The fabric of our lives: Cities, slums, neighborhoods, people Wednesday, June 18, 7:30 p.m. James A. Little Theater 1060 Cerrillos Rd., Santa Fe Lectures are free and open to the public. Seating is limited.
What is a city, and what makes Chicago so different from Los Angeles? Luis Bettencourt peers inside the city, down to the data describing its neighborhoods and its people. He shows how a city is less a place than a fabric, woven from the threads of the individual lives interacting within it – it is, in fact, connections that define a city. He then suggests that, from a perspective of human development, the world’s slums can be thought of not necessarily as problems, but rather as gateways for millions of people transitioning from largely self-sufficient rural lives to highly connected urban lives.

Calligraphy: Breakthrough with the Brush This tricky week only coincidentally begins with Friday the 13th.
We can expect the unexpected — deal with people as if the zombie apocalypse might break out at any moment in an otherwise calm, lovely, and friendly week. Need to talk to an old friend? Great. Ready to tackle a long-postponed project? Wonderful. Mercury retrogrades for the next few weeks and complicates the way we communicate, think, and move through the world but helps us look within, complete tasks, and reconnect with one another. But it also brings wild cards and tough questions. Another tricky aspect brings us back to fresh challenges along with this year’s core work. Mars moves into an energizing but sometimes turbulent and combative T square with Uranus and Pluto. This can encourage restlessness in some,while others can feel it heat up anxiety or aggression. We are challenged to stay calm and loving in a difficult situation and need to be extra-patient with one another. An industrious Capricorn moon encourages us to get down to work this weekend. It may be tempting to manipulate other people to relieve anxiety or feel more in control, but let’s see if we can listen to a the deeper lesson instead. Early next week we need to work together as the moon enters friendly, sociable Aquarius and Mercury retrogrades back into talkative Gemini. If we feel worried, remember that it’s just a little extra voltage in the nerves. Keep the conversation going, and keep looking for the truth rather than repeating misinformation. Midweek, Venus sextiles generous Jupiter, warms our hearts, and leaves us in a tender place. If we’re unusually sensitive to the surrounding emotional turmoil, notice the feelings flowing by and remember our solid core underneath.

Friday, June 13: An ambitious Capricorn moon pushes us to accomplish much, but we can run into tangles.Treat each other with respect. Tender feelings can get swept aside by events during the day, but we have more room for personal engagement tonight. Our mood improves with patience and acceptance. Saturday, June 14: Stay on track — it could be a bumpy ride as Mars squares Pluto. Old emotions, frustrations, and mechanical difficulties resurface — as do concerns about our adequacy. All of this can be fodder for productive work. Evening comes with more kindness as the moon trines Venus. Sunday, June 15: Let this be a healing, renewing morning. The moon enters communal, social Aquarius this afternoon. People may be a bit disjointed or odd but appreciate our efforts. Monday, June 16: Revisit an old problem and see if new solutions can be found. People get touchy, so let’s own up to our attitude. Follow through on anything agreed upon — build trust. Tuesday, June 17: As Mercury retrogrades back into Gemini, watch out for opinions that pass as fact. Seek the truth with head and heart. Wednesday, June 18: The mood is tender, touchy, creative, and nonlinear. The heart speaks volumes as Venus sextiles Jupiter, but our words may be all mixed up. Read body language and project warmth under the sensitive Pisces moon. Reel in emotional expectations, and help others as the moon conjuncts Chiron. Thursday, June 19: We’re generous — as long as our feelings aren’t hurt — as the tender Pisces moon trines Jupiter. We may feel frazzled this afternoon as the moon squares the sun — don’t tax others unnecessarily. As the moon enters Aries tonight we grow independent — with an attitude. ◀ www.roanrobbins.com

IN OTHER WORDS book reviews Funny Once: Stories by Antonya Nelson, Bloomsbury, 292 pages In her seventh collection of stories, Antonya Nelson gives us family in a variety of permutations and contortions. Everyone is trying to make the best of his or her circumstances with varying degrees of ability. In “Literally,” a father and his two children cleave to their housekeeper and her son after the children’s mother dies. In “Soldier’s Joy,” a woman visiting her parents is able to evaluate her marriage from afar while reconnecting with her teenaged self. “First Husband” and “iff” take on multiple marriages and the affiliated familial relationships that don’t dissolve with the signing of a divorce decree. Former mothers-in-law, ex-stepchildren, grandchildren who aren’t actually related to their grandparents, old lovers of philandering fathers—everyone has a stake in Funny Once. The geography of Funny Once covers Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Kansas. The stories, joined by subject and theme, read smoothly from one to the next without being connected by plot or character. The book is a study in how to put together a cohesive collection of stories that are similar in tone but don’t all sound the same. It feels effortless. Nelson doesn’t hammer home her themes, and she doesn’t reach for easy summary. There are no big aha! conclusions that seem to be the hallmark of so much short fiction — that moment when the reader can say, Oh, I know what this story was for. The tales here betray no visible effort on Nelson’s part to teach us any specific lessons. It’s difficult even to sum up the plot of any of them. The final story, for instance, a novella called “Three Wishes,” features a senile widower duct-taped to an easy chair in the back of a truck, an unhappily married woman, a terrible creativewriting teacher, and an epileptic dog, but it’s not really about any of them. It’s about how a set of siblings and their offspring operate around the holes left by the dead and gone. Or, another reader might say, “Three Wishes” is about alcoholism, death, futility, and the chance of hope, while yet another would say it’s about aging and acceptance. Nelson has a flair for incisive description, often applied to one character through the eyes of another. In “Three Wishes,” Hugh Panik somewhat drunkenly assesses his sisters: “His older sister looked like a woman who knew how to have fun in the world, whose smile came from zealous desire, whose mind was worth investi14
PASATIEMPO I June 13-19, 2014
gating, who wouldn’t reject you without a test run. His little sister looked like somebody who’d threaten to kill herself if you broke up with her.” Whether or not Hugh’s perceptions are accurate, it reveals something about the way he encounters and categorizes other people. Hugh himself is a marginally employed alcoholic with a soft heart and a softer spine. Nelson’s talent for depicting unhappy, sometimes inscrutable, and somewhat emotionally cold women has been on display throughout her career, which includes the publication of four novels. While she has not lost her touch with those characters — they appear in “iff,” “Winter in Yalta,” “The There There,” “Chapter Two,” and “Three Wishes” — there is a roundedness to them in Funny Once that allows the reader to see past the characters’ psychological defenses and feel more welcome in the story. The title story begins with Phoebe — 39 years old, prone to pessimism and lying — listing things she hates, which include Houston, tourists, and polarized sunglasses. She and her partner, Ben, are going to dinner at the home of two women Phoebe hates. They are a couple, and both are named Louise. Phoebe and Ben have vowed not to drink anymore, even though alcohol is what makes dinner parties tolerable. While Phoebe isn’t written to be likeable, the reader can relate to her. “Through the large plate glass window she saw their hostesses — Ouisie and LL, they were called, nicknames they’d adopted when they’d hooked up — waiting for them, the matronly elder, Ouisie, wearing a condescending smile and her apron, and LL, the ingénue, with her chin lifted, hands on her hips, tongue stuck out. ‘This is the last time I’m going in that house.’” Suicide, which reverberates throughout the collection, is treated as a fuzzy concept, a choice between life and death not as clear-cut as one would like it to be. This subtle approach accurately resembles and reflects the lasting impact of the drastic act. There are always questions, but sometimes it’s easier, or safer, not to ask them. In Funny Once, as in the real world, life beats up some people more than others. Some people’s surfaces are just more permeable; they don’t shake off the things that happen to them. Sometimes you find yourself living among strangers who have become family or family who have become strangers. Drinking, cheating, and even sleeping are ways to cope with the cruel world — a balm. Some people, Nelson seems to be saying, need that balm. — Jennifer Levin
SUBTEXTS The epic in the ordinary James Joyce’s Ulysses is popularly known for two things: obscurity and obscenity. The former was Joyce’s method for assuring the book’s longevity. “I put in so many enigmas and puzzles,” he once said, “that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant.” The latter created the book’s first sparks, resulting in thousands of copies being burned here and in the United Kingdom. Shortly after the book’s publication in 1922, English poet Robert Noyes told the Royal Society of Literature, “There is no foulness conceivable to the mind of madman or ape that has not been poured into its imbecile pages.” This was Noyes’ flowery way of saying the book contained descriptions of masturbation and orgasm. Joyce’s confounding work is getting new attention this Bloomsday, the annual celebration of the author’s masterpiece on June 16 — the day in 1904 in which the whole novel takes place — because of Kevin Birmingham’s new release, The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce’s Ulysses (Penguin Press). The text chronicles the origins and writing of the tale as well as its transformation, in Birmingham’s words, “from an insurgency to an institution.” That’s a great story in itself. Birmingham also describes how Bloomsday has turned into a worldwide event that includes readings, period costumes, and the eating of lambs’ kidneys for breakfast. Joyce scholar and professor of English emeritus at Dartmouth College James Heffernan will give a free pre-Bloomsday lecture sponsored by the Lannan Foundation, “Leopold Bloom and His Adulterous Molly: Can This Marriage Be Saved?” at 3 p.m., Sunday, June 15, at the New Mexico Histor y Museum auditorium (113 Lincoln Ave.; details a t w w w. l a n n a n . o rg ) . Heffernan sees something more in the book than dirt and difficult reading. “In spite of its reputation for obscurity, Ulysses is one of the most vitally human books ever written, a novel of flesh and blood and pain and passion and music and laughter — a great symphony of human voice,” he has said. With that, Heffernan gives us permission to quit obsessing over how the seemingly mundane life of a Dubliner might measure up to that of the Odyssey’s great hero and instead enjoy the book for what it is: the unfolding complexity of a man’s thoughts as he goes about a day, not so different than any other, yet epic in its own way. — Bill Kohlhaase
The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, translated by Wayne A. Rebhorn, W.W. Norton & Company, 947 pages The year is 1348. Europe is devastated by the Black Death, few cities more so than Florence. “Caring for nothing but themselves, a large number of both men and women abandoned their own city, their own homes, their relatives, their properties and possessions and headed for the countryside,” wrote Giovanni Boccaccio. “They simply concluded that no one in Florence would survive and that the city’s last hour had come.” What’s a good woman to do in the face of death and disorder? In the case of Pampinea, a central character in The Decameron, Italy’s earlyRenaissance masterpiece of vernacular storytelling, she takes it upon herself to round up her friends and their servants, chat up some courtly young men, and head to the hills. Pleasantly ensconced in nature, the friends politely thumb their noses at death by whiling away the hours playing their lutes and telling one another tales of cheats and scoundrels, courtly love and earthy adultery, corrupt clergy and holy sinners. A strange and bawdy outpost of the Western canon, The Decameron is like the missing link between One Thousand and One Nights and John Updike’s Rabbit, Run. In Wayne A. Rebhorn’s new translation, the Italian is rendered into an Americaninflected English that is both tart and sultry. Reading the prose feels less like slogging through a classic and more like binge-watching a telenovela series. In one story, two young men lodge overnight at a humble boardinghouse with plans to seduce the women who live there. One sleeps with the host’s daughter, whom he has secretly been courting. The other finds himself making love to the host’s wife, who has confused the beds upon returning from her evening chores. To top it off, the man who has been carousing with the host’s daughter erroneously climbs into bed with his paramour’s father, thinking he is his buddy, and begins to boast of his sexual conquest. As the mistaken identities threaten to explode in violence, the razor-witted wife manages to convince her husband that the young man has a sleepwalking problem, while all the offending parties recognize the ruse and play along. This is a remarkable example of a work, written in the 14th century, that places an intelligent woman at the center of a story, nimbly showing her ability to navigate sexuality, adultery, traditional gender roles, and biological imperatives. That’s The Decameron in a nutshell. It overflows with pulp tales that juggle the Christian mores of the Middle Ages with the inquisitiveness of the Renaissance . In another story, a Jewish man named Abraham is egged on by his friend to convert to Christianity. Taking him on his dare, Abraham heads to Rome to live among the clergy. There, he discovers a crew of holy men so debauched and corrupt they would send anyone running. Instead, Abraham decides to be baptized, concluding that any faith surviving such licentiousness in their leaders must indeed be a strong and powerful one. The Decameron, with its unsentimental, fleshy realism about marriage and monogamy, the clergy and corruption, is a useful reminder that not all classics were written as high-minded literature. Some works earn the elevated position by being valuable repositories of a long-gone culture’s wit, humor, and habits. — Casey Sanchez

