The range would need to be managed in some capacity and not left vulnerable to vandalism, or it will just create a worse problem.

Another option (which I am not sure why it is not being considered) would be to construct a range further west on Caja del Rio that is further away from residences.

With this option, the Camel Tracks and road access to them could be eliminated and the area totally converted to trails and off-road vehicle access.

LAURA HALL SFREPORTER.COM Editor’s note: The Department of Game and Fish issued the following statement after presstime: “We hope the application process including public scoping, which will be handled by the BLM, can completed in the next six months with construction soon to follow. Santa Fe County currently does not have a regulated shooting range for public use. The range would offer the public a safe, clean, family-friendly, environment for target shooting.”

GO WEST I live in Cieneguilla and think the shooting range could be a good idea. The Camel Tracks as they stand are a nuisance, and a BLM shooting range might curb the negative aspects of shooting in the area.

More like popularity-gram Photo sharing site’s upcoming algorithm shift sets off panic among cultural promoters

@PALOMINOCIMINO @SHIPROCKSANTAFE

MARIA EG O LF- RO M E RO mari a@s fre p o r te r.co m

T

he thing that makes Instagram instant is changing. The photo-sharing app is rolling out a new algorithm that places popular photos above recent ones, altering the chronological nature of your feed for the first time since the app went mainstream in 2011. Even though Instagram tells SFR the algorithm is still in the testing phase and the change won’t be official for “weeks, or even months,” many users are worried now.

For Northern New Mexico’s cultural promoters, Instagram is more than a photo-sharing app. Leatherworker Sessann Orne lives north of Taos and, as a rural artist, relies on the app in its current format, and her nearly 11,000 followers of @threearrowsleather, to sell her handmade leather jewelry and bags.

“I live north of Taos, off the grid. So I completely rely on social media platforms to share what I am doing,” she tells SFR. “I am very nervous about this whole thing.”

Unknown or up-and-coming artists, musicians, designers, businesses and individuals fear they could lose a platform for discovery if the popularity-based algorithm pushes their accounts to the end of user feeds.

“We all have something to benefit by people paying attention to Santa Fe,” says Amy Tischler, co-curator of the locally based Instagram account @simplysantafenm. Caitlin Jenkins, Tischler’s business partner, says, “We met through the platform and starting utilizing it, and it became something really special.” The Santa Fe-centric account for the business that offers consulting and manages social media accounts for others has nearly 14,000 followers at presstime, and

with many who have addresses in places like New York City, Italy and Peru, that is a lot of attention being paid to Santa Fe. “Every single day we have people come in because of Instagram,” says Zoila Cleaver, social media manager and sales associate at Shiprock Santa Fe. The Plaza gallery has 13,300 followers on its account, @shiprocksantafe. “We have really been able to expand our audience and our client base because of it. I have seen our followers grow exponentially in just the last year,” Cleaver says. “We have people all of the time that say, ‘We were driving across the country, and one of the reasons we wanted to come to Santa Fe was to come see you.’”

“The way it is right now allows everyone to have that moment,” says Bri Cimino, who runs a horseback riding business with her boyfriend in and around Santa Fe. She says the nearly 8,000 followers she has on Instagram’s @palominocimino boost her business.

“Someone might be flipping through their feed and see people on a horseback ride in Abiquiú,” Cimino says, “and they might be inclined to reach out, just based on their Instagram feed.”

The budding fine artist had her first show in Los

Angeles recently with a group she connected with on Instagram. “One specific artist found me because he was interested in horses. He paints horses and horseback riders, and when he and his wife visited Santa Fe, he contacted me through Instagram to come out and ride, which led him to discovering that I am pursuing a fine art lifestyle, and they invited me to debut my work at this show.”

Tischler says she is skeptical that the new algorithm will bring ruin to Instagram’s vibe. “It’s not quite the Facebook algorithm, where you literally just don’t see all of the posts that everybody does,” she says, “so it does change it, but it doesn’t do away with the work someone is doing.”

Instagram writes in its blog that the adjustment it’s making to your feeds is in your favor, saying, “See the moments you care about first.”

Pro tip: Insiders say you can give this new algorithm the tech finger by turning automatic updates off in the settings of your smartphone. But there’s no solid proof this strategy will work for long, if at all.

SHE FLEW SOLO

PHOTOGRAPHER ANNE NOGGLE TAKES FLIGHT IN MUSEUM RETROSPECTIVE

I

BY ELIZABETH MILLER elizabeth@s frepor ter.com

For “Self-Image in Cochiti Lake” (1975), Noggle’s longtime photo assistant Jim Holbrook held the camera as a “human tripod.”

n the last self-portrait she made before her death, photographer Anne Noggle has all but disappeared. Her hand, its skin creased, thin and pale, holds a white mask cast from her face and filled with glass eyes, their gaze turned down. Even in those empty eyes, the sadness and toughness of age and wear comes through, heavy and hard.

By then 80 years old, Noggle had spent nearly half a century taking photographs, first of familiar places, then familiar faces, a few of strangers, then that most familiar of all— her own. The story she’d captured was one she often referred to as the “saga of the fallen flesh,” calling it “gravity seeking gravity, the something in us that wants to die.” She had a fascination with aging faces and the lifetimes etched into them, which also had to do with reclaiming notions of power and beauty for those often cast-off aging women. As Katherine Ware, New Mexico Museum of Art’s curator of photography, dug into Noggle’s life for a retrospective of her work to open April 2, she asked a niece still living in Albuquerque, where Noggle made her home for the second half of her life, whether her aunt had ever photographed her.

“No,” Ware recounts the niece saying. “I was too young.”

Noggle was 38 when she began her photography work while enrolled at the University of New Mexico for a bachelor’s and then master’s degree, and she still found time to become the New Mexico Museum of Art’s first photography curator, adding some 700 images to the museum’s collection and notably co-curating a traveling exhibit of women photographers, and receive a Guggenheim Fellowship, three National Endowment for the Arts awards, and an honorary doctorate from UNM. She was also a lecturer at UNM and the author of three books, two on female air service pilots (first the WASPs from the US and then their Russian equivalent), and one, Silver Lining, of her photographs, including a series of portraits of couples for which the book is named.

