Santa Fe artist Callahan O'Connor feels her life is finally under control. She's divorced her abusive husband, her adult son is confidently navigating his own career, a wise shaman guides her spiritual journey, and a faithful Great Dane provides protection and companionship. Her paintings are in demand around the country, although people would never imagine that she's creating her compositions from images that haunt her dreams. And then a mysterious, sexy, and much-younger man makes her question her own identity and the hidden meaning of her paintings. But he has a dangerous secret, and what she doesn't know could kill her‌ Deathmark sizzles with sexual tension, supernatural intrigue, and the glittering world of professional art. This new thriller takes the reader on a wild ride filled with deception, murder, jealousy, shamanism and fact-based Native American history from the time of the buffalo. I couldn't put it down! —Anne Hillerman, author of Spider Woman's Daughter

Opening in conjunction with Art Santa Fe, Lucent is an exhibition curated by photographer Nancy Sutor and artist Stephen Auger at Cloud 5 Project (in the former Cloud Cliff Bakery space). With a focus on presenting individual and collaborative works in the visual and performing arts, Cloud 5 Project, which launched last year, takes an interdisciplinary approach to creativity. Lucent includes pieces by artists working in a variety of media, with the one thing uniting them being the exploration of light-inspired and light-based art.

Lucent features psychedelic video art by German artist Ati Maier, an audio/visual piece by former Santa Fe resident Molly Bradbury, threedimensional art by Meow Wolf’s Caity Kennedy, images from photographer Jennifer Schlesinger Hanson’s Moon series, Sarah Spengler’s animated lenticular photographic series Eyelight, Romy Eijckmans’ twilight landscape photographs and photograms of fireflies, Sutors’ translucent images of low-tone shadows cast by an apple tree, and more.

Lucent opens with a reception on Friday, July 11, at 7 p.m. The exhibit is open limited hours Fridays through Sundays and by appointment through Aug. 10. Cloud 5 Project is located at 1805 Second St. Call 505-577-0360.

PASATIEMPO I July 11 - 17, 2014

STAR CODES Heather Roan Robbins Attitude, don’t leave home without it. This weekend begins

with a difficult full moon in Capricorn that can bring out the chips on our shoulders. But once we get this pugnaciousness out of our system and work through any existential crises it may stir, the rest of the week flows cleanly.

This tricky full moon can give us seriousness, competence, and durability, but it can increase any tendency to be controlling. Do not micromanage under stress. This moon also asks us to look at our aspirations and at the quality and quantity of our work and assess our progress. Capricorn’s gift is deeply honorable leadership; its shadow is either ruthlessness or depression if we feel we aren’t moving fast enough. We can use this moon well by celebrating past victories and invigorating our journey with fresh, clear goals.

Remember the symbol of Capricorn is a mer-goat, a creature that can dive to the bottom of the collective ocean to gather up a dream or vision and then walk it up the highest range. It just doesn’t do so well on flat terrain. Neither do we right now. But give us a mountain to climb and a team to climb with, and all unfolds with power.

At the same time, Venus in Gemini trines Mars in Libra, both sociable and outgoing air signs, and provides a much-needed social lubricant as they encourage us to connect and talk.

The moon enters more communal, collaborative Aquarius Saturday night just as thoughtful Mercury returns to introspective, defensive Cancer.

Midweek the moon enters Pisces and brings our most tender material forward. Our fire and feistiness return toward the end of the week as the moon enters abrupt, brave Aries.

Saturday, July 12: This morning’s full moon squares irritable Mars and brings decisions and denouements. Evening softens as a spark of humor returns and the moon enters friendlier Aquarius.

Sunday, July 13: As Venus trines Mars, let the heart open and engage collaborative action — feel a deepening connection to all sentient beings and maybe a few specific ones. This trine can provoke possessiveness and longing. A burst of activity midday can leave us tired or thoughtful tonight as the moon squares Saturn.

Monday, July 14: The answer is probably yes today as the moon, Venus, and Mars form a grand trine early on. Ask important questions. Meetings and teamwork flow more smoothly than usual though people can be passionately attached to their opinions and private about their own stories. We need time enough to come back to ourselves as the moon enters Pisces tonight.

Tuesday, July 15: We may be feeling delicate. Do not force people to get their defenses up as they come with fortifications. Give people room to wonder and wander as the Pisces moon conjuncts Neptune and trines Saturn. Forgive easy tears.

Wednesday, July 16: The mood is durable and resilient, though still a bit raw. Keep the schedule light and let intuition or inspiration set the pace and direction. The scope of plans change — start looking at horizons as Jupiter enters Leo. Be surprised by possibilities as the moon enters sparky Aries tonight.

Thursday, July 17: We can be just plain difficult — conflicting feelings and opinions can start the arguments within us and carry them outward.

Prioritize rather than waste time. Work with allies and set the agenda with kindness. ◀ www.roanrobbins.com

Friday, July 11: Feelings swirl and our control issues grumble as the Capricorn moon conjuncts Pluto and squares Uranus. Notice a chance to face limitations and choose when it’s wise to push through and when to change direction. Use the heart, not words, to communicate. Sometimes all we need is a hand to hold.

PASATIEMPO I July 11-17, 2014

udwig van Beethoven epitomized the creative artist who achieved immortality within a swirl of chaos. One does not need to look far among the annals of composers to uncover others who coped with disease, physical impairment, financial mismanagement, or underdeveloped social skills, but in Beethoven these things, and quite a few other manifestations of adversity, seem magnified into persistent pandemonium. Here is a man who was repeatedly disappointed in love, who tried to keep a suicidal nephew on track, who struggled with continual ill health, whose hearing began to erode when he was about 30 years old and eventually progressed to substantial deafness, who flew into rages of legendary turbulence, who moved so frequently that during his 35 years in Vienna he lived in some 60 apartments (counting summer homes), who became so absent-minded that he completely forgot he owned a horse someone had given him, and who grew so unkempt that at one point he was arrested for vagrancy.

By all rights, such disarray should have led to a functional standstill. In Beethoven’s case, it did not.

Somehow he kept disorder and impediment from overwhelming his creative vigor, and by the time immense crowds turned out for his funeral procession in 1827, he had produced a musical legacy that was already regarded as extraordinary. His mind worked in a way that enabled him to concentrate profoundly on his compositions. He was not beyond tossing off commercially viable pieces with fluency, but he lavished painstaking effort on works that mattered to him deeply, exertion that is minutely documented, from conception through final details, in his surviving sketchbooks and manuscripts.

Sometimes, his molding of a single composition extended over multiple years during which he might labor simultaneously on numerous pieces. This was the case with his opera Fidelio, which receives its first-ever production at Santa Fe Opera on Saturday, July 12. It was the only opera Beethoven managed

to see through to completion — and then another completion, and yet another after that. Writing an opera was not an easy process for the composer, who was almost perpetually on the lookout for an appropriate libretto but found only this one that could survive preliminary sketches. For several years he toyed with writing an opera based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, and for some three years in the 1820s he poked at a libretto poet Franz Grillparzer crafted for him on the medieval fairy tale of Melusine. Passing interest in operas involving the deceived knight Bradamante and the disillusioned scholar Faust yielded nothing. His first extended stab at an opera came in 1803: Vestas Feuer, a drama set in ancient Rome to a libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder (who had been Mozart’s librettist for Die Zauberflöte), a work that remains only as sketches for what might have been.

J

ust as his interest in Vestas Feuer waned into silence, at the end of 1803 and the beginning of 1804, Beethoven turned his attention to the work that would be produced in 1805 under the title Fidelio and then developed for nearly a decade into what was finally unveiled in 1814 in the form in which it is nearly always encountered today. At the outset, Beethoven preferred that it be called Leonore, after the heroic woman at its core. The show’s producers insisted otherwise, worried that potential audiences might confuse it with operas already in circulation by the composers Pierre Gaveaux (whose Léonore was introduced in 1798) and Ferdinando Paer (whose Leonora was premiered in 1804).

Beethoven did not get his way, but at least when he published the opera’s libretto, in 1806 at his own expense, he stubbornly affixed to it the title Leonore, which probably did invite confusion among operagoers. The division over the title ended up proving useful in the long run. Today, it is common to refer to the original 1805 version of the opera, as well as its somewhat revised form for a revival in 1806, as Leonore; the name Fidelio universally attaches to the

final, very substantial recasting of the piece for its reintroduction in 1814.

It was a timely opera. In the years immediately after the French Revolution, audiences in many European countries were avid for theatrical plots involving political oppression, daring rescues, and triumphant humanitarianism. (Government authorities were less enthusiastic, but there was no stopping the tide.) French author Jean-Nicolas Bouilly had written the libretto that served Gaveaux and Paer as well as composer Simon Mayr, who chose the libretto’s subtitle, L’amor coniugale, for his 1805 setting. In 1800, Bouilly had gained further acclaim as the librettist of another “rescue opera” of libertarian leanings, Les deux journées, with music by Luigi Cherubini, the composer Beethoven admired most highly among his contemporaries (himself excluded, he hastened to point out.) In 1803, composer Étienne-Nicolas Méhul let loose an opera (Hélène) with a Bouilly libretto that traced some of the same path that Fidelio would. These were all big names in the opera world just then.

Bouilly was, therefore, the sort of wordsmith who would appeal to Beethoven’s political sensibilities. He had Bouilly’s Léonore libretto adapted into German by Joseph von Sonnleithner, with later revisions coming from Stephan von Breuning and especially Georg Friedrich Treitschke. Although Beethoven derived much of his income from the purses of aristocrats, he was a partisan of noble humanitarian principles, and he joined those who applauded the democratic aspirations of the Jacobins of post-Revolutionary France. At the head of the

Jacobins was Napoleon Bonaparte, whom political idealists viewed as a beacon of hope for social enlightenment. Writing an opera like Fidelio in 1804-1805 was not entirely an exercise in idealism. It seemed as if political change really was imminent. In 18031804 Beethoven also busied himself with his Third Symphony, which was meant to honor Bonaparte.

Then in the spring of 1804, just as he completed his symphonic tribute, Napoleon crowned himself emperor. Incensed that the standard-bearer of republicanism had seized power as an absolutist dictator, Beethoven furiously scratched the name “Buonaparte” from the symphony’s title page and renamed it Sinfonia Eroica … per festeggiare il sovvenire di un grand Uomo (Heroic Symphony … to Celebrate the Memory of a Great Man).

N

apoleon loomed in the background throughout the years of Fidelio’s composition and revision.

His forces seized occupation of Vienna the very week of the work’s 1805 premiere — drastically unfortunate timing for the opening of an anti-authoritarian opera, doubly so since many of Vienna’s opera-goers were hightailing it out of town — and the 1814 version hit the stage only six weeks after he and his loyalists retreated to temporary exile on the island of Elba, the beginning of his end.

The plot of Fidelio — judiciously moved to 18thcentury Spain — centers on precisely the sort of political oppression that was part and parcel to the times. Florestan has been unjustly imprisoned by

Fidelio,

the governor Don Pizarro after disseminating unflattering information about him. Florestan’s devoted wife, Leonore, manages to get a job in the prison disguised as a boy, calling herself Fidelio. Don Pizarro has kept Florestan’s name off the official prison roster and has been slowly starving him to death in solitary confinement; but he decides to execute him to avoid complications in anticipation of the imminent arrival of the prime minister and a virtuous prison-inspection team. Fidelio (i.e., Leonora) sheds his/her disguise and holds Don Pizarro at bay until the good guys arrive — at which point she and Florestan are reunited in their marriage, and Don Pizarro’s goose is cooked. The work’s dramaturgy often comes across as odd. Partly it is a matter of mixed genres. Dark though the prison narrative is, it is entwined with a lighthearted comic triangle in which the prison assistant Jaquino wants to marry the jailer’s daughter Marzelline, who for her part has an obviously impossible crush on Fidelio — a secondary plot that largely evaporates at some point.

Then, too, the work is cast as a singspiel, a stage genre popular in late-18th-century German-speaking lands in which musical numbers come and go within a spoken play. The extensive spoken dialogue is almost always reduced to a nubbin in modern productions.

Perhaps that is just as well since its stagey style might seem ridiculous to modern ears; and yet, encountered as Beethoven envisioned it, the proportions are very different from what we are accustomed to and the work has an accordingly altered quality.