TERRELL’S TUNE-UP Steve Terrell
A fine Mess
Chances are, unless you religiously listen to my radio show, Terrell’s Sound World (which, by the way, you should), you haven’t heard of The Electric Mess. Actually, if not for the glory of the internet — and, specifically, my favorite musical community of recent years, The GaragePunk Hideout — I wouldn’t have heard of this Mess either. But, by golly, if you like wild, frantic, high-energy rock ’n’ roll, you really need to acquaint yourself with this New York band. The group’s third album, House on Fire, is as good a place as any to start. All 13 tracks are full of fire and craziness. The sound is not drastically different from the band’s first two albums (its self-titled debut from 2009 and 2012’s Falling off the Face of the Earth). But that’s a good thing. If you like this one, you’ll want to seek out those first two. Fronted by singer Chip Fontaine (real name Esther Crow), the group has a sound rooted in 1960s garage rock but not shackled in nostalgia. True, The Mess is a guitarbased band that features an electric organ (Oweinama Biu), but you won’t get the idea that the musicians are trying to sound like Question Mark & The Mysterians or The Standells (though, at least in their early days, they were known to cover “Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White”). Fontaine/Crow’s voice reminds me a little of Joan Jett’s. (Here’s a fantasy: a Jett/Crow duet on The Replacements’ “Androgynous.”) House on Fire’s highlights include the opening song, a crazed little rouser called “Better to Be Lucky Than Good,” which could be a grandchild of The Velvet Underground’s “White Light/White Heat.” (One recurring lyric: “They did it all for the white light.”) This is followed by the album’s title song, in which the speed is just as breakneck and intense. “She Got Fangs,” which starts out with a throbbing bass line from Derek Davidson, is a hoodoo-heavy song about vampires: “Vampire woman, can’t you see/What your hunger does to me?” I’m not sure what Jimi Hendrix’s “Third Stone From the Sun” has to do with any of this, but it’s there, courtesy of guitarist Dan Crow (Esther’s husband), during one of the song’s instrumental breaks. Then there’s “The Thing That Wouldn’t Leave” (the title is from a classic John Belushi Saturday Night Live skit), which is about folks who always wear out their welcomes. And even fiercer is “Leavin’ Me Hangin’,” a song in which the singer expresses displeasure at being stood up. In the middle of the song is a weird spoken-word segment: “Girl, you

ain’t no Queen of Sheba, and I ain’t no piece of liver, but you never deliver. Man’s ego is like a fragile bird, but you step on that bird’s wings one too many times, and he turns into an evil hawk with red fiery eyes, on the hunt for you girl. ’Cause you’re my bird of prey, and this is what I have to say.” This is followed by a 10-second (yeah, I timed it) scream as the band goes into overdrive. The final track, “Every Girl Deserves a Song,” starts off fast but then, after a minute or so, slows down into a wah-wah-enhanced groove. (Am I crazy, or do I hear a faint echo of The Allman Brothers’ “Midnight Rider” in here?) “Why don’t you bring

