THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN

June 14 - 20, 2013

www.pasatiempomagazine.com

On the cOver 40 electrons on parade Currents is not your typical art fair. The annual homegrown-yet-international festival of new media produced by Parallel Studios takes over the town in what has grown into one of the largest community events of the season. The epicenter lies in and around El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, and the fun begins Friday, June 14. The opening weekend of the festival features video and projection as well as multimedia performances from Tim Weaver (Page 44) The Bridge Club (see Page 48), and the trio of Janet Feder, Andrew Pask, and Darwin Grosse (Page 50), among others. The new-media mayhem continues throughout the month of June with art exhibits, panel discussions, lectures, interactive installations, and art gaming. Pasatiempo’s coverage of Currents begins on Page 40. On the cover is Emily Martinez’s 2012 Anti-Apocalypse, installation view; image courtesy the artist.

Chaos to Complexity: Artists & Scientists Share Insights Into the Creative Process

Luís M.A. Bettencourt

Kade L. Twist

Valerie Plame Wilson

Saturday, June 22 | 2-4 p.m. Museum of Contemporary Native Arts 108 Cathedral Place, Allan Houser Art Park MoCNA and the Santa Fe Institute (SFI) explore the creative process in art and science. SFI Professor Luís M.A. Bettencourt and Cherokee artist Kade L. Twist discuss if Native artists and complexity scientists are so far apart? Moderated by SFI’s Valerie Plame Wilson. Luís M.A. Bettencourt is an SFI professor and a former senior scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. His focus is to understand complex systems: how cities function and grow, how the brain achieves cognition, how diseases spread, and what conditions lead to innovation. Kade L. Twist (Cherokee Nation) is an interdisciplinary artist working with video, installation, sound and text. Twist’s work combines re-imagined tribal stories with geopolitical narratives to examine the unresolved tensions between market-driven systems, consumerism and American Indian cultural self-determination.

Headache?

If medical doctors, alternative practitioners, tests, and MRIs have not helped cure your headaches, the headaches may actually be caused by your jaw. Here‛s a simple test you can do: place your little finger into your ear, and push firmly forward, toward your eye. Open and close your jaw while continuing to push with your finger. Does this make your jaw or ear hurt? Does it change how your mouth opens? Does it cause noises in front of your ears? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, call us for an appointment. Jaw problems are a common cause of headaches, and we can help most people get rid of the pain. Visit SantaFeTMJcom. &

FantaSe island

A swarm of skateboarders takes to downtown streets on Saturday, June 15, to celebrate the inauguration of the newly renovated skate plaza in DeVargas Park. Thanks to the Rodeo de Santa Fe parade, which passes by the park this year, nearby streets are blocked off. Organizers of the FantaSe Festival, which runs from 3 to 11 p.m. on Saturday at the park, took advantage of the situation and pushed successfully for a city-sanctioned vanguard of skaters to preface the parade. The FantaSe celebration, presented by Creative Santa Fe and a host of community collaborators, includes a dozen diverse musical acts, with local indie band As in We scheduled for 9 p.m. Interspersed between the bands’ sets are performances by Santa Fe Opera apprentices and students from the outreach program of National Dance Institute-New Mexico. There will also be a show of recycled fashion and a breakdance crew. Members of Dancing Earth will perform a water dance. In addition, the festival showcases works by four multimedia artists who received grants from New Mexico Arts to create installations for this event. August Muth’s work integrates lasers, prisms, and prayer flags, and Jennifer Joseph’s piece Mirrored Sky employs thousands of LED-lit orbs to create a constellation. Other featured artists are Chris McLean, whose projection installation encourages audience interaction, and Jon Vigil, who uses the facade of the Santuario de Guadalupe as a screen on which to project a variety of photographic portraits of New Mexicans from different walks of life. A side stage hosts electronic music and DJs throughout the event, and ambient lighting and glow-in-the-dark face painting come courtesy of Meow Wolf. DeVargas Park is on West De Vargas Street between Don Gaspar Avenue and Guadalupe Street. The skaters are scheduled to roll in around 3:30 p.m., in advance of the Rodeo parade, with DJ Mickey Paws wrapping up the festivities by 11 p.m. There is no charge to attend the festival.

STAR CODES Heather Roan Robbins

m a d e

The most efficient thing we can do this week is fill up our wells, inside

and out. Water, too much here and too little there, remains in the headlines all summer as constrictive, focusing Saturn and watery Neptune trine. The stars call for rest from an abundance of recent emotional events. We may need extra sleep and extra time to dream and read a good book that takes us far away as thoughtful Mercury and heartfelt Venus challenge Neptune. Because this need for interior time can knock loudly at our psyches, fuzzyminded daydreams make it harder to focus efficiently at work if we don’t have enough downtime. The work won’t wait, and neither will our inspiration or ambition as active Mars quincunxes powerful Pluto and irritates us with what is left undone. But we can work with this active subconscious — we can give it a problem to solve or a process to create and then go about the daily puttering and trust the psyche to cook in the spacious backrooms of the soul. The weekend promises to be industrious, if disjointed, under a responsible Virgo moon. It’s a great time to weed the garden, clear the clutter of the mind, and tend to whatever needs healing. On Sunday we want to lighten the load and expand our world as the sun conjuncts expansive Jupiter. The week starts under a sociable, aesthetic, egalitarian Libra moon. We take one step closer, one step back. Midweek sings the blues under a brooding Scorpio moon, but we can get down to business and deal more directly with the challenges at hand. Friday, June 14: Check in with one another and coordinate this social morning as Venus trines Chiron. Organize and repair this afternoon; direct any nervous buzz into constructive channels and avoid cranky thoughts as the moon enters Virgo. Tonight, look for the magic but confirm facts as the moon opposes confusing Neptune. Saturday, June 15: Learn, investigate, try something new, and just watch the gossip as the moon trines Pluto. A warmhearted morning turns brusque at midday and evolves into an open-hearted evening. Layers of undertones and unspoken ambitions weave complications. If anger comes from frustrated longing, don’t give up; redirect instead.

Sunday, June 16: Contradictions are exposed; moods can work at crosspurposes. We need acceptance of different priorities, healthy communication, and a willingness to drop righteousness to make the most of a busy if disjointed day. Monday, June 17: Look for a change of scene and pace this morning as Mars sextiles Uranus under a friendly Libra moon. Later on we can oversimplify a complex situation or get carried away by our imagination. Look underneath the smoke screen.

* select models

Tuesday, June 18: An inner push-pull can leave us emotionally at odds as the moon squares Venus and Mercury. Midday we find more common ground and a lighter heart as the moon trines the sun and Jupiter, though evening may sharpen again as the moon approaches Scorpio. Wednesday, June 19: Share opinions, but respect personal privacy. Feel the ambient attitude, attraction, and complicated paradox as we get down to some core work. The cynical Scorpio moon resists an optimistic expansiveness as the sun conjuncts Jupiter. This can bring a witty, nononsense approach to free a stuck situation or can leave us sarcastic and self-indulgent. It’s our call. Thursday, June 20: Expect challenges around how to handle tempers. Don’t get stuck in the past, but set clean boundaries in the present. Closeknit teams or groups may need to be supported and reorganized with loving honesty. Evening calls for a poet’s soul as Mercury conjuncts Venus. Go on, speak those feelings. ◀ www.roanrobbins.com

book reviews

Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age by W. Bernard Carlson, Princeton University Press, 500 pages It’s no longer apt to think of Nikola Tesla as a forgotten genius. The electric-car company that bears his name and uses facets of his motor design has been in the news of late for its awards (Motor Trend’s 2013 car of the year) and rising stock price. In recent years, Tesla (1856-1943) was the subject of Constantine Koukias and Marianne Fisher’s opera Tesla — Lightning in His Hand, and he made appearances in novels, both as a cameo (in Thomas Pynchon’s Against the Day) and as the focus (in Samantha Hunt’s The Invention of Everything Else). David Bowie played the lanky scientist in The Prestige, Christopher Nolan’s 2006 film about rival magicians, a movie that suggests both the triumph and tragedy of the inventor. Tesla is as cool today as he was in 1895. All this attention has left the inventor with a quasimystical legacy. He not only designed the first practical alternating-current motors and aided the discovery of X-rays and radio transmission, he was also the first man to detect signals from extraterrestrial sources and to induce digestive regularity and mental stability through the use of carefully applied electricity. Yet for all his genius and invention, Tesla had only a short run of success, principally in the 1890s. He ended up bankrupt, discredited, and finally ignored. His story, as thoughtfully told by W. Bernard Carlson in Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age, demonstrates that innovation requires more than just a brilliant scientific mind. Practical application, salesmanship, and the support of moneyed benefactors, not to mention luck, are all key. It’s in these areas that Tesla, whose success once seemed guaranteed, lacked the kind of imagination that defined his scientific vision. Steve Jobs he was not. A major focus of Carlson’s biography involves detailed explanations of just how Tesla’s advancements worked. He also gives insights into the workings of Tesla’s mind. Carlson, a professor of science, technology, and society at the University of Virginia, suggests that Tesla’s visual imagination both spurred his invention and hindered it. Tesla suffered hallucinations as a child, visions he was able to overcome through mental discipline. These early exercises in control were reflected in his work ethic well past his productive years. But his ability to picture how his creations would work aided their realization. Illusion was, according to Carlson, central to Tesla’s triumphs. Certainly Tesla’s public demonstrations of his work resembled magic shows. The inventor would wave glass wands between zinc plates hanging on different sides of a stage, and they would emit ghostly light. Sparks and electrical streamers would leap across the stage. Carlson says that Tesla and his colleagues’ ability to shape the thinking of potential manufacturers and buyers was key to his early successes. “Clearly, Tesla’s motor moved forward not through the disclosure of cold, hard facts but through the careful orchestration of selected information and subtle suggestion,” he writes. Marketing became a kind of prestidigitation and, for a time, Tesla was Houdini. One of the author’s lines — “Illusions play a significant role in guiding our understanding of how the ‘real’ world works” — is as true today as it was at the turn of the last century. When Tesla lost the aid of publicity-savvy colleagues, he was unable to pull off the same tricks that had first brought him fame. His former employer Thomas Alva Edison became a rival, one significantly better at the practice of capitalism. Guglielmo Marconi, hijacking Tesla’s transmission ideas, beat the inventor at his own game by setting lower expectations. Not content with short-distance broadcasts, Tesla sought nothing less than “world telegraphy.” Funding for larger projects, especially the transmission of electrical current through the ground, fell away. Carlson suggests that Tesla’s European roots — he had a distinct accent — hurt him in a time of all-American fervor. Carlson offers the accepted idea that J.P. Morgan and others pulled support from Tesla because they thought him a madman, and as his fortunes fell, Tesla suffered a breakdown, which he treated with electric shocks. “This guy is crazy,” one of Morgan’s colleagues reputedly told him. “What he is doing is, he wants to give free electrical power to everybody.” This would never fly among America’s then wizards of finance. But Carlson agrees with the explanation Tesla offered for Morgan’s pulling out: a speculative bubble that was growing around the wireless industry. Sound familiar? To his credit, Carlson lets readers draw modern-day parallels for themselves. He also doesn’t find much consequence in Tesla’s personal life, suggestions of his homosexuality (Tesla never married and was close to select colleagues), or his depression. But he does show Tesla’s poor marketing choices and faults his scientific process. Tesla’s greatest flaw may have been his pursuit of advancements that served humankind rather than creating wealth for their manufacturer. In that, he may have been truly ahead of his time. And ours. — Bill Kohlhaase

SubtextS Let the murders begin Santa Fe-based mysteries written by authors who know the area well are a special treat, especially when they are published just in time for summer. Famed santero and Santa Fe native Marie Romero Cash reads from her new Jemimah Hodge mystery, Treasure Among the Shadows, at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 17, at Collected Works Bookstore (202 Galisteo St., 988-4226). She is joined by Tony Hillerman Prize winner Christine Barber, reading from When the Devil Doesn’t Show. Cash is the author of several books about the art and culture of the Southwest as well as a memoir about growing up in Santa Fe. Treasure Among the Shadows is a fictional take on the controversial, reallife hunt for a treasure buried by Forrest Fenn that has attracted the attention of treasure seekers worldwide as well as the FBI. The author knows Fenn in real life; in the book he is renamed Tim McCabe and has strong ties to law enforcement, specifically Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Deputy Rick Romero, a straight-arrow local boy who is dating his esteemed colleague, forensic psychologist Jemimah Hodge. Hodge, who gets involved in the murder mystery beyond the scope of her job, has a curious back story: as a teenager, she ran away from a polygamist Mormon community to save herself from being married off to a stranger three times her age. She then put herself through school, earned a doctorate, and eventually landed in Santa Fe. Joining this crew as McCabe’s foil — and then the story’s next murder victim — is Gilda Humphreys, the frumpy, tyrannical state archaeologist who’s been leading a double life as a sex kitten. She’s fixated on the treasures to be found on McCabe’s ranch — property he bought from a pueblo and to which he insists the state has no claim. When real treasure is indeed found, the fun begins. — Jennifer Levin