A number of Beethoven’s major compositions are traditionally discussed in terms of light triumphing over darkness. In the Fifth Symphony, high anxiety in C minor eventually wends through a mysterious bridge passage to burst forth to a brilliant C-major finale. The Ninth Symphony moves from questing, inchoate gestures in D minor to a blazing choral conclusion in D major. The Quartetto serioso, op. 95, maintains taut edginess until its final half minute, which shifts to sparkling vivacity. Similar movement toward the light lies at the heart of Fidelio. References to light and darkness continually surface. The jailer Rocco describes the subterranean cell in which Florestan is hidden: “No light save for a lamp.” In her stunning aria “Abscheulicher!” Leonore (as Fidelio) resolves to descend to the cell guided by a sort of heavenly light: “Come, Hope, let not your last star be exhausted; illuminate my path, distant though you be.”

In one of the opera’s most moving scenes, prisoners are briefly released from their cells to step outside; returning to confinement, one among them bids farewell to “the cheerful warm sunlight,” resigned that “night again sinks around us.” Florestan, languishing at death’s door in his dungeon, sings his heart-rending scene “God! How dark it is here!” and, hallucinating, imagines an angel who “illuminates my grave,” an

20

PASATIEMPO I July 11-17, 2014

angel who resembles his beloved Leonore. Even in its musical architecture, Beethoven stresses the division of dark from light. Music relating to Florestan and the prisoners tends toward the keys of F minor and A-flat major, keys abundant in flatted notes that were widely felt to convey dark or heavily shadowed implications. The music for Leonore and the forces of good fall far away on the chromatic map at E major, a key signature with four sharps, each representing a degree of brightness.

That this is an opera of enlightenment is perhaps not incidental to Beethoven’s desire that it be called Leonore rather than Fidelio. The name Fidelio is derived from the Latin fides, meaning faith or faithfulness; this disguised wife indeed embodies marital faithfulness to the extremes of bravery. In the name of Florestan we spy another Latin root, flos, meaning flower, which made its way into modern Romance languages as, for example, the Spanish flor. (A section of the spoken text that is almost always cut reveals, through a reference to “Leonore Florestan,” that Florestan is actually the prisoner’s surname; but apart from that, it serves essentially as the husband’s identity rather than the wife’s.) A flower cannot thrive without nourishment, of course, and one of the most touching scenes has Fidelio (“his” identity not yet revealed) slipping the nearly catatonic Florestan a sip of wine and a crust of bread. But flowers cannot live deprived of light, either. It would seem unlikely that Bouilly should have endowed the names of Fidelio and Florestan with deeply embedded meaning of that sort and not treated the name of Leonore with as much care. As it happens, he did. The name traces its lineage back through the medieval form of Eleanor to the ancient Greek name Helena (Eleni), which would be translated as bright one or light one. Surely this opera is about both faithfulness and enlightenment.

Beethoven could live with it being called Fidelio, making it an exaltation of faithfulness. But, if he had had his druthers, he would have preferred to call it Leonore — an opera about light. ◀

Fidelio opens at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, and continues at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 16, and 25, and at 8 p.m. on July 31 and Aug. 5, 12, and 21.

Soprano Alex Penda sings Leonore (aka Fidelio). Tenor Paul Groves is Florestan in his first appearance anywhere in the role. Soprano Devon Guthrie sings Marzelline. Tenor Joshua Dennis plays Jaquino. Bass Manfred Hemm sings Rocco. Bass-baritone Greer Grimsley is Don Pizarro, and bassbaritone Evan Hughes sings Don Fernando. The production is directed

by Stephen Wadsworth and is conducted by Harry Bicket.

album reviews

CHRISTIAN VUUST Urban Hymn (Aero Music) Reedman Christian Vuust, a native of Aarhus, Denmark, focuses on the tenor sax for this, his 15th album as leader or co-leader. During an extended 2013 visit to New York, he was “inspired by the city’s diverse and creative environment” and put a period on his American experience by hitting the studio with pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Ben Street, and drummer Jeff Ballard. The quartet dug into nine quietly colorful tunes written by Vuust. Up first is “Helgenæs,” named for a peninsula that the residents of Aarhus view across a bay.

The music, featuring rather rubato drums and lovely tenor sax and piano, is cool, easy, and vital, with epic overtones. “Lærke” (Danish for “lark,” and a common female name in the country) is another piece both relaxed but charged, Vuust playing rich-toned tenor in the lead but with dynamic accompaniment. For the title track, gentle, lovely piano, plodding bass, and shimmery brushed cymbals form the foundation for the leader’s poignant sax-song — but again, his collaborators are contributing more than mere rhythm the whole time. “Wedding Song” is a placid march, the loose drums yielding a forlorn, disconnected quality, although Vuust and Parks anchor the music with sober beauty. The more suspenseful “Biking the Big Apple,” with its impressions of rolling and pedaling, is a highlight. Mostly restrained and painted in twilight hues, Urban Hymn is always involving.— Paul Weideman GRÉTRY Guillaume Tell (Musique en Wallonie) Opera-goers who attend the opening of Beethoven’s Fidelio at Santa Fe Opera this week may be curious to hear how it compares to other politically loaded operas that enjoyed a vogue at the time. The short answer is that it is far better, but that doesn’t make contextualizing it less interesting. Musique en Wallonie, a label dedicated to unearthing historical repertoire from the French-speaking sector of Belgium, includes among its most recent offerings an operatic rarity: Guillaume Tell, a 1791 opera in three short acts by André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry, a leading musical Walloon of the French Revolutionary period. Suspected of earlier royalist leanings, Grétry found an antidote in the tale of William Tell, the Swiss patriot who stands up to a repressive tyrant who, in retaliation, orders him to shoot an apple perched on his son’s head, after which everyone commends sacrificing whatever is necessary in the cause of liberty. This is an opéra-comique, which means it includes extensive spoken dialogue. Grétry’s musical style is forthrightly populist and appealing in its charm.

Let us be clear: this recommendation extends to the piece’s historical interest and not to the quality of the live performance, although the focused soprano of Anne-Catherine Gillet is welcome as Mrs. Tell. The orchestra (under the baton of Claudio Scimone) is often rough and the vocal acting evokes a fifth-grade class play.

t

all’s fair when art’s in store

here was a time when Art Santa Fe brought its international stable of gallerists, artists, and dealers to town every other year. As the city became a hub for more and more yearly art fairs, Art Santa Fe founder and gallery owner Charlotte Jackson turned it into an annual event. Most of Santa Fe’s summer art fairs and markets are homegrown affairs and Art Santa Fe, now in its 14th season, is no different. Jackson is taking advantage of the city’s international reputation as a destination for art and culture and, as in past years, the roster of more than 30 galleries, museums, and solo artists includes some familiar faces as well as some new ones.

Returning this year are Gallery Edel from Osaka, Japan, local gallery Zane Bennett Contemporary Art, the New Mexico Museum of Art, and photographer Doris Hembrough, sculptor Martin Spei, and others.

But there’s a lot that’s new. For the first time, Santa Fe art collective Meow Wolf has an installation, and new galleries from Tokyo, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and other locales have booths. For a second year in a row, artists can represent themselves: Spei, for instance, exhibited last summer, when Jackson introduced a limited number of solo-artist booths to the fair as an alternative to showing works exclusively through established galleries. Other artists with solo booths this year include Gioconda Rojas from San José, Costa Rica, Los Angeles-based photographer Nancy Macko, and local artists John Vokoun and David Gordon. Though Art Santa Fe’s popular “How Things Are Made” series of art demonstrations is excluded this go-round, more solo-artist booths have been added.

“I’m bringing a brand-new piece, as well as three other ones that I’m revisiting with a different patina to try something new with them,” Spei told Pasatiempo, explaining that he sees his work as encompassing allegory and myth — a reflection of his interest in classic literature. “One of my pieces is called Nostromo, after Joseph Conrad’s novel. It’s all about this character who’s liked by both the rich and the poor. He’s incorruptible but, in the end, becomes corrupt anyway and kills himself over the guilt. I have a narrative and I’m telling a story. It’s not unusual

26

PASATIEMPO I July 11-17, 2014

for me to like great stories and mythology.” Spei’s sculptures often depict a character, a pudgy sort of everyman, caught in an existential cycle of absurdity.

“I see them as mankind. That’s the metaphor I’m hoping for. I think all artists have one idea, and a genius has two. I’m an artist. I’m not a genius. But there’s a lot of songs you can get out of one idea.

Some of them are series of works like songs on an album. You go on to the next album with whatever’s happening in your life. It still feeds into this one idea, this overall narrative I have. It’s always evolving.”

One thing visitors to the Santa Fe Convention Center may remember from years past are the largescale installations that greet them in the lobby.

This year, Croatian artist Ana Tzarev’s monumental fiberglass poppy sculpture Love is a featured piece, part of Tzarev’s ongoing worldwide “Love & Peace” campaign to foster these phenomena, along with understanding, through art. “I want these striking and vibrant sculptures to attract people and encourage them to tell their stories and share their experiences,” she writes on her website (www.lovepeaceflower.com). “My dream is for my flowers to

ART SANTA FE act as beacons and rallying points across the planet — bringing people together on a global scale.” To that end, Tzarev has exhibited her sculpture flowers at galleries, museums, and public spaces in such cities as Paris, Rome, Prague, New York, London, St. Petersburg, Venice, Hanoi, and Istanbul. Based in Istanbul, Merkur Gallery features an impressive array of artworks in a variety of mediums. Artists include Seckin Pirim, some of whose dazzling geometric designs are made using metallic car paint on bristol paper, and Halim al Karim, whose soft-focus works are hauntingly beautiful. Along with other artists, Gallery Edel in Osaka represents Yoshitomo Nara, a Japanese sculptor, painter, and illustrator known for his pop-culture-influenced images of wide-eyed children and dogs, and Manabu Takano, whose whimsical, figurative animal portraits are rendered through a combination of dot painting and gestural brushwork.

For the first time, Los Angelesbased Stephanie’s Art Gallery joins the fair, exhibiting paintings by little-known modernist artist Arthur Pinajian (1914-1999). The story goes that a stack of Pinajian’s artworks were found in the garage and attic of the Long Island cottage he shared with his sister. Pinajian left instructions for his collection to be discarded after his death, but it was saved by a relative moments before being hauled to the dump.

(1929-2012) examined the work, an array of impressive abstract landscapes and figurative paintings. Homer convinced his colleague Peter Hastings Falk to assemble a team to research Pinajian’s life and art. The result is Pinajian: Master of Abstraction Discovered, a 128-page monograph published in 2010 to accompany the artist’s exhibited works that offers essays by Homer and Falk, as well as by art historian Richard J. Boyle, art critic John Perreault, conservator Jonathan Sherman, author Lawrence E. Joseph (who owns the collection), and Peter Najarian (Pinajian’s cousin). In the wake of his rediscovery, Pinajian’s work has been featured on Good Morning America and 20/20.

Among the regional exhibitors, Taos’ Hulse/Warman Gallery offers a mix of paintings, sculptures, and new media that includes the holographic works of Santa Fe resident August Muth. His holograms are three-dimensional images made of light that change their color and appearance depending on the position of the viewer. “I take a piece of glass and coat it with a light-sensitive emulsion,” he told Pasatiempo during a studio visit. “It’s very similar to the first photographic emulsions from the 1830s. I lay the glass and emulsion right on top of the subject matter, then take a laser, training its beam up to a concave mirror, which illuminates the whole piece in light. Some of that light reflects off the subject matter and comes back up through the emulsion.

It’s the interference of those two plane waves that creates the hologram.

I’m working with single-frequency laser light. If anything moves more than a 10-billionth of an inch, you don’t get a hologram.” To prevent any movement that would have a negative impact on his images, Muth floats his worktables on inner tubes to isolate them from vibrations in the ground. Early in his career, he made sculpture, casting his pieces in bronze, and also had an interest in working with reflective metals and making opalescent jewelry. “When I was about 28, I saw a hologram and thought how much it was like opals. I started producing holograms at that point. Only a few people in the world use this emulsion because it’s very temperamental. There are about 130 variables — temperature, humidity, and many other things that affect it. It has a very short life span. To get the colors you want, you have to utilize it in a certain period of time after you coat it. If you do it too early, your holograms are cloudy; if you do it too late, they just disappear.” ◀

once more with feeling

past years Art Santa Fe has brought engaging, seminal figures into town as keynote speakers at the international art fair, including critic Barbara Rose, writer Lawrence Weschler, and even Robert King Wittman, former head of the FBI’s Art Crime Team. This year Art Santa Fe welcomes James Meyer, associate curator of modern art at the National Gallery of Art and professor of art history at Johns Hopkins University, to the New Mexico Museum of Art on Saturday, July 12.