some Percocets just to help me cool my jets,” Crow sings. No, you can’t exactly call this song mellow, but after the pace of the first dozen songs, The Electric Mess deserve to cool their jets a little. Now go get yourself a copy of this album. And tell at least five of your friends. Next time I review an Electric Mess album, I don’t want to talk about how undeservedly obscure this band is. Find the Mess at www.theelectricmess.com.
Also recommended: ▼ Drop by Thee Oh Sees. I was just beginning to come to terms with last year’s announcement by Thee Oh Sees frontman and resident wizard John Dwyer that his prolific band was going on “indefinite hiatus.” The group’s album Floating Coffin, you might recall, was my pick for the best of 2013, and its Albuquerque show last fall was one of my favorite concerts of the year. Now here comes a new album by Thee Oh Sees. And no, it’s not an odds ’n’ sods collection of old tapes, demos, and stuff from long-forgotten tribute albums. It’s actually a new album. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the band we came to know and love as Thee Oh Sees — vocalist and keyboardist Brigid Dawson, bassist Petey Dammit, and drummer Mike Shoun — seems to be, well, on indefinite hiatus. Dwyer moved from the group’s home base of San Francisco to Los Angeles. I think some of the other Oh Sees scattered as well. But more good news. Even without the old lineup, Drop is a pretty decent album. Although not as overtly powerful as the magical Floating Coffin, it still has several mighty examples of Dwyer’s fuzzed-out, rubbery psychedelic excursions. He saved his best for the first three tracks: “Penetrating Eye,” “Encrypted Bounce,” and “Savage Victory,” which make up nearly half the album. These could almost pass for outtakes from Coffin, or perhaps Carrion Crawler/The Dream (2011). One could make that argument for the garagey “Camera (Queer Sound)” as well. While this is clearly Dwyer’s show, he’s aided on Drop by Chris Woodhouse — a longtime associate of the band — on bass, drums, and Mellotron and Mikal Cronin on alto sax. Cronin is best known as a guitarist (if you saw Ty Segall at High Mayhem a few weeks ago, you saw Cronin). There’s also someone called Casafis on sax. Unfortunately, after such an auspicious beginning, the album ends with a three-song fizzle. “King’s Nose” sounds like an attempt to channel Electric Light Orchestra. “Transparent World” is plodding and over-synthy. And the closing number, “The Lens,” is uninspired wimp rock. Come on, Dwyer, lose the damned Mellotron! Although Drop is a welcome addition, I’m not sure what the future of Thee Oh Sees is. Dwyer recently released an electronic album called Hubba Bubba under the name of Damaged Bug. But he’s one prolific guy, so Oh Sees fans shouldn’t abandon hope. Check out www.castlefacerecords.com. ◀

album reviews
ANNE METTE IVERSEN’S DOUBLE LIFE So Many Roads (BJU Records) This album by Danish bassist Anne Mette Iversen — her fifth as a leader — opens with a thrumpy bass solo: lovely, rubato, and abstractly melodic. It’s a perfect presentiment for what’s coming in the next half hour or so. To her long-running quartet — with saxophonist John Ellis, pianist Danny Grissett, and drummer Otis Brown III —Iverson adds trombonist Peter Dahlgren and the 4Corners string quartet. The strings open “Chapter One” dissonantly, sweetly, complexly, the drums a whisper more than a driver. After a pause, the strings saw brightly in unison, out of which rises Ellis’ soprano, and then the voices blend; the next transition is into a jazzier setting, the strings cradling a fleet trombone solo. “Chapter Two” first offers wonderful piano-bass contrasts. The music develops into quiet but hard-swinging post-bop, while sparsely placed strings lend some classy coloration and suspense. A dramatic violin section eight minutes in gives the feeling of stirring all of the ingredients contributed by the other musicians. Iversen and her mates have a facility with midstream transformations, in one case (during “Chapter Four”) moving into a zippy call and response between violins and drums. Iversen said she hopes “the art, the music, on this album” are strong enough to give listeners an “experience that sends them on their own personal journey.” It is indeed evocative and often riveting. — Paul Weideman OLD 97’s Most Messed Up (ATO) On its latest album, Dallas band Old 97’s wax philosophical about sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll, although not necessarily in that order. They open with “Longer Than You’ve Been Alive,” a bemused reflection on managing to make a full-time career out of playing rock music for more than 20 years and 10 albums. Once that’s out of the way, it’s on to 11 songs about getting drunk and getting it on, with subtle titles such as “Let’s Get Drunk & Get It On.” Half of the songs seem to be about being too drunk to remember a woman’s name, while the other half are about getting drunk in order to forget a woman’s name. Clearly, this is a band that sees little need for nuance; the musicians play bar-band boogie with hooks big enough to catch the attention of the people at the pool table in the back. There’s a lot of The Replacements in there, some classic Johnny Cash, maybe even some Pogues; it’s drinking music, and well recorded. Most Messed Up sounds like an unrehearsed live show over a killer system: the drums pop, the guitars are given space to roam, and the whole thing moves and rattles. It’s among the best records in the band’s remarkably consistent career; these guys are good at what they do. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have lasted 20 years. — Robert Ker

But who wants to live in an institution?: New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus We’re Married! Now What?, the New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus Pride concert, takes place on Sunday, June 15, at 3 p.m. at the James A. Little Theater (on the campus of the New Mexico School for the Deaf, 1060 Cerrillos Road). Concerts in Albuquerque take place on Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14. The evening begins with songs featuring an idealistic view of love before heading to a more reality-based look at the institution of marriage. “My take on it is that everyone wants to connect with someone and to have that relationship honored. But, like heterosexuals, our marriages are going to have their challenges too,” said chorus director Aaron on Howe. Tickets, $10 to $20, are available at www.nmgmc.org and at the door. — M.W.S.
Giving it the business: the Yes Men
The political hijinksters and activists known as the Yes Men come to the Lensic Performing Arts Center (211 W. San Francisco St.) at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 13. This duo uses “any means necessary to agree their way into the fortified compounds of commerce, and then smuggle out the stories of their undercover escapades to provide a public glimpse at the behind-the-scenes world of big business,” as Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno describe their modus operandi. Tickets are $15; call 505-988-1234 or visit www.ticketssantafe.org. — P.W.
Percussive thrust: drummer Mike Clark
Those lucky enough to have seen Mike Clark’s performance with pianist Michael Wolff at Gig Performance Space in 2012 know that the drummer exceeds his reputation. Clark is celebrated for the drive he supplied to Herbie Hancock’s breakthrough electric album Thrust in 1974. More than just a funk drummer, Clark adds percussive accent and color to all types of material, whether standards or his own compositions, as he propels the music with pinpoint timekeeping. He appears at the Museum Hill Café (710 Camino Lejo) with bassist Michael Olivola and pianist Brian Bennett in a concert presented by the Santa Fe Music Collective at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 19. Tickets are $25; call 505-983-6820 for reservations. — B.K.

tarting on Friday, June 13, Currents 2014, Santa Fe’s homegrown festival of new media, offers a stunning selection of video projection, interactive installations, multimedia art, panel discussions, and performances. New media artists Frank Ragano and Mariannah Amster of Parallel Studios, producers of Currents since its inception, have gathered a considerable amount of dynamic new works for the festival’s fifth year. The bulk of the installations are at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, but multiple venues host related events, including Projected at David Richard Gallery, a show of multimedia digital art by Matthew Kluber, Nancy Dwyer, collaborators Max Almy and Teri Yarbrow, and others; and New Media Transforms Tradition at Zane Bennett Contemporary Art, an exhibit of new work by Astrid Toha, Sophie Kahn, and other artists. This year, Ragano and Amster have expanded the number of performance pieces and venues. “At the Lensic on June 20 we’ve got a performance going on with these guys from London called The Light Surgeons,” Ragano told Pasatiempo. Their show, titled SuperEverything, combines documentary footage, music, and motion graphics to explore the cultural landscape of Malaysia. In addition, Flinching Eye Collective presents a number of pop-up performances during the festival’s opening night. The festival has an international roster of artists, but Amster and Ragano typically feature a large selection of

local artists, including members of the next generation. Throughout the school year, Ragano engaged New Mexico students in projects designed to increase their understanding of digital media as a tool for art. “I go to six or seven schools here and in Albuquerque and in Española,” Ragano said. “I went to Taos this year too. I show them documentation from the exhibition at El Museo the year before. Then I show them a clip of different styles of single-channel video. There’s two things we’re trying to do: increase their vocabulary and get them to submit work. This year we have stuff from the Media Arts Collaborative Charter School in Albuquerque, New Mexico School for the Arts, Desert Academy, a small but beautiful installation from Santa Fe Prep, and Española Valley High.” The student video work and installations are presented at El Museo alongside work by professional artists. Once again, Currents makes use of the Institute of American Indian Arts’ Digital Dome for a series of video and film screenings. This year’s screenings include interactive works such as Bone Jam by Zack Settel, a 3-D mobile based on visitors’poses captured on video; and Chris Clavio’s Mind Chimes, which explores sensory stimuli and mental states using a live brain-wave feed that generates sound and visuals. Shuttles run hourly from El Museo to IAIA on the first two weekends of Currents. Visual works include Texas-based Alejandro Borsani’s The Origin of Clouds, in which the artist re-creates cloud