Time Commences in Xibalbá by Luis de Lión, translated by Nathan C. Henne, University of Arizona Press, 152 pages On May 15, 1984, Guatemalan teacher, writer, and activist Luis de Lión became one of the “dirty war’s” many “disappeared,” kidnapped and presumably assassinated by a Guatemalan government death squad. Although de Lión was never heard from again, he did leave behind a powerful, disturbing, and evocative masterpiece of a novel, finally translated into English by Nathan C. Henne. Time Commences in Xibalbá tells the multilayered story of an idyllic indigenous village and how the return of a wandering prodigal son named Pascual instigates an alarming, violent disintegration of the very fabric of the town’s life. In Pascual’s eyes, his village (like de Lión’s mother country) is simultaneously mired in time and timeless. The author’s ambivalence toward his own cultural roots lies at the heart of the narrative and speaks to what Henne calls de Lion’s own “indigenous poetics of the uncertain.” In his densely academic introduction, Henne discusses the many difficulties in translating this work. Among them: the “various mestizo selfhoods” that inhabit Guatemalan culture; the obscure, oxymoronic connotations of Maya languages (with words that are translated here as lovehate, dirtywhite, accidentnecessity); and the intentionally unclear gender sexuality references to Pascual and his fellow protagonists, Juan and Concha. Bottom line, says Henne, de Lión’s novel “negotiates various aspects of the trauma indigenous people in Guatemala undergo because of the multiple worlds in which they must simultaneously construct themselves.” De Lión employs a chronological elasticity to examine the uneasy relationship between the country’s indigenous past and its rapidly assimilating present. Strangely enough, it is never clear when — or even if — time actually does commence in the village, which is never actually identified as Xibalbá (the underworld in Maya mythology). His sensibility draws heavily on magical realism, with surreal scene-setting passages such as “its copper sun was born on the opposite side of the sky from where it normally rose,” and “it wasn’t wind. It was an animal in the shape of wind. Or it was a person in the shape of an animal.” Religious references abound, contrasting traditional Maya beliefs with Catholicism. “The Virgen de Concepción was a whore,” the author writes. “I never met her. But I remember her.” “She’s not our mother,” says Pascual of the shrine. “She’s just another ... Ladina [a nonindigenous, Spanishspeaking Latin American woman]; except that she was put here to show us up.” The church’s pealing bells “rip through the cloth of dead air hanging over the village.” The sun itself “was rotating like a wafer of the unleavened host of a spotless god.” Gender and racial tensions also pierce these pages. Local women notice that “their men only used them to release their sexual tension, to have their children, to cook their food,” knowing “that their women weren’t white ... and that they certainly weren’t Ladinas.” At another point, the author sarcastically writes, “Thank you, little Indians, for your good little Indian hearts!” Despite the bitterness, darkness, and violence that underscore his writing, de Lión’s language glistens like that copper sun: stunningly imagistic, inventive, athletic, and utterly arresting. The poetics of the uncertain informs not only the subject matter but also the kaleidoscopic quality of his writing. This is a story to be chewed, digested, and savored, even though it can give the reader an acid stomach. As de Lión might have said, it has a greatterrible uglybeauty. — Wayne Lee

Michael Wade Simpson I For The New Mexican

S I M O N’S

IN SUSAN KOPRINCE’S 2002 BOOK, UNDERSTANDING NEIL SIMON, the playwright is quoted as saying, “I used to ask, ‘What is a funny situation?’ Now I ask, ‘What is a sad situation and how can I tell it humorously?’ ” Simon is the author of such Broadway blockbuster comedies as Barefoot in the Park, The Odd Couple, and The Sunshine Boys. His 1977 play, Chapter Two, opening at the Santa Fe Playhouse on Friday, June 14, exemplifies this darker turn in his work. It was described by critic Sheridan Morley in The New York Times as a turning point for the writer, in which his semi-autobiographical tendencies began to reveal deep emotion as much as laughs. George, the play’s protagonist, is a writer and a recent widower — as Simon was when he wrote the play — and is trying to stay open to the sudden arrival of new love in his life. 18

Grieving and renewal would not seem to be obvious sources for laughter, but for Simon, snappy dialogue and quick-hitting jokes reflect character. This may partially explain the writer’s popularity. The subjects of his plays are often funny, urban, Jewish, and middle class. They struggle with the problems of aging and families and the difficulties of marriage. “We’ve all had a Chapter Two moment, where you’re starting over again in life,” said Erin O’Shaughnessy, who along with the director, Kent Kirkpatrick, sat down to speak with Pasatiempo after a rehearsal. She plays Faye, George’s new wife’s best friend. Robert Nott plays George. Barbara Hatch plays Jennie, based on actress Marsha Mason, whom Simon married after his first wife’s death. Charles Gamble plays George’s brother.

“I resent everything you want out of marriage that I’ve already had,” George tells Jennie late in the play, after they have fallen in love and married in a rush and are now reconsidering their decision. “And for making me reach so deep inside to give it to you again. I resent being at L or M and having to go back to A! And most of all, I resent not being able to say in front of you ... that I miss Barbara so much.” “The first time we read the play at rehearsal,” Kirkpatrick said, “I was very surprised how real it was. It’s about being middle aged, about a character who has lost someone and asks himself, I’m happy, but do I deserve it? I didn’t get the depth of that until I heard it out loud. There was a shift in my head, a new picture of the play.” Although Simon’s plays are highly verbal, Kirkpatrick began his rehearsal process without words. Early in his career, the director studied the Suzuki theater method in Japan. He learned to use the whole body to tell a story, not just the face and voice. For Chapter Two, he had the actors delve into the psychology of their characters before diving into the words. “We explored the core of the characters’ darkness.” He had them do an exercise in which they expressed what their character was feeling in the moment by using gestures, not words. “The play is so verbal. I wanted to give them a foundation. To start from a place of knowing where their character really came from.” In a scene in which the O’Shaughnessy and Gamble characters are making adulterous plans in close proximity to each other onstage, playing New Yorkers in two different apartments talking on the phone, Kirkpatrick had the actors try again to get the scene right. “The urgency is good, but we’re missing specificity. To get the laugh lines, let’s do it more slowly. Take it back to 75 percent.” “Ripping apart a Neil Simon play makes you realize how hard comedy is,” O’Shaughnessy said. “There is a lot of technique.” “It’s like a fine piece of music,” Kirkpatrick added. “What most interested me in directing this piece was looking at it like a Mozart concerto. Getting the beats right and the lines right. Helping the actors and supporting them in finding moments.” O’Shaughnessy, who worked as an actress in television, including parts in Two and a Half Men and Desperate Housewives, spoke about working in the theater. “In TV, if you get the phone cord on the wrong side, you just do another take. I didn’t worry about technical things like that. It’s a challenge to be real in this environment and to get the phone cord right.” Chapter Two is set in the 1970s, and the actors do have to deal with wall-mounted telephones and dangling cords. They talk about President Jimmy Carter and Catch-22. Thirty thousand dollars is an enormous sum of money for one of the characters. “Simon gets poo-pooed, but he’s a genius,” Kirkpatrick said. “There’s a rhythmic way he puts words together. He can set up a laugh like no one else. I was in The Odd Couple in high school and I had no idea what I was doing. I would just say the lines, and people would be rolling in the aisles. I had no idea. In fifty or a hundred years, Simon’s plays will be looked at as classics. He’ll be the American writer everyone will study. His work is full of silliness and a lot of real emotion.” O’Shaughnessy was also in a high-school production of The Odd Couple, a version with two women playing the Oscar and Felix roles. “To think now how awful I was,” she said. “Back in the day I just hammed it up. I had no idea about the seriousness. About the reasons behind the humor.” “Oh, to be that stupid again,” Kirkpatrick said. ◀

A supernatural breath Adele Oliveira I The New Mexican

1951, toward the end of his career, Belgian playwright Michel de Ghelderode described his attitude toward the unfathomable and the transcendent in the Ostend Interviews, which aired on the French national public broadcast station, Radiodiffusion Télévision Française. “Only the brute can deny that we are surrounded by the supernatural, that we lose our footing to the extent that reason advances in its sloping territories, its nocturnal borderlands. You can perceive it, unexpectedly come across its messages in the humblest things, the most everyday things. I have an angel on my shoulder and a devil in my pocket!” Nowhere is this philosophy about the permeability between our world and the next more realized than in Ghelderode’s 1934 play Miss Jairus: A Mystery in Four Tableaux, presented by Theaterwork at the James A. Little Theater beginning Friday, June 14. Most broadly, the play is about death: how we confront it, how it confounds our expectations, and how we try to subvert or deny it. The action opens on the distraught Jairus family, living in Bruges, in some unspecified time, though the ambience is vaguely medieval. Jairus, head of the household, is raving because his 16-year-old daughter, Blandine, is near death. Jairus’ wife frets and fusses, and officials from civic, religious, and occult communities (a doctor; a joiner; the vicar; Mankabena, a wise woman; and the Mariekes, a trio of harpies) attend the girl’s deathbed. Blandine dies, but her fiancé, Jacquelin, decides not to accept her death, and with the help of Le Roux, a conjurer, she springs back to life with the dawn. Miss Jairus comes from a story Ghelderode’s mother told him when he was a child. When his mother was young, she knew a girl who “died” and came back to life just as she was being lowered into her coffin. The play is as obscure as it is strange. According to David Olson, Theaterwork’s artistic director, Miss Jairus has been performed only a handful of times in the United States, though it’s more commonly staged in Europe. Olson said the first known U.S. performance was at Harvard University in 1955. In the ’70s, Olson directed Miss Jairus at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, where he was teaching. “The play has a timeless quality, but doing it now is altogether different than it was in 1971,” Olson said. “Now, as a 71-year-old person, I understand much more the question of what death brings to us. Ghelderode was frightened by death but also embraced it. ... In spite of or maybe because of the play’s strangeness, it’s very beautiful, full of poetic imagery. I wouldn’t have done it if I thought it was grotesque. We’ve done a lot of experimental work, but this was another step, somewhere we hadn’t gone.” Born in 1898, Ghelderode was perhaps unusually preoccupied with death. He watched a huge swath of his generation die in World War I, in which he was unable to serve because of ill health. Ghelderode’s father was principal clerk at Belgium’s Archives Générales, and throughout childhood Ghelderode enjoyed sifting through aging documents. He was a solitary child, enchanted with

PASATIEMPO I June 14 -20, 2013

marionettes and dolls, and because of his illness he spent a great deal of adolescence in bed, writing poetry and reading Cervantes and Poe. As an adult, Ghelderode wrote “in a room, all alone,” and described himself as untroubled with exterior success. While it isn’t his best-known play, Ghelderode called Miss Jairus his “climactic work.” In addition to the story from his mother, the play is inspired by the city of Bruges. “Everything in it is old, earth, stones, blood, and this town is an old man continuing to live because of a marvel, or rather by a mistake,” he said in the Ostend Interviews. “One has the impression that this dream city may suddenly collapse, fall into dust, like those ancient corpses that are dug up.” Bruges is at once dead and alive. For the aesthetic of Theaterwork’s production, the design team looked to the Flemish Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel, whom Ghelderode also cited as an influence. Theaterwork’s iteration of

Theaterwork presents Miss Jairus

••

Miss Jairus borrows tone, color, and prop design from the artist’s paintings. From Bruegel’s 1559 work The Fight Between Carnival and Lent, the production team took the image of a hooded man seated on a chair atop a cart and created a similar, smaller prop that the play’s eccentric doctor wheels around, though he doesn’t sit in it. Blandine’s bed — with a headboard that stretches 20 feet into the air, adorned with religious iconography rendered in sepia, yards of bunched black tulle, and dusky purple bedclothes — is based on the bed in Bruegel’s The Death of the Virgin. The shades of the characters’ billowy costumes recall the artist’s muted reds, greens, and blues, and the edges of Jairus’ canvas coat are painted turquoise, which bleeds at the edges like pigment on a painting. During a recent rehearsal, the cast, particularly Jack Sherman as Jairus, telegraphed anxiety. (He says outright he wishes Blandine would just die and get it over with.) The in-betweenness of Blandine’s condition is what the earthly characters (excepting those who deal in magic) cannot fathom or accept, both when she is near death and when she returns from the other side. “Theater is meant to agitate,” said Alaina Warren Zachary, who plays Mankabena, the wise woman/witch. “Miss Jairus has a lot of echoes of tales we’re familiar with, but it never stops asking new questions.” Miss Jairus is macabre and humorous — odd yet universal. Warren Zachary noted that each character presents the story from his or her point of view. The cast members approach reality differently: the vicar believes in the absolution of Christian faith, while Le Roux’s power comes from somewhere else, an indefinite shadow land. It is the viewer who need decide where Blandine has been and whether she still belongs there. “When this [Christian] faith became diverted, I had to re-think the essential problems of our life, our human condition — what all things would become, and what would be their end,” Ghelderode said. “This fear of the night gives value to our days.” ◀