The list of influences she credited in her Master of Arts thesis runs far shorter than her explanation of the camera gear she chose to use. Her debts are to one photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson, whose work, she wrote, so overwhelmed her that she stopped taking photos for several days; to one professor, Van CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Deren Coke, for teaching her to see the “vast gulf between what we think we see and what is actually there,” and who would write in the foreword for Silver Lining how he had lamented her choice to shift from art history to photography, but that her eye for faces and her ability to capture the essence of a personality made that choice obvious and inevitable. But first, she listed the poet Robert Creeley, who taught her that “earthshaking events, although they appear to be the sum total of man’s nature, don’t have the significance or the reality inherent in the multitude of seemingly insignificant events taking place everywhere, all the time.”

Those seemingly insignificant places and events dominated her work for the following decades, which she spent in living rooms and bedrooms, in intimate spaces, capturing the small glimpses of lives that somehow render them huge and timeless. Flying solo, she piloted her own work quietly and often alone but always with an eye on a broader stroke of meaning, and often reasserting the purpose and beauty of women as they age in ways that, decades later, we still need to be reminded of.

In the years since her death in 2005, Noggle’s work has only slipped further from the appreciation and recognition it’s due. Her life story as a woman who lived in radical feminist ways before “feminist” was a title anyone wore, who pioneered a life for herself in so many ways, who made bold and intensely personal photographic work her second career after 11 years as a pilot, has also slipped into the abyss. In this exhibition, Assumed Identities: Photographs by Anne Noggle, she’s reintroduced to the state she chose as her home.

The story goes that Noggle saw Amelia Earhart while she was growing up near the Chicago suburb where she was born, and that Earhart inspired her to pursue a career as a pilot. Her mother, who also worked, supported her in that effort, and Noggle had a pilot’s license before she’d even finished high school. She went on to become a Women’s Airforce Service Pilot (WASP) during World War II, eventually becoming a captain in the US Air Force. For years, that was her career. She flew in Europe, became a stunt pilot, and worked as a crop duster, loading her own plane with DDT to spray over the fields. After lung issues—likely caused by the insecticide she dusted crops with—led to her discharge in her late 30s on disability, she took her GI Bill and went right to New Mexico, a place she’d visited as a pilot and knew she wanted to make her home. There, she enrolled at UNM to study art history, convincing her mother, Agnes, and sister, Mary, to relocate to the state as well.

At the time, curators had to make their own slides and needed darkroom skills to do it, so Noggle had to take a photography class. It shifted her course.

“I fell passionately in love with another machine, the camera,” she said in a speech to the class of 1983 at the Portland School of Art in Maine. She saw this new machine demand the same qualities as the planes she’d flown: independence, optimism and dumb courage.

“Like the flying machine, you have to be attentive to the mechanics of it; then you are again free in your mind to act and think about images,” she said. “You see through the viewfinder but also through your

“Homage to Meatyard” (1986) gives a nod to Ralph Eugene Meatyard, whom Noggle’s teacher Van Deren Coke knew well.

experiences and through whatever synthesis your mind has formed from those experiences. Living, in itself, doesn’t have a value for you as an artist unless what you have thought and done—the fright and delight and the gin and sin and children and morning light and all the rest—ride in your insides and ferment and come together.”

Assumed Identities explores that process for her, as she first turned her camera on life around her, photographing her own bed, her car with her dog walking alongside it, a rest area, a row of garage doors, a dam, her mother and sister seated in La Posada, the offices at the UNM art department.

“I wanted to show her finding her way to her voice—and she does that pretty quickly,” Ware says. This first revisitation of Noggle’s work since her death mounts some of the nearly 100 pieces of her work in the museum’s collection. Ware aims to get out of the way and let her speak for herself, drawing much of the interpretive material

she called her tolerance for her daughter’s photographs a gift to her, but she never wanted to see them.

Increasingly, Noggle turned the camera on herself, in part to spare those she knew from the rigors of posing to visually create an idea she had in mind. But toying with her camera and taking photos of herself also became a way of staving off boredom during her frequent drives between Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

The extremes she went to only became more pronounced. Images show her leaping from her hot tub, wearing only her eyeglasses and bracketed by appreciative young men, curled on a rainforest floor near Seattle, and submerged in Cochiti Lake, adorned only in a string of pearls. She often flashed the camera at glimpses of her nude body, and sometimes stood full frontal to it, naked against a canyon backdrop or holding her dog to her pendulous and bare breasts.

face, and it’s interesting to see the changes and reverse them but at the same time see that they’re taking place anyway,” she said in a later interview. “If I am shown in my face-lift as attempting to stave off the visible aging process, it is also an indication of what an exercise in futility that is.”

She deemed those who wouldn’t want to be photographed as they aged because time had weathered how they once knew themselves to look “small-spirited people.”

When asked about the difficulty of the face-lift series—from a viewer’s perspective—in a 1993 interview for Art Journal, in which photography curator Anne Wilkes Tucker points out, “Those are tough pictures. I’ve watched people turn away from them,” Noggle replied, “Well, they probably turn away from life too, and from their own mirrors.”

“I like older faces, not because of aging itself, but rather the look of the face, the revelation of life, and the conflict between what was and what they are now,” she told Tucker. “That interests me, not the idea of aging itself.”

She’d likely have said similar things about feminism. What interested her was living her life the way she wanted to, as a pilot and a photographer. She was less concerned with the political gesture her life made than she was with simply living it.

“She’s not talking the liberated talk,” Ware says, “but she was living it the whole time. She was living it before the movement started.”

While Noggle was recovering from those lung surgeries, an aspiring photographer moved in next door to her and began taking any excuse to spend time with her, to contract her contagious, childlike curiosity for the world and her enthusiasm for photography.

“I just wanted to be in her presence, and she knew that, and she liked it,” says Jim Holbrook, then a selfdescribed “dumb kid from a small town in Ohio.” “I helped her do stuff she wasn’t able to do for herself and would do stuff for her no one else would do.”

The surgeries left her, he says, with scars around her rib cage, as though someone had clipped her angel wings. He’d come over to wash her plate glass windows or talk about photography, and she would spread her photographs across the floor around the recliner where she was convalescing. Her advice to him was to go to school if he wanted to do anything with his photography, and so he did—at UNM, where she was teaching, and she became a mentor to him

SHE FLEW SOLO

“Face-lift, No. 3” comes from a series of self-portraits taken in 1975.