chamber experiments for the formation of artificial clouds; New Zealand-based artist Gregory Bennett’s Floratopia, a single-channel video animation; and single-channel videography by Peter Daverington, Kate Rhoades, and others. Installations include local artist William Mitchell’s Air and Space, an immersive environment with kaleidoscopic images of nature and cityscapes projected onto suspended umbrellas; and Santa Fe-based Michael Schippling’s various small robotic works. Currents projects often represent a merging of art and science due to the technology involved, but the organizers’focus is on aesthetics.“It’s not about the technology,” said Ragano.“The technology has to be in service to the art.” Currents is the second large-scale media show to hit Northern New Mexico in recent weeks. Digital Latin America, a multi-venue exhibit and symposium organized by Albuquerque’s 516 Arts, opened earlier in June. Currents and Digital Latin America mark the beginning of New Media New Mexico, an effort by Parallel Studios and 516 to promote media arts in the state. As part of the initiative, the organizations offer free guided tours of their respective exhibitions. The Currents tour is at 11 a.m. at El Museo on June 21. The tour of Digital Latin America is at 516 Arts at 1 p.m. on June 28. Both venues are easily accessible via the Rail Runner Express. Train schedules are available at www.riometro.org.

THE SEA [IS STILL] AROUND US: HOPE TUCKER
F
ilmmaker Bill Morrison shoots little film. Instead, he finds it. His documentaries, consisting almost entirely of original newsreel and other footage, are all about history, music, and disappearance. His 2011 film The Miners’ Hymn used archival footage from the British Film Institute to recapture the once teeming, now vanished collieries of northeast England. The eerie, brass-meets-electronics soundtrack to this otherwise wordless film was written by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson. It adds dignity to the drudgery, mass struggle, and demise portrayed in the film. Morrison’s Decasia (a hybrid term that brings together “decay” and “fantasia,” he told Pasatiempo) is a flickering collage of decaying nitrate film stock that resurrects the dead and vanished from around the world. Its score was written by Bang on a Can co-founder Michael Gordon. In it, the long gone look straight at the camera and directly through the years, their gaze poignantly interrupted by the film’s creeping entropy. Morrison’s latest film knots the past and music even more tightly as it continues to find a thread between the decomposition of old film stock and art. The Great Flood shows archival footage of the landmark Mississippi River flood of 1927, an event that drove many Southern sharecroppers to Chicago and other Northern cities. Inside this great migration was a musical displacement as well. Delta blues music traveled north with the victims only to resurface as something different, something amplified and more sophisticated in the cities of the Midwest. The Great Flood’s soundtrack, written by guitarist Bill Frisell and recorded by Frisell, trumpeter Ron Miles, bassist Tony Scherr, and drummer Kenny Wollesen, adds a distinct touch of melancholy as well as bits of modern lineage to a document of events largely forgotten. Morrison said in a phone call from his home in New York City that he originally came up with the idea when he discovered film, “and lots of it,” from 1926 and 1927. Then Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, and the flood project took on new meaning. “I was in Baton Rouge, and my host there started talking about John M. Barry’s book Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America. It’s an incredible document of that flood, very evocative. Even before reading it, I knew where to find the film footage.” More impetus came from his desire to do a project with Frisell. “Bill’s a great interpreter of Americana and the music. He has a very unique voice on his instrument. We’d done two previous short pieces together. The flood caused this great migration into the urban cities where ultimately the music changed. I knew this was a piece he could sink his teeth into.” To complete the music that would become the soundtrack, Morrison took some of his commission in 2011 and built a tour for Frisell and the band that followed the Mississippi north, eventually to Chicago. “Being an improvisational jazz musician, the way Bill writes is with his guys on the road or during rehearsal. He can write a few bars down on paper, and then there’s this whole dialogue that happens between them. It’s not like what happens with the classical musicians I’ve worked with. They’ll deliver a score and a midi [synthesized] approximation of what the music will sound like. With Bill, the music is a living, breathing thing. He wants it to grow organically.” At the time they were traveling, the Mississippi was flooding in ways that hadn’t been seen since 1927. “We had this experience, standing on a bank in Vicksburg, Mississippi, arms folded, scratching our chins, feeling that insidious rise of the water and not being able to do anything about it.” The film opens with shots of sharecropper life. Cotton is picked as a foreman rides by on a horse, and bales are rolled to warehouses and loaded on trains. But then the rains come, and the towns and fields are flooded with angry water. Cars with people on their roofs are swept away, and houses are swamped to their roofs. Somewhere inside the film, images from the 1927 Sears Roebuck catalog scroll and flash at stroboscopic speed across the screen, suggesting the flood of materialism that had begun to drown our country. At the end, a man sits at a piano surrounded by listeners, the film sputtering with spots of damage. That damage becomes part of the experience, lending a sort of shifting beauty to the events that disappear behind a foreground of decay. There’s a sense of vulnerability imparted, not only to the film, but the history it records. — Bill Kohlhaase

THE WARRIORS: A
n Tibetan Buddhism, the figure of Tara is revered as a bodhisattva, one who strives toward enlightenment and compassion for the benefit of all sentient beings. Tara, like other figures in the Eastern tradition, appears in many aspects, each associated with different beneficial qualities and identified by a different color and ritual implements. There is a White Tara, a Black Tara, a Red Tara, and so on. Tara is depicted in thangkas, religious paintings on cloth, and in mandalas, representations of the universe in balance, often showing figures from the Buddhist pantheon and arranged in symmetric, geometric compositions. An interest in exploring creative uses for technology and merging it with the ancient, universal form of the mandala led artists and longtime collaborators Max Almy and Teri Yarbrow to create Blue Tara and White Tara, two pieces that combine state-of-the-art nanotechnology and projection in dazzling displays of color and light. The artists have installed Blue Tara at David Richard Gallery for Projected, a group exhibit of digital arts, and have placed White Tara in Currents, at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe. Blue Tara involves video projection and a glass disk, 60 inches in diameter and etched with an elaborate pattern. At the center of the disk is a smaller circle, made using an optical film developed by 3M that takes ambient and projected light and bounces it back at a higher frequency, making it brighter. “We also added diamond dust to the center to add a little optical sparkle,” Yarbrow told Pasatiempo. “Blue Tara is hung about 5 inches from the wall so the projection goes beyond the piece and onto the wall.” “We have been working with large installations where we used projected video,” Almy said. “We started with really big installations with projected video on surfaces — on paintings, on large copper pieces, all kinds of stuff. Not being super-rich, we could never afford the bright-enough projectors to fight ambient light in galleries. We always had to be in a slightly darkened situation to get the most bang for our buck. We started creating pieces that have holes in them. We would do these elaborate cut-outs. You get the brilliant color coming through those openings. Last year we did a piece where we combined a plasma screen behind copper and additional video projected on the surface, so there are two moving images — the one

showing through the holes and the one on top giving a kind of overlay of beautiful patterning.” Their interest in patterns is evident in Blue Tara. The etched glass refracts the projected mandala imagery, creating more intricate geometric configurations. The light appears to emanate from the center of the piece in a hypnotic display of radiating lines. “We’re interested in the interplay of ancient geometry with high technology,” Yarbrow said. “The mandala is an ancient form everyone can relate to. We think of these pieces as meditative. Last year a lot of people stood so long in front of our mandalas that Frank [Ragano] and Mariannah [Amster], the directors of Currents, put chairs out.” Blue Tara developed from an earlier series called Portals, multimedia works that combine cut copper pieces with LCD screens and projection. “We like to play with the idea of multiplicity in our pieces,” Almy said. “There’s a lot of layers. In the copper pieces there are patinas and torched surfaces, overlaying images, and rear projection. But we really wanted to play more directly with light.” Last year, David Eichholtz, co-director with Richard Barger of David Richard Gallery, suggested they do a piece in glass. “We struggled with the idea of using glass,” Almy said. “We couldn’t put a plasma screen behind it because you can see right through the glass and there’s no way to hide it.” The optical film developed by 3M provided an opportunity to work with light and glass without having to mask an LCD or plasma screen. “We talked to 3M and their distributor. They sponsored us for the Currents show. The stuff is incredibly expensive. You buy it by the inch.” Instead of being etched, the surface of the White Tara disk is entirely coated with the optical film, resulting in a more brilliant display than was possible with Blue Tara. “Now when we project the video, it’s not just the circle in the middle. It’s the whole entire pattern,” Almy said. The projected imagery is a blend of sacred geometry and representations of subatomic forms such as the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle. The projected imagery ebbs and flows from the center of the disk in a kaleidoscopic display of constant motion and harnessed light energy. “We’re made of energy,” Almy said. “The world is energy. The quantum physics aspects are the philosophical underpinnings of everything we do. That’s the way we think and breathe.” — Michael Abatemarco