TERRELL’S TUNE-UP Steve Terrell

The Mose knows The last time that Mose McCormack, the Alabama-born country singer and songwriter now living in Belen, released an album (2009’s After All These Years), I noted that it had been 12 years since his previous record, Santa Fe Trail. And it had been 16 years between Santa Fe Trail and the one before that (1981’s Mosey Mac). I’m happy to report that McCormack’s new one, Mosey On … is out a mere four years since the last one. For McCormack, that might be a land speed record. I’m even happier to report that once again McCormack has created an ace collection of songs. Though he’s not nearly as famous as he ought to be, McCormack is a credit to the entire genre of country music. I recognize a handful of these tunes from a live performance on my radio show The Santa Fe Opry a few years ago. Among those are the best tracks on Mosey On … . First there’s “Under the Jail,” an outlaw tale that starts out with the line “Robbed a bank in Colorado/I rode my horse to death near the Taos County line.” The refrain begins with a little Woody Guthrie populism: “Stealin’ is stealin’ far as I can tell/ The outlaw and the banker meet on the road to hell.” But then the tone shifts to “Mama Tried” guilt: “Mama always told me, I remember well/‘Son, they’re going to put you under the jail.’ ” And I think we can all agree that being under the jail is worse than being inside the jail. Even better is the song “Hillbilly Town.” McCormack’s radio performance of this was jaw-dropping, and the studio version is strong too. It starts off with McCormack’s lonesome harmonica before the whole band comes in, with keyboardist Dick Orr’s organ in the lead. The lyrics tell the story of a young musician “determined to float while all around him drown.” The protagonist’s quest for stardom

Though he’s not nearly as famous as he ought to be, Mose McCormack is a credit to the entire genre of country music. leads him to places like “the alley behind the peep shows and the lower Broadway bars.” But he’s determined to hold on to his dignity. “Play it like a gunslinger before they shoot you down./ But you play it like a bluesman in some hillbilly town.” My other favorites here include the Tex-Mexflavored “Naco Jail” (yes, another jail song). You know that correctional facility — maybe even under that correctional facility — is where the narrator is heading when he sings, “Well, the bartender liked my horse, and his wife she loved my eyes/And I knew I was in trouble when her hand fell to my thighs.” “Native Son” stands out because it’s actually closer to rock or blues than country, with a crime-jazzy hook that Stan Ridgway could sink his teeth into. I was listening to it one day last week after reading several stories about government surveillance, the PRISM program, etc. These lines from the song reached out and hit me: “He’s changing his ID, taking it on the lam/’Cause in computer justice, call it Big Brother watching you/What have you done?/ There goes another native son.” Not all of McCormack’s songs deal with fugitives from justice, jails, and seedy cantinas. For instance, the banjo- and fiddle-driven “Honeysuckle Vine” is nothing but a sweet love song. “Sweeter than molasses, that pretty little gal of mine/When she wraps her arms around me like a honeysuckle vine.” On “Mr. Somebody,” a cool honky-tonk shuffle, the narrator is a middle-aged guy who realizes that his youthful “dreams of flying” are now dreams that are dying. Like nearly all of his albums since his 1976 debut Beans and Make Believe, Mosey On … was recorded at Albuquerque’s John Wagner Studios. Wagner plays guitar, accordion, and drums on the record. McCormack has a sturdy bunch of New Mexico musicians behind him. And almost every time I play this record, I find something else to like about it — a fiddle lick, a clever lyric. I just hope it doesn’t take years and years for McCormack to do another record. He is playing live on The Santa Fe Opry at 10 p.m. on Friday, June 14, on KSFR-FM 101.1 and streaming at www.ksfr.org. Visit www.mosemccormack.com.

Also recommended ▼ Ride by Wayne Hancock. Apparently in the past few years, Wayne “The Train” could have turned into Wayne “The Train Wreck.” His wife left him, and he ended up in rehab a couple of times. His backup band broke up. And if you think that sounds like a recipe for some country songs, you’re thinking right. Hancock — a master country traditionalist whose blend of juke-joint blues, western swing, rockabilly, and Hank-style heartache songs — unabashedly writes about his life. It’s obvious from the first line of the first song, the title track. “Well, me and my baby was splittin’ up, and I’m feelin’ really bad inside.” Then in “Best to Be Alone,” Hancock moans, “I had a good gal that I loved so/We both got married, not long ago/But then my drinking got in the way/So she left me, a year ago today.” “Fair Weather Blues” might remind Bob Wills fans of “Trouble in Mind,” but lines like “I’m gonna lay down my sorrow/And listen to the falling rain/I feel so lonely/But the thunder will ease my pain” remind me of Hancock’s own “Thunder Storms and Neon Signs.” So, yes, in some ways, this is a country confessional album. But don’t think for a second that it’s all cry-in-your-beer music. For instance the song “Ride” isn’t so much about Hancock’s marriage as it is about the joys of motorcycles. It’s an upbeat, rocking little tune with some mean guitar solos. And just because he has sobered up doesn’t mean he can’t sing about strong drink. He does that in “Cappuccino Boogie.” Hancock sings, “Well I dig a java shot with the gone girl at the counter/I get a triple shot brother just to be around her.” One of the strongest songs here is “Deal Gone Down,” a brutal little tale based on a true story about a guy who went into some Texas juke joint — his wife had been having an affair with the bartender — and he shot up the place and killed a bunch of people. “Well that was 30 years ago but it seems like it was yesterday/ And all the blood turned to dust, and the rain came and washed it away.” And that’s why I love country music.

ON STAGE Pushing boundaries: Sole

Though Sole’s appearance in Santa Fe was canceled at the last minute, fans of the socially conscious hip-hop artist still have the opportunity to see him in Albuquerque on Saturday, June 15. As a co-founder of the Anticon label, he has spent much of his career in the midst of underground hip-hop’s most exciting evolutions, including performing with Deep Puddle Dynamics (along with Slug of Atmosphere and others). It’s no coincidence that Sole’s most recent album, No Wising Up No Settling Down, came out on International Workers’ Day — May 1, 2013. He recently returned from a European tour that included an extended stay in Athens, where he studied squat communities and other responses to government austerity and performed to an audience of 1,500 in a park heavily patrolled by armed guards. Sole appears with Moodie Black at the Chill Factory (312 Rosemont N.E., Albuquerque) at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10; for information contact chillfactorynm@gmail.com. — LB

And they’re off: Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell

The Downs of Santa Fe seems an appropriate venue for Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell’s Saturday, June 15, concert. The storied racetrack is gearing up for a new start as a music venue, and veteran musicians Harris and Crowell are launching their official partnership. Despite remaining in the limelight as individual artists since the 1970s and having collaborated together all along the way, their 2013 album, Old Yellow Moon, is actually their first as a duo. The songs on the album won’t disappoint fans of either Nashville legend. Some selections, like “Invitation to the Blues” by honky-tonker Roger Miller, do homage to country greats. Others, in their honed exuberance, are oddly reminiscent of another modern partnership, that between Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Rising bluegrass star Sarah Jarosz opens the Downs show (27475 W. Frontage Road) at 7 p.m. Tickets ($40 and $70, with discounts available) can be purchased from Tickets Santa Fe at the Lensic (988-1234, www.ticketssantafe.org). — LB

A combination of sounds: Sandra Wong, Dominick Leslie, and Alya Sylla

THIS WEEK

Dominick Leslie and Sandra Wong

Sandra Wong, Dominick Leslie, and Alya Sylla offer an intriguing combination of sounds, playing nyckelharpa, mandolin, and African percussion, respectively. The trio plays at 8 p.m. Alya Sylla Friday, June 14, at the Outpost Performance Space, 210 Yale S.E., Albuquerque; and at 8 p.m. Saturday, June 15, at Gig, 1808 Second St. Wong grew up in upstate New York playing classical violin, later expanding into bluegrass and folk. In 1999 she added the nyckelharpa, an old Swedish folk instrument, to her repertoire. Colorado native Dominick Leslie started playing the ukulele at age 4. In 2004 he was the youngest contestant ever to win the Rockygrass mandolin contest. He has also studied jazz at the Berklee College of Music. Sylla is a master percussionist from Guinea, West Africa, who performs on balafon and djembe. The three play their own compositions as well as music from Europe and India, jazz, bluegrass, and folk music. Tickets for the Outpost concert are $22; see www.ampconcerts.org. Admission to the Gig date (www. gigsantafe.com) is $15 at the door. — PW

Shades of grunge: Colorblind Poet

Daniel Murphy of Colorblind Poet tries to maintain blindness when it comes to genre identification, if not color. Every band must at one time hazard the waters of self-classification, so while Murphy explained to Pasatiempo that he is hesitant to oversimplify his project, he concluded, “I’ve been calling the genre grunge-folk.” In a town with plenty of folk but a relative lack of grunge, Colorblind Poet emphasizes some of the genre’s “instrumental intricacies and technical stuff,” according to Murphy. The band has existed in various forms since early 2006, with some permutations in personnel along the way. Murphy, who also plays in popular local rock group The Strange, has remained the driving force behind the music along the way. Colorblind Poet performs at Second Street Brewery at the Railyard, 1607 Paseo de Peralta, on Friday, June 14, at 5:30 p.m. There is no cover charge. Call 989-3278. — LB

Paul Weideman I The New Mexican

ome pairings of old and new photographs of Chaco Canyon sites depict what appears to be reverse aging. The truth is that preservationists have rebuilt walls, roomblocks, and kivas so the structures appear to be growing. An example is seen in two views of the east end of Pueblo Bonito in the new book Time and Time Again: History, Rephotography, and Preservation in the Chaco World. One is an 1897 photograph featuring a rough curve of wall ruins. In author and photographer Peter Goin’s 2000 picture, the semicircle is now full of reconstructed rooms and kivas. “This is one of the amazing things about thinking about time as a cultural construct, that we have the ability to reconstruct our understanding of history to a more pleasing and more romantic sentiment,” Goin told Pasatiempo. The book from Museum of New Mexico Press, with text by Lucy Lippard, contrasts old and new views of many of the Ancestral Pueblo sites at Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde. But this is not merely rephotography. Goin and Lippard pull that simple subject inside out, examining the biases of the reconstructors and other issues of more philosophic import. Goin’s priorities show up in a comment he made about his two current book projects, one a Lake Tahoe history with rephotography and the other a portrait of Lake Powell in terms of climate change. “Again, I’m using the language of photography to get involved in larger concepts of sense of place, of landscape, of biotic community, of how we perceive the environment in which we live.” Among Goin’s other books are Stopping Time: A Rephotographic Survey of Lake Tahoe (1992) and, with Paul Starrs, Black Rock (2005) and Field Guide to California Agriculture (2010). Lippard is the author of Eva Hesse (1976), The Pink Glass Swan: Selected Essays on Feminist Art (1995), Down Country: The Tano of the Galisteo Basin, 1250-1782 (2010), and many other books. She is a member of the Galisteo Basin Archaeological Sites Protection Act Committee, but she is not an archaeologist. She did make an effort to heed admonitions from archaeologists to avoid “the Chaco vortex,” meaning the morass of facts and big questions about the place and the people who lived there. “With Chaco, you think you’re just going to stick your toe in, and then the rest of you goes in and you drown,” she said. In her work on Time and Time Again, Lippard ended up diving right in. She tells the reader that Chaco Canyon was “a regional magnet as early as the late 400s,” but it was in the ninth century that the so-called Chaco Phenomenon began. “How, one wonders, was this place chosen to become a social and religious center on a scale hitherto unknown in the Southwest, never to be replicated after its two and a half florescent centuries?” Thousands of people occupied Chaco and built a remarkable system of buildings and roads, but by the late 13th century they were all gone. In the book’s final chapter, “No Conclusions,” Lippard says the great houses of Chaco mostly “lay silent (or inaudible) for almost two centuries” after the abandonment. For some time before the coming of Europeans, the area was continued on Page 30