If I am shown in my face-lift as attempting to stave off the visible aging process, it is also an indication of what an exercise in futility that is. and an advocate for his work. Her classroom on the first day was often encircled with students hoping to snag a spot in the class when someone else dropped out, he recalls.

Their friendship continued for more than 30 years and often saw him hauling her gear and even standing in as a human tripod for her, snapping the shutter on photos she’d set up. “But,” he’s quick to clarify, “we are told what to do when we point the camera at Anne.”

The epigraphs Noggle wrote in her books trended toward cheeky, sending “a passing kiss to the photographers who have liked or not liked my work, for they too have had a hand in shaping it,” at the start of Silver Lining. But at the beginning of For God, Country, and the Thrill of It, on WASPs, she sends the passing kiss to history, and to Holbrook, gratitude “for his un-

stinting help and encouragement.”

His Albuquerque home is still laced with traces of her—a bronze cast of her face, a poster from a museum exhibit that features “Reminiscence,” a portrait of her and her sister with their hands at either side of their faces, pulling the skin taut—“as though we could take these masks off our faces and reveal some cute youthful thing,” she said at the 1986 lecture at the museum—her gold-plated dog tags, more than 30 hours of video from interviews she conducted with Russian female pilots that Holbrook assisted her with, and box after box of her gelatin silver prints and contact sheets.

During an interview with one of the Russian pilots, the woman she was interviewing asked Noggle if she had any children.

FROM THE COLLECTION OF JIM HOLBROOK

Holbrook says this was Noggle’s last self-portrait, taken in 2002, just months before Noggle suffered a debilitating stroke.

Give

the BEST of

Your Love

“No. I have some boys, like this one,” Noggle said, gesturing to Holbrook, who was holding her video camera to record the conversation.

“Young men are wonderful.”

Their partnership saw him joining her on overseas trips, not just the half-dozen she made for the book on Russian female pilots, but to Italy to see Renaissance masters, and to Eastern Europe just months after the Berlin Wall came down. They had the kind of friendship that meant finishing one another’s sentences and, on several occasions, dialing one another simultaneously, so he picked up the phone receiver to call her only to hear her already saying, “Hello?” In the end, he says, following her “seemed like the logical thing to do.”

“When I think about her, the whole world suddenly just gets expansively huge, and the sky gets bluer,” he says.

He fills in what others can only speculate. Yes, she was gay. And yes, there were lonely years in which she believed she’d never find someone to love after those she had loved before had died. From a white sheet of paper scrawled with notes, he recalls the stories that shaped her, the brushes with fame and celebrities, and the pull of her friendship and gravitational tug of her that was so potent he left off his own work for a decade and just assisted in making hers happen.

Though she never wanted to rehash the past in her personal life, always plowing ahead beyond any disputes and hurt feelings to issue the next dinner invitation and seek out the next adventure, he saw her seeking out the sky time and again, in one form or another. She offered to pay for flying lessons for him, likely so she could regain access to

the air, and in their many trips to the Soviet Union, he watched her seamlessly step across the language barrier to find a commonality with women who had also served and risked their lives. There was a piece of her that never ceased to be a pilot, to seek out chances to return to that version of herself, the one that could spot a sleek bomber and covet its speed, knowing how it felt. She wasn’t sentimental about it, Holbrook says—she didn’t look back on it with some gleam of sweetness and kindness that wasn’t there. But she did have a longing for those days, for the fun and the thrill of it.

“She did things that were real, that she actually did before there was feminism, before the feminist movement happened. She didn’t call herself a feminist or anything that came along in the early ’70s.

She’d already done all that stuff,” Holbrook says. “She didn’t think about, ‘I’m a woman and I’m doing something that’s going to be unique.’ I don’t think any of that occurred to her.”

When she opened her address to the 1983 class from the Portland School of Art in Maine, Noggle said, “I have been thinking about you … and what I could tell you that might come back to you at some time when you especially needed a lift. In truth I didn’t know whether to talk about art or peanut butter sandwiches! They both feed us. The real feast is life itself.”

One Times Two Broomdust and Bent make beautiful music you can dance to,” he says. “I suspect they’ll come off as even sadder with just my voice, guitar and a violin.”

Indeed, the man’s low Johnny Cash timbre can certainly convey emotion, and it ought to prove even more moving when we hear it at the forefront of a song. Similarly, Bent has often culled from her own experience but in a way that surpasses the “I liked someone who didn’t like me” building blocks of every damn song ever written, for a soul-baring glimpse into the events of her life that formed her.

“I’m accumulating songs by the day [and] mainly focusing on this renewed energy for life in general,” Bent tells us.

“Having gone through the loss of the closest person to me and the dark period, I really feel more enlightened and inspired than ever.” (Alex De Vore)

Y’know, it’s only a little weird that they do variety shows and music at the Jean Cocteau Cinema. I mean, it’s a movie theater first and foremost in the hearts of many. Despite that, there’s a lot to be said for George RR Martin’s resurrected venue’s decision to include non-film events and seated concerts.

The whole concept comes down to how everybody’s favorite living fantasy author did that thing we all say we’d do if we were to suddenly become baz­zillionaires: He started making things in his town cool.

Anyway, let’s talk about this upcoming show here with Eryn Bent (above) and Johny Broomdust. Each is probably best known as the leader of their respective bands, but they’re stripping down to a duo apiece for this one, folks, and you know what that means—a healthy dose of introspection. Which is great, because everyone knows sad songs are the best songs, and stuck-up bands like Katrina and the Waves telling you how much better than you they feel is the pits. Take Mr. Broomdust’s performance, for example.

Press Record The professional’s unprofessional

BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex

B

ack when I was a lad, just straight sucking at music in some dumb punk band, when we were ready to record and had little money to do so, we’d hit up David Cragin and his Santa Fe Soundworks studio (1808 2nd St., Ste. H, 501-4426). Not only was it a cost-effective means to get some tracks down, Cragin was the kind of guy who’d encourage experimentation and creativity.