Meyer, the author of Minimalism: Art and Polemics in the Sixties, a comprehensive survey of an art movement that began in the 1960s, returns to the era of Watergate, the Vietnam War, and counterculture movements in his forthcoming book, Return to the Sixties: On the Meaning of the Sixties in Art and Culture. “Children of the Sixties,” his keynote lecture, delves into the past from the standpoint of the present, discussing the legacy of an era that still captivates half a century later. Pasatiempo talked with Meyer about his lecture and new book.

Pasatiempo: Can you tell me what the book you’re working on encompasses?

James Meyer: It’s a book on contemporary art and writing, including fiction and memoir, that looks back to the ’60s and ’70s. It focuses on artists who I call ’60s children — people born anywhere between the mid-’50s and, say, the mid-’70s — who are looking back to the period before they were born or the time when they were children, their earliest memories, memories of their

PASATIEMPO I July 11-17, 2014

ART SANTA FE parents, and a period that was completely revolutionary in the West, in the United States, and people marked by that. You could say it’s post-boomer art and writing.

Pasa: Who are some of the artists you’ll be discussing in your lecture on Saturday?

Meyer: Felix Gmelin is one of them. He’s German and Swedish.

The work I’m going to talk about was in the Venice Biennale in 2002. His father was on the radical left in Germany in the late ’60s and taught some of the people who became terrorists in the Baader-Meinhof Group. Gmelin remade a film from the ’60s by a student of his father’s. In it they’re running with a red flag through the streets of Berlin. Gmelin remade it with his students from the Konstfack school in Stockholm. It’s in a different city, at a different time, and appearances are different, allowing us to compare these two films. One of the people in the first film was Holger Meins, of Baader-Meinhof, who died of a hunger strike after he was captured. Gmelin’s father killed himself. It’s a very fraught history about people who were romantic and believed they could change the world. And I might talk about Luke Fowler, who’s a Scottish artist. He’s very well-known in England. So it’s certainly not obvious people like Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst — you know, these kinds of market artists. What I tend to write about is more a conceptual practice.

Pasa: It seems that, just as we look back to that era now, the artists active then were looking back as well. That seems implicit even when artists of the ’60s were rejecting, rather than embracing, the modernism that came before.

Meyer: I talk about the ’60s as the memory of modernism. It’s the last time when the avant-garde of the early 20th century, along with modernism, felt kind of alive. That’s long gone for us. For us, the ’60s is our avant-garde. It stands as this last time of belief in avant-garde practice that art can be radical, that it can have political effect, that it can be outside of a purely financial structure. There’s always a risk that we look at that period with nostalgia. I’m against ’60s nostalgia. I’m for looking at it critically. It wasn’t a perfect time at all. Nevertheless, for art, there was the sense of real possibility, of changing everything. That kind of modernist aspiration was still going on then. It’s very powerful for us today. Art really meant something then. Now, art feels completely an instrument of the market.

Pasa: And the Minimalists in the ’60s were also responding to the Abstract The ’60s are over Expressionists. and looked down on Meyer: People like Donald Judd and and frowned on.

Dan Flavin really were very invested in Barnett Newman and Jackson Pollock.

But, then, 15 years It’s a radical change, but it’s also a kind later, everyone is of powerful reading of Newman and Pollock. They couldn’t make art like interested again. that anymore. They wanted to do something different. So they brought it into three dimensions. They got rid of the subject matter that people like Newman had, but they kept the scale, the color, and the boldness. I’m talking about Judd and Flavin. Ab Ex is very much part of that art, both as something to move beyond and something to extend.

Pasa: Who are some of the writers the book covers?

Meyer: One of the writers I discuss is Jennifer Egan and her novel Invisible Circus. It’s about the weight of the ’60s on the younger generation. She won a Pulitzer in 2011. I talk about Dave Eggers’ first book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I discuss a memoir by Ji-li Jiang called Red Scarf Girl, which is about what it was like to be in China under the Cultural Revolution and how traumatic it was to be a child in China in the late ’60s and ’70s. There’s somebody called Dana Spiotta, and she has a novel called Eat the Document,which is about Weather Underground-type characters in their 50s and 60s meeting a younger generation in Seattle in the ’90s.

Pasa: The scope of the new book is international, not just focused on the legacy of the ’60s and ’70s in the United States?

Meyer: The book goes to China. It goes to Germany. It goes to Uganda.

It’s about people who now are in the middle of life and looking back.

There’s a larger question here, and it involves people looking back in general to the time of childhood. The time that precedes your birth is going to affect you deeply, whoever you are. It’s very powerful for people in my generation, who grew up seeing the hippies and Watergate.

Suddenly it is the Reagan period, and everything just changed. The ’60s are over and looked down on and frowned on. But, then, 15 years later, everyone is interested again. I call this phenomenon “the ’60s return.” I really trace it to the ’90s. It’s been happening for about 15, 20 years.

Iris McLister I For The New Mexican

Certifiably organic

W

hen David Solomon moved out west nearly 20 years ago, he brought the colors and moods of his South Florida home with him. The selection of brilliantly abstracted, riotously strange new paintings in Patina Gallery’s exhibition Shape Shifter recalls the distinctive natural environments of both Florida and Santa Fe, where he’s lived for more than a dozen years. A veteran of the local art scene, Solomon has organized exhibitions, installed and curated shows, bought and sold art, and steadfastly maintained an active painting schedule.

Since 2009, Solomon has painted on aluminum panels, which afford him a totally flat, nonporous surface, a negation of what he calls the “visual content” of canvas and linen. For his current body of work, he focused on refining and retooling shapes and symbols he’s long been fascinated with, injecting them with the unexpected, sometimes freaky color pairings that might well be considered his calling card. In these paintings, amorphous blobs float contentedly across thickly textured, heavily brush-stroked backgrounds.

Recurring across many are shapes like elongated eyeballs or slender footballs — but, most of all, like seedpods.

In turns translucent and opaque, they’re spanned with lines that look like the veins in a leaf. “I’ve been thinking of this latest body of work as a type of ‘systematic abstraction,’ ” Solomon told Pasatiempo. “While the parts in previous paintings operated by themselves in an environment, it was more refined. I wanted more action happening in the picture. These newer pieces 32

PASATIEMPO I July 11-17, 2014

have multiple main characters that interact with each other.” Maybe this deliberate anthropomorphizing explains why walking up to a piece like the dynamic, wildly colored Body Bomb Redux feels like barging into a private conversation. Matte areas of color are interspersed with drippy trails of mauve and black.

The work’s central form looks like a sliced-open honeycomb, whose pale blue and navy interior cells seem tender and alive, with pulses that expand and contract before our eyes. They’re exposed, and so are we in viewing them.

Solomon has a conscientious reverence for the natural environments of his past. He described childhood visits to family in upstate New York by naming their climatic attributes: “packed-in, dense, and muggy.” His childhood was a difficult one, and he took refuge by learning to read at a very young age. “Books created a mind for me that was immediately out of the box. Reading made me observe systems and pay attention.”

Solomon’s fascination with organic schemes and outdoor environments is powerfully manifested in System II, which feels distinctly Floridian. The painting’s washy, pale green background and yellow undertones, taken together, suggest an almost-ripe lemon; its blackoutlined central object contains a color like bleached pavement. At first, the work’s rounded center lends it a malleable, mammalian softness, embellished as it is with three smaller, imperfectly rounded balls or nodes, the largest of which is pricked all over with red polka dots. Against its muted but glowing green background, the central orb looks especially clean and crisp, even self-conscious in its stay-in-the-lines deliberation.

Triangular strips of black and white gather together in a knife-sharp point that’s poised to puncture a lined seedpod at the top of the circle. Solomon likened this shape to a pyramid or a paved road, representative of a “path to knowledge, enlightenment, or power — but also transmitting something to the seed shape. We live in a multi-parallel universe with many versions of reality.” Solomon means for his work to have layers, and if your brain takes time to sort through them, your eyeballs will be doing happy backflips.

Imposingly large and fantastically — immodestly — pink, The Schmoopy Painting occupies a wall to the immediate left of the gallery’s entrance. It’s dominated by a group of shapes nestled into and around a softly rounded, pale pink object. Other forms hover just outside it protectively, as if orbiting their home planet. The lower portion of the panel contains oozy, many-layered drips of red, interrupted by a central chamber: it’s that pyramid or highway again, whose tip meets the mouth of the pink object via a tiny, clear seedpod. Solomon is particularly excited by visual exchanges that beg questions not easily answered. “What are these two outer shapes creating?” he asked of The Schmoopy Painting’s orbital forms. “Is this a transmission of energy, or a protective encasement?” Solomon’s earnest consideration of his paintings can’t help but encourage a similar curiosity in the viewer.

Despite exaggerated drips and smears of neon orange and crimson, Information II is overwhelmingly dark. Its center contains various shapes, arranged in a jumble of texture and form, like a still life on an alien planet.

Where some of the paintings have subtle transitions,

David Solomon: System II, 2014, oil on aluminum panel; left, The Schmoopy Painting, 2014, oil on aluminum panel; opposite page, Icon I, 2014, oil on aluminum panel

Icon I is composed exclusively in fits and starts. Its center object is a black-outlined, charcoal-colored shape the color of ash. It’s a heart — probably the most recognizable shape in the show — suspended before a blazing, tomato-red background that’s immediately surrounded by dozens of miniature yellow pinpricks and, farther out, by blue-rimmed black spots. All around the puffy, gray heart are black dashes — not embers, but daggers: the last dazzling flares of a spirit going out with a cacophony of shrieks and hisses.

Face Off With a Rose has Philip Guston-like blocks of smudgy pinks and reds, whose ragged interiors suggest something alarmingly intimate: blood, connective tissue, the wet insides of a body. It’s a weirdo world of embryonic, cosmic shapes — of all-seeing,

multi-irised eyeballs — a map without a key, a system that can’t be cataloged or quantified. We’re reminded of things we might not cognitively understand: quantum theory, voodoo, complex molecular structures. The background is gritty, even grungy, but the overlaying shapes contain uncannily precise angles and edges.

As smitten as he is with abstraction, even Solomon’s messiest and most unfettered paintings contain areas of eye-bending precision.

Solomon has shown at major Santa Fe galleries, but his last solo exhibit was in late 2011. The interim period has given him time to focus on exactly how and what he’s creating, evidenced brilliantly in the quirky, powerful jewels of paintings on display at Patina Gallery. This downtown shop, known for high-craft

furnishings and edgy, gorgeous jewelry, has never had an exhibition of paintings, making it a somewhat surprising venue for Solomon — something that’s not lost on him. “How brave and cool is it that a gallery that specializes in fine jewelry chooses some weird and wild local contemporary painting to celebrate? What a blast!” ◀

T i o R i F p B S R E h t e T o n n I ARTIST DANA NEWMANN

A

rtist Dana Newmann moved to New Mexico in 1972, after living in California during the 1960s where she attended the California College of Arts and Crafts, now the California College of the Arts. She and her husband, painter Eugene Newmann, spent a brief time in California housesitting for friends in a coastal home built over the water. The floors were fashioned from glass cubes, allowing you to see the water beneath, pounding the shore. Part of their housesitting duties involved caring for the owner’s many orchids. For Dana Newmann, those orchids merged with an interest in Surrealism to become one of the subjects of an early work in collage. In the decades since, she has made numerous collages as well as assemblages, works in glass and bronze, book art, and cabinets of curiosity. A 45-year retrospective of her work opens on Friday, July 11, at Phil Space. Dana Newmann: In the Realm of Surrealism contains 30 framed pieces, three cabinets of curiosity, and bronzes cast at the Shidoni Foundry in Tesuque.