RE-COLLECT: JANE TINGLEY WITH MICHAL SETA
EL MUSEO CULTURAL 6 /13 — 6 /29
COSMIC FLOWER UNFOLDING: BENJAMIN RIDGWAY

PASATIEMPO I June 13-19, 2014
C
anadian artist Jane Tingley is interested in “looking at the not-so-perfect nature of technology and trying to find poetry in it.” The appearance of her work in Currents 2014 suggests something beyond the technological. Re-Collect is a series of suspended, glowing objects connected with cabling. The light-sound piece, which resembles a jellyfish and a tree, is designed to recall the synaptic connections within the brain. Tingley, an assistant professor of hybrid media in the department of fine arts at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, made the prototype form of the hanging objects out of clay, referring to medical drawings of synapses. “I gave the form to a cabinetmaker, and it was spun on a lathe. It’s a beautiful form. Then it was cut in half and carved out in the center. I took the two halves, and I made molds and clear-cast them in resin. “Re-Collect has five nodes, and each one has five arms, and in the center is a circle. So there are five objects hanging with speakers, and in the center is a microphone I made myself. All have fiber optics embedded in them, and there are also LEDs, so there are two qualities of lighting.” What she calls a “sonic and luminescent mass” is actually a responsive installation that incorporates recordings. “It’s constantly attentive to its environment. As people interact in space at various times, the piece is recording them — not in a surveillance way but in a remembering way — and those recordings get folded into a memory.” The recordings are from the lifespan of the installation, which previously exhibited in Montreal, Quebec; Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario; and New York City. When people move through the installation, the recordings are triggered — apparently randomly, although there is a programmed pattern. “Its character will change as it interacts with individuals in Santa Fe; that will shape future experiences in other places. It’s kind of like a human: as you meet people, you change over time.” Re-Collect has several states. When “at rest,” it’s in what Tingley calls a dream state, which is characterized by mild sound events and ambient light fluctuations reminiscent of a lightning storm. “When you enter the space, you start to activate it and it gets agitated and there’s a lovely light display that happens. Once it gets used to you, it goes into the listening state, and that’s when it folds you into its own memory. It then cycles between the agitation and listening states.”
For this piece, she invited composer and digital artist Michal Seta to improvise “a specific sound quality,” she said. “I worked with Michal at the matralab at Concordia [University], so I was familar with his work. “We’re using a physics engine [software], and that creates a threedimensional space where we’ve placed the installation. In a computer we’ve defined the space, and it knows where the speakers and sensors are. So the sounds are spatialized — which means they’re spinning throughout the space — and as people walk through, their bodies will trigger the sensors, and the sensors will push the sounds around.” Can the visitor create a cacophany or something very peaceful by doing certain things? “Well, if the visitor spends a lot of time repeating himself or whistling or doing something very particular, it’s likely that a recording will be triggered while he’s there, but this is more of a longevity type of idea. When we get to Santa Fe, we will add a few things. I want a playback that follows a recording, so maybe something happens and there’s an instant playback. We’re going to try to incorporate something so that people will hear themselves.” The artists will fine-tune Re-Collect for the space. This includes coming up with a way to “wake up” the installation. At previous venues, they were able to do that with a sensor in the doorway through which people entered the artwork space, but at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, the piece is in the center of a room. Regarding the commonly understood divide between the organic and the technological, Tingley is inclined to be a little loose. “I don’t believe the technological needs to be rigid. In fact, if you take off the hard shell of technology, what’s revealed is actually something very complicated and similar to our human systems — our veins and nerves. My interest is not making a machine that sort of pushes forward, stomping forward. It’s more like making something that’s more fragile, so I sort of draw attention to that organic quality of the technological. “I’m really interested in drawing out the sensitivity of technology, looking at technological systems as flawed. Things that are perfect are not so interesting. People aren’t perfect. It’s maybe in our flaws that people have poetry, I suppose.” — Paul Weideman

Figures on a bed, turned away from one another, are absorbed in personal devices. Shen, a Taiwan native, brings a sense of primitive and Asian art forms together to make a statement that ends with echoing questions: “Is that what we want?

S
hift, the collective name for three installations designed by Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallero, together known as Luftwerk, opened at the Chicago Cultural Center in September 2013. The settings, each in its own room, examined the relationship among light, color, and movement. In the first room, a field of colors on a wall was hit by projected light of many colors. The result was an almost endless variation of hues as the 529 colored panels painted on the wall blended with the projected rotating basic colors. The second room had a large white square on the floor. As viewers stood on, touched, or walked across the square, they threw shadows of color as they blocked different aspects of the projected light, the colors intermingling as the shadows crossed and cast on one another, an audio soundtrack seemingly dancing with the colors. The third room was a puzzle in black and white. There, mirrored panels reflected vertical beams of light, creating illusions of space and design while suggesting the existence of various portals in and out of the room. Taken together, the three rooms challenged conventional notions of visual perception as well as the relationship between the seen and the heard. The center room, Synthesis, is on display at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe. Bachmaier, in a phone call from Chicago, told Pasatiempo that Synthesis requires viewers to become part of what they’re seeing. “It’s really a very minimalist installation. You can explore the ways you’re changing the colors — you’re creating, participating. Yes, the colors come as shadows. Without the shadows, the projected colors cancel each other out, and all you see is white light. The viewers create their own synthesis. Your shadow — all the shadows — become a color field. It’s very engaging as the shadows begin impacting one another.” The mechanics of Synthesis are simple, but the staging, keeping the colors melded as white when they’re not shaded, is not. “There are no projectors, no gels for color. It’s just three LED lighting devices that provide the color spectrum. That spectrum changes as viewers block part of the lighting.” Bachmaier and Gallero have cited the artist and color theorist Josef Albers as inspiration for their work, particularly Albers’ statement that “we are able to hear a single tone. But we almost never (that is, without special devices) see a single color unconnected and unrelated to other colors. Colors present themselves in continuous flux, constantly related to changing neighbors and changing conditions.” Another of Albers’ state-

ments seems to define the entirety of Luftwerk’s philosophy: “Our concern is the interaction of color — that is, seeing what happens between colors.” “Researching color intensively, there’s no way to work without considering Albers’ work in context,” Bachmaier said. “But we’ve also looked into theories of how sound and color relate, their relationship. We’ve all heard of people who see a specific color when they hear a certain note. So we’re also engaged in that sensibility of hearing.” The audio component of Synthesis was written by composer and percussionist Owen Clayton Condon. “Owen’s a very reactive and artistic composer. He’s really into conceptual work, very intuitive and collaborative.” The music that provides background to Synthesis— played on glockenspiel, cymbal, and wine glasses — relates mathematically to the piece’s visual aspects. “The six colors we use from three light sources gave him kind of a template to work with: six tones from three kinds of instruments. [What he composed] became a very nice combination of sound and color. In a way, people actually experience the two together; they’re interrelated. They interact with the sounds just as they do with the lighting. And that influences the colors.” Condon and Luftwerk have collaborated before on its site-specific installations. Condon’s marimba score seems to trigger the lines of light that flashed on the various features in a sort of illuminated mapping of Fallingwater for the 75th anniversary of the building that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for his clients above a Pennsylvania waterfall. He also wrote a score for Luftwerk’s 2012 installation Luminous Field, set up in Chicago’s Millennium Park beneath the reflective surface of Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate sculpture. The shifting grid of changing color projected on the surface in front of the balloonish silver sculpture shone back at viewers from the sculpture itself. Bachmaier and Gallero, both graduates of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, began working together in 2000, when Bachmaier asked Gallero to help fix a turntable. Bachmaier transferred to Chicago after studying in Hamburg. They adopted the name Luftwerk, suggesting works in the air, in 2007. “The name acknowledges the ephemeral nature of our work,” she explained. “It’s there, and then it isn’t.” — Bill Kohlhaase