We’re not talking Rick Rubin levels of production “assistance” wherein the guy at the sound board is practically rewriting songs, but Cragin has cobbled together a pretty massive collection of audio odds and ends to create a widely varied and interesting playground for record production.

This is a guy who teaches Audio Technology at the United World College in Montezuma and Northern New Mexico College in Española, has previously worked as an engineer and keyboard tech for Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo (they did Dead Man’s Party for all y’all who might not know) and came up through the ranks at a time before anyone with a laptop could slap together an album in their bedroom with ease.

Cragin even did some uncredited work on Beck’s hit-making 1994 album, Mellow Gold. And no matter how super-cool that all sounds, it pales in comparison to the philosophy he’s cultivated through working with these people. By the time he opened his doors at Santa Fe Soundworks 20-some-odd years ago, he had a way of doing things that shirked the cold, clinical approach of many modern recording studios in favor of more spontaneous practice.

“I like stuff that’s funky, and I sort of like this idea of being ‘unprofessional,’” he says. “As soon as you start being too professional, or if I can’t mess around with something, it’s like there’s no soul.”

This mentality has proven to be an asset to certain clients and also in his Frankenstein-like approach to combining instruments and equipment as well as the

David Cragin lays down some whammy bar tales.

building of his own guitars. Cragin has compiled tons of gear from yard sales, Craigslist, eBay and places like The Black Hole in Los Alamos, a bizarre bazaar of salvaged machine materials too varied in use to recount here.

“I want to make available to clients all the weird equipment I’ve found over time,” Cragin says with a laugh. “I love finding and having something that nobody or no other studio has, and this also lets me come up with some weird recipe of guitar, pedal, amp or whatever for recording.”

Of course, Cragin doesn’t exist to tell people how to create or where to direct their music; more like he’s got a great ear for what musicians want and acts as the curator/custodian of forgotten equipment and an army of custom guitars all ready to be utilized in creating one’s masterpiece.

“I’m never gonna try to put my big stamp on something, but I encourage people to get creative in the process,” he says. “Sometimes that happens live, sometimes it’s better when you build it up like a layer cake. … I mean, if you’re going to want me to make your record sound like Fall Out Boy, that may not

happen, but I’ve done everything to make this work, and I really look at recording like an art.”

This sort of studio atmosphere may not be for everyone, but can the opportunity for play really be underestimated here? Cragin points out that when musicians decide to self-record, they generally find themselves up against a sea of technology.

“Reading through manuals and trying to learn this stuff can mean you’re switching from the right brain to the left brain and out of creative mode,” he points out.

“I’ve seen it before when a song can be overthought and overworked, and I’ve found that ideas are usually best when they’re fresh, and that’s why I think writing in a studio is a great thing; there’s almost nothing like four or five guys in a room drinking beer and yelling at each other and getting songs down.”

It’s about more than making tracks, anyway.

There’s a ritualistic aspect to the recording of music, especially with a great engineer/producer like Cragin. That recording experience seems to be drying up everywhere, and that’s just plain sad.

“If anybody is feeling creative and wants to make a record, I’m their man,” he adds. “It’s shamanistic.”

THE CALENDAR ass while they finish themselves off—or, hell, offer to go get ’em ice cream. Whatever helps!

Porn is so accessible today. How has it affected society?

I was honored to speak at JCCSF—Jewish Community Center of San Francisco—last week as a part of their “Uninhibited: About Sex” lecture series. The audience submitted questions on cards, which were ably put to me by Jourdan Abel, who was wearing a wonderful uterus-themed sweater. (Check out my Instagram account—@dansavage—to see Abel’s sweater!) Here are some of the questions submitted by the uninhibited JCCSF audience that Abel and I didn’t manage to get to during our conversation.

I had the best sex of my life with my ex. He fucked me hard, had a huge cock, and made me eat his come with a spoon. I loved it. Needless to say, we were incompatible in other ways. My current BF is vanilla. Very. Vanilla. When I masturbate, I think about my ex and can’t help but wish my current guy would make me slurp his come up from a utensil. We are very compatible in other (non-sex) ways. Am I doomed to fantasize about my ex?

You are—unless you open up to your current BF about what’s missing in your sex life and/or get his permission to get your hard-fucking/spoonfeeding needs met elsewhere.

How do you combat homophobic remarks in a culture that condones and promotes homophobic tendencies?

You combat homophobia—and misogyny, its big sister—one terrified middle-schooler at a time.

Bearing in mind, of course, that “terrified middleschooler” is a state of mind, not an age bracket.

Got any advice for a bi girl, formerly submissive, who wants to start dominating men?

Move to San Francisco—oh, wait. You’re already in San Francisco. Leave the house—get involved in local kink orgs, if you aren’t already involved, check out local sex-positive events (bawdystorytelling.com is a great place to start), and let people know what you’re looking for. There’s no shortage of submissive guys in the Bay Area, and no shortage of dominant women up for mentoring women who are curious about topping.

In gay male relationships, what can you say about the psychological boundary between being Alpha in the world and beta in bed?

The boundary between Alpha In World/Beta In Bed is pretty fucking porous—it’s not studded with guard towers, barbed wire, and death strips, à la the Berlin Wall. (Google it, kids.) That boundary only exists in our heads. And once we get that fact through our thick heads, not only do we discover that the Alpha/beta boundary is easily crossed, we quickly learn that crossing it repeatedly—brutally and joyfully violating it at will—is a total blast.

Is Savage your real last name? It’s mine, too! My mother kept her maiden name, I took her name, and she’s a sex therapist! We’re both huge fans.

Could you say hi to Dr. Linda Savage? She’ll die!

Hi, Dr. Linda Savage! Please don’t die.

What do you do when you can’t make your partner come?

Me? I hand him back his dick and go get myself some ice cream—but you shouldn’t do what I do when you can’t make your partner come. Here’s what you should do: Keep trying, ask your partner what they need, and encourage them, if need be, to “finish themselves off” (without pouting, without laying a guilt trip on them about how they’ve made you feel inadequate, and without treating them like they’re broken). Cheerfully offer to hold ’em or play with their tits or eat their

MARCH 30-APRIL 5, 2016

One positive effect (among many): Porn’s wider accessibility forced us to stop pretending there’s one kind of sex—heterosexual, man-on-top— that absolutely everyone is interested in. Thanks to the Interwebs, we can track what people are actually searching for (it’s not all hetero), where they’re searching for it (a shout-out to the great state of Utah, which has the highest porn consumption rates per capita in the nation!), and how long they’re lingering over it (long enough to finish themselves off).