Newmann’s works incorporate distressed papers, vernacular photography, thorns, puzzle boxes, text and illustrations culled from books, and numerous objects gathered on her travels to Mexico, Uzbekistan, North Africa, Japan, and France, among other places. She is the author New Mexico Artists at Work, a collaboration with photographer Jack Parsons, which gives a glimpse inside the studios of more than 50 working New 34

Michael Abatemarco I The New Mexican Mexico artists. Her own is modest in size, perfectly suited to the intricate, often small-scale pieces she makes. “Botanical Study was my first surreal image,” Newmann told Pasatiempo, referencing the orchidinspired collage from 1969. “The Surrealists thought that their art would be based on the subconscious, and that’s what we’re going on when we’re dreaming.”

Newmann’s own art, in some cases, stand as homages to the Dada and Surrealist movements. Her 2008 piece The Surrealist’s Cabinet of Wonders, one of the three cabinets on display, nods to Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and others. On one shelf of the small, wooden cabinet is a replica in miniature of Meret Oppenheim’s Object from 1936, a fur-covered cup, spoon, and saucer set. In one nook of Newmann’s cabinet is a small Hopi kachina. “The kachina was very important to André Breton and quite a few of the Surrealists,” she said.

“They thought it epitomized the surreal attitude toward spirit. Some of the other objects I made up. I went to Japan a few years ago, and from a flea market I got a lot of wonderful stuff.” Among the items she incorporated into her work from the trip is a peach-shaped netsuke, a small carving traditionally worn by Japanese men to secure their sashes. It rests daintily on an elegant glass sculpture in the shape of a hand. The Surrealist’s Cabinet of Wonders also contains a smaller replica of a cabinet of curiosity. It is essentially a cabinet within a cabinet.

There is also a collection of suicide notes, both poignant and grim. “The notes are historic and personal. One is from a dear friend who had lost his sight and decided to go to Mexico and make his exit there.” The suicide notes add a somber touch to the work. “I think verging on the macabre is also an aspect of Surrealism — something slightly eerie, something slightly threatening. So that was what I decided to do, too.”

Her most recent cabinet, The Cabinet of Dangerous Possibilities, is a quirky collection of items that imply, directly and indirectly, a threat of some kind. “The last two elements I put in were mercury — I had to get old thermometers and break them in a plastic bag and collect all the mercury — and smoke. You hold the bottle upside down, you light the incense, and the smoke goes in the bottle. You immediately cap it and put sealing wax around it to hold the smoke particles in there. I learned how to do it from a teenager.” The piece contains an anonymous portrait from the 18th century that isn’t particularly treacherous on first consideration, but Newmann has her reasons for including it. “The portrait refers to history, and history can be dangerous. If we don’t learn from it, we repeat it.”

Also in the retrospective is a collection of reworked Victorian cabinet cards — thin photographs mounted on cards — that were popular in the late 19th century.

“In the parlors they would have a cabinet and put in it images of their families. Mine are a surreal take on that.”

Framed collage works include her Portrait of Vincent van Gogh, a piece from 1973, and a recent work, James Joyce Contemplating the Natural World. “Of course, Joyce was seldom involved with the natural world,” she said. “His world was cerebral and verbal.”

Newmann’s series Dialogues, a selection of which is in the show, deals with intimate moments from the lives of others, culled from found diaries, one dating back to the 1920s. “When I was in Massachusetts I came upon this little diary, hand written in pencil.

Reading it, I could not tell if the writer was a man or a woman because the writer had Valentine’s Day parties, made aprons, cakes, and cookies, loved flowers, and waited for the flowers to come each spring — but also set animal traps, skinned squirrels, and repaired

the Ford truck when it broke.” Dialogues reflects her ongoing interest in using text in her art. Several framed works on paper contain textual elements gleaned from books, articles, letters, and other sources. One such piece, Fire, from 1982, a collage of singed dictionary pages, exists only by mischance. “I was cutting up dictionary illustrations to use for something and tossing the rest of the papers into a fireplace that I didn’t realize was still smoldering. When I saw what the embers had done I took the pages out and, luckily, I happened to pick out a page about fire and fire-branding. Talk about serendipity.”

Newmann extends her collage-making to books as well as two-dimensional works on paper. Her

simultaneous homage and critique of Max Ernst’s graphic novel, Une Semaine de Bonté (A Week of Kindness) is a complete, page-by-page, overlay of her copy of the book. “Using papers from the end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century, I collaged every page, making it have new meanings.

There was a lot of physical mistreatment of women depicted in it, which for him was tongue-in-cheek, but I had fun taking those things and changing them in a respectful way. I was careful only to use papers he might have used.”

Newmann integrates dark and light tones in her art.

She has been consistent in her practice of using found objects, branching out from collage to related medi-

ums such as her assemblage pieces, which, like her cabinets of wonder, are three-dimensional. Her newer works follow from her lifelong interest in Surrealist art.

“The pieces I’ve done in 2014 are distortions of reality, so that you can see the real but it’s askew. It makes you, I hope, look at things a little differently.” ◀

is an often-repeated, probably apocryphal assertion that Santa Fe, with more than 200 GALLERIES, is the third largest art market in the nation, falling behind NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES. Presumably, that position on the list is based on sales of artworks but, as even CASUAL GALLERY VISITORS can attest, there are galleries that sell art, and then there are galleries that mix it up with a little ART, some FASHION, some FURNITURE, and even HOUSEWARES. With more dealers and collectors poised to gather what they may as the season’s numerous art fairs get under way, and as Art Santa Fe celebrates its 14th year, Pasatiempo approached a random sampling of galleries in town to ask,

“WHAT EXACTLY ARE PEOPLE BUYING?” If you’ve

ever wondered what keeps some of Santa Fe’s long-running galleries afloat in a tough art market, the following should give you some idea.

“Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner were inspired by New Mexico. So is Marvin the Martian, which was inspired by Roswell.”

Charles Azbell: Your Imagination

Chuck Jones Gallery

135 W. Palace Ave., 505-983-5999 Marie Ciattini, art consultant at Chuck Jones Gallery, said that people “really love the Chuck Jones cels because of the rarity and the art of it, since nowadays everything in animation is computerized. These are all hand painted. It’s a part of history.” Her choice — because Pasatiempo was asking for each gallery’s most popular or best-selling artist or artwork — was Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. “It was inspired by New Mexico, so it kind of makes sense. But so is Marvin the Martian, which was inspired by Roswell.” Jones (1912-2002) was the creator and director of cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, Pepé Le Pew, and other characters that were shown in the Warner Bros. series Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. The director of Chuck Jones Gallery in Santa Fe (there are similar locations in Costa Mesa and San Diego, California) is Toshi Sanchez. His selection for most-popular item in the store was one of the famous bunny’s scenes. “I would say that on a consistent basis it’s the cel ‘I Knew I Should’ve Taken That Left Turn at Albuquerque.’” He said about 60 percent of his customers are walk-ins and the remainder are repeat buyers. Animation cels by the gallery’s namesake are its bestsellers, but close behind are cels

by Dr. Seuss and Fabio Napoleoni. The highest-priced items include rarities from the “minority characters” of cartoon land. A good example is Gossamer, a hairy orange monster wearing tennis shoes, from Chuck Jones’ pen. — Paul Weideman

Ventana Fine Art

400 Canyon Road, 505-983-8815 “We are all about color,” said Connie Axton, owner of Ventana Fine Art. The 30-year-old gallery’s three top-selling artists, while distinct in style, all work in vivid hues: painter Jennifer Davenport creates abstract mixed-media and acrylic works focused on texture and contrast; John Nieto paints portraits of people and animals in saturated, primary colors; and sculptor Rebecca Tobey makes animal totems, from the tiny table-top variety to life-size. Nieto is the gallery’s top-selling artist this year. “Our clients like

that we offer both contemporary and traditional work,” Axton said. Nieto’s subject matter is familiar (a portrait of Crazy Horse; wildlife, including wolves, buffalo, and stags; nudes in the style of Matisse), but his execution, two-dimensional and centered on color, is nontraditional. Ventana represents 18 painters and 11 sculptors. Axton said that bronze and acrylic works are bestsellers. The gallery sells mainly to collectors, and Axton said they’re split evenly between repeat customers and new buyers. — Adele Oliveira

Santa Fe Art Collector

217 Galisteo St., 505-988-5545 The Santa Fe Art Collector was originally situated on San Francisco Street, but according to gallery co-owner Phyllis Hilley, “our current location on Galisteo is far superior. We have enjoyed better sales and the street has come to life with new storefronts and a focus on quality art and furniture.” Positioned just off the Plaza, Hilley counts clothing stores, restaurants, and bars as neighbors. It’s an area not especially known for its density of galleries, which makes it stand out.

The Santa Fe Art Collector is an ambitious name for a gallery, but it’s an accurate moniker for one that deals in dozens of artists from around the world, a selection that, Hilley hopes, offers something for everyone. Topseller Mikki Senkarik paints cheery, color-saturated vignettes of Southwestern homes and gardens, com-

plete with plump chile ristras and rustic turquoise doors. Isabelle Dupuy, another popular gallery artist, paints impastoed oils of flowers and trees. On the other end of the spectrum are Doug collector favorites like former Adams: Trade steel-mill worker Doug Adams, Currents whose multimedia sculptures incorporate remixed materials like horse harnesses and old bells — fun counterparts to the space’s more classical offerings. For Hilley, this mix is crucial to the success of her gallery: “We are eclectic and have many genres,” she said, but acknowledged that “oil is usually the best seller.” Though Santa Fe Art Collector’s primary sales come from collectors, Hilley’s busy location explains her assertion that she does well with walk-in clients. — Iris McLister

Charles Azbell Gallery

203-A Canyon Road, 505-988-1875 The paintings at Charles Azbell Gallery encompass distinct styles: abstract panels of color, vistas and sunsets, depictions of Native Americans, and Pueblostyle pottery, but most of it is the work of one artist — Charles Azbell. “It’s like he’s five different artists,” said Vivian Love, Azbell’s wife and director of the gallery.

In addition to Azbell, the gallery represents sculptors Daniel Oropeza, Doug Bieniek, and Ryan Benally.

Oropeza sculpts elaborate, large-scale depictions of mythical creatures like dragons and phoenixes (in addition to worldly beasts, such as horses), some of which are displayed outdoors and very visibly at the gallery’s location on the corner of Canyon Road and Paseo de Peralta. Twenty-four years old, the gallery sells mostly to established clients, including private collectors, corporations, and museums. “We get a lot of repeat business,” Love said. “There are people who come and see me every year.” She noted that while walk-in sales have decreased somewhat in recent years, she “did just sell a sky painting to a young couple here on their honeymoon.” — Adele Oliveira

William Siegal started out as a private dealer, and then briefly opened a place in Shiprock, where he sold antiquities — primarily textiles. “After all those years working as a private dealer, I decided I like retail.”

up a sizable portion of LewAllen’s roster. The gallery’s three top-selling artists are from New Mexico: Forrest Moses, Woody Gwyn, and John Fincher.

“Moses is a well-known abstract landscape painter, and Gwyn is an amazing painter of vivid realism in landscape, but always from a different point of view,” Marvel said. “Fincher paints interesting intensive details of the Southwestern landscape. He’ll pick out the spines of a cactus and make that very detailed moment almost heroic.” Emily Mason, another wellselling artist, lives primarily in New York and “is one of the most important post-World War II lyrical abstractionists — or, more properly, lyrical expressionists, so it has more of a gentle elegance to it, a real intense kinetic expression.” The majority of the gallery’s business is by appointment, from repeat or referred customers. There are private viewing areas in the basement, a space that holds an extensive collection of modern and contemporary art. “Primarily in the last few years, the most affluent sector of buyers has been the fastest-growing, though in 2014, we have happily begun to see the return of what I would call the merely wealthy, instead of the truly wealthy.”

Judy Tuwaletstiwa: ruah.not

William Siegal Gallery

540 S. Guadalupe St., 505-820-3300 Ask Eric Garduno, director of the William Siegal Gallery, who is selling best and he’ll tell you that it’s whoever happens to be showing. Currently that means mixed-media works by Judy Tuwaletstiwa, whose show opened on June 27 and runs through July 22. Gallery owner William Siegal confirmed that: “Judy’s is the most successful opening we’ve ever had.” The gallery is a surprisingly complementary collection of ancient and contemporary art. You can be studying one of Tuwaletstiwa’s layered matrixes one moment and then be drawn to the craft and symmetry of pre-Columbian weavings from Peru the next. Siegal started out as a private dealer, and then briefly opened a place in Shiprock, where he sold antiquities — primarily textiles. “After all those years working as a private dealer, I decided I like retail.”