Chaco Phenomenon, continued from Page 29 apparently used by others. “The Navajo were in there, and nobody knows when,” Lippard said. “The earliest actual date I think is the early 1500s, but they were well settled by then. They were on the site.” In the early 20th century, preservationists began efforts to stabilize and repair structures at Chaco and Mesa Verde. Buildings were rarely completely rebuilt to some guessed-at semblance of “whole” but rather were restored to a lesser height so that visitors could imagine what had been there. “This is a lot of the core narrative of the book: who gets to say what is the most pristine concept of a ruined site, and where does it fit within our imagination such that we arrest time at this particular moment of decay,” Goin said. Another matter of possibly idealized appearances is the texture of the buildings themselves. The characteristic core-and-veneer masonry, according to the book, consists of “elegant flat sandstone facings chinked with smaller stones alternating with thicker bands in different colors and sizes, containing a rubble core. However, 30

it is suspected that the masonry banding designs we so admire may once have been covered in layers of pale mud plaster.” “When we look back, we romanticize aboriginal identity,” Goin said, “and that’s part of the great narrative of the conquest that authors such as Patricia Nelson Limerick wrote about.” Limerick’s The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West was published in 1987. Rephotography’s strategy of pairing old and new photographs tends to emphasize two discrete moments, leaving the viewer ignorant of all the moments and appearances between them. It also “brings together two very different cultural experiences to form a new, almost surrealist reality,” Lippard writes. “The indigenous viewpoint is often buried between them, a visually unacknowledged presence.” When you look at the book’s contrasting photographs, you often notice that the vantage point is different. Goin said that is sometimes necessary because of changes in the landscape or structures since the original picture was taken. In other instances, he deliberately selected a different vantage point, one motivation being a desire to show more of the landscape surrounding the archaeological site — to expand the context and thus illuminate the ancient builders’ choices about site. With one fascinating subject, he subverts the whole rephotography modus. In his treatment of Chimney Rock, he chose to present an extreme panorama of the Chaco-centered landscape as seen from the Chimney Rock site. This is laid out on five consecutive pages but deliberately not as a gatefold. “It really indicated my effort to move away from rephotographing those documentary photographs and really reach back into the visual mind-set of those who lived there. The reason that I know that is that if you visit that site, it is obvious that this promontory was where they went and stood. Now we’re rephotographing the view itself. And instead of making it a foldout, you have to turn the pages and you have to read it. And my view is that they read the landscape. They had their points of measure and points of announcement. The scale of the view was so outrageous. So really switching the conceptual view back into time, that much was for me a very significant switch in how to look at these sites.” In the chapter “Road Stories, Celestial Landscapes, Sacred Geographies,” Lippard discusses the orientation of Chaco’s buildings to solar and lunar events. She writes of Chimney Rock, “As the northernmost outpost of the Chacoan system, this most spectacular site of astronomical events was perhaps all the more significant for its association with the extreme north. Chimney Rock, built around 1076 and occupied only in the Chaco era, is a great house surrounded by pithouse villages below. Set on a mesa 7,600 feet high just below two striking rock spires between which the moon rises roughly at the lunar standstill, it was built in the year of a lunar standstill, remodeled in 1093 to mark another standstill, and abandoned before 1150.” Lippard refers to an article by Brenda Todd in the summer 2010 issue of Archaeology Southwest. In 2009 Todd, then a doctoral student in archaeology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, supervised excavations of two rooms in the Chimney Rock Great House. “Todd suggests that pilgrims would have come from far and wide to climb a causeway, ascend a steep stairway, pass a ‘guardhouse,’ and crest the ridge to see the full moon rising between the spires at this auspicious moment.” A meaningful representation of that spectacle would be impossible to show in a book, but Goin does a good job of focusing on the magnificent view from Chimney Rock. Regarding the big questions about Chaco Canyon, Lippard said that one of the frustrating things about writing about this site is that archaeologists are always coming up with new ideas that you wish you had known when you were writing. It is likely that these ideas will remain only theories, unless some new test is devised to read the stories contained in artifacts. Meanwhile, the time and reality of the Chaco Phenomenon gets more and more remote. “And more and more confusing,” Lippard said. “Because the more extraordinary tests are developed, the more contradictions there will be, and some people won’t believe the new tests. Archaeology is nuts.” ◀

or a few months in the 1980s, Eli Levin sold out to the tourist market. The painter and etcher — who moved to Santa Fe in 1964, squatted in abandoned adobes and drank with rabble-rousers, had affairs with his female models, and generally lived a storybook Santa Fe artist life — signed a contract with a prestigious Canyon Road gallery. Levin, a 1930s social realist-style painter, agreed to paint still lives of Indian pottery. “That was probably the fanciest gallery I was ever in,” Levin told Pasatiempo. “I’ve always been able to do good still lives, but I did objects that weren’t aimed at anybody. These paintings were selling right off the easel. I did seven of them, and even though there are hardly any art critics in Santa Fe, some critic noticed and said it was too bad I’d finally sold out, but at least I’d waited a while. I was so hurt that I never did another one. I got into terrible tension with the gallery. I had to get a lawyer so I could get out of my contract. They were mean. They always wanted me to paint the same thing because it sold. The pressure was terrible.” Not long after, he got to know the controversial art dealer Forrest Fenn, with whom he liked to argue about art. Fenn gave Levin and his friends a two-day show in his gallery and then offered Levin a show of his own if he would paint bar scenes with some prespecified content. “He wanted cowboy bars, like in the movies, and you had to have whores and gunfights and cheating at cards. I said I couldn’t do that. He found a commercial artist to do it, and they had the show — and he sold! Fenn could just snap his fingers. He was a power maniac, such a strange character.” That the paintings were of bar scenes particularly rankled Levin, because since the beginning of his career he has been known for painting two things: bar scenes and nudes. Often, there are nudes in the bars. His bar patrons drink, dance, play music, fight, make art, and orate. Levin doesn’t like being told what to paint by galleries or customers, because if he’s not painting what comes from inside his head then the art becomes less serious. Another danger for him has been nude models, with whom he had “a variety of relationships” and over whom he tended to obsess. “To obsess over the woman you’re painting rather than the painting — that’s kind of heavy. Some people would give their eyeteeth for that. I’m just a private person. I also don’t do portraits. It could be anyone who asked and I wouldn’t do it. It confuses my private life with my art in some kind of intimate way.” He was also convinced by some feminist thinking that nudes in general were a problem, because they were products of the male gaze. “I’ve written a whole essay about it, like 30 pages, but in a nutshell: you do get obsessed with the sexuality of it. A lot of clients get a lascivious charge out of it when they buy this stuff. I backed off. I don’t use nude models in my studio anymore. It was a lifestyle.” Levin has been drawing, etching, and painting since he was a little boy, and he’s always been serious about his pursuits, eschewing trends that emphasize messy expression over honed craft. He’s pretty sure most young artists would consider him old-fashioned, though he’d love it if old-fashioned young artists interested

in intaglio wanted to join the Santa Fe Etching Club he started with artist Sarah McCarty in 1980 that continues to thrive at Argos Studio/Gallery under the leadership of Eric Thomson. On Friday, June 14, in honor of his birthday, his friends and business partners are mounting an exhibit of his intaglio prints and paintings, Eli Levin’s 75th, at Argos. After that, Levin said, he’s retiring. Levin was born in New York. His parents were divorced when he was small; his mother, Mabel, remarried a wealthy man with whom Levin lived for a few years, until they got a divorce and Mabel, who had a doctorate in chemistry, got a job teaching at the University of Hawaii. He lived with her there and spent summers with his father, the writer Meyer Levin, and his father’s new family in Paris. “So, that was my childhood. My mother committed suicide back in the States when I was 12. She was an alcoholic.” After that, he lived with his father in New York. Meyer Levin was a war correspondent who went on to write several books, including Compulsion, a novel about the infamous murderers Leopold and Loeb. Meyer was integral to the publication of Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl but was shut out of the playwriting process and spent the rest of his life obsessed with — and litigating over — this injustice. “He wasted millions of dollars, all his creative energy. That was a kind of family disaster. He was paranoid, but he was a decent man. It was sort of another little catastrophe left over from the Holocaust. When he was a correspondent he went into all the concentration camps. That might have unsettled him, right from the get-go,” Levin said. At New York’s High School of Music & Art in the 1950s, teen artists, their left-wing, largely Communist parents, and their teachers were active and passionate about art and politics. Levin considers his high-school years one of the most idealistic times in his life, leading him to combine politics and social issues with art, the way his social realist teachers did. As a teenager, he took a weekly figure-drawing class at the city’s Art Students League and formed drawing groups of his own. He’d learned to etch even before entering high school, from an artist he met through a friend of his mother’s, with whom he stayed while she was in rehab. Levin continued his art education at the New School for Social Research, where he painted with Raphael Soyer, and then went on to Boston’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where he was denied a degree because he insisted on painting small-scale social realist works at a time when large abstract pieces had become all the rage. “I painted in egg tempera, and they wanted me to paint in oil. I’d already developed a style,” Levin said. “I don’t like modern art. I’ve written a book about it, though it’s not published yet. It’s called Why I Hate Modern Art.” continued on Page 34

PASATIEMPOMAGAZINE.COM

Eli Levin, continued from Page 32 Levin stayed in Boston for a couple of years and then he had a nervous breakdown. “I got this terrible poison ivy-like rash all over. My eyes were swollen closed. My nose was swollen closed. I had to use a pen knife to breathe, to open my mouth. I was locked up in my little slum apartment in the middle of winter. I didn’t even look like myself when I recovered from that. There was something wrong. I just felt so alienated that I started hitchhiking across the country. I didn’t plan to come to Santa Fe, but this is where I ended up.” It didn’t take Levin long to establish roots in Santa Fe. He’s been well known here for decades and has written books about the Santa Fe art colony of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. He’s gone back to the East Coast several times and taught at the University of Wisconsin for a bit, but he always returned to Santa Fe, and — save for his brief foray into painting for the tourist dollar — he’s kept to his social-realist ideals. Levin’s recent work includes nearly two dozen bar scenes, which will be on display at the Argos exhibit. He has also done series on cleaning ladies and janitors; Guatemalan workers in Dixon, where he lives now, with his girlfriend; local people in the town outside of their houses; and one on torture at

Abu Ghraib. And he is a honest-to-goodness card-carrying Communist. He keeps the red plastic card in his wallet. Levin’s life is the stuff of Santa Fe lore and legend, the kind of life that probably couldn’t happen today because of the lack of abandoned adobes for artists to convert for free into studios. Though he has lived here for the bulk of his life and considers himself a regional artist, he has some misgivings about leaving the East Coast art world behind. When all is said and done, he wishes he had been more game for the rigor and competitiveness of the New York scene. “I might have made a mistake living here. If I’d had the strength of character and the guts I would have stayed in New York. But this is a nicer life. Probably if I’d gone back to New York I would have been dead years ago from hypertension.” ◀

The new-media carnival of Currents 2013

Michael Abatemarco I The New Mexican

the sensory experiences offered at this year’s installment of Currents, an international festival of new media, are any indication, gone are the days when “new media” was simply another term for video. Of course, there will be plenty of video but also a whole lot more. The center of the activity, as in past Currents, is El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, with satellite events occurring at locations across town throughout the month, culminating in a free concert at the Railyard Plaza by D Numbers on June 29. The festival is the brainchild of Mariannah Amster and Frank Ragano, digital media artists whose organization Parallel Studios began producing the festival in 2002 at the Center for Contemporary Arts, with only eight video artists. Past Currents occurred sporadically between the years 2002 and 2009, but the festival has grown in size to become an annual event over the last four years. Several galleries and art venues are partnering with Parallel Studios for Currents 2013, including Zane Bennett Contemporary Art, which hosts a talk by César Meneghetti at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 15. Meneghetti worked with physically and mentally disabled people from Rome’s Community of Sant’Egidio, a Christian evangelical charity organization, on his project I\O — a component of which, called Opera #01, is on view at El Museo. Also at Zane Bennett is a panel discussion on June 21, “Art and the Legacy of Artificial Life.” In addition, CCA hosts New Media: Arts and Sciences, an afternoon of events on June 23 presented by 1st-Mile Institute’s SARC (Scientists/Artists Research Collaborations) program. The day’s activities include screenings, panel discussions, and presentations. Together with “Art

and the Legacy of Artificial Life,” it represents one of several convergences — this one between art and science — that make Currents 2013 a dynamic, broadly focused festival. Other convergences include music and new media as well as live multimedia performances that incorporate video projection and video installation. Details of all events, including performance times, can be found on Currents’ website, www.currentsnewmedia.org. The opening weekend starts with 5 p.m. receptions on Friday, June 14, at David Richard Gallery — which offers Projected, an exhibition of digital and video artwork by Susan Herdman, Matthew Kluber, and collaborators Max Almy and Teri Yarbrow — and at Zane Bennett, host of the exhibit Projections in New Media. But the main event is at El Museo, where, beginning at 6 p.m., visitors can see examples of web art, gaming, experimental documentaries, and other new-media installations. Among the nearly two dozen artists with single-channel videos at El Museo are Snow Yunxue Fu of Guiyang, China; Karl F. Stewart of Düsseldorf, Germany; and Jennifer Berger of Los Angeles. Also at the El Museo opening are a series of performances by Miwa Matreyek, Paula Gaetano Adi, The Bridge Club, and Xristina Penna that run at specific times throughout the evening. Penna’s interactive installation I know this, I do this all the time (I don’t like it though) relies on audience participation. Audience members, using a device similar to an overhead projector, draw images projected onto the face of the performer, erasing the line between observer/object and referencing psychic processes. Matreyek’s Myth and Infrastructure involves a mix of live shadow play and digital media with the artist’s silhouette, from behind a screen, interacting with projected animation.