One negative effect (among many): The ubiquity of porn coupled with the general lousiness of sex education—in the United States and Canada—has resulted in porn doing something it isn’t designed to do and consequently does not do well. And that would be, of course, educating young people about sex. If we don’t want porn doing that, and we don’t, we need to create comprehensive sex ed programs that cover everything—hetero sex, queer sex, partnered sex, solo sex, gender identity, consent, kinks, and how to be a thoughtful, informed, and critical consumer of porn.

What is the one thing that concerns you most about the current political climate/election cycle?

Donald Trump getting the Republican nomination. I’m not at all concerned about the potential destruction/implosion of the GOP—those fuckers have it coming—but with the likelihood of political violence. I’m concerned that black and brown people—Mexicans, Muslims, African Americans—will be subjected to more political/ social/economic violence than they already are.

People will die as a direct result of Trump getting the GOP nomination. This is a terrifying moment.

What kind of sexual fluid or act would you name after Donald Trump?

Trump, as I pointed out in a previous column, already has an alternate/more accurate meaning. There is no authority higher than the Oxford English Dictionary, and here’s what you’ll find under “trump” at oed.com: “in reference to a sound like a trumpet… the act of breaking wind audibly.” So remember, kids, when you see Donald Trump standing in front of a microphone…

Trump isn’t talking. He’s trumping.

What is the etiquette when it comes to social media and open relationships?

It all depends on the preferences of the couple/ throuple/quad/squad in question. If a particular couple, etc., wants to maintain the appearance of being monogamous, if they want to avoid stigma, judgment, freaked out parents, etc., then they’re not going to want evidence of their open relationship popping up all over Facebook and/ or Instagram. If there’s internal disagreement in a particular couple/throuple/quad/squad about keeping things quiet on social media, not outing the person(s) who want to keep things discreet may be the price of admission their other partners have to pay.

What was your favorite aspect of the orgy held in honor of your 50th birthday?

The fact that I wasn’t invited. #NotAnOrgyFan “Uninhibited: About Sex” continues at the JCCSF through the end of May. Upcoming speakers and events include Esther Perel, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, Nicole Prause, Jules Howard, films, poetry readings, and live musical performances.

1600 Lena St., Santa Fe $30 GETS YOU:

4 LOVINGLY PAIRED CRAFT BEERS AND CHEESES FL

What would you say distinguishes this performance from those of years past?

We’re always moving forward, and we don’t really go back to what has worked in the past, so I think this program shows that even more. We’re continuing with a choreographer we’ve used before, Cayetano Soto; however, he’s doing a piece that’s a little bit different.

Most of his work is so intense, and it could be seen as dark and serious, and his piece for this program is actually quite funny. It’s athletic, which is pretty usual for us, but it’s also sexy and chic, and I think the humor and the brightness of it makes it a little bit different from what you would see from Cayetano that we’ve done. As far as the other new piece, Re:play, that piece is totally different than anything we’ve done before. The dancers are very pedestrian; we have sneakers or Doc Martins on.

Do you have a favorite moment or a favorite piece in this performance?

[Soto’s] Huma Rojo is a great ballet. I think it gives an opportunity for each dancer to really showcase. What I really love about it is everyone’s personality comes out in a different way, and it shows how unified we are as a company, but also, how we really do each have our own personality. It’s just a really beautiful thing.

ICONIK COFFEE ROASTERS

Where does the ethereal world of ballet meet the pavement of reality? Probably in something like the Santa Fe kickoff of The Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s 20th season at the Lensic Performing Arts Center (211 W San Francisco St., 988-1234) on Friday, April 1. Company member Samantha Klanac Campanile, who is in her 15th season with the group, spoke to SFR about the performance and pre-show rituals.

(Anna Mae Kersey)

How do you prepare for a performance? Do you have any special rituals or routines that you go through before you get onstage?

I think the process of putting the makeup on and being in the dressing room with the women. We have just a really kind of energy with the dancers pre-show, so I feel like that’s sort of the process now, because it gets the six women in a place of connection and laughing, talking. It sounds so basic and simple, but it’s sort of a good time to get us in the same zone before we go. ... A funny thing that we all do, we say, “Merde,” which is “shit” in French, but that’s what dancers say to each other for good luck.

It’s evolved in this company to where we each have our separate little “merdes” we say to each other, so at five-minute curtain, we’re back there taking a moment with each of our colleagues and doing our separate little “merde.”

FOOD

on Wheels The Street Food Institute’s stellar food truck rolls back into town

B Y R O B D e WA LT @ Th e Fo r k S a n t a Fe

A

t the corner of Paseo de Peralta and Old Santa Fe Trail, just across the street from Kaune’s Neighborhood Market, something delicious is afoot. In the dirt lot formerly occupied by the Bang Bite Filling Station food truck (which can now be found at 505 Cerrillos Road near the Luna retail complex), veteran Santa Fe chef David Sellers and his crew have moved one of the Street Food Institute’s food trucks onto the property.

For those unfamiliar with chef Sellers and the nonprofit Street Food Institute’s entrepreneur-based culinary-training program, a little background: Its mission in part is to help budding culinary leaders throughout the state get some solid footing in the biz.

The goals stated on its website include everyone’s favorite buzzwords, “SFI supports the development of small business by growing the state’s local food economy and developing strong future business leaders.”

SFI’s accredited culinary program has its roots firmly planted at Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) in Albuquerque, but in March 2015, one of SFI’s food trucks started popping up in Santa Fe—more specifically, on the campus of Santa Fe Community College. Chef Sellers, who is best known in local restaurant circles for his work as the former chef of Santacafé and the former chef/owner of the now-closed Amavi restaurant, seems to have found his true calling with the Street Food Institute. His passion for the business and its mission is clear. And local lovers of delicious and sustainably minded food once again get to reap the benefits of that passion.

