark

reality of drastically differing social stations. This feels perhaps more true-to-life than plenty of the genre’s other examples, but still—wouldn’t you know it—love conquers all.

Thank goodness, then, for the fantastic music found throughout Crazy Rich Asians that generally comes in the form of hit American or British songs covered in Chinese. This really sets a tone that makes non-Asian viewers feel welcome but still out of our element, a seemingly small yet clever touch in a film that is definitely aiming for fun rather than high art. Hopefully, though, it won’t be another two decades before Asian filmmakers and actors get another shot at the big screen of this scope. Frankly, it shouldn’t have to be a novelty—and if Hollywood’s concern is that (white) audiences won’t get it, let this be a lesson to them: If you make it, we will come.

+ IMPORTANT HISTORY LESSON; BRILLIANT PERFORMANCES

- LITERALLY NOTHING BAD TO SAY

Spike Lee’s newest is a film that should make you break down sobbing—for the past, the present, and for the potential future, given this low point in human history. BlacKkKlansman so vividly and

powerfully captures our attention, taking us right up to the brink of hope before abruptly pulling us back down to reality; where racism is very much alive and well, where former KKK grand wizard David Duke can appear publicly, without fear, where protesters are run down for daring to point out that Black Lives Matter and where non-white Americans struggle daily for their very humanity.

America first? Fuck you.

John David Washington (Ballers) is Ron Stallworth, the real-life Colorado Springs detective who, in 1979, infiltrated the ranks of a local KKK chapter by simply making phone calls to local white supremacists and even David Duke himself (Topher Grace). Jewish officer Phillip Zimmerman (played here by Girls and Star Wars alum Adam Driver) poses as Stallworth for in-person goings on, and the small investigative team uncovers and thwarts an assassination attempt on a black student activist (Laura Harrier of Spiderman: Homecoming). It’s a fascinating bit of American history and the actual Stallworth even penned a book about it (Black Klansman: A Memoir)— though Lee’s version is dramaticized. Before now, Stallworth’s story was ultimately relegated to the trivia pile for most Americans. Hopefully this film changes that.

Washington is electric as Stallworth, his lifelong desire to be a cop at odds with his burgeoning radicalism. Can change occur from the inside?

Maybe so. Harrier wows as well, a strong black woman with a penchant for subtle vulnerability and a streak of well-earned rage. Even the white guys (some of ’em, anyhow) start to get it as best they can, but the racism rampant on the streets of Colorado Springs and within Stallworth’s department itself is shockingly casual—conditioned, maybe, but no less ugly. That casual hate grows bolder throughout the film, starting at something about how the Klan “is non-violent” and culminating in cross-burning and explosives among intense, heartbreaking, powerfully delivered lessons in black history. Corey Hawkins as Kwame Ture alone is worth watching.

But it’s not all heavy doom and gloom. There is pain, shock and awe, yes, but artfully chosen moments of levity punctuate the more challenging elements and the editing and pacing are damn near perfect. And we should never look away, even if BlacKkKlansman proves hard to watch—especially for white people, and rightly so. If the events of Charlottesville or the similar re-rise of no-longerafraid white supremacists haven’t clued you in to how the fight must continue, perhaps pop culture will. Either way, there’s a lot to learn and a lot to consider here thanks to Lee’s masterful filmmaking and the real Stallworth’s incredible achievements. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 135 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of September 26th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you have any skills at living on the edge between the light and the dark? Are you curious about what the world might look like and how people would treat you if you refused to divide everything up into that which helps you and that which doesn’t help you? Can you imagine how it would feel if you loved your life just the way it is and not wish it were different from what it is? Please note: people less courageous than you might prefer you to be less courageous. But I hope you’ll stay true to the experiment of living on the edge between the light and the dark.

and plants that have existed for millennia. But they’ve never before been noticed and identified by science.

Among recent additions to our ever-growing knowledge are an orchid in Madagascar that smells like champagne, an electric blue tarantula in the Guyana rain forest, and a Western Australian grass that has a flavor resembling salt and vinegar potato chips. I suspect you’ll be making metaphorically comparable discoveries in the coming weeks, Libra: evocative beauty that you’ve been blind to and interesting phenomena that have been hiding in plain sight.

ments that life will be sending you, you need to at least temporarily cultivate a mood of crafty optimism.

new cycle of growth that will begin in a few weeks.

To accomplish the assign- and recharging. That’s the best way to prepare for the accepted 505-501-0439 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you were ever going to win a contest that awarded you a free vacation to an exotic sanctuary, it would probably happen during the next three weeks. If a toy company would ever approach you about developing a line of action figures and kids’ books based on your life, it might also be sometime soon.

And if you have ever had hopes of converting your adversaries into allies, or getting support and backing for your good original ideas, or finding unexpected inspiration to fix one of your not-so-good habits, those opportunities are now more likely than they have been for some time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini regent Queen Victoria (1819–1901) wore crotchless underwear made of linen. A few years ago, Britain’s Museums, Libraries, and Archives Council accorded them “national designated status,” an official notice that means they are a national treasure. If I had the power, I would give your undergarments an equivalent acknowledgment. The only evidence I would need to make this bold move would be the intelligence and expressiveness with which you are going to wield your erotic sensibilities in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’ve taken a break from socializing, my fellow Cancerian. In fact, I’m on sabbatical from my regular rhythm. My goal for the coming days is to commune with my past and review the story of my life. Rather than fill my brain up with the latest news and celebrity gossip, I am meditating on my own deep dark mysteries. I’m mining for secrets that I might be concealing from myself. In accordance with the astrological omens, I suggest that you follow my lead. You might want to delve into boxes of old mementoes or reread emails from years ago. You could get in touch with people who are no longer part of your life even though they were once important to you. How else could you get into intimate contact with your eternal self?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): An 81-year-old Capricorn man named James Harrison has donated his unique blood on 1,173 occasions. Scientists have used it to make medicine that prevents Rhesus disease in unborn babies, thereby healing more than 2.4 million kids and literally saving thousands of lives. I don’t expect you to do anything nearly as remarkable. But I do want to let you know that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to lift your generosity and compassion to the next level.

Harrison would serve well as your patron saint.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On a spring morning some years ago, a smoky aroma woke me from a deep sleep. Peering out my bedroom window into the backyard, I saw that my trickster girlfriend Anastasia had LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here’s a quote from A Map of built a bonfire. When I stumbled to my closet to get Misreading, a book by renowned literary critic, Harold Bloom: “Where the synecdoche of tessera made a total- dressed, I found my clothes missing. There were no garments in my dresser, either.

I’m not being anti-intellec- Anastasia’s conflagration. It was too late to intervene, tual when I declare this passage to be pretentious driv- and I was still quite drowsy, so I crawled back in bed el. In the coming days, I urge you Leos to draw inspira- to resume snoozing. A while later, I woke to find her standing next to the bed bearing a luxurious breakfast tion from my response to Bloom. Tell the truth about she said she’d cooked over the flames of my burning nonsense. Don’t pretend to appreciate jumbled or over-complicated ideas. Expose bunk and bombast. Be clothes. After our meal, we stayed in bed all day, indulging in a variety of riotous fun. I’m not predicting kind, if you can, but be firm. You’re primed to be a that similar events will unfold in your life, Aquarius. champion of down-to-earth communication.

My research suggests you. 1. Was there a time in your past when bad romance that while Capricorns tend to be the most consistently wounded your talent for love? Yes, but you now have productive of all the signs in the zodiac, Virgos often more power to heal that wound than you’ve ever had outstrip them for a six-week period during the end of before. 2.