This year, the submitted single-channel video and video-installation work includes a lot of geometric imagery evocative of mandalas, particularly in the installations of Bonnie Lane from Melbourne, Australia, and Santa Fe artist Flame Schon. “Those two videos are very much based on a kind of mandala structure, but we got a lot more submissions like that,” Ragano said. Such imagery is something Currents has avoided showing in the past. “Usually I find it very gimmicky, but these are quite beautiful and very compelling.” Participation by local artists is something Ragano and Amster strive to include every year. Along with Schon, others from Santa Fe are Anne Farrell, Madelin Coit, and Matthew Chase-Daniel. Chase-Daniel’s mobile gallery, Axle Contemporary (a project with Jerry Wellman), will be parked by the Railyard Plaza during opening night and features an interactive performance and installation by August Muth called The Carnival of Shattered continued on Page 43

Other brothers: César Meneghetti’s I\O project

an Servolo, a small island in the Venetian Lagoon, was the site of a historic 18th-century asylum, which closed in 1978 after psychiatriccare reforms went into effect across Italy. Now, San Servolo is home to Venice International University, a consortium of educational and cultural institutions. It is also the site of a major work by Italian-Brazilian artist César Meneghetti, whose project I\O_I Is an Other appears in this year’s Venice Biennial. The title is partly taken from a line by Arthur Rimbaud. Santa Feans have an opportunity to experience part of I\O at Currents 2013 at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, where Meneghetti’s I\O Opera #01, a video installation, is being shown. For the overall I\O project, four years in the making, Meneghetti collaborated with members of Rome’s Community of Sant’Egidio who were involved in an ongoing art lab program. The art lab works with the mentally and physically disabled — many of whom were directly affected by the closing of the hospitals in the late 1970s — allowing them opportunities for creative self-expression. San Servolo has been a major component of the project, because of its history. Meneghetti discusses I\O at Zane Bennett Contemporary Art (435 S. Guadalupe St., 982-8111) at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 15. I\O was conceived in several stages, which Meneghetti calls “verifications,” and culminated in a multimedia work. The first verification involved interviewing members of the community who then were given an opportunity to interview Meneghetti, volunteers from Sant’Egidio, and curators Simonetta Lux and Alessandro Zuccari. “We set up about 30 questions about some issues of existence: love, god, death, things like that,” Meneghetti said. “I don’t call this an interview. It was a horizontal relationship. I observed them; they observed me. I never met, don’t have in my family, and don’t have friends who are disabled, so for me it was a way to break through this barrier of preconceptions. I think we did break this barrier.”

For the second verification Meneghetti taught the participants about new media. “We talked a lot about what is reality, and what is truth,” he said. “One of the issues was self-portraiture, how they see themselves and how they see the world — different from how I see or how we see the world as pseudo ‘normals.’ ” The third verification was a type of conference that involved philosophers, writers, poets, art historians, and staff from the Franco Basaglia Foundation. (Basaglia, a psychiatrist, was an outspoken critic of Italy’s mental-health facilities and was instrumental in reforming them.) The conference was held at San Servolo. The fourth verification involved filming a series of workshops with deaf, autistic, and other mentally or physically challenged members of Sant’Egidio. Meneghetti later arranged the results into a video presentation. “They talk about love, about life, reality, discrimination,” he said. “Humanity is 360 degrees. If you exclude people for race, for religion, or for mental conditions you are missing something of humanity. That’s the thing.” — Michael Abatemarco

Currents, continued from Page 41 Dreams. Chase-Daniel’s own video installation, Venice Beach, is on view at El Museo. Area high schools and colleges also take part. Elliot Roberts, Julia Griffin, Keith Riggs, and Brandon Birkey, who participated in Santa Fe University of Art and Design’s Outdoor Vision Fest in April, show video projections at the Railyard Plaza, along with a light and fog installation by Jack Snider and performances under the water tower by Meow Wolf DJ’s Dirt Girl and P.F.F.P. A site-specific video presentation by Molly Bradbury is shown on the west wall of Warehouse 21. Video projects at the Institute of American Indian Art’s Digital Dome begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 15, and run on various dates throughout the month. As for high school video projects, Currents 2013 offers more than what’s been included in the past. “Usually we just show single-channel video work on a dedicated flat panel for the student work, which we also have this year,” Ragano said. “But this is the first year that we actually have some installations from the students. Two of them are from Santa Fe Prep, and one is from the New Mexico School for the Arts. One from Santa Fe Prep has three different screens with three different videos happening. Two students have actually created a built installation, a slanted nine-foot apparatus, and projected onto the apparatus is, I believe, the Santa Fe River. At the foot of this is a Google map that shows you where you are along the river. We’re very excited to have work from the students that moves beyond single channel — not that single-channel work isn’t great; it’s just something different.” Between gallery exhibitions, performances, and the new-media exposition at El Museo, Currents offers a lot to take in and is, without question, among Santa Fe’s largest annual community art happenings. It’s local, it’s international, it’s fun, it’s free, and it’s huge. ◀

Paul Weideman I The New Mexican

Sounds from silence Strangenesses.

That is one way of describing Timothy Weaver’s works of art that incorporate images of extinct species and attempt to translate their once-upon-a-time DNA profiles into musical elements that can be played. ArthropodaChordataConiferophyta is his performance piece for the new-media festival Currents; the title refers to three phyla or classes of organisms within which are insects, birds, and cone-bearing trees, respectively. “For this performance in Santa Fe I’ll be playing morphological lines of these different extinct species from direct scans I have,” Weaver said from his office at the University of Denver. “I’ve been working with the Museum of Nature and Science here in Denver; I had access to their extinct-species collection to scan them on a flatbed scanner to do these real large-scale prints and video works and try to bring back these residues that none of us have ever seen.” By “residues,” he is referring to extinct species and the voids in our ecological milieu, and in the planet’s gene pool, left by their departures. For his art, he is working with the “sonification of lost genomes,” as he put it. “If I have the passenger pigeon genome information, for example, I can take that data — in proteins it

PASATIEMPO I June 14 -20, 2013

might be an amino-acid sequence and in DNA it would be a nucleic-acid sequence — and if I have a sequence in data form, I can put that into software I’ve written to translate as a note so I can play it like an instrument. It’s a sound-based expression of the lost DNA.” Weaver said he felt it was time to give some priority to art after 15 years of working in protein engineering, microbiology, and cloning human proteins. “I’ve been focusing on the same things I was in science: the fragility of life and the vulnerability of certain species and different ecosystems, and then I happened onto this whole thing of ecological memory and where that places us in terms of time and space when we have a realization of our ecology around us.” He is an associate professor and director of the Emergent Digital Practices program in the University of Denver’s School of Art and Art History. The program

Timothy Weaver translates extinct creatures’ genetic code into music seeks students who are interested in shaping the futures not only of social media and smartphone applications but also of “humane games,” “science fiction as techno-cultural forecast,” and “digital humanities.” That last one might bring to mind scary automated beings who can steal our psyches. Rather, Weaver deals with “humanities that are empowered or extended by digital intervention, so it could be how social media affects human rights, and it has implications in phenomenology and theology. We’re coming up with all these new ways of assessing how we interact with people and just accepting it, and also what other life forms mean to us, so I’m going back to the point of an artist looking for pigment and sound base from data.” The Currents work is in three movements. The first, “Arthropoda,” deals with lost insect migrations, specifically locust swarms. Remnants of the locusts that existed in the American West in the 1870s have been held frozen in glaciers in Wyoming — glaciers that are now melting. “I’ve worked a lot the last four years with data from a cultural entomologist, Jeff Lockwood, at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. I have drawings from the 1880s from the first entomological

surveys of these swarms and then the DNA sequence that Jeff gave me from the glaciers. That’s the basis of the first movement that’s being performed through an interface I’ve built.” Weaver coaxes video and audio elements from two-dimensional prints on which he has outlined the extinct organism’s form in graphite. “You can take electronic probes and stick them into the graphite to form a circuit, then channel the video and audio data of the shape. One student says it’s witchcraft.” For the movements “Chordata” and “Coniferophyta,” Weaver engages with the memory of the extinct passenger pigeon and with the microscopic structure of a redwood cone; in the latter he also references an endangered bird, the marbled murrelet, which nests in the redwoods of central California. ArthropodaChordataConiferophyta is about both science and music. “I’m interested in terms of new creative expression, bringing into dialogue how we value these new visions of life forms and how we start to assimilate them.

about the DNA of something that’s extinct or endangered, how is that different from when we’re face to face with that being? “Then the other thing I find really compelling is the experience of performing video and audio at the same time, and the video is affecting the audio in terms of maybe pulling color information from some of these direct scans of lost species like the feather pattern of a lost bird, and the way it affects the music that I can respond to as a performer and as an artist. So I’m looking for new sensoria to express those things but also new modes to be able to talk around really complex issues of how we value life and how we assess the loss of ecological memory of species that had migrated through this part of the world for tens of thousands of years and all of a sudden there’s a big hole there.” The paraphernalia that comprise Weaver’s “instrument” and his performance methodology permit the manifestation of an unpredictable image or sound. “Sometimes it’s completely hypnotic because I’ve never seen it before, and so I get to follow that lead in kind of a jam with these residues of lost life forms,” he said. “I’ve also started to put myself into the work more because of some things that have happened having to do with my own mortality, so there’s that personal aspect as well.” Weaver’s recent projects have been featured at Subtle Technologies in Toronto, FILE Hipersonica in Brazil, Transmediale in Berlin, and the Korean Experimental Art Festival in Seoul, among other exhibitions and festivals. One focus of his during the last six years is glacial recession and biodiversity loss in South America. This summer, he jaunts to Iceland to do some time-lapse photography of the last nesting grounds of the great auk. And closer to home, he’s interested in listening to the movement of water and nutrients through the circulatory systems of trees. “I live in the foothills between Boulder and Golden, and I have about 380 trees on my property. I’ve been living with them for 20 years, and I’m trying to set up monitoring so I can compose music from the flow of fluids through them in different times of the year. This comes from a project of David Dunn’s down there in Santa Fe. Some years ago he was monitoring the piñon trees after the beetle infestation where he was trying to establish if there was a vibration of the trees from being in duress that the insects could hear. “David put out this project where people could use a special piezo microphone, which he described as a mixture of a greeting card and a meat thermometer. That technology is actually not as available now, but there are very sensitive piezo pickups they make to fit under the bridges of guitars and violins, and you can insert them into the outside bark of the tree and pick that up on an electronics board and send it wirelessly to another place and play it like an instrument.” ◀

Something’s happening here Take a seat with The Bridge Club

he Bridge Club probably isn’t what you think. Annie Strader, Christine Owen, Emily Bivens, and Julie Wills are not little old ladies who meet up to play cards. They make up a collaborative of performance artists, coming to Santa Fe to immerse you in a slightly uncomfortable, otherworldly experience. Medium, a multimedia performance piece by the group, is one of several public performances during the opening weekend of Currents 2013 at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe. You might think of Medium as a typical bridge-club meeting, insofar as there are four participants, and they all sit in chairs. However, there is no table, no cards, and the chairs rest not

We don’t typically acknowledge the audience, almost as if we exist in a different time or space. ... We capitalize on the awkwardness of that. Awkwardness is sort of our forte. — Emily Bivens of The Bridge Club

PASATIEMPO I June 14 -20, 2013

on the floor but suspended from the walls of the room where members of the group interact with video projections and one another. Three performances are scheduled throughout the evening of Friday, June 14, with another three on Saturday, June 15. The Bridge Club’s pieces are often of long duration, sometimes lasting over several days, and are site specific, incorporating not just the physical landscape of a geographic location but its history and culture as well. Wearing wigs and costumes that evoke bygone eras, the artists conflate past and present to suggest themes of universality and commonality. Medium was performed only once before, in August 2012 at the Art Palace Gallery in Houston. Owen and Bivens spoke with Pasatiempo about their performance style and the physical demands of their art form. Pasatiempo: You have been working together for nearly a decade. How did it all come about? Emily Bivens: We started working together quite informally in graduate school. We quickly realized that there were ideas we were all interested in and best pursued as a collaborative. Christine Owen: It was sort of spontaneous. Pasa: What is going on with these characters or personas you create for these pieces? They all seem very similar to one another, the way they dress. Bivens: When we’re all in character we see ourselves less as individuals and more as a type of person that might experience these unified themes. So the collaborative really works for that multiple perspective rather than the individual perspective. Owen: Our costuming kind of make us anonymous. We realized we could