The SFI food truck picked up stakes in Santa Fe in December 2015 and only recently returned. “We

If St. Peter says they don’t have sandwiches like this when you reach the pearly gates, turn around. You’re in the wrong place.

spent the winter concentrating on the culinary program at CNM and looking for the right place to land in Santa Fe in the spring,” Sellers says. Business has been vibrant since the program started, seeing a 100 percent boost to revenue over the past year alone.

Most of the food prep for daily operations in Santa Fe takes place in Santa Fe Community College’s Culinary Program kitchens, although some last-minute work is done on the truck before it opens for business.

So what about the food?

It’s amazing. Get yourself over to the SFI food truck, which is open 11 am-2 pm Tuesday-Friday.

Every item on the menu is currently priced at $10, but for the quality and quantity of food you get, it’s a good deal. The menu is eclectic and ever-changing, serving up items like Korean-barbecued short-rib tacos; ramen; a Provençal vegetable sandwich; an oyster po’boy sandwich with Old Bay Seasoningkissed remoulade; and Burmese-style red-curry pork with sticky rice. But if you eat beef, love sandwiches and skip trying the SFI’s hot Reuben, you’re doing it wrong.

Tucked between two pieces of house-baked marble rye sits a glorious heap of house-smoked (at SFCC) pastrami, Russian dressing, sauerkraut and melted Swiss cheese. Served with housemade saltand-vinegar potato chips, it’s a thing of beauty—and bursting with flavor. “The rye bread is baked locally

by Sam Taub, who used to work at The Cheese Board Collective in Berkeley, Calif.,” Sellers says, proudly holding up a loaf of Sam’s rye. “We’re in the process of brining our own sauerkraut, too.” But wait. There’s more. Much more.

In conjunction with SFCC’s plentiful on-campus gardens, the SFI truck in Santa Fe will benefit from a steady supply of fresh produce from the college’s raised beds throughout the peak growing season.

This means more local, organic, sustainable food on your plate, and more menu inspiration for Sellers and his truck’s current co-chef, Jason Gleichman (formerly of Second Street Brewery). There are also plans to open for breakfast, and to hear Sellers tell it, the housemade bagels, courtesy of bread whisperer Taub, are New York-style and off-the-chain. “We’re going to be doing our own bagels, making our own cream cheese and curing our own salmon for lox too,” Sellers says.

There is picnic-table seating at the truck location, built by hand by Sellers and his crew, and sunshade umbrellas are coming soon. “We’re looking at a lot of possibilities for this location,” Sellers says. “Maybe a pop-up dinner now and then, a food truck festival and maybe partnering with someone with a beer-andwine license for a picnic license for special occasions.”

In the meantime, hit the Street Food Institute’s Facebook page and Twitter feed for updates.

WHAT’S NEW IN SPRINGTIME SIPPING?

BY NATALIE BOV IS @TheLiquidMus e

As we peel off the layers and venture out—bare skinned and blinking—into the sensuous sunrays and warming evenings, we’re another year older but feel younger than springtime (that’s what I tell myself squeezing my winter white jiggles into suddenly tight summer dresses). Even walking down a familiar street, little details we forgot about under the snow now wink and dance before our eyes. While we were holed up away from the cold, some cool new stuff was stirring and is now ready for the big reveal.

A

ll aging beauties require a little occasional maintenance. Historic La Fonda Hotel opened its doors in 1922, although reports of an inn at that location date back to the 1600s. Once a Harvey property, La Fonda is hailed in travel guides and historic registers, and now the lobby’s La Fiesta Lounge (100 E San Francisco St., 9825511) boasts an elegant remodel. Long known for festive live music and dancing, renovations include a horseshoe-shaped bar (for better mingling), modernized furnishings and decorative pounded tin adhered to the ceiling between traditional wooden vigas. There is a creative new cocktail menu, and they now call their bartenders “mixologists,” which is always a sign a bar is upping the ante. Bar snacks include a salsa flight, deconstructed nachos and crispy churros with Mexican dipping chocolate. Day drinkers can still enjoy a traditional lunch buffet or get a kick-start at the new coffee bar.

While there, Instagram a selfie with Harvey, the four-foot rabbit sculpture, to dazzle film buff friends.

While hobnobbing around the Plaza, swing by the Inn of the Anasazi (113 Washington Ave., 988-3030) and sample fare from the new executive chef, Edgar Beas. The latest addition in a two-year upgrade of the property, chef Beas comes from Rosewood Sand Hill, in Northern California. There, he honed his touch with vegan and gluten-free specialties while integrating locally sourced, seasonal products. Some specialty dishes include charred octopus with potato polenta; seared foie gras with red chile and dark chocolate; and duck with farro, tamarind, dates and artichokes. The modernization of the kitchen reaches into the bar, which revealed its new tequila table last year, featuring flights, hors d’oeuvres and a mini tequila lesson for $40.

Their newest endeavor involves aging Bosque Brewery’s Imperial Stout in local Colkegan whiskey casks. And the bartenders are now creating drinks to order, otherwise known as “bespoke,” which takes strong training in classic cocktails to execute.

State Capital Kitchen (500 Sandoval St., 467-8237) is the spanking new eatery from Mark Connell, featuring what he describes as “artisanal American dim sum.” His passion for doing dirty things to innocent seasonal produce and farmfresh fare is exemplified by foams, even more deconstructed stuff and tableside liquid-nitrogen-infused ice cream, resulting in scrumptious food porn that will leave you trembling for more. Barman Mike D’Amato has craftily put together a list of shims (low alcohol cocktails), which is the best use of a wine-andbeer-only license. Finally, someone here is doing it! At least Santa Feans will get to experience long-established global trends as if they were brand new. It’s always springtime somewhere.

WEDNESDAY 6 APRIL AT 7 PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER What began as a Syrian youth revolt morphed into a civil war and then into a set of apocalyptic Muslim extremist movements.

These developments provoked regional, followed by international, intervention by NATO, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Iran. Millions of Syrians have fled abroad, creating a European refugee crisis.

How to make sense of this most devastating conflict?

— Juan Cole

Juan Cole is a Middle East scholar, distinguished academic, and commentator who, for three and a half decades, has sought to put the complex relationship between the West and the Muslim world in historical context. He has written extensively on modern Islamic movements in Egypt, the Persian Gulf and South Asia.