He moved to Canyon Road in 1966 and added contemporary works to his display. He was downtown at the corner of Palace and Grant avenues until 2008, when he moved to his current location in the Railyard, a bright space that’s especially friendly to the contemporary painting on display. But antiquities remain a large part of his business. “We’re a destination in the world of textile collectors. Our sales of textiles are always strong, as are sales of Columbian objects. But really, our sales are all across the board, contemporary and ancient.” Siegal said he has sold textiles to all the major museums in the world, but added that the majority of his sales, whether for contemporary or ancient items, are to individuals.

The combination of art from disparate periods has worked well. “A good percentage of our buyers who buy contemporary pieces will then buy antiquities, or antiquities buyers will purchase a contemporary piece. We see this all the time.” — Bill Kohlhaase

123 W. Palace Ave., 505-986-0440 and 225 Canyon Road, 505-986-9833 Manitou Gallery on Palace Avenue is stuffed with contemporary Southwestern painting, sculpture, and jewelry. The other location, on Canyon Road, also focuses on Western regionalism, but with more sculpture in the mix, including a popular outdoor sculpture garden out back. There’s another location in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Frank Rose, the gallery’s marketing manager, names Kim Douglas Wiggins, a painter from outside Roswell, and sculptor Jim Eppler among their top-selling artists. Wiggins paints vibrant landscapes that, Rose said, buyers respond to because of the artist’s unique perspective.

“All of the things he paints are in motion. There’s an internal sense of motion in a live landscape, and he gets that onto the canvas.” Eppler is known for his lifelike raven sculptures. “People want to bring that realistic nature into — or outside of — their homes.” Ravens, so prevalent in Santa Fe, are closely

Other top-selling artists are B.C. Nowlin, who paints Indians on horseback; Ethelinda, whose paintings depict horses and other animals or aspects of nature; and Jerry Jordan, a painter of Pueblo life and everyday Southwestern scenes. Manitou’s customers are evenly split between established buyers and walk-in traffic. Though Manitou was established 12 years ago, many of the gallery’s artists and collectors have been associated with the Palace Avenue location for almost 20 years, since the building housed Contemporary Southwest Galleries. — Jennifer Levin PASATIEMPOMAGAZINE.COM

Martha Rea Baker: Marking History I

Karan Ruhlen Gallery

225 Canyon Road, 505-820-0807 Since the founding of her gallery 20 years ago, Karan Ruhlen said the most significant shift in its style has been a gravitation toward abstract modern work. Many of the gallery’s four sculptors and 12 painters live in New Mexico, including this year’s bestselling painter, Martha Rea Baker, who moved to Santa Fe in 2006. Baker works in acrylic and wax, creating different textures and patinas on the canvas by layering each material. “Baker’s work, though very abstract, has to do with the mesas and canyons of New Mexico,” Ruhlen said. “She’s one of our top sellers for probably 15 years now; her paintings say ‘landscape,’ but it’s a transition between traditional work and something more modern. Collectors feel safe in the midway. Whether more traditional or abstract, I think our collector still looks at the beauty in a piece. The edgy New York buyer is not necessarily the one who comes to New Mexico.” For the most part, the gallery sells to an established client base. In addition to private collectors, it sells work to designers, corporations, hotels, and medical facilities. “We don’t like to talk about the economic downturn or the fact that tourism has been down for the past five or six years, but it has,” Ruhlen said.

“It’s just starting to come back again, and the price point has come back too — work over the $10,000 mark.” She noted that the largest collector-client base of the past 10 years has consisted of visitors from Texas, California, and Oklahoma. To a lesser degree, the gallery sells work to tourists from the East Coast and the Midwest. — Adele Oliveira

A new article in “Western Art Collector” has Blue Rain Gallery’s Jackie Autry saying that Tammy Garcia is the equivalent of Howard Terpning in her genre.

Blue Rain Gallery

130 Lincoln Ave., 505-954-9902 The three top sellers at Blue Rain Gallery are contemporary Native American artists Tammy Garcia (Santa Clara Pueblo), Preston Singletary (Tlingit), and Tony Abeyta (Navajo). “We’ve been with each of these artists for over 20 years,” said owner Leroy Garcia. “They’ve all been very innovative forces in their respective careers, and they’ve each become multimillion-dollar-a-year artists.” Pressed to name the gallery’s top performer, he said Garcia’s deeply incised pottery “is by far the most collectible art we sell.” Right behind those three stars, and “ready to explode,” are artists Jim Vogel, Erin Currier, Rimi Yang, and Roseta Santiago, the gallery owner said. Blue Rain sells to collectors and institutions across the United States, and, in Garcia’s case, the venue has sent works to Sweden and Germany. Most of the collectors have visited the showroom, but the gallery also has enjoyed exposure from doing shows in Chicago, New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. Asked about their best-selling genre, Leroy Garcia said it’s split among glass, bronze, and paintings. “Tammy does glass and bronze, but her strength is still in the clay. A new article in Western Art Collector has Jackie Autry saying that Tammy Garcia is the equivalent of Howard Terpning in her genre. Her pots, which sell in the six digits, are sold out; it’s almost by commission only at this point.” — Paul Weideman

1601 Paseo de Peralta, 505 984-1387 When Eight Modern, originally located on Delgado Street, merged with the Railyard’s Tai Gallery earlier this year to become Tai Modern, it brought along its stable of contemporary artists. Fay Ku’s figurative works on paper and Jason Salavon’s pop-culture appropriations, reconfigured into abstractions by use of computer software, found themselves alongside painstakingly crafted works in bamboo. “This location is new to both of us,” said associate director Jaquelin Loyd. “There’s a different viewer for the galleries in the Railyard. They’re more drawn to modern and contemporary. Then there are people who really want more traditional.” Tai Modern offers a little of both. “We don’t have a huge database of artists, but Tai Gallery had created a wonderful market for the bamboo. We’ve also done well with Jason Salavon’s work. He has a big international following. What works for us is to show artists who are established nationally and internationally. Having shows is really important.” Gallery director Margo Thoma agreed.

Exhibitions often result in sales. “If you’re having a show with an artist that year, that makes a difference.

Some artists only sell during shows. I think some level of familiarity helps.” The new location near Charlotte Jackson Fine Art and David Richard Gallery should bring increased foot traffic to the gallery. “It will be interesting to see how the location affects the people we get coming in. On Delgado Street, our walk-ins didn’t generate many sales,” Thoma said. “We sell the bamboo very consistently,” Loyd added. “It’s an art form where fewer and fewer young artists can really hang in there with what it takes to learn the craft. It’s hard for them to make a living until they become very good at what they’re doing. So the work is expensive.”

Hunter Kirkland Contemporary

Gib Singleton: Noah

200 Canyon Road, 505-984-2111 Hunter Kirkland Contemporary, which has been in Santa Fe for 13 years, represents 10 established, living artists, including Rick Stevens and Peter Burega, both Santa Fe painters and both among the top three best-selling artists in the gallery. (The other is Ted Gall, a sculptor from California.) The work of the painters is abstract and nonobjective, often featuring vivid colors with an edge of the sublime. Sculpture at Hunter Kirkland has a more surrealistic bent.

Galerie Züger

120 W. San Francisco St. 505-984-5099 The display windows on either side of the entrance to Galerie Züger hold a cross-cultural mélange of figures that seem to look out at those who stroll by on West San Francisco Street: Woodrow Nash’s ceramic statuary inspired by 15th-century West African work; Chan Lui-Miao’s exacting leather sculptures; and the abstract, acrylic and mixed-media pieces of Father Bill Moore. “If we don’t have a really interesting window, with all the galleries on San Francisco Street, people wouldn’t remember us,” said Larry Ross, director of sales. Inside, the place is populated with the late Gib Singleton’s tall, thin bronze figures that carry a sort of labored stateliness. John Goekler, the gallery’s business manager and director of the associated Gib Singleton Museum of Fine Art, where the sculptor’s privately held works are on display, said that Singleton is far and away the gallery’s best seller.”

And that’s only accelerated with Gib’s death a few months back.” Singleton is known for working in both Western and spiritual genres. “The interesting thing about Gib is that he doesn’t have a specific kind of collector,” Goekler said. “He’s the first artist I know to have collectors of his secular work buy his spiritual stuff and his spiritual collectors buying his Western and mythological work.” Most of Züger’s buyers are individual collectors, Goekler said.

“Many of our customers buy for their homes or businesses. We also work with law offices, banks, and a lot of energy companies. Energy companies are one of the few places where individuality, entrepreneurship, and people willing to take risks — the kinds of things that Gib represents — are still admired.”

He’s very well-known in this area. He had this van Gogh-esque, impressionistic style and is recognizable for his broad brushstrokes

and vivid palette.” The gallery has a retrospective planned in October for Daughters, who died in 2013.

“He’s doing well at the gallery — and has always.”

Other Meyer Gallery artists who paint the Southwest landscape, such as Ken Daggett and William Hook, also sell. But in the area of sculpture, Dave McGary tops the list. “He’s known as a leader in American contemporary realist bronzes,” West said. Meyer does well with its different genres. Large-scale works in bronze tend to be purchased more by institutions such as libraries and children’s hospitals, and landscapes and figurative paintings are mainly purchased by private collectors. “Daniel Gerhartz is a great figurative painter, heavily influenced by John Singer Sargent,” West said. The gallery also represents Milt Kobayashi, whose work recalls that of the French Impressionists and also 16th- and 17th-century Japaneseukiyo-ewoodblockprints.Kobayashi’s works — women and men observed in domestic scenes and public spaces such as restaurants and cafés — are candid and intimate, as though the artist is a fly on the wall watching people’s actions. “I think he does well because it’s not portraiture,” West said.

“It’s not somebody staring at you. I find that sometimes people are uncomfortable with somebody they don’t know staring at them. With Milt, you’re almost a voyeur looking into their lives, wondering what’s going on in their conversations.” The gallery has one-person shows planned for McGary, Gerhartz, Kobayashi, and Hook during the summer.

221 Canyon Road, 505-955-0550 Though many of Adobe Gallery’s neighbors display brightly colored kinetic sculptures and abstract paintings, owner Alexander Anthony has never focused on the sale of contemporary art. “We do not represent living artists,” Anthony said. “Our specialties are New Mexico Pueblo potters of the 19th and 20th centuries — for us, the best medium for sales.” Southwestern artists Maria Martinez, Margaret Tafoya, and Lucy Lewis are top sellers — all heavy-hitting Native American potters. Occasionally Anthony sells work by renowned contemporary potter Russell Sanchez, but he’s quick to point out that he doesn’t represent him. The gallery also carries paintings by students who attended the Santa Fe Indian School in the early-to-mid-1900s. When asked how he feels about Canyon Road, Anthony was positive about its breadth of art and historic draw, but said he wished there were public restrooms and more trash cans available for the street’s many visitors.

236 Delgado St., 505-992-0400 The focus of Barbara Meikle’s artist-run gallery is primarily her own work. She offers a selection of works by other artists on consignment, but her best-selling pieces are by her hand. Meikle paints vibrant, expressionistic imagery of landscapes and wildlife, including horses, donkeys, and birds. The rich palette she employs in her paintings is part of an aesthetic also apparent in the works of her gallery artists. “I have two other painters and three sculptors. My work is so strong colorwise that when I had contrasting painters whose work was softer or more subtle, they just got lost in here. It was better to go strong.” Meikle donates a portion of her sales to animal-rescue organizations,

including Española’s Wildlife Center, which brought a selection of raptors to the gallery in April for Meikle to paint. “People got to meet a bald eagle named Max. It inspires my art and also gives me great happiness to help support these entities.” Meikle has no problems selling her work and made a sale by phone while Pasatiempo was visiting the gallery. “Whenever I sell a painting, I call my mother, and she always wants to know, Was it a landscape? Was it a donkey? Was it a horse? I also sell a lot of bison paintings and longhorn paintings. The birds have done well, and so have the landscapes. I just don’t advertise them so much because there are so many landscape painters, and I kind of want to be known for something different.” Meikle often brings donkeys to the gallery to paint them, raising funds for organizations such

People can make donations or buy a painting or a print. Donkeys are different from horses. They’re working animals around the world. They’re stoic. They put up with a lot. There’s something really special about them, and they’re very intelligent.” Meikle is in a fortunate position. While galleries in Santa Fe are closing right and left or moving to new locations, she has found a niche market for her work. “When things started to slow down in 2009, I put all my money into advertising. I doubled down on the marketing. Because I’m an artistowned gallery, I have a little more money to work with because I’m not paying half of it to somebody else.”