All photos: The Bridge Club performing Medium, Art Palace Gallery, Houston, 2012

play around with ideas of gender and how gender changes because our outfits are nonspecific and of different eras. There’s always an ambiguity in our costuming. Pasa: Are the performances spontaneous happenings or more choreographed? Owen: We have grown to think of ourselves as modern dancers — no. I’m totally kidding. When we find ourselves explaining what we do as performance artists it’s often said, “Oh, you’re a dancer,” and, speaking for myself, I’m quite clumsy. Some of our performances require arduous, physical choreography that we’re training ourselves to do. But it’s not innate, and we don’t have any professional training doing it. Bivens: I would say, too, that one of the ways that we work is we set up circumstances or a logic with certain rules of participation where there’s structure but we leave a good deal up to the movements that occur within that time/space parameter — a loose structure, but we let our interactions dictate how we proceed. Owen: We have a skeleton of action, but there’s improvisation that fleshes it all out. Pasa: You’re responding to one another, but are you interacting with the audience as well? Bivens: We don’t typically acknowledge the audience, almost as if we exist in a different time or space. At the same time, the audience’s movements and interactions definitely affect how we’re able to move or interact within a space. There’s a tension, I think, built from that lack of interaction while being in the same exact space as the viewer. We capitalize on the awkwardness of that. Awkwardness is sort of our forte. Owen: We do a lot of work in public spaces. When we were invited to do Medium at the Art Palace, we were forced to address the walls of the gallery. We considered how to address the walls conceptually, aesthetically, and that’s how we ended up putting ourselves up on the wall. We feel more like the observers in the space. That creates a different kind of relationship between the viewer and ourselves. It just flips it a little bit. Bivens: What I found really interesting about Medium is that the audience was really captivated by the subtlety of our eye contact. So for example, if I looked across the room, the entire audience followed my gaze. The audience was looking at us, but their actions became the center of the performance. Pasa: The title Medium seems to have several connotations. What are some of your ideas about that? Owen: It’s connecting up with the idea that artworks can be available for knowledge and how we access this information. There’s a performer on the wall who has a stack of books on her lap and is searching through the books

and tearing pages. The books are a collection of technology books, anatomy books, how-to books — Bivens: Nursing books. Somewhat antiquated books. Owen: The manuals are maybe not accurate any longer, or this method of finding information is not accurate. So it references this idea like a medium, meaning otherworldly messages, and that artwork requires a medium. The sound components and video components are integrated into the performance. The images being projected are in a circle around the performer on a particular wall. It has images of clouds going by and also text. Pasa: It must a difficult piece to perform, because of the physical demands required. Bivens: The suspended state is a difficult one. We’re often doing durational performances that require stamina. The length of time becomes interesting. People are often surprised at what they want to sit and stare at. We want to push that moment where there’s not necessarily a beginning or an end where we’re telling the audience when it’s no longer appropriate to watch. They’re actually deciding that on their own. It’s important for it to be long enough so that the audience is left to make that decision for themselves. There is a sense that it just continues, that it just is. Owen: Typically, our performances are a one-off because they are site specific. It’s exciting to get a chance to re-perform this piece. We didn’t know how painful it would be to sit in that straight-backed chair for two hours until we actually did it. We once did a performance where we wore these very high-heel shoes. That was it’s own form of discomfort. Bivens: Although mine were cozy as could be. I don’t know what you guys were doing wrong but my stilettos were just fine. Owen: We also each have different kinds of pain thresholds. Bivens: Mine being the lowest, in case you weren’t clear about that. ◀

Loren Bienvenu I For The New Mexican

PrePared imProv Darwin Grosse

anet Feder prepares her guitar in ways that extend beyond just tuning the strings. Among other innovations, she adds different objects (generally of metal) on or between the strings to create a richer range of harmonic, tonal, and percussive possibilities. Feder explained, “I want to hear myself do things that I’ve never heard before. That’s just what makes me happy.” This, she continued, is the “prime motivator in what I do.” Feder is in town to perform as part of a trio for Currents 2013. Fellow boundary-pushing artists Andrew Pask (clarinet, saxophone, analog and digital systems) and Darwin Grosse (visual elements) appear with her onstage. The trio performs at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe on Saturday, June 15, and Grosse and Pask offer a duo reprise the following day, also at El Museo.

Like Feder, Pask alters the sound of his instruments in unusual ways. However, he uses digital effects, rather than material objects, to explore distant sonic frontiers. Pask explained that his system of processing is “mostly unpredictable ... I do not control the audio processing I am doing literally, rather, I set processes in motion and they evolve. This sort of evolution of the sound and the processing sits well in an improvisational context like ours.” That context extends even to the visual side of each performance. “I create visual systems that use a variety of cues from the players — their sound, tonal range and movement — to generate performance-specific results,” Grosse explained. “Additionally, I control the visuals in a way that informs the results based on my own emotional attachment to the music, providing second- and third-order reactive effects.” These reactive effects are in marked contrast to what Grosse described as “the typical first-order effects that occur when, for example, a toot on the horn translates directly into a blotch on the screen.” Grosse develops visuals that react to the improvisations of his two collaborators but also alters them in the moment depending on how the music unfolds. The overall effect of the trio’s live shows is difficult to describe, not least because each performance is distinct and unpredictable. The three members are spread across different cities and states and play together infrequently. When they reunite, it’s common that they have grown artistically as individuals in the interim period, which in turn leads to developments in their overall sound. The uniqueness of each performance also results from the challenges of group improvisation. From Feder’s point of view, when it comes to live shows, she interacts with her two collaborators in different yet simultaneous ways. First, she explained, “I want to see what Darwin’s doing. What his visual content is doing. I want to learn the ways in which

“THE CHANT MASTER OF AMERICAN YOGA” –The New York Times

CURRENTS 2013 I can interact with him from this very analog place that I come from, and see and learn what he does with it so I can be a better responder to his work. When I play with Andrew, it’s a sort of wonderful far-reaching conversation that we have.” Despite differences in each of the trio’s “conversations,” their performances are not entirely random. In fact, the best label for the group’s approach is “structured improvisation,” Feder said. “We’re all in the same universe and responding to each other, and generating content at the same time that is both sonic and visual, that typically does have an arc. By that, I mean a beginning, a middle, and an end. It has direction, it has momentum, it has outcome.” The trio is sure to feel at home at Currents. Feder co-curates a newmedia festival in Boulder called MediaLive, and she looks forward to seeing friends and colleagues gathered in Santa Fe. “There’s a sort of kinship among people far and wide who are doing new media,” she said. “We get to know each other and cross-pollinate.” Feder’s familiarity with the avant-garde probably results from her experiences as a curator and educator. Until recently, she was the chair of the music department at Naropa University. Grosse is an adjunct professor at the University of Denver, and Pask is an in-demand programmer who has designed onstage performance systems for Herbie Hancock, among others. As part of their Currents appearance, Grosse and Pask are leading two workshops on Max/MSP, software used to coordinate video and audio, among other things. The software is integral to the trio’s ability to improvise in a connected way. The first workshop is on Saturday, June 15, at Warehouse 21, and is called “Rapid Development of Visual Performance Tools.” In Pask’s words, this workshop is a “hands-on introduction to creating flexible video performance systems.” Participants do programming in Max (with the associated video-processing software Jitter) and learn “how you can easily build complex video processing routines, and control and perform live with them.” The second workshop, on the following day, also at Warehouse 21, is called “Exploring the Analog Model.” Participants will learn how to incorporate “analog audio equipment with modern computer-based DSP processing for performance,” by using Max and “programming in a virtual modular synthesizer environment called BEAP,” Pask said. Though these jargon-heavy descriptions might sound intimidating, both workshops are geared toward beginners. Experience with Max programming is not necessary, and participants need only bring a laptop and headphones. Best of all, these daytime crash courses are followed each night by live performances from the pros — performances sure to highlight that, when analog improvisation meets digital programming, anything can happen. ◀

Partial enlightenment Loren Bienvenu I For The New Mexican One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das, documentary, not rated, The Screen, 2.5 chiles Krishna Das, whose deep, hypnotic voice has helped him become one of the leading chant recording artists of all time, spends more time talking than chanting in Jeremy Frindel’s documentary, One Track Heart. This is not necessarily a bad thing — Das’ life is certainly worth exploring at length, particularly when it intersects with those of other well-known Western converts to Eastern spirituality. If you’re only interested in his music, buy a CD; if you’re interested in his narrative, watch the movie. Frindel does an admirable job of compiling interview and archival footage, especially considering it’s his first time directing a feature. His previous credits are for editing and sound editing. The film serves primarily as a tribute to Das, and it falls short of developing a clear, overall trajectory that explains exactly who the famous chanter is, what he does, and why he’s so influential. Indeed, those unfamiliar with Das might be a little confused when it comes to the specifics of his music. He is known for interpretations of traditional Hindu kirtan, but what exactly is Hindu kirtan? We never explicitly learn that it’s a devotional system of calland-response hymns based on the Bhakti movement of Hinduism. On the other hand, Das devotees already in the know will discover plenty of biographical and anecdotal gems in the film. Das’ early life is particularly well portrayed, beginning with his youth, when he was simply Jeffrey Kagel of suburban Long Island, continuing on to his morose teenage years, when he fell in love with the blues and started jamming with

PASATIEMPO I June 14 -20, 2013

the band that would later become Blue Öyster Cult, and culminating in a period of drug experimentation and soul searching during the late 1960s. This last period is when many of the more interesting characters in the film make their first appearances. Kagel’s transformation to Das began in 1969 when he met Ram Dass (formerly Richard Alpert, who was Timothy Leary’s boss at Harvard before the two were fired for their notorious LSD psychology studies). Ram Dass was a disciple of Hindu guru Maharaj-ji, and he had just begun spreading his teachings in America. These teachings inspired Das to travel to India in 1970 in search of their original source. Maharaj-ji seems at times to be the real star of the film. Ram Dass tells his oft-recirculated account of giving the guru large doses of LSD to no apparent effect, the implication being that Maharaj-ji’s superior plane of consciousness is immune to manipulation by drugs. Tales like these, combined with archival footage of the charismatic and peaceful man, make it clear why he had such a profound, albeit trickledown, effect on an entire generation of curious Westerners. It is to Maharaj-ji that Das’ musical career is dedicated. Several particularly poignant clips in the film occur when present-day Das recalls the guru and his message of universal love, the wistfulness still apparent in his voice even 40 years after Maharj-ji’s death. This older, wiser Das is completely candid in both appearance and word. Having thrown off his robes years ago in favor of T-shirt and jeans, he looks like a man one might bump into at the local coffee shop or Apple Store, as opposed to a renowned musical and spiritual leader. His continuous personal evolution is intentional — a matter of casting off appearances and desires in favor of focusing on the music itself. Paradoxically, because many of the film’s most powerful moments show Das performing, we also end up craving more of the music itself by the end of the documentary. His signature Western-influenced devotional yogic chanting is fascinating in the ways it transports his audiences. Prolonged footage of Das in action, then, would help show the music’s power and appeal, as opposed to primarily discussing it. Frindel chooses instead to rely mostly on interview footage, avoiding long performance sequences as well as narration and voice-over. To his credit, some of the subjects he lands are well-known figures worthy of their own documentaries, foremost among them Ram Dass and Rick Rubin. However, the relevance of some interviewees in relation to Das could benefit from more explicit contextualization. Rubin, for example, is captioned at the beginning of the film as the “Grammy-winning producer of

Das Buddha: Krishna Das

Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Beastie Boys, and Jay-Z.” We only learn at the end that he produced a few Krishna Das records as well. Frindel’s roster of interviewees is also noticeably devoid of any critical sources. Just like any other international figure whose career stems from the intersection of the spiritual and commercial, Das deserves at least moderate scrutiny. In fact, he is himself aware of the potential contradictions present in his particular field, at one point jokingly recounting how one detractor labeled him “an American burger with Indian ketchup.” Such openness is refreshing. Das’ reluctance to sugarcoat the truth extends even to the darkest moments of his life, most notably an addiction to freebase cocaine that developed out of his despair over Maharaj-ji’s death. If Frindel would further explore these avenues, the portrait might be even richer. In the end, it is contradictions that both make Das a fascinating character and prevent the documentary from seeming fully comprehensive. “I could probably say the whole thing again and make it sound really mystical,” Das tells us after the credits roll. But, he concludes, who cares? Considering that large portions of the film’s commentaries are heavily mystic, his included, chances are that the target audience does. ◀

Saying with fire Jonathan Richards I For The New Mexican Before Midnight, talky drama, rated R, Regal DeVargas, 4 chiles Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) met and fell for each other back in 1995 (Before Sunrise), when they were young and beautiful and traveling by train through Europe. A decade later they met again by chance, in Paris (Before Sunset), still relatively young and beautiful, and though their lives had gone in different directions, the old chemistry was still there. Both stories ended with cliffhangers of sorts, leaving us to wonder if there would be a next chapter in the lives of these star-crossed lovers. The answer is in. Another 10 years have passed, and Celine and Jesse are still gratifyingly young and beautiful in their early 40s. And they are still together, having made the fateful commitment when Jesse chose to miss his plane home to his wife and child in ’04. They’ve stuck with it to the tune of not marriage but an enduring relationship that has twin daughters (Jennifer Prior and Charlotte Prior) to show for it. As their third movie chapter begins, Jesse is at an airport in Greece saying goodbye to his teenage son, Hank (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick), who is flying back from summer vacation to his mother in Chicago. It’s a nice matchup of neurotic adolescent angst and balanced maturity, with Jesse evincing the former and Hank the latter. It’s only when Jesse returns to the car, where Celine is waiting and the twins are asleep in the back, that you wonder if the scene may have been a bit overlong. But it’s essential underpinning for much of the conflict and conversation to come.