He is the author of Engaging the Muslim World and, most recently, The New Arabs: How the Millennial Generation is Changing the Middle East. He has regular columns at The Nation and Truthdig, and blogs on Informed Comment at juancole.com. He will talk about Syria as a global conflict: ISIL, Al-Qaeda and international intervention.

The Preppie Connection Another flick about rich kids with drugs and money, and the idiocy that ensues by alex de vore @teamalex

There’s a major problem at the heart of writer/director Joseph Castelo’s The Preppie Connection that’s hard to put a finger on until it begins to wrap up, but is so glaring by the time you realize it. It basically makes you feel as if you’ve wasted the last 90-ish minutes of your life—you just don’t give a shit about these people. Based on the reallife story of Derek Oatis (he’s called Tobias in the film and is played capa-

bly by character actor Thomas Mann), a young prep school misfit who in 1984 was caught smuggling $300,000 worth of cocaine from Colombia into the country, Connection attempts to examine the bleak realities of morally bankrupt teens with a surplus of cash and a deficit of authority, and the subsequent drug problems they develop.

Tobias comes from a poor family and just plain doesn’t belong at this dang boarding school, to which he’s received a scholarship, but a love-at-first-sight situation with the apparently beauti-

SCORE CARD

ful Alex (a dead-eyed Lucy Fry, from a bunch of things you’ve never heard of ) and the realization that drugs equal popularity lead him on a series of Colombian cocaine-procuring mishaps, courtesy of his diminutive classmate Fidel, whose father is an ambassador of some kind. In the scenes that find Tobias in an alien land attempting to navigate the rough-and-tumble drug trade, there are moments of authentic suspense, but the overall nonchalance he displays during these escapades, right up to the moment it hits him that he’s 17 and as such probably doesn’t know anything, paints the portrait of some dumb kid not in love so much as unaware of his own mortality. Yes, teens feel invincible, and that’s great, but this bypasses Tobias’ apparent obsession over a pretty face for what mostly just feels like he’s an idiot abroad begging to be stabbed. This might have even caused one of those “Don’t open that door!” horror movie moments if we truly cared whether or not Tobias survived, but alas—we just don’t.

In the end, young love simply isn’t a strong enough motivator for us to truly connect with Tobias, and we constantly wonder why the hell he’d be doing these things when the girl he would supposedly die for spends most of her time banging this other guy named Ellis (Logan Huffman), an amalgamation of that evil leader kid from the rich summer camp across the lake. Huffman certainly does inhabit that weird combo of

magnetic-yet-cruel that all the faceless jock-ish types at all the world’s high schools ooze, and the relationships between the cool kids and our anti-hero are about the only sincerely moving bits in Connection, as we can all relate to that teen-angst desire we had to be perceived as cool, even when it was for bullies and rich-kid jerks. It even stings a little that Tobias’ apparent misconception that these people like him, drugs or not, is never fully realized, and there might be something to say for someone who so blindly loves a woman that he’s willing to spearhead a microcosm of international drug smuggling.

All the same, the utter lack of development for any one character outside of “Oh hey, kids do stupid shit!” means Tobias’ journey feels way more like he’s living as a less charming Ferris Bueller in a faux-gritty Mean Girls world rather than within the gut-wrenching anxiety of Midnight Express. Hell, the guy who the film is based on is a lawyer today and back then got off with 5,000 hours of community service, raising the question, what’s the real crime here: drug trafficking or that preppie rich kids can basically do whatever the hell they want?

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a poorly constructed pastiche of disparate scripts slapped together with the thinnest of pretense and has more guest stars than an episode of The Simpsons. And it was bad. There, we said it. What at first seemed like an ill-advised expedition into film mistakes that held the distant possibility of an improbable success has revealed itself to be what everyone thought it would end up to be. This film is like your screw-up cousin who decided to go to college and everybody was really hoping he’d pull his shit together after that (commuted) arson charge, but then drops out of college before the end of the first month and is now awaiting trial for an unrelated crime. And for some reason, despite all the “I don’t like Ben Affleck” hoo-haa that was the main complaint from fans, the performances are not the issue (aside from Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor). Zack Snyder and the writers seem to have little understanding about the characters, how they would act or how they’re interrelated, and the evidence behind this is the God-awful, “throw a few major DC Comics universe events at the page and hope that something sticks” method.

Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) makes

a limited appearance, but it seems more like a tacked-on character addition that you would hardly miss if she weren’t included. And that’s a shame. Her character seemed to be added because producers felt like it would be appropriate to have a female hero, considering public outcry, but no time is spent developing her character, who she is, or why we should care. And that’s a huge error. It almost felt like we were being told by the filmmakers, “See, here’s some female superheroes! Our films have diversity.” It seemed like focus group pandering rather than a storytelling decision. We’ve been beaten about the head and shoulders with the two leads’ origins and so forth, but Wonder Woman hasn’t had any screen time outside of cartoons and a TV show back in the ‘70s.

The audience hasn’t been introduced at all. So, from a filmmaking perspective, her appearance during the Doomsday climax battle at the end seemed almost like deus ex machina. Where we come from, that could be called a cinema sin.

Overall, this movie is a bunch of missed opportunities wrapped in desperation, driven by a studio that by all indications has no idea what it’s doing with these franchises in the context of motion pictures. It’s evident that they wanted to catch Marvel and begin to have a competitive chance at

deposing them from their superhero-movie throne. That’s not going to happen in the foreseeable future. You see, they forgot to add the elements that made the Marvel movies so successful: heart and story.

EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT

The bloody history of rubber exploitation and colonization in the Amazon is brought into stark relief in writer/director Ciro Guerra’s new film, Embrace of the Serpent. During this era, the rubber boom was in full effect and (with modern eyes) a large-scale humanitarian and ecological disaster. Western Europe spared no perversion in stripping the land of rubber, gold and other resources. Period explorer Percy Harrison Fawcett (who would disappear with his son and his friend in the Amazon in 1925) referred to the South and Central American jungle as “a green hell.” It was a lawless time, rife with abuses and atrocities of nearly every flavor; man was just as dangerous as the suffocating canopy. Amid the pursuit of riches and survival, men lost their lives as well as their identity, and this is the crux of the film from the remarkably fresh perspective of an Indigenous person, Karamakate, “the mover of worlds” and the last of his people.