PASATIEMPO I July 11-17, 2014

1995 Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei made waves in the art world with Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, a photographic triptych that documents Ai allowing a historic ceramic urn to smash on the floor. The work raised questions about redefining history and culture in contemporary China, and could be seen as an indictment of China itself in the aftermath of Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and ’70s. Mao’s plan was to make China the industrialized state it is today. It is as if Ai was saying that China sacrificed its own historic past to achieve that goal. Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn was not the only time Ai has destroyed Chinese relics to make a point. In his 2009 project Dust to Dust he took pieces from his 2005 porcelain series, The Wave, ground them into dust, and stored them in glass jars.

On June 28 an artistic partnership between Navajo artist Bert Benally and Ai resulted in the newest TIME (Temporary Installations Made for the Environment) project, Pull of the Moon, a biennial exhibition co-organized

by New Mexico Arts and the Navajo Nation Museum. Consisting of sideby-side sand paintings unfolding on private land in a remote part of Coyote Canyon in the Navajo Nation, it is no longer extant. It was a one-day installation originally intended to take place during a full moon. “We moved it forward three weeks, Benally told Pasatiempo. “By that time, the whole concept changed. The title of my sand painting became Shí kéyah, which in Navajo means ‘my country,’ or ‘my land,’ but can also mean ‘my people.’ ” Ai’s Project for TIME at Coyote Canyon, his sand painting that uses groundup porcelain pottery created for some of his earlier works, was incorporated into the installation. But the whole thing almost didn’t happen.

“Originally we were going to work on one project together, but the distance was too big of an obstacle to overcome,” Benally said. “It’s a borderline two-man show, a collaboration with two different themes but similar pieces. We weren’t in direct contact with Ai himself. We were in contact with his studio assistants.” After trying unsuccessfully to reach an agreement through email, Benally took the initiative to go to China and seek him out. “He was really busy. I couldn’t get him until the last day. I decided to go to his studio and see what was up. I met with him. I guess there was a breakdown in communication because he wasn’t really sure what was going on. Once he found out I was Navajo, he made some time for me, and we talked. He assured me he would make this happen.” After Benally’s trip, Navajo Nation Museum director Manuelito Wheeler made one of his own to firm up details and get the project under way. “By that time, we had less than two months to do this. The added problem of not being able to see him — the government is really watching him — made it difficult to get messages through. I think they might even have been intercepting his assistants’ emails, because we wouldn’t hear from him for a while.”

Benally’s concept was based on the four directions and the idea of keeping harmony with the earth. Ai responded with a concept for a sandpainting design, made with the crushed pottery, in the form of interlocking bicycles. “He explained that the bicycles represented industry and how China today is like a machine, but it’s a machine run by people.” Benally responded to Ai’s idea by referencing Navajo industry in the forms of continued on Page 52

Pull of the Moon, continued from Page 50 weaving, silversmithing, and pottery making. Inspired by the broken-pottery works of the Chinese artist, Benally built a large pot with a corn sculpture inside, and then set it on fire. The area around the pot was divided into quadrants that were sectioned off from each other with colored PVC pipe that was cut lengthwise and filled with water. The quadrants represent the four directions, with the pot in the center. As it burned, the large pot disintegrated, revealing the sculpture inside. “The corn sculpture that remains after the pot has burned down and crumbled away symbolizes the Navajo both culturally and spiritually,” Benally wrote in a statement about the work. “The colored lines made from PVC pipe filled with water represent rainbows. They are painted red and blue. For Navajos rainbows represent protection and also beauty.”

There were other elements in Benally’s part of the installation. “I made a sand painting with fire. I soaked rope in kerosene and did some images in sand. We lit it up so people could see the images in lines made of fire.” Each of Shí kéyah’s quadrants had a design based on different aspects of Navajo industry. The eastern quadrant had a rug design based on the eye-dazzler weavings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The south quadrant had bear and mountain images derived from stories told to Benally by local residents regarding the origins of their clan, the Tsinajinnie. The western quadrant had a rug design based on the blankets of a Navajo chief. The northern quadrant’s design was also informed by origin stories of the Tsinajinnie Clan. Four circles on the outer perimeter of the installation had patterns derived from silversmithing stamp designs.

On Wednesday, July 16, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts screens Bert & Weiwei: TIME 2014, a documentary film by Daniel Hyde and Blackhorse Lowe. This is part of a series of public events at the museum that are centered around the TIME project. In addition to the screening, an interactive 3-D digital land- and soundscape produced by xRez Studio that captures the June 28 installation event at Coyote Canyon is on display at MoCNA and can be experienced in a new, 50-foot-wide dome structure there during the reception on July 16. After that the dome travels to Museum Hill on Friday, July 18, where it’s on view from 5 to 9 p.m., and again on Saturday, July 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition, a monitor on the grounds of MoCNA broadcasts the audio-visual 3-D digital model in a loop every Wednesday through Friday, July 16 through Oct. 16.

Benally did a second collaboration, a performance piece with German sound artist and computer-music software developer Robert Henke based on sounds they recorded at Coyote Canyon during the installation of Shí kéyah.

“He does a lot of land-based, ambient kinds of sounds,” said Benally. “At the opening he’s going to play some of those he developed. I’ve developed some as well, though I will probably leave out some elements that are specific to a Navajo audience.” ◀

Is Time Travel Possible?

Testing the ‘Grandfather Paradox’ Wednesday, July 16 7:30 p.m.

James A. Little Theater 1060 Cerrillos Rd., Santa Fe Lectures are free and open to the public. Seating is limited.

Time travel is a science fiction staple, inspiring the plots of countless books, movies, and Star Trek episodes.

But while basic physics allows for the possibility of moving through time, practical concerns like the “Grandfather Paradox,” in which a traveler jumps back in time, kills his grandfather, and therefore prevents his own existence, seem to stand in the way.

Self-described “quantum mechanic” Seth Lloyd looks at an alternate mode of time travel that eliminates any events that could later prove paradoxical, making this phenomenon both theoretically possible and creatively irresistible, whether you’re an astrophysicist or just a daydreamer.

Seth Lloyd is Professor of Mechanical

MOVING IMAGES film reviews Restrepo redux Bill Kohlhaase I The New Mexican Korengal, documentary, not rated, Regal DeVargas, 3 chiles Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington’s 2010 film Restrepo was the rare war documentary that came without a back story. It didn’t dwell on the origins and or character of the war in Afghanistan begun in 2001. It offered little background on the soldiers we would come to know through the film. Its only context was that which viewers brought to it. Junger and Hetherington took us straight to the most dangerous place in Afghanistan for American soldiers, the mountainous region of the Korengal Valley, and then let us watch as the members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, Battle Company, went on patrol, met with villagers, and exchanged frequent fire with the enemy located down the mountain and across the valley.

Larger questions of purpose and strategy, let alone reasons for establishing an outpost in the far-flung region, were barely discussed. Instead, the daily rigors of survival were the focus. Conditions were grim, crowded, and frequently deadly. The men established a base of holes, tarps, and sandbags on a ridge top and named it for a fellow fighter killed early on, Juan “Doc” Restrepo. The footage was shot over 14 months in 2007 and 2008 and the resulting film earned an Oscar nomination for best feature-length documentary. A moving, engaging, and at times troubling film, Restrepo succeeded in bringing the war home — not just its combat, but the grinding and difficult existence these men experienced at this isolated outpost.

It was exactly what those of us at home, so loose with our platitudes about supporting the troops, so ignorant of what they were actually facing, needed to see.

Hetherington and Junger had talked about putting together another film from the extensive footage that

Mountain men: U.S. soldiers in Korengal Valley

PASATIEMPO I July 11-17, 2014

was left out of Restrepo. When Hetherington was killed in 2011 covering the uprising in Libya, Junger dedicated himself to putting it together (about the same time, Junger also assembled a documentary, Which Way Is the Front Line From Here: The Life and Times of Tim Hetherington, which was shown on HBO in 2013). Named for the valley where it was filmed, Korengal, is less a sequel than a collection of outtakes that further develop the ideas hovering behind the story of Restrepo. While themes of survival and camaraderie addressed in the first film are explored here, the film pokes into the minds of the men and how they cope with what sometimes seem impossible circumstances. Now with some 10,000 American troops slated to stay until the end of 2016, the film gives us a needed reminder of the specific difficulties and sacrifices made by individuals who’ve been largely invisible during America’s longest war.

As in Restrepo, the new film portrays the overwhelming isolation of the Americans dug in on the mountainside. The outside world surfaces in radio static and the occasional helicopter visit. The men are seen hiking to nearby villages, visiting with tribal elders, and handing out gifts. To keep from being easy targets, they choose the most difficult routes over rocks and up steep draws to return to the outpost. They’re most uneasy at night when nature calls and they must travel a short distance away from the post to visit the tubes that serve as toilets. They wait out rumors that they will be attacked from the north. But they also discuss, sometimes in studio interviews, their views of responsibility to their fellow soldiers and the true meaning of bravery. These things, indirectly addressed in Restrepo, make Korengal a somewhat different take on what it means to be in combat.

Bravery, to paraphrase one soldier, is when someone goes out of their way, despite the risk of being killed, to protect a buddy. “We didn’t talk about that word much,” says one soldier, “because it’s what everybody was doing.” The soldiers don’t claim to do what they

do out of patriotism or national pride, as another soldier explains. They’re doing it for “the guys on our right and our left.”

Despite the dedication to one another, the soldiers also have their problems. “Imagine living two feet away from somebody for months at a time. Eventually, they get pretty annoying,” says one. We’re shown a shirtless soldier wandering around camp during downtime, harassing his comrades and fidgeting against a wall in an attempt to get a grip. Boredom as well as the Taliban (always referred to as the “bad guys’’) fight against them as well. To defeat it, the men hold discussions over who would win in a boxing match: George Clooney or Fabio. Time is passed throwing stones and wrestling. Help arrives in the form of a generator that gives the men enough juice to play Guitar Hero and other video games. “You want to fight so bad just to pass the time,” says one man.

Fighting and the adrenaline that comes with it become addictive. Combat holds a certain exhilaration, and Hetherington’s hand-held camera footage during such times — reeling, bouncing, and sometimes focused only on the ground at his feet — captures these feelings. Soldiers are heard to yell and cheer like sports fans as battles rage. Asked what he misses when on leave, one soldier says killing people. Between the fighting and the downtime boredom is the intense tension that follows the men while on patrol or when expecting an attack. After seeing fellow soldiers maimed or killed, the question among the survivors is who will be next.

It doesn’t take much reading between the lines to see the problems these men will face once back home, and in that Junger and Hetherington have provided us with the means to understand what our often-trumpeted commitment to the troops will entail in terms of both physical and psychological care. Korengal may not be the revelation that Restrepo was. But it’s a relevant and timely reminder that this war, now winding down, put troops through a complex and, to those of us at home, an unimaginable kind of hell. ◀

MOVING IMAGES film reviews In the dark Michael Abatemarco I The New Mexican Life Itself, documentary, rated R, Center for Contemporary Arts, 4 chiles It seems touching that veteran documentary filmmaker Steve James should direct a movie based on Roger Ebert’s life. Ebert, after all, championed James’ first feature film,1994’s Hoop Dreams, writing a rave review and, later, adding it to his Great Movies list. In Life Itself James takes us on an intimate and revealing journey into Ebert’s past, his rise to become the most recognized film critic working in America, and the long battle with cancer that eventually ended his life.

Ebert was a participant in the making of the film (he died while it was still in production), which makes Life Itself more interesting. James makes no attempt to paint Ebert as a saint — this is no vanity project. It is a well-rounded portrait of an intelligent, thoughtful critic who could be stubborn and irascible at times, had a penchant for large-breasted women, and liked to drink. Ebert, sober since 1979, was a member of Alcoholics Anonymous and broke his anonymity in a blog post in 2009.