Chapter three: Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy

If you are not a fan of intelligent conversation in the movies, stop right here and go see Fast & Furious 6. Because talk is pretty much what you get. But it’s fascinating talk. As they drive back to the home of Patrick (Walter Lassally), a Greek writer friend with whom they’re staying, Celine and Jesse banter and tease and toss a few barbs. Over a leisurely outdoor meal with the writer and other guests, they discuss literature, love, and modern technology, and the differences between men and women (spoiler alert: men generally come off second best). And if you take the airport as prologue, the car as Act 1, and dinner as Act 2, then the third act is what it is all building to. Patrick and his friends have given Celine and Jesse a present for the last night of their stay: a hotel room and babysitting for the night. And so, with a bit of not misplaced reluctance, off they go. They stroll through fields and ruins and picturesque village streets toward their waterfront hotel. The scenery throughout (expertly photographed by Christos Voudouris) is beguiling, but not to the extent that it distracts from the conversation. Similarly, the score by Graham Reynolds, a light piano theme with echoes of Leonard Cohen’s haunting anthem “Hallelujah,” gently enhances the mood.

Once in the narrow confines of the hotel room, the mood changes. A gift of babysitting and a hotel room for a last night of vacation is intended for one basic purpose, for which romance is the polite term, and Celine and Jesse are no strangers to its meaning. But as they pour the wine and slide into foreplay, the other elements that make up their complex chemical formula are sizzling and fermenting, and the talk never stops, and emotional scabs are worried and picked at and then ripped off, and things are said that should never have been said, and all the elements that conspire in life to turn the idyllic into the excruciating come into play. It’s absorbing, and completely natural, and often very funny. The hurts are hurts we all can recognize, the warning signs are signs we’ve seen, and the hurtling past “Danger: Road Closed” barriers are accidents we know can happen. The dialogue, co-written by Hawke and Delpy with director Richard Linklater, is as natural as drawing breath, to the point that much of it might have been improvised around a set of themes. It has the rhythms of real life. The team of Linklater, Delpy, and Hawke has developed that level of comfort and trust, and it pays off here with a jackpot. Both actors are as good or better than they have ever been. The sense of commitment to the relationship, the good and the bad, is encompassing. In the Act 1 driving scene, as novelist Jesse floats a trial balloon about possibly moving to Chicago to be closer to his son, Celine digs in her heels. Fed up with the frustrations of being an activist do-gooder, she is considering an offer of a government job. “I’m not moving to Chicago,” she says. “This is how it starts,” she warns, picturing the drift of a relationship toward a precipice. “This is how it happens.” Sometimes that precipice is comfortingly far away, sometimes it rushes up with the terrifying immediacy of the chicken scene in Rebel Without a Cause, and as in that seminal scene, there are always two drivers behind the wheels of the racing cars. Will somebody jump before they go over the edge? ◀

The loyal family Robert Nott I The New Mexican Shadow Dancer, drama, rated R, Center for Contemporary Arts, 3 chiles A little boy happily rides his new bicycle in an open field in Belfast, 1993, as his loving family members — most of whom work for the Irish Republican Army — maintain a watchful eye. In the background, clouds and sunshine appear to be at perpetual war, and you just don’t know which way the day is going to turn, given the politically charged and dangerous atmosphere. The way the scene plays out, you may start feeling that something bad is going to happen. It doesn’t — not in this scene anyway — but this business symbolizes the driving sense of tension that permeates James Marsh’s direction of Tom Bradby’s screenplay Shadow Dancer, which is based on Bradby’s novel of the same name. It is a mostly quiet suspense film that pushes politics to the background as it tells the story of people who place allegiance to their family over loyalty to any cause. To do so, they must agree to pay a pretty high price. The unsettling tone of the picture kicks off early in a prologue that gives us some back story on one of the two protagonists. Collette (Andrea Riseborough) is a roughly 30-year-old single mother and unwilling member of the IRA who is not particularly adept at serving as a terrorist. After intentionally botching a planned IRA bombing of a subway tunnel, she finds herself in the clutches of agents from the British intelligence agency MI5. “Mac” (Clive Owen) is a high-ranking member of MI5. He gives Collette a choice: turn traitor on her IRA brothers and their cause or go to jail and never see her son again. He tells Collette that eventually

PASATIEMPO I June 14 -20, 2013

Into the shadows: Clive Owen and Andrea Riseborough

MI5 will relocate her, set her up in a safe house, and give her enough money to live out the rest of her life with her son. “Nobody dies,” he assures her. He is wrong. Shadow Dancer features just enough explosive energy to remind viewers that its players are living in dangerous times as both the British government and the major IRA players attempt to either broker a peace or destroy it. It is not a movie that gives you much background information on most of its characters. Mac comes off as a contemporary version of Clint Eastwood’s Man With No Name, a hero who believes in honoring his word to Collette even as his superiors decide to blow her cover in an effort to protect another informant known only as Shadow Dancer. Collette becomes Mac’s only family. Otherwise, as the film makes clear, he spends most of his days in the office sitting at his computer, wearing the same suit, smoking the same brand of cigarette. We never learn what made him this way, but Owen’s introspective turn makes you realize that Mac suffered

some loss in his past life. And if he has to break ranks with his organization to save Collette, he’ll do it. Collette’s main concern is her son. And she’s lucky that her two hot-headed brothers also value family ties more than their duty to their IRA comrades. It is this devotion to life that offers all these characters salvation in a volatile environment where all of them could be sacrificed for a greater cause. One of the joys of the picture is watching the way Marsh — whose 2008 documentary Man on Wire earned an Oscar — focuses his camera on the everyday activities of the people living in an unofficial war zone. They play, drink tea, hang out the wash, enjoy a beer at the pub, and shop. But always, the clouds in the skies above them paint those conflicting colors. Gray skies may just clear up, but then again, a violent cloudburst may send everyone scurrying for cover. The film has its problems. Once you’ve put together all the pieces of the puzzle — and there is a twist or two at the end that could throw you — you may leave the cinema saying to yourself, Wait a minute, that made no sense! A brief, daring scene wherein Collette surprises Mac with a passionate kiss to show how much she appreciates what he is trying to do for her hints at a romance that is never developed and threatens to mar the story’s potential. At times it seems like the excellent work of the ensemble cast is bridging gaps of logic in the storyline. But Marsh has a sensitive hand and eye, and the actors — including Gillian Anderson as Mac’s superior and Brid Brennan as Collette’s anxious mother — deliver fully rounded performances that reveal both their characters’ faults and admirable traits. They all come off as people who want to do the right thing in a world that has long given up on that concept. It’s too bad that the odds are against most of them — though one or two will find the price of redemption worth paying. ◀

Life of Thor Jonathan Richards I For The New Mexican Kon-Tiki, historical adventure, rated PG-13, Center for Contemporary Arts, 2.5 chiles The Kon-Tiki expedition that Norwegian Thor Heyerdahl and his crew undertook in 1947, to cross the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia on a balsawood raft named for a Peruvian sun god, was one of the great adventures of modern times. The footage they shot with their 16 mm camera became a documentary that won the Oscar in 1951. Heyerdahl’s account of the voyage was a thrilling bestseller that to date has sold more than 50 million copies in about 70 languages. Now there’s a feature film of that epic voyage. Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg and budgeted at $16 million, it’s the most expensive Norwegian movie ever made, and it entered the Oscar lists this year, losing out to Amour. Great adventures can make great movies, but it doesn’t always work out that way. This one, trimmed into episodes, would have fit nicely into the old serial programs that used to play before the feature in movie theaters on Saturday mornings. Right off the bat there are a couple of unfortunate decisions. The movie opens with a childhood scene that could have been filmed back in the days when child actors had a bad name. Daredevil Thor leaps onto a tiny ice floe, ignoring the plaintive cries of his playmates — “Thor, don’t!” — and he is pulled half-dead from the icy waters. The sequence ends as the plucky tyke lies in bed and his father begs, “Promise me you’ll never take a risk like that ever again. Promise!” Another irritant is the language. The filmmakers shot two versions, one (almost 20 minutes longer) in Norwegian, the other tooled for the English-

speaking market. The latter version is fine when Heyerdahl is bearding stodgy magazine publishers in their New York dens, but it rings false with his fellow Scandinavians at sea. The grown-up Thor is Pa˚ l Sverre Hagen, a lanky blond actor with a winning smile who resembles Peter O’Toole’s Lawrence of Arabia crossed with John Phillip Law in Barbarella. We first meet him in 1937 as a young anthropologist frolicking with his wife Liv (Agnes Kittelsen) on the island of Fatu Huku. There he hears tales from tribal elders of ancestors coming from the east. The nearest land to the east is Peru, more than 4,000 miles away. With that bee buzzing in his bonnet, Thor develops his theory that the Marquesas Islands were settled from South America. The scientific establishment scoffs. So the stubborn Heyerdahl decides to show them by building a raft using the technology and materials of 1,500 years ago and riding the Humboldt Current west. It’s a little like blasting off for the moon in a rocket you’ve built in your garage from old lawnmower parts. Heyerdahl assembles his crew, including a shlubby refrigerator salesman named Watzinger (Anders Baasmo Christiansen). It’s the Zach Galifianakis role, apparently there for comic relief, but without the comic relief, and apparently without historical accuracy — the real Watzinger was as buff and macho as the rest of them, and his family is said to resent the movie’s characterization. In fact, the crew are all blond and Nordic, and once their beards start growing out they’re pretty much indistinguishable one from the other. After an overlong buildup, they set out from Callao harbor, waving from the deck in their suits and ties, and hit the high seas. The high seas are where this story belongs, and some breath-stopping action scenes ensue as the raft battles storms and

sharks, encounters whales and flying fish, and wanders dangerously off course. There’s a delirious one-with-the-universe shot as the camera lifts up from the little craft, soars past the clouds, and sweeps through the Milky Way before drifting back down to the deck of Kon-Tiki. There’s a ginned-up scene in which Watzinger loses his nerve and harpoons a shark, but he redeems himself with some specialized knowledge at the end. For today’s audiences, the most terrifying challenge may be the lack of sunscreen as the raft drifts for 101 days under a broiling sun. Kon-Tiki can be exciting once it hits its watery stride, and the movie sometimes has us by the throat as these six men and a parrot undertake a trip that may have seen successful execution by primitive Peruvians a millennium and a half earlier but probably also sent plenty of them to Davey Jones’ locker. Heyerdahl’s insistence on using only period materials and technology to reproduce their feat (he does take a radio and a sextant, and keeps his notes on a typewriter) ignores the fact that the ancient Peruvians were no doubt experienced sailors. Heyerdahl, incredibly, couldn’t even swim. The voyage was an unqualified triumph and made Thor Heyerdahl a household name in Scandinavia and around the world. I have visited the Kon-Tiki Museum in Olso and seen the craft, and it raises the hairs on your neck to contemplate riding it across the bay, much less the Pacific. But the scientific community wasn’t swayed. Despite Kon-Tiki’s heroics, most anthropologists remained convinced that Polynesia was settled from the east, and recent DNA evidence seems to tie the local genetics to Taiwan. Who cares? The DNA may come from Asia, but that glorious act of surpassing adventure in a diminishing world certainly set sail from the west coast of South America. This movie doesn’t do it justice, but it does put Kon-Tiki back in the conversation. ◀