BARDO I : COMO ARAE: CORVAS BRINKERHOFF ar I: Como Arae ardo Arae, an installation at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, employs “a dense mix of light, paint, and sound, immersing the viewer in an undulating, living, breathing painting,” according to artist Corvas Brinkerhoff. “Objects in the room will create shadows, which will composite into a light and shadow underpainting, which I will interpret with actual paint.” Visitors can sit or lie on benches equipped with embedded subwoofers. There they will be “bathed in colored light while gently resonating to low-frequency vibrations, inspired by the depths and hollows of transcendental, liminal states of consciousness.” Brinkerhoff said the artwork is not interactive in a technological sense, because it does not include sensors that could be triggered by viewers to activate devices. “However, the imagery of the piece is a lot about light and shadow, and your shadow becomes part of the imagery. I’m interested in creating work that connects with the viewer in a way that is deep and unusual. It’s a way to take a break from the chatter and the madness of trying to, you know, make a living.” The artist, a Santa Fe resident for the past seven years, grew up in Lawrence, Kansas. “When I was a kid, I didn’t really understand what art was, but I was making things with my hands. Once, when I was 8 or 9, my mother was gifted this ridiculous huge makeup kit, and she gave it to me. I loved it. Some of my first paintings were probably made with that.” He considers his most valuable art education to have been in high school in Lawrence, the result of “an awesome teacher.” He went on to study graphic design and advertising at Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio, but he dropped out. Brinkerhoff co-founded Meow Wolf in 2008 and has been an active member of the art collective ever since. For The Due Return — the first of more than a dozen large installations staged by Meow Wolf — he was responsible for the lighting, sound, interactivity, and multimedia design, and he contributed the “Nomad” control station in the piece, which had the form of a ship. Brinkerhoff described his day jobs as “the Santa Fe shuffle.” He has done freelance lighting and set design for Santa Fe Performing Arts and lighting and multimedia design for Santa Fe Playhouse. He also works in web design, including for the Center for Contemporary Arts, where he works with other artists as CCA’ s lead preparator. He considers Bardo I: Como Arae to be psychedelic art, even though “it doesn’t share the visual characteristics that most people associate

with that. I’m not making mandalas or fractals. But in its conception, it is psychedelic. It’s inspired by experiences I have had while doing a fair amount of shamanic work in South America.” Brinkerhoff spent three months in Peru a few years ago. (More than 100 of his photographs are offered in the “Peru 2012” album on his Facebook page.) Most of that time he was in Iquitos, a city of nearly half a million people and boasting “a large ayahuasca tourism business,” Brinkerhoff said. Ayahuasca is a drink typically made from two psychotropic plants and traditionally used as a sacrament to alter consciousness. “I’ve used both plants in a ceremonial context. Most of my experiences were traditional with a shaman from the Shipibo lineage. In the traditional ayahuasca ceremony, you sit or lie in a circle with others, and it is silent except for the songs of the shaman. What you go through is often described as an out-of-body experience, perhaps similar to the process of dying, which is what I’ve been thinking about, and meditating on, a lot.” He dedicates Bardo I: Como Arae to David Loughridge, a member of Meow Wolf who died of a heart attack in January at 33. Brinkerhoff visited his friend when he was in a coma and “spent a lot of time reflecting on where he was and what experience he might be having.” The visual components of his installation are accompanied by a 35minute original score of ambient music, which he composed. “There is something I’m trying to express. There’s a feeling that I have had in the wake of these experiences with the shaman and my friend dying. There’s a feeling that I’ve had, a certain space inside myself, and I want to try to make that happen for somebody else.” Why? “It’s beautiful. It’s also bewildering, and there is a discomfort, but it’s wonderful. It’s a beautiful thing. I also have an agenda that I want to be part of the solution, so to speak. I would like to make work that might help somebody have or maintain that kind of transformative experience, to heal, to learn and to grow, to know themselves better.” The title of his piece refers to his friend’s coma and to The Tibetan Book of the Dead. In Tibetan Buddhism, Bardo I is the first “twilight state” the consciousness enters after the body dies; it’s a transitional state between death and rebirth “in the human or some other world, or in one of the paradise realms,” according to the book. “This piece,” Brinkerhoff said, “is trying to achieve a sort of liminal state for the viewer by combining color and light in a way that is unfamiliar and hopefully beautiful.” — Paul Weideman

Youthful indiscretions Jonathan Richards I For The New Mexican Night Moves, drama, rated R, The Screen, 2.5 chiles Kelly Reichardt’s Night Moves is a ’60s movie trapped in the 21st century. Take away a few contemporary identifiers like cell phones, and you’re back in the era of Vietnam protests, Weathermen, and antiwar radicals who dreamed of peace and justice and went after it with bombs. Night Moves also has the spare, stripped-down feel of films of that day — a time of anarchy in the movie industry, when the old Hollywood establishment was being rocked by iconoclastic young raging bulls and easy riders who seized the means of production and turned out entertainment and ideology for a generation thirsty for relevant fare that did not involve gladiators or noble surgeons or the shoes of the fisherman. Reichardt (working with frequent writing collaborator Jonathan Raymond) has set her tale in the Pacific Northwest, where a small band of radical activists, outraged at the destructive effect of hydroelectric dams on the environment, has decided to take matters into its own hands. Early in the film, we see a screening of an eco-documentary by an earnest young filmmaker who acknowledges, in the questionand-answer session that follows, that when it comes to saving the planet, “I have no big plans, only lots of small plans.” That’s not good enough for Josh ( Jesse Eisenberg) and Dena (Dakota Fanning). Desperate times call for desperate measures. They have a big plan, and it is to blow up a massive dam in Oregon. They know one dam won’t make much difference to the environment, but it will make a statement.

PASATIEMPO I June 13-19, 2014
Those were the days, my friend: Jesse Eisenberg
The characters are vintage ’60s. Josh is a lightly bearded, sad-faced farmer on an agricultural collective. Dena is a disillusioned young woman from a wealthy family, atoning for her guilt by working at a rustic women’s spa, where a few glimpses of nakedness that show the reverse of the titillation coin. This is perhaps relevant, because reversals are the coin in which we are dealing. Reichardt and Raymond are not in love with dialogue. We never learn much about their characters, but we know what they are against: the damming of mighty rivers and destroying the natural habitat of salmon so that, as Josh mutters, “People can run their iPods all day long.” And they know what they intend to do about it. We ride, mostly in silence, with Josh and Dena to buy a used motorboat, for cash, and then up to a cabin in the woods to visit the third coconspirator, the ex-Marine Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard). He provides them with fake IDs, and they discuss the
amount of ammonium-nitrate fertilizer they need to pack into the boat to take down the dam. A whiff of A Simple Plan — a movie about people who aren’t as smart as they think they are doing a succession of dumb things that lead to disastrous results — begins to emerge here. Harmon tells the other two that, contrary to what they believe, they don’t have enough explosives for the job. He also reveals that he has a criminal record. The film is suddenly developing a rash of “I thought you said” moments that ought to raise a red flag for any observant viewer or co-conspirator. Reichardt has constructed her film in three acts. The first is the setup: hatching the plan, acquiring the boat, getting the fertilizer. Act 2 is the execution of the plan. Most of it (in fact, a great deal of all three acts) is conducted in the dark, which serves as a metaphor as well as making it very hard to see what’s going on. Act 3, roughly the final half-hour, is the aftermath, following the central characters through their reactions to what they’ve done and the consequences — both foreseen and not. The story is earnest and grim, and the actors play it with earnest grimness. Sarsgaard lightens the mood a little, but the other two epitomize the old bromide about the movement lacking a sense of humor. If Eisenberg cracks a smile, he does it off-camera. This is appropriate, and he does an effective job, but it’s heavy, although sometimes suspenseful, watching. Reichardt doesn’t engage in a lot of proselytizing, although in the very telling she can’t escape projecting a point of view. Her characters are young people without a sense of history: like the neocons who ignored the lessons of the region, ancient and recent, by sending troops into Afghanistan (and then diverting strength to the imagined cakewalk in Iraq), these kids have no working memory of the Vietnam era, when radical acts of terrorism sometimes went tragically wrong. This is a movie that evokes the ’60s without remembering them. ◀