Life Itself draws heavily on the critic’s autobiography of the same name, detailing his early years as a journalist for the University of Illinois’ student-run Daily Illini, his brief stint as screenwriter for Russ Meyer’s titillating exploitation flick Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, and his long career as lead film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, a position he held until his death in 2013.

It’s clear that his final years were fraught with difficulties. James films him during long hospital stays,

PASATIEMPO I July 11-17, 2014

Focal point: Roger Ebert

along with stoic wife, Chaz, a former trial attorney who now runs Ebert Productions, is publisher of Ebert Digital, and continues to organize the annual Ebertfest film festival in Champaign, Illinois. Ebert was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2002 and jaw cancer in 2006. After a seemingly successful operation on his jaw that year, his carotid artery burst as he was preparing to go home from the hospital. He nearly died. In the end, his lower jaw was removed entirely and he was left without the ability to eat, drink, or speak, fed by a feeding tube for the last few years of his life. But on camera, Ebert seems happy despite his medical issues.

Entries on his popular blog, like his movie reviews, became prolific. He let his fingers do all the talking.

Gene Siskel, Ebert’s longtime collaborator on the syndicated television shows Sneak Previews and Siskel and Ebert at the Movies, underwent his own battle with cancer when diagnosed with a brain tumor in the late 1990s. Siskel kept his medical condition a secret from his friend. Although hurt by this, Ebert planned to visit Siskel in his final days but never got the chance.

Siskel died in 1999, just days before Ebert’s visit.

Those who miss the legendary banter that made their film critiques engaging to watch will find the behindthe-scenes footage from their shows satisfying and revealing. From the beginning, the pairing was an odd match. In their respective careers they were professional enemies. Siskel wrote reviews for the Chicago Tribune, the Sun Times’ biggest rival. On and off the set they needled and ribbed each other incessantly, engaging in a contentious game of one-upmanship. For viewers, the dynamic worked, and there are instances in James’ documentary where Siskel and Ebert are on the verge of smiling while cracking wise at the other’s expense. They had a shtick and they knew it. The shows were broadcast nationwide, and the memorable “thumbs up” the pair reserved for positive reviews became their trademark.

Initially, Los Angeles and New York didn’t pick up Sneak Previews. Who were these two men from Chicago, and what qualified them to tell us about film? They had no connection to the Hollywood scene and New York

already had Pauline Kael, a prominent reviewer for The New Yorker. But Ebert had mass appeal, plus the advantage of being a regular TV personality. He covered the Cannes Film Festival in depth each year, as well as other film festivals, eventually starting one of his own.

He engaged with students on college campuses by doing shot-by-shot analyses of Vertigo and other films, revealing details ardent movie buffs and casual moviegoers might otherwise miss. “We’d find it even if it wasn’t there,” he jokes at one point.

Interspersed with the life story are numerous testimonials from filmmakers and critics who discuss the extent of Ebert’s influence. Martin Scorsese, a close friend, recounts a moving story about his battle with drug addiction, a problem that almost derailed his career in the 1980s. It was only when Siskel and Ebert invited him to participate in a panel discussing Scorsese’s work that the director realized the extent of his own influence. It was a life-changing experience that set him back on track to become one of the nation’s top directors. We also hear from filmmakers Werner Herzog, Errol Morris, and Ramin Bahrani, all of whom benefited from Ebert’s positive reviews. But the critic spared no punches if a film missed the mark, giving negative reviews to films by directors he usually liked, if they deserved it, as he did with Scorsese’s The Color of Money (1986). Some seemed to take his more acerbic zingers in stride, seeing a negative review from Ebert as an indication to try harder next time.

Ebert loved films in every genre, writing eloquently about popular cinema and supporting more obscure efforts such as 1978’s Gates of Heaven, a documentary about a pet cemetery in California and one of Ebert’s personal favorites.

Life Itself is a profoundly moving tear-jerker of a documentary that does the job of depicting its subject about as well as can be expected. Ebert always maintained that it wasn’t what a movie was about as much as how it was about it. That’s what made a film good or bad. One wonders what Siskel and Ebert would have thought of Life Itself: I, for one, think they would give it two thumbs way up. ◀

Drinks on the brink: Jenny Slate and Jake Lacy

Incidental politics Laurel Gladden I For The New Mexican Obvious Child, indie rom-com, rated R, The Screen, 3 chiles By day, 20-something Donna Stern (Jenny Slate, the voice behind the popular “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On” YouTube video) works at the Unoppressive Non-Imperialist bookstore in Brooklyn. By night, she’s an aspiring comedienne who performs raunchy confessional-style stand-up at a local club. Her mother (Polly Draper), a business-school professor, nags her about her college loans and lack of professional ambition. She makes spreadsheets of Donna’s debts and job opportunities and complains, “You waste that 780 verbal [SAT score] telling jokes about having diarrhea in your pants.”

To add insult to injury, one night after her routine, Donna’s boyfriend breaks up with her in the club’s unisex bathroom, and the next morning she finds out she’s going to lose her job. So she does what many of us might do — goes out with a friend and drowns her sorrows in bourbon and Coke. That inevitably leads to a drunken one-night stand with a nice guy named Max (Jake Lacy), a boat-shoe-wearing MBA candidate from a small town in Vermont. A few weeks later, Donna realizes she’s pregnant and decides to get an abortion.

The timing of this film’s release seems remarkably apt, in the wake of the recent Supreme Court rulings. And while the idea of a romantic comedy whose plot hinges on an abortion certainly sounds divisive, anyone expecting this film to incite a partisan battle might want to hold their fire. Rather than using the film as a political soapbox, director Gillian Robespierre presents a provocative issue as something ultimately human — a common, unfortunate fact of life for many women — and she finds humor in it. Obvious Child isn’t really about abortion — it’s about Donna.

If this film angers anyone, it won’t be because it isn’t funny or endearing.

Donna is a little like Sarah Silverman Lite: she cracks jokes about bodily functions and sex, but she doesn’t have a full-blown potty mouth. (Still, if a frank discussion about a woman’s day-old underwear isn’t your cup of tea, stay home.) Donna’s requisite gay BFF Joey (Gabe Liedman) adds some biting humor with lines like, “I like my men like I like my coffee: weak and bitter.” The film is short and sketchily developed, but everything about it feels believable and real.

Robespierre does inject some politics here and there. Over dinner, Donna’s roommate Nellie (Gaby Hoffmann, warm and levelheaded) complains about our “patriarchal society where some weird old white dudes in robes get to legislate our [xxxxx].” Mostly, though, she presents a vivid, realistic picture of Donna’s rather typically messy young-person’s life without judging, lecturing, or imposing some sort of moral or life lesson. After all, American audiences sit through countless assaults, rapes, and murders in movies and on TV on a regular basis. Isn’t it time for us to allow a filmmaker to present the story of a reasonable woman having to make a crummy life decision, politically contentious though it may be? ◀

Along with Restrepo, Korengal is a valuable document of combat conditions that went mostly unnoticed at home. Not rated. 93 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Bill Kohlhaase) See review, Page 56.

Big-city brats: Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou in Chinese Puzzle at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe

opening this week CHINESE PUZZLE French filmmaker Cédric Klapisch concludes his informal “Xavier trilogy,” which began with 2002’s L’Auberge Espagnole and continued with 2005’s Russian Dolls.

Those films are fairly trifling, and you don’t need to see them to get this one: the story tells the fairly insufferable journey of a white, middle-class writer named Xavier (the ever-likable Romain Duris), through the seemingly endless parade of beautiful women in his life, and concluding here in a New York City that never feels real. Xavier’s vaguely existential dilemmas stem from a place of deep narcissism and privilege, which would be forgivable if the film were funny (see every Woody Allen movie).

Alas, as filmmakers go, Klapisch isn’t in the same ballpark as Allen. Rated R. 117 minutes. In French with subtitles. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe.

take out whatever humans survived a massive plague (Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, and Keri Russell chief among them). Rated PG-13. 130 minutes. Screens in 3-D and 2-D at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) FILTH James McAvoy gives a searing performance as Bruce an abusive, misanthropic Scottish police sergeant investigating a death. He is addicted to drugs, alcohol, and rough sex and haunted by the memory of a child whose life he couldn’t save. Bruce takes his anger out on the world around him. Not 10 minutes in, and he is molesting a 16 year-old girl. He plays mean-spirited practical jokes on colleagues and threatens and cajoles witnesses. Moments of jarring comedy and an ill-timed song-and-dance number make you question exactly what Filth is aiming to achieve. A plot twist fans of Fight Club might appreciate ushers in a powerful and compelling third act, but the filmmakers can’t resist one final, ill-advised joke in the form of an animated sequence before the credits roll. This is a dark film with cynicism at its heart. Rated R. 97 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco) KORENGAL Outtakes from Sebastian Junger and the late Tim Hetherington’s 2010, Oscar-nominated documentary, Restrepo, about a remote U.S. outpost in the mountains of Afghanistan, bring together many of the same

LIFE ITSELF Helmed by Hoop Dreams director Steve James, Life Itself is as moving and revealing a documentary you could expect to see about film critic Roger Ebert. Drawing heavily from Ebert’s autobiography, James paints a complete portrait of the man, detailing his early years in journalism, his contentious relationship with former rival, then partner, Gene Siskel, and his influence on cinema.

Ebert emerges as something of a man of the people, even if, sometimes, he was difficult to get along with. Testimonials from friends, family, and a host of admirers including newspaper colleagues, fellow film critics, and directors reveal that his position at the top of a long list of critics was well-deserved.

The film goes back and forth from the distant past to Ebert’s final years when a long battle with cancer left him without the ability speak but, fortunately for us, not without the ability to write. Bring tissues.

Rated R. 115 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco) See review, Page 58.

OBVIOUS CHILD Aspiring 20-something comedienne Donna (Jenny Slate) works at the Unoppressive Non-Imperialist bookstore and performs raunchy confessional-style stand-up at a local club. After her boyfriend dumps her and she finds out she’s going to lose her job, she drowns her sorrows in booze and has a drunken one-night stand. A few weeks later, she realizes she’s pregnant and decides to get an abortion. While the idea of a romantic comedy whose plot hinges on that political hot-button issue certainly sounds divisive, anyone expecting this film to incite a partisan battle might want to hold their fire. Rather than using her film as a soapbox, director Gillian Robespierre presents the contentious issue as something ultimately human — a common, unfortunate fact of life for many women — and she finds humor in it.

Obvious Child isn’t about abortion — it’s about Donna.

Rated R, 84 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Laurel Gladden) See review, Page 61.

He’s working hard to make it as an understudy and finds himself falling for a veteran dancer in the company (Matthew Risch). As the two men attempt to grow their relationship, their efforts are made complicated by Frankie’s suspicions that he has HIV. Not rated. 89 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe.

This time, the theme is love and the interlocking tales take place in New York City, Rome, and Paris. The cast includes Maria Bello, Mila Kunis, Kim Basinger, Adrien Brody, James Franco, and Liam Neeson. Rated R. 137 minutes.

now in theaters AMERICA Right-wing pundit and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza (2016: Obama’s America) returns with a documentary that aims to prove that liberals are America-loathing traitors and to show us what the world would look like if the U.S. didn’t exist.

Historical reenactments of various hypothetical situations are included. Rated PG-13. 95 minutes.

Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) BEGIN AGAIN John Carney, director of 2006’s Once, returns with another music-themed romantic comedy. Mark Ruffalo plays a former record-label executive who comes across a beautiful young singer (Keira Knightley) and suggests they make sweet music — and, inevitably, magic — together. Singers and rappers such as Adam Levine, Mos Def, and Cee Lo Green help fill out the cast. Rated R. 104 minutes.

Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) CHEF This movie is the latest offering from writer-director Jon Favreau (Elf).

Favreau plays Carl Casper, an L.A. chef with a successful restaurant and a failed marriage.

Carl gets into a war of words with a critic (Oliver Platt); loses his job; and with the help of his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara), her ex (Robert Downey Jr.), and an amiable line cook ( John Leguizamo) heads to Miami with his son (Emjay Anthony), hoping to start over.