42 This version of the story of Jackie Robinson — the first African-American player in Major League Baseball — by writer-director Brian Helgeland aims for a double, not a home run. No big deal: the story has all the greatness one could want. In staying the course and paying attention to detail, Helgeland has crafted an uplifting movie. Much credit goes to the actors: Chadwick Boseman is every inch the movie star as Robinson, Harrison Ford delights as Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey, and the supporting cast is as sturdy as a Louisville Slugger. Rated PG-13. 88 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) FRANCES HA Writer and director Noah Baumbach’s latest movie, shot digitally in black and white, centers on a 27-year-old woman (Greta Gerwig, who also co-wrote) who is sliding down a rocky road with her struggling dance career and loosening relationships. Fortunately, her disposition is cheerful and optimistic, and for the most part, so is the film’s mood. Frances Ha nicely captures the awkward plight of those who struggle to find a place in the world and accurately represents floundering in your 20s. Rated R. 88 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) THE GREAT GATSBY Baz Luhrmann’s movie rendering of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel is The Great Gatsby the way Jay Gatsby might have directed it. Gaudy, extravagant, and ecstatically excessive, it lights up the screen like a lavish party into which Luhrmann hopes Daisy Buchanan will wander some night — and if not Daisy, then at least the rest of the world, looking for a good time. That is the quality that distinguishes this movie; when it slows down for the more intimate scenes, it usually fails to convince. Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire star. Rated PG-13. 143 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14 and Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards) THE HANGOVER PART III The Wolf Pack is back for one last bender, so pass around some shot glasses and high-five your bros! When a gangster named Marshall (John Goodman) kidnaps a member of the Pack (Justin Bartha), it’s up to the other three (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis) to find Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong) and recover Marshall’s stolen millions. As usual with the Hangover franchise, the best moments are those that play with Galifianakis’ offbeat persona. The rest of the film is so watered down that you won’t even catch a buzz. Rated R. 100 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker)

In Bed With Ulysses

IN THE HOUSE Sex and menace hover perpetually around the edges of this superior psychological thriller from François Ozon (Swimming Pool). Germain (the wonderful Fabrice Luchini) is a failed novelist who teaches literature in a French lycée. When a bright kid in his class shows a real talent for writing, Germain is hooked. Claude (Ernst Umhauer) writes about insinuating himself into the home of a classmate, Rapha (Bastien Ughetto), who needs help with his math homework. As story and life become muddled, one topping the other in melodrama and dubious dialogue, Ozon herds us toward a gratifying surprise ending. Rated R. 105 minutes. In French with subtitles. The Screen, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) THE INTERNSHIP Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson hope to revisit the success of their hit comedy the Wedding Crashers with this story of two grown men who attempt to jump-start their stalled careers by entering Google’s internship program. As the leads hit the check marks of the “rapscallions teach nerds how to live, and prove there is more to achieving success than just brains” story, the film comes off as a sobering look at the state of the economy combined with a two-hour ad for Google. It’s watchable, but it’s rarely funny and often as mediocre as its main characters. Rated PG-13. 120 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española; Storyteller, Taos.

THE IRAN JOB This crisp, fast-moving documentary follows basketball player Kevin Sheppard to a country few people want to play in: Iran. He lands on a new, last-place team and helps it grow. Along the way he meets several people — including three women living as second-class citizens under Iran’s strict regime — who help him personally grow. The drama of the sports season is downplayed, but the film shows the power of sports to bring people together. Not rated. 90 minutes. In English and Persian with subtitles. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) IRON MAN 3 Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is suffering from anxiety attacks when a terrorist called the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) starts blowing things up. Meanwhile, a billionaire inventor (Guy Pearce) has created a drug that regenerates human limbs and is plotting to kidnap the president. Luckily, Stark has developed an army of Iron Man suits he can summon from afar and control remotely. The special effects are eye-popping, but Downey’s typically barbed jabs are dull and the villains’ motivations are muddy at best. Rated PG-13. 130 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Laurel Gladden) LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED Danish director Susanne Bier, who normally deals in bleaker material, has gone all soft and cuddly here, and in lesser hands the result would probably be insufferably cute. But Bier manages to keep this valentine on a very enjoyable track, helped immeasurably by a fine cast led by Pierce Brosnan and the wonderful Trine Dyrholm. It’s a grown-up romantic comedy, beautifully photographed at a family wedding on an Amalfi coast, that will make you sing “That’s Amore.” Rated R. 110 minutes. In English, Danish, and Italian with subtitles. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards) MUD Matthew McConaughey is in top form as Mud, an Arkansas Delta back-country hothead with a ton of charm who enlists a couple of teenage boys (Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland) to help him reunite with his sweetheart (Reese Witherspoon).

irate father of a man he killed are out looking for him. It’s a colorful tale and a cautionary one. Director Jeff Nichols does a good job with style and character, but he lets the story run on too long and loses the handle at the end. With Sam Shepard and Michael Shannon. Rated PG-13. 130 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards) NOW YOU SEE ME First, you assemble a highly watchable cast, which includes Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, and Mélanie Laurent. Then you roll out a crackerjack setup: four illusionists perform a trick in Las Vegas in which one of their audience members is “teleported” to Paris to rob a bank. As the FBI and an opportunist who exposes magicians’ secrets close in on the illusionists, you make every scene interesting in and of itself. Abracadabra! You have a movie that’s wildly entertaining, despite having to cheat to connect all the dots. Rated PG-13. 116 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española; Storyteller, Taos. (Robert Ker) THE PURGE This movie imagines a future America in which peace is kept by giving the population 12 hours a year in which people can commit whatever crimes they’ve secretly been wanting to perform on the other 364.5 days. The premise is cynical but contains potential, which is squandered on a typical home-invasion horror story, with the creeping tension swapped out for gunplay. It’s well directed, but the flimsy script hints at moral quandaries that aren’t explored. Rated R. 85 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española; Storyteller, Taos. (Robert Ker) THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST Indian director Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) has taken The Reluctant Fundamentalist, an international bestseller by Mohsin Hamid, and ramped it up into a psychological and political thriller that is rich in complexity and taut with tension. Riz Ahmed (Trishna) is excellent as a young Pakistani torn between the fundamentals of two worlds: the sky’s-the-limit opportunities of the American capitalist system and the poverty, tradition, and unrest of his Pakistani roots. Saturday and Sunday, June 15 and 16, only. Rated R. 128 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS In the newest Star Trek movie, director J.J. Abrams ups the ante on action and visual effects. This film finds Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) at odds after a violation of the Prime Directive and the arrival of a genetically

enhanced villain (Benedict Cumberbatch). It steers the U.S.S. Enterprise in new and exciting directions while exploring themes of unjust war and terrorism. Rated PG-13. 132 minutes. Screens in 3-D and 2-D at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Rob DeWalt) STORIES WE TELL Actress Sarah Polley’s documentary exploration of her family history is better if you don’t know too much about it. Polley’s mother, Diane, who died of cancer in 1990, when Polley was 11, is the heart of the film, which is primarily constructed through interviews with her friends and family. Diane emerges as a complicated figure, and there’s no consensus on her character. Stories We Tell is about the Polleys, but it speaks to the mythmaking that occurs in all families. Rated PG-13. 108 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Adele Oliveira) THIS IS THE END This movie takes a hypothetical Hollywood hangout and rains the apocalypse down on it. James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Michael Cera, Emma Watson, Mindy Kaling, Paul Rudd, and others play caricatures of themselves during the end times. Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who collaborated on Superbad and Pineapple Express, co-direct. Rated R. 107 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española; Storyteller, Taos. (Not reviewed) TIGER EYES After Davey’s father is killed, her mother moves the family across the country to New Mexico, for an extended stay at their aunt and uncle’s house. Judy Blume’s beloved coming-of-age novel was adapted for the screen by the author and her son Lawrence Blume, who also directs. Performances are subtle, and casting is spot-on. The film is set in Los Alamos and Santa Fe, so local actors abound. Rated PG-13. 92 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. ( Jennifer Levin)

RESTAURANT REVIEW Bill Kohlhaase I For The New Mexican

Keep on the sunny side

Sunrise Family Restaurant 1851 St. Michael’s Drive, 820-0643 Breakfast & lunch 7 a.m.-3 p.m. daily Takeout available No alcohol Noise level: fine for small talk Vegetarian options Credit cards, no checks

•

The Short Order Sunrise Family Restaurant is an unassuming spot that delivers decent food at affordable prices. Breakfast — the standard egg and meat combinations as well as pancakes, waffles, French toast, omelets, huevos rancheros, and blimp-sized smothered breakfast burritos — is served all day. The home fries are simple but exceptional. New Mexican dishes are offered at lunch, as is traditional lunch and diner fare: sandwiches, soups, and salads. Two pork chops for $10.50? You’ve got to be kidding. Recommended: chile relleno omelet, carne adovada breakfast burrito, cheese enchiladas, and green chile cheeseburger.

Ratings range from 0 to 4 chiles, including half chiles. This reflects the reviewer’s experience with regard to food and drink, atmosphere, service, and value.

PASATIEMPO I June 14 -20, 2013

Somewhere between fine dining and fast food exists a shrinking category of restaurants that many of us visit on a regular basis. These sorts of places — cafés, diners, and “family restaurants” — offer simple sit-down meals that are freshly prepared and moderately priced. Those moderate prices are essential. You might be able to afford a fine-dining splurge on special occasions, but at your bread-and-butter spot, you don’t want to empty your wallet to fill your stomach. Of course, the food has to be decent. Sunrise Family Restaurant is that kind of place. It serves satisfying, if not extraordinary, breakfasts and lunches at prices that somehow seem out of place in today’s world. Sure, the two pork chops you get for $10.50 may not be as thick as the ones you’ll pay twice or three times as much for in that upscale restaurant. But they’re nicely finished, just slightly greasy, and equally filling. And that finedining place probably doesn’t offer tuna salad, menudo, chicken-fried steak, or breakfast all day long. Don’t be put off by Sunrise’s downscale appearance. The front of the bunkerlike building boasts a mural of green snowcapped mountains that looks like a gradeschool art project. The restaurant’s name is announced in bright red and yellow letters framed between strings of red ristras. The most eclectic decoration, on top of the entrance, is a giant old-school satellite dish that cradles two strips of painted bacon and one egg sunny side up. Inside, the place retains some of the character of its former occupant, the Green Onion Tavern, only it’s brighter, with yellow pressed-tin walls and low-budget art. Part of the bar has been cut away to afford better access to the kitchen. Don’t think because the parking places are filled, as they often are, that you won’t find room inside — it’s a spacious place. Weekdays it’s crowded at breakfast with laborers and the leisurely retired, almost all in ball caps. At lunch, the office pool tucks into patty melts and burritos. Sunday mornings, families take over. The menu — diner food New Mexican style — offers lots of choices. There are stacked enchiladas with fillings ranging from cheese and ground beef to shrimp and spinach. There’s a club sandwich and tuna salad. You can get a Frito pie or a Navajo taco made with fry bread. There’s grilled trout or salmon for under $9 and a T-bone for under $15. The chile rellenos here are crispy and oozing with cheese. The red and green chile sauces are spicy, though not as flavorful as others in town. The tamales and rolled enchiladas are fine but not exceptional, although the pinto beans that come with them are soft and tasty. The green chile cheeseburger is thick and misshapen, juicy unless you order it well-done, and blanketed with plenty

of cheese and chopped green chile. The fries, French or curly, are crisp. Order an airy sopaipilla, and you’ll be surprised at its size — as big as a loaf of French bread. If your taste runs to crispy Baja-style fish tacos, this may not be your place. While generous, the unbreaded fish here is grilled with onion and cheese before being rolled in a corn tortilla. Forgo the lime and hit it with the smooth but thick red salsa. The best meal here is breakfast. Sunrise does a good job with the standard egg and meat platters — they come looking almost as good as the one in the satellite dish — and you can get carne adovada in place of bacon, chorizo, or ham. The 6-ounce rib-eye that came with our perfect eggs was thin and not overly grilled; it’s not a fine cut of beef, but it’s satisfying and full of flavor. The breakfast burrito was as large as that blimp of a sopaipilla, the carne adovada inside spicy, and the red sauce a fine complement to those soft, delicious home fries. (You can get beans if you prefer.) Biscuits here are the soft, dense sort, but they’re served with a wonderful cream gravy flecked with sausage. Had a rough night? Menudo is offered daily. The coffee is standard diner joe, hot and endlessly poured. There’s nothing pretentious about the service here. It falters only during the lunch rush, when you might see your server run to take your order after delivering plates to the far room. Sunrise may not offer fine dining, but its food is fine enough. ◀

Leopold Bloom: Sensual Cuckold, Crucified Jew, Heroic Pacifist A Lecture in Celebration of Bloomsday Presented by James Heffernan

Sunday 16 June from 3-5pm New Mexico History Museum Auditorium

FREE (first-come, first-served) 113 Lincoln Avenue (use washington avenue entrance) Santa Fe, NM 505-476-5200 www.nmhistorymuseum.org

Bloomsday is a commemoration and celebration of the life of the Irish writer James Joyce during which the events of his novel Ulysses (which is set on 16 June 1904) are relived. It is observed annually on 16 June in Dublin and many cities around the world. Professor Heffernan will give an in-depth talk on Leopold Bloom, the hero of James Joyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebrated novel Ulysses, to commemorate Bloomsday in Santa Fe. James Heffernan, Professor Emeritus from Dartmouth College, has written extensively on James Joyce, particularly his Ulysses. For the Teaching Company he has taped 24 lectures on Ulysses and another 24 on great authors from Wordsworth to Camus. His addiction to political news periodically drives him to blog for The Huffington Post where he advocated Stephen Colbert for Pope in January and again in February 2013.