Dancing with the archetypes Michael Abatemarco I The New Mexican The Dance of Reality, fantasy drama, not rated, in Spanish with subtitles, Center for Contemporary Arts, 3 chiles When cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky made The Rainbow Thief in 1990, it marked the beginning of a long dry spell for the director. While he was engaged in other creative endeavors, including his popular comic-book series The Metabarons, his plans for a sequel to his visionary film El Topo (1970) never got off the ground. Jodorowsky was the subject of a recent documentary, Jodorowsky’s Dune, about his failed attempt to make an epiclength film version of Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel. The documentary was co-produced by Michel Seydoux, Jodorowsky’s longtime friend and an early backer of the Dune project. In The Dance of Reality, Seydoux reunites with Jodorowsky for the director’s first feature film in more than 20 years. The Dance of Reality is an autobiographical look at the filmmaker’s early life in the Chilean coastal city of Tocopilla. It has familiar elements from Jodorowsky’s other films, including the carnival atmosphere and touches of magical realism and surrealism. Visually, the movie is a feast. There’s little in the way of computer effects. For Jodorowsky, all the visual magic happens in-camera. He fills the movie with elaborate scenes invested with symbolic meanings that, in his signature style, play out as archetypes. Early in the film, the young Alejandro, played by Jeremias Herskovits, encounters a wizened crone on the beach — a meeting marked by portents that would later shape Jodorowsky’s art, such as his intense interest in themes of life, death, and spirituality. The focus of the film is young Alejandro’s relationship with his father, Jaime (Brontis Jodorowsky, Alejandro’s son), an angry supporter of Josef Stalin and Communism. He is a dark figure in the young boy’s life, an uprooted Jew whose family faces anti-Semitism in 1920s Chile. It is a challenge to find a clear narrative as Jodorowsky envisions sequence after sequence through the eyes of a child — one who’s prone to flights of fancy and escapes into imagination. Jodorowsky appears onscreen playing himself and cutting down the wall between actor and audience with asides and brief commentaries on the action. Now in his 80s, he uses the opportunity to reflect on his long life, and this is his misstep. As a filmmaker, Jodorowsky has always had a streak of self-indulgence, and his ego is formidable. His onscreen interjections at times threaten to derail the narrative. Still, he’s an expert at constructing unforgettable sequences that unfold with dreamlike logic and some absurdist moments. He populates several shots with an assortment of clowns, carnival geeks, and dwarves, filling the screen with baroque imagery. This draws some comparison to Federico Fellini: the two filmmakers share an interest in the humanity present in fringe societies. The Dance of Reality could be Jodorowsky’s swan song, the cap to a career marked by a steadfast refusal to compromise his vision. ◀

Tia Lessin and Carl Deal made a documentary that started with the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, which opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate cash in elections, and continued through the Wisconsin political bloodbath that pitted the Republican government against labor unions. That ruckus ended with the evisceration of public unions in the Badger State and the 2012 recall effort to oust Republican Gov. Scott Walker. So far so good. The filmmakers showed their rough cut to a PBS affiliate, which agreed to underwrite the finishing costs and air the film. Then Lessin and Deal made their big mistake: they called the film Citizen Koch. Knees started trembling at PBS. Next thing the filmmakers knew, the funding and the broadcast date were gone. The problem? David Koch is a major contributor to PBS and a trustee and board member of several of its affiliates. PBS said its decision had nothing to do with that. Well, maybe it wasn’t such a big mistake. The filmmakers used the rejection to launch a Kickstarter campaign that raised more than the $150,000 that PBS had committed to, and the resulting brouhaha has blessed their film with major public awareness and a wide release around the country. You can’t buy that kind of publicity. Unless, of course, you’re the sons of one of the founders of the John Birch Society and worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion. That money, and money from kindred spirits, was freed by Citizens United to plunge up to its armpits in American democracy. The Tea Party was underwritten, and corporate money flooded campaign coffers (mostly Republican) across the nation. Lessin and Deal have made a decent, but not exceptional, movie. After dallying with the Supreme Court and its peccadilloes, and the impact of a single change on that bench (Samuel Alito in for Sandra Day O’Connor), the filmmakers set up shop in Wisconsin, where they spend a lot of time with baffled, disaffected teachers, and farmers and public workers. “This isn’t what I voted for,” says a Republican woman who has spent a lifetime in teaching. The filmmakers spend some quality time with Sarah Palin, Walker, some lawyers and politicians, and Buddy Roemer, the former Republican governor of Louisiana who finally left the GOP after being frozen out of the 2012 primary debates. “The politicians don’t run the country,” he grumbles, “the major corporations do.” The film’s title leads us to expect a level of insight into the brothers that it does not begin to deliver. One of the best glimpses into the Koch mind-set comes when, corralled by a reporter in the street, David Koch allows that “the rank-and-file are just normal people like us.” Walker, outspending his opposition 8 to 1, using a lot of Koch money, fought off the recall vote. And one of the dispirited Republicans who voted for recall mutters bleakly at the end, “Look out, the rest of America; they’re comin’ for you next.” ◀

After dallying with the Supreme Court and its peccadilloes and the impact of a single change on that bench (Samuel Alito in for Sandra Day O’Connor) on the Citizens United ruling, the filmmakers set up shop in Wisconsin, amid the political bloodbath that pitted Republican Gov. Scott Walker against labor unions. This movie shouldn’t have been called Citizen Koch — the title leads you to expect a level of insight into the Koch brothers that it doesn’t begin to deliver.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 The first How to Train Your Dragon film was a big hit in 2010 and had a strong life on DVD. Now writer and director Dean DeBlois returns for a sequel that flies into town breathing fire, growling, and looking for every family’s movie budget. This film takes place five years after the first. Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel), his dragon Toothless, and his friends are now young adults and looking to take their flying beasts beyond their limited Viking world.

NEXT GOAL WINS With the 2014 World Cup upon us, it seems like an apt time for a documentary on one of the biggest losers in the history of FIFA soccer: American Samoa, which once lost a match to Australia by the record-setting score of 31-0. Their redemption seems like sportsmovie heaven set in a beautiful locale, but Next Goal Wins is sluggish and strangely unengaging — the average episode of ESPN’s documentary series 30 for 30 is more compelling. More screen time should have gone to Jaiyah Saelua, a fa’afafine person — in the Samoan culture, one belonging to a third gender — who was the first such athlete to compete in a men’s FIFA World Cup qualifier.

now in theaters BELLE A double portrait painted in 1779 shows two aristocratic young Englishwomen, one dark-skinned and one fair-skinned. From that source and the few discoverable facts about its subjects, director Amma Asante built an intriguing story about Dido Elizabeth Belle Lindsay (Gugu Mbatha-Raw). She was the illegitimate daughter of British naval officer Sir John Lindsay (Matthew Goode) and a slave. The historical Lord Mansfield ruled on several important cases involving slavery, one of which figures centrally in the plot of this film. Its smartness and intricacy are unfortunately undercut by an occasional reliance on convention. The cast is excellent, and the luminous Mbatha-Raw is a real discovery. Rated PG. 104 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards) BLENDED Adam Sandler reunites with Drew Barrymore, who charmed audiences in The Wedding Singer. Do they recreate that magic? They play single parents who, despite loathing each other, take their kids on a vacation to Africa. Gross-out humor, rude behavior, and dubious portrayals of African people commence. Rated PG-13. 117 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) CHEF This light, sweet, funny cream puff of a 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, part road-trip movie, and part social-media tutorial — 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) EDGE OF TOMORROW It’s Groundhog Day meets a sci-fi D-Day in this flick, in which a soldier (Tom Cruise) relives the same day — a day in which the Earth loses a major battle against hordes of invading aliens — again and again until he develops the skills necessary to change the outcome. Don’t think too heavily about the details of the plot — just enjoy the ride. Director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) handles action well, but the effects, particularly the aliens, seem overcooked. Cruise handles the gravity and levity, and a tough-as-nails Emily Blunt proves her actionmovie 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 simply doesn’t quite succeed.