Chef is part “food porn,” part tale of self-discovery,

part father-son bonding story, and part road-trip movie — with nary a conflict or villain in sight. It will remind you to appreciate the simple things in life, and you may never make a grilled cheese sandwich the same way again. Rated R. 114 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Laurel Gladden) DELIVER US FROM EVIL Eric Bana plays a New York City police officer who investigates a series of demonic possessions around town. Since the Ghostbusters are never around when you need them, he enlists the help of a priest (Édgar Ramírez) to help get his exorcise regimen on. Rated R. 118 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) EARTH TO ECHO This family-oriented sci-fi film evokes a low-budget, early-career Steven Spielberg, right down to the gangs of bicycle-riding youngsters and wonder-filled shots of special effects in suburbia.

The plot may also sound familiar: the kids involved find an E.T. named Echo (a little robot-looking thing), and help it phone home. Rated PG. 91 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) EDGE OF TOMORROW It’s Groundhog Day meets a sci-fi D-Day in this flick, in which a soldier (Tom Cruise) repeatedly relives the same day — on which the Earth loses a major battle against hordes of invading aliens — until he develops the skills necessary to change the outcome. The action is strong, but the effects, particularly of the aliens, seem overcooked. Cruise handles the gravity and levity, and a tough-as-nails Emily Blunt proves her action-movie mettle. It’s hard to frown on an original sci-fi concept during a summer full of superheroes and adaptations, but with flaws in the first and third acts, Edge of Tomorrow doesn’t quite succeed. Rated PG-13. 113 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) THE FAULT IN OUR STARS Teenage romance films often involve a girl wearing a prom dress and a boy wearing a sweet pair of shades. This one is much different: the girl (Shailene Woodley) wears an oxygen tank and the boy (Ansel Elgort) a prosthetic leg; she is dying, and they meet in a cancer-support group. This film is based on a beloved book that readers insist isn’t as depressing as it sounds.

Rated PG-13. 125 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) GORE VIDAL: THE UNITED STATES OF AMNESIA There’s a bit of hagiography at work in Nicholas Wrathall’s documentary about Gore Vidal, but its subject stands up to the treatment. Born to privilege and one of

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

the towering literary figures and social critics of the 20th century, Vidal comes across as sometimes bitter, often contemptuous, brilliantly witty, and generally cynical about America’s power structure — yet with a burning, unquenchable idealism when it comes to social justice. The film gives us highlights of the life of this remarkable, controversial, supremely articulate, and never boring American literary lion, and Wrathall leaves us wanting more. Not rated. 83 minutes.

Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards) THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL It is truly a joy to witness the work of Wes Anderson, who devotes such attention to his creative vision that he crafts his own singular world. Here, he tells a tale of an Eastern European hotel manager (Ralph Fiennes) who is willed a priceless painting by a former lover (Tilda Swinton). This angers a relative (Adrien Brody), who feels he should be the true heir. Anderson adds suspense worthy of Hitchcock or Carol Reed to his impeccably designed “dollhouse” aesthetic. Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Edward Norton, Jude Law, and Harvey Keitel co-star. Rated R. 100 minutes.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 In this sequel to the much-loved 2010 animated adventure, Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and Toothless — his wonderful, expressive, doglike dragon — return to explore the vast horizons of their Viking kingdom. They come into trouble in the form of would-be world-conqueror Drago (Djimon Hounsou), which leads to enough action to bloat the running time. The animation is spectacular, however, and Cate Blanchett (as Hiccup’s mother) helps flesh out one of the strongest female characters in a nonFrozen animated film in years. Rated PG. 102 minutes.

Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker) JERSEY BOYS Music is in the heart of the beholder. If you were a Four Seasons fan, you’ll find plenty to like in this greatest-hits album packaged with a disappointingly routine hand by director Clint Eastwood into a biopic by way of a mob movie wrapped up in a rags-to-riches tale.

John Lloyd Young is a stretch as 16-year-old innocent Frankie Valli in the beginning, but as the character ages he catches up. He does a good job reprising his Tonywinning performance from the Broadway hit, and he does sound uncannily like Valli. Christopher Walken adds his usual leavening presence to an otherwise fairly anonymous but energetic cast. Rated R. 134 minutes.

Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards) LE CHEF Although it shouldn’t be confused with Jon Favreau’s recent cream puff of a similar name, this silly French comedy is equally light and predictable — just not as enjoyable.

Clownish wannabe chef Jacky (Michaël Youn) has a pregnant girlfriend, but he can’t keep a job — he berates diners for their orders and corrects their wine selections. Meanwhile, veteran celebrity chef Alexandre (Jean Reno) has prioritized his career over his family. He’s under pressure from his boss, who prefers molecular gastronomy to classic cooking and wants Alexandre to use cheaper ingredients. Jacky and Alexandre form an unlikely alliance, and the result is a classic goofy farce from the Jerry Lewis and Peter Sellers school of sometimes-cringe-inducing comedy. Rated PG-13, 84 minutes. In French with subtitles. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. (Laurel Gladden)

ON MY WAY There are worse ways to spend a couple of hours than in the company of Catherine Deneuve. Having said that, there are probably few worse ways to spend a couple of hours in the company of the grande dame of French cinema than in Emmanuelle Bercot’s third feature, an aimless meander through the French countryside in search of a story. What begins as a desperate errand to buy cigarettes turns into a road trip, which eventually becomes a buddy picture of the grandparent-and-grandchild-who-start-out-pricklybut-come-to-love-each-other genre. Deneuve remains eminently watchable throughout, but there is seldom a moment when you are convinced that there was a reason, apart from her, to make this film. Not rated.

22 JUMP STREET You know it’s summer at the cinema when you get a sequel to an adaptation of a TV show. But this has a lot going for it: 2012’s 21 Jump Street was an underrated comedy, and filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are fresh off the success of The Lego Movie.

(Not reviewed) TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION The latest installment in Michael Bay’s highly popular yet critically reviled series stars a welcome Mark Wahlberg as a Texas dad who gets wrapped up in a war between giant, transforming robots. These films are based on toys, and Bay plays with them like an 8-year-old might, applying a nonsensical plot to get from one over-the-top action sequence to the next. The movie is loud, dumb, exploitative of both female and male bodies, often unfunny, and distractingly jingoistic, but it’s also more stylish than the typical superhero film and more colorful than the usual sci-fi movie

VIOLETTE For the first two hours or so of this absorbing examination of the life and career of Violette Leduc, the mood is as dark and grim as the leaden skies of a Parisian winter. Leduc (Emmanuelle Devos, Just a Sigh) was a 20th-century French feminist author who wrote with savage self-examination and broke new ground for what women could say, though she remained largely in the shadow of more famous colleagues like Sartre and de Beauvoir. As played with ferocious energy by Devos, she is a raging, whining, neurotic, needy bundle of insecurities and selfloathing. But, as her mentor de Beauvoir (Sandrine Kiberlain) observes, she finds her salvation through literature. Not rated. 132 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards)

RESTAURANT REVIEW Bill Kohlhaase I The New Mexican

Cooking, with sauces Epazote on the Hillside 86 Old Las Vegas Highway, 505-982-9944, www.epazotesantafe.com Lunch only 11:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., Thursdays -Tuesdays; closed Wednesdays Vegetarian options Handicapped accessible Noise level: quiet No alcohol Credit cards, no checks

The Short Order Fernando Olea has brought the name of his previous restaurant and his mole recipes to his new location on Old Las Vegas Highway. On the site of a former nursery, the new Epazote on the Hillside is a bright, spacious place that’s something like an atrium filled with curious art and tropical houseplants. Botanas, or small dishes, of raw meats are cooked by diners at their tables on oval stones heated to 600 degrees, then dipped in infused oils. Entrees, prepared in the kitchen, include meats and seafoods accompanied by one of four moles. Not every infused oil or sauce may be to your preference — but, with several to choose from, it’s easy to find something to like.

Recommended: pork loin, duck breast, and salmon botana, ensalada de la casa, mole dishes, and avocado ice cream.

Ratings range from 1 to 5 chiles, including half chiles.

This reflects the reviewer’s experience with regard to food and drink, atmosphere, service, and value.

5 = flawless 4 1/2 = extraordinary 4 = excellent 3 1/2 = very good 3 = good 2 1/2 = average 2 = fair 1 1/2 = questionable 1 = poor

PASATIEMPO I July 11-17, 2014

Chef Fernando Olea’s former Epazote on Agua Fria was a quaint, crowded place. His new location at the Hillside, on Old Las Vegas Highway, is something else again. The site of a former nursery, the room is big, bright, and soaring.

Light pours in through the fiberglass ceiling, held high on steel trusses. A pathway ascends between stone walls right down the middle of the place, leading past potted tropical plants and succulents, paintings, and curious art objects. It’s something of an atrium and gallery of folk art rolled into one.

The back wall holds Federico Leon de la Vega’s mural-sized canvas New Mexican Mole, a still life of the fruits, cloves, nuts, seeds, pods, and spices a traditional recipe might include. Olea’s fascination with mole has followed him to the Hillside. There isn’t another place in town that serves so many variations. Four were offered on each of our visits — not always the same, but always including the chef’s dusky, complex signature mole. Paired with seared slices of duck breast, it added a warm, earthy finish to the mellow-flavored fowl. The combination of fat and sauce made for something immensely satisfying.

That’s the program at Epazote: meats dipped in sauces or infused oils. When you order the botanas, or small plates, of meat or seafood, you do the cooking yourself on oval rocks heated to 600 degrees. Use the tongs to lay a piece of the pork loin on the stone. There’s an immediate sizzle. Pay attention — the meat cooks quickly. You flip it over after a minute or so. The loin, having lost some of its fat, has become curled, so you use the tongs to push down its edges. Once it’s finished cooking, you roll it up in small flour tortillas with greens, sprouts, and twisted strings of beet, then dip it in a habaneroinfused oil tarted up with tangerine juice. The taste arrives in a pile-on scrum of flavors that takes its time to untangle.

Meanwhile, you place another loin slice on the stone, next to where your dining partner has a butterfly shrimp going.

It’s something like Japanese yakiniku restaurants or Korean barbecue places, where you grill meats at your table, only Southwestern-style.

One meal here started with a complimentary corn truffle served on one of those small tortillas, the truffle dominating the flavor. Then came a wooden tray holding a large, hot rock at its center that was surrounded by slices of salmon and lamb loin. The salmon smelled clean and fresh. It cooked quickly and was good dipped in all four oils: sage-infused, basilinfused, chile-infused, and that sweet habenero-tangerine one. The lamb — we tried to keep it near-rare — was of good quality and went well with the sage oil. The actual act of cooking and dipping was engaging, bringing us in touch with the food and each other as we shared meats, dips, and space on the stone. The oil used in the infusions is robust and a touch pungent with a clean, slightly acid finish. It tends to overpower the herbal flavors, especially the basil and sage.

That same oil is at play in the salad vinaigrettes. A very green-flavored dressing, done with cilantro and herbs, came with the house salad of spinach, mango, bacon, sliced onion, and Cotija cheese; a slightly tart raspberry vinaigrette came on a salad of arugula and other greens, almonds, and red onions.

A special salad with slices of tender tongue was all about the meat: beefy and slightly chewy. Entrees, cooked in the kitchen, are of the same, good-quality meats and seafood, attractively presented, often with curls of cabbage, beet, and crispy rice noodles. A pepper-encrusted beef tenderloin, ordered medium rare, was barely pink inside. The chef’s mole made a strange match with one day’s special of perfectly cooked black cod.

Small duck tacos, a special, were best without dipping sauces.

All of the sauces, including a rich tomatillo, were unique, if not as in tune with our palates as the mole. Dessert at one meal featured delicious, chunky scoops of avocado ice cream topped with either a surprisingly mild beet foam or an amaretto one.

For now, Epazote is open only for lunch — word is that the owner is waiting for a liquor license before expanding to evening hours: a shame, since this seems like a great place to gather with a group of friends to share the process of stone-cooking a meal while enjoying pleasantly curious surroundings. What does this space, so bright in daytime, look like at night? ◀

drought tolerant native grass lawns. Blue gramma and buffalo grasses are the two most common types grown in the Santa Fe area.

Blue gramma is the fastest and easiest to grow from seed. It usually germinates within two weeks of sowing. Buffalo grass is a shorter grass that requires little or no mowing and forms a tighter and denser lawn. The two can also be mixed together for the best of both. Which ever you choose it is very important to do good soil preparation by tilling in compost and removing all debris and root clumps. Also keeping the area moist, watering once or even twice a day, is crucial.