The plot has a nonlinear focus, moving between a time near 1907 and an undefined CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

One is terminally ill, and the other cannot dream; juxtaposed against the younger Karamakate’s anger at his tribe’s destruction by Europeans and the elder Karamakate’s inability to remember his cultural identity, the primary character’s motivations mirror each other. Karamakate the elder’s fear is that he has become a chullachaqui, which refers to a supernatural doppelganger, but in his case, a husk of a person with a hollow core. Serpent has an almost Conrad-esqe/Apocalypse Now vibe. The two plot threads travel down the same river for different goals and illuminate at once the wholesale destruction of the jungle and the psychological toll it exacts on everyone involved; events that take place in the past timeline at a jungle abbey and school for native orphan boys foresee a haunting resolution in the future.

Nilbio Torres turns in a remarkable performance as the young Karamakate. With a physique that’s “sculpted by the hardships of the jungle,” he portrays a young warrior-shaman who still has a hint of the petulance and impatience of youth. Antonio Bolívar Salvador’s older, wiser and more jaded Karamakate is masterful. Salvador is one of the last survivors of the Ocaina people, indigenous to Peru and Colombia, and that horrible reality translates through to his character.

Embrace of the Serpent proceeds at a sedentary pace. But even the timing serves the theme of the narrative, as it slowly cooks the story in such a way that you almost feel yourself lost in it, in a sense, becoming your own chullachaqui.

This may or may not be a good thing, and it might not be appropriate for a theatergoing public that is used to trite characterizations or easily consumed narratives. Yet this film does not disappoint. Serpent has collected a bunch of accolades from all over the world, including Sundance and Cannes, and there’s a good reason for that. (BK) CCA, Unrated, 125 min.

THE BRONZE

There’s a general guideline in screenwriting that’s known as the “save the cat” moment. It’s a scene where the audience gets to somehow connect with the main character (or villain, if you’re being creative) on a personal level.

It’s meant to give the characters a moment of softness to enable viewers to connect on a deeper level. This makes the theatergoer want to continue to watch the movie. This guideline is even more important when the main character is a criminal or reprobate. To be clear,

it isn’t used all the time, and it isn’t appropriate in every film—there’s no “save the cat” moment in the beginning of Pulp Fiction, for instance (Sam Jackson makes us want to watch, since he’s so badass), but this moment does exist in The Bronze. It fails. Miserably. So does the rest of the movie.

The main character is Hope Annabelle Gregory, an Olympic gymnast (Melissa Rauch) who medaled with a bronze in 2004; she’s past her prime after a catastrophic injury and still living with her father as an adult. She’s entitled, crude and morally empty. It’s supposed to be a comedy, but every line of dialogue that comes out of her mouth is so remarkably crass and without comedic merit that it’s cringe worthy.

To be clear, Rauch plays the character with aplomb. Gregory is reminiscent of Kenny Powers from Eastbound and Down, but somehow it doesn’t come off as funny. She’s such an awful person to the people who care for and, in some cases, venerate her, that you can’t help but not feel sorry for her, nor is it easy to watch her for almost two hours. After about 40 minutes, the urge to leave the film was strong.

She’s simply not likable nor relatable, and she’s in nearly every scene. Gary Cole (Lumberg from Office Space) plays Gregory’s father and his portrayal as a doting parent who somehow continues to try his best despite living under the tyranny of his daughter is great.

Thomas Middleditch is twitchy and wellmeaning Ben Lawford, a character who provides a love interest that’s completely inexplicable.

He can be summed up as, “Hey, I know you berate me and call me names and are an awful person to me all the time, do you wanna go out?” The very notion that he would be interested in her, or that she would say yes, completely destroys the tenuous suspension of disbelief. Make no mistake, the performances are solid. But they cannot save the film’s awful writing and characterizations.

The base of the film was shoddy and needed a more critical eye—the script. With a main character that’s so completely rotten to the core and whose plot arc peters out before any kind of satisfying resolution makes this film almost unwatchable. (BK) Regal, R, 108 min.

ZOOTOPIA

Not everyone is enamored with the saccharinesweet films from the admittedly fine folks at Pixar, and not everyone loves CGI-produced animated films the way they love good oldfashioned cell animation. Still, it would be hard to deny that the field has come light-years since Toy Story unleashed its truly terrifying concept

Explorers and exploitation abound in Embrace of the Serpent. on the world, and every so often a sincerely special animated movie comes along. Zootopia is one of those. A genuinely clever take on very adult topics like race relations, sexism, strained relationships and the corrupting nature of power, the newest outing from Walt Disney Animation Studios is not only a triumph in terms of storytelling for kids and parents simultaneously (which is actually much harder than you might think), but a wise step from a company that has traditionally/unfortunately often told little girls all over the world to just take it easy already, because a man is on the way to fix everything.

Zootopia, by the way, is cool as hell and looks beautiful the first time we see the city through Judy’s eyes, via brief aerial shots of dizzying rainforest treetop canopies, scorching deserts, miniature rodent neighborhoods and so on. The attention to detail is staggering, and unlike most Pixar films, there is an actual feeling that the city lives and breathes.

Judy, a rabbit, has plans to join the police

force. No one takes Judy seriously, though, and she winds up working as a mere meter maid.

Still, she does her job well, and through a series of right place, right time moments, she is thrust into the midst of a clandestine plot alongside Nick, a slick con artist fox (played amazingly by Jason Bateman) with a tragic past, and the pair must fight the odds to find the bad guys and return order to their city.

Allowing the legitimately funny moments to eclipse whatever paint-by-numbers plot points one would expect from a kid’s movie is the way to go here, and the important lesson we’re helped to relearn is that you should never judge a book by its cover (unless that book is about sloths). Sorry if that sounds cliché, but the greatest hits are the ones that ring true forever.

If nothing else, we can all be reminded that we may need help from time to time, regardless of age, even when we truly do believe in ourselves. (ADV) Violet Crown and Regal Cinemas, PG, 108 min.