( Jonathan Richards) GODZILLA The original 1954 Godzilla is harrowing in part because it sprung from the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This slick update nods to the recent Fukushima disaster, which should be fertile ground for both allegory and terror. Sadly, though, after a promising start referencing Close Encounters of the Third Kind and grounding the action with a superb Bryan Cranston, it slips into rah-rah militarism. Director Gareth Edwards shows a knack for suspense, scale, and cool-as-heck imagery, all of which are important traits in a Godzilla film. He is let down by Max Borenstein’s bloated, wobbly script and a color palette that looks like vomit. Rated PG-13. 123 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker) 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. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) IDA Polish director Pawel Pawlikowski’s stark black-and-white film follows Anna (Agata Trzebuchowska), a young novice in 1960s Poland about to take her vows to become a nun. Anna meets her only surviving relative, a former judge known as “Red Wanda” (Agata Kulesza). She informs Anna, raised as an orphan, that her real name is Ida Lebenstein and that she was born Jewish. Anna and Wanda begin an investigation to discover the fates of Anna’s family during World War II, setting up a contrast between the worldly, wise Wanda and the idealistic Anna. Pawlikowski takes a heavy-handed approach in this beautifully shot film. It offers no new insights into the horrors of war, and the shocking revelations Anna uncovers are almost expected.

He has left a construction site where he is the supervisor for a massive concrete pour. He must deal over the phone with his superiors, his underlings, and his family as his life falls apart. For virtually the entire movie we are with him inside his BMW. No other character appears on screen. Does that get tedious? Not for a moment. Hardy holds us riveted as he keeps his cool on the phone and erupts with emotion when he’s off it or talking to the imagined presence of his father, a man whose irresponsibility shaped the man Locke has become. Written and directed by Steven Knight and shot in eight nights on a budget of less than $2 million, the film is a testament to imagination and talent. Rated R. 85 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe.

Disney, however, has been making modern fairy tales for a long time, and this is its latest take on “Sleeping Beauty.” Angelina Jolie dresses up as the villainous Maleficent from the 1959 animated film, to show us what makes the evil queen tick. Maybe she has just been misunderstood all these years. Rated PG. 97 minutes. Screens in 3-D and 2-D at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. Screens in 2-D only at DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) MANAKAMANA The cable-car journey to Nepal’s Manakamana Temple takes about 17 minutes round trip. Stephanie Spray and Pacho Velez’s documentary, filmed from inside the cable car, is a slow-moving, meditative experience offering a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of pilgrims en route to the temple to beseech the Hindu goddess Bhagwati to grant their wishes. Young and old alike make the journey. Most travelers sit in silence. It’s an introspective, quietly moving film. You may feel alternately like a voyeur or a fellow passenger. Not rated. 118 minutes. In Nepalese and English with subtitles. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco) MILLION DOLLAR ARM In this feel-good sports pic from Disney, Jon Hamm uses his charm to make 48

people believe in themselves. He plays a sports agent who brings two Indian cricket players to America to pitch in the big leagues. Based on a true story. Alan Arkin co-stars. Rated PG. 120 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST Imagine taking the farting-around-thecampfire scene from Blazing Saddles and expanding it into a feature film, and you’ll get some idea of what this swampy Western comedy is all about. Co-producer/director/co-writer/actor Seth MacFarlane is the simple sheep farmer trying to win back his girlfriend (Amanda Seyfried) and best a notorious gunman (Liam Neeson) in a film full of toilet humor and sexist and homophobic jokes. The critics hate it, but some people did laugh — sometimes — during a recent screening in Santa Fe. The film was shot in New Mexico, but the state will survive the indignity. Rated R. 116 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Nott) NEIGHBORS Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne play a married couple with a new baby and a new house. Everything is idyllic until a fraternity moves in next door. When the couple calls the police, the frat boys, led by one unruly chap (Zac Efron), wage a war of pranks on the couple. Schlubby man-child Rogen and handsome youngster Efron have more chemistry than Rogen and Byrne do, and the clumsy penis and pot gags lead to an ending that doesn’t feel earned. But the movie has laughs, is slightly deeper than you might expect, and passes so effortlessly that it’s over before you can chant, “Toga! Toga!” Rated R. 97 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker) PARTICLE FEVER Director Mark Levinson filmed events at the Large Hadron Collider as they unfolded during the most expensive scientific experiment to date — scientists from more than 100 nations sought to prove or disprove the existence of the Higgs boson, a theorized elementary particle that would help explain how matter is given mass. The discovery of the Higgs boson is a dramatic and entertaining story that opens wide the door on a mystery of the universe that has been perplexing scientists since the 1960s, and it will leave you fascinated. Not rated. 99 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco) TOSCA’S KISS Apart from Giuseppe Verdi’s 27 operas, his legacy included the retirement home for musicians he founded in Milan. Daniel Schmid’s 1984 documentary wanders the halls of Casa Verdi, spending time with aged singers who are eccentric, temperamental, and utterly endearing. “Here you never live in the present,”
explains a staffer. These retired divas and divos are, by their reckoning, still onstage, lapsing easily into their roles of yore. The scene in which soprano Sara Scuderi admires one of her ancient recordings has by now caused tears to well up in the eyes of three decades of viewers. Not rated. 87 minutes. In Italian with subtitles. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. (James M. Keller) X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST The cast of the original X-Men trilogy meets the cast of X-Men: First Class, thanks to the wonders of time travel. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) leaves a nightmare future and returns to the 1970s to prevent the destruction of mutantkind. The script is tight and handled with resourcefulness by returning X-filmmaker Bryan Singer (director of the first two installments), who stages solid action, plenty of “wow” moments, and impressive set pieces. The film also has heart, which can be attributed to work by the strongest cast to ever don spandex for a superhero flick, including Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Ian McKellen, and Patrick Stewart. Rated PG-13. 132 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker)

The Short Order There’s more than the usual sports-bar fare to enjoy as you cheer on your team at Junction. The expected nachos, wings, poppers, and quesadillas are supplemented by specials, including such refined selections as roasted duck and a quinoa salad. Mussels steamed in beer pair well with slabs of fried calamari steak. Even some of the sportsappropriate selections, like fried pickles, are a bit better than you might expect. Most of the fried items are done well, if not always perfectly. The bar offers a fair selection of tap beers, and the specialty cocktails are strong enough that drinking just one calls for a designated driver. Service can be a bit harried when there’s a crowd, but lunchtimes can be remarkably peaceful. Recommended: jalapeño poppers, bison burger, steamed mussels, baby back ribs, Dark-N-Stormy cocktail, and lemon mousse.
Ratings range from 0 to 4 chiles, including half chiles. This reflects the reviewer’s experience with regard to food and drink, atmosphere, service, and value.

PASATIEMPO I June 13-19, 2014
It’s Friday night, and two big games are airing on multiple screens hung around Junction, the Railyard sports bar and restaurant located off Guadalupe Street. On some screens, the Heat, destined to return to the NBA finals, are overwhelming the Pacers. On others, Chicago, down three games to two, is skating for its life against Los Angeles, a chance at the Stanley Cup hanging in the balance. No sports announcer can be heard. Instead, a recording of David Bowie singing “Let’s Dance” is playing in the background — the sound punctuated by the occasional clack of colliding billiard balls from the pool tables on the mezzanine. It doesn’t seem that anyone is paying attention to the sporting contests until Chicago scores a late goal and several patrons in the crowded room cheer. At our booth — I’m a Kings fan — we can barely hear our server ask if we’d like anything else. She’s something of an athlete herself, running from table to table, trying to keep people happy. Junction — with its team banners, emphasis on beer and cocktails, and a menu that lists nachos, wings, quesadillas, and other fan favorites — fits the sports bar criteria to a T. But the specials go beyond the usual sports-bar fare. How many places where fans gather to drink and cheer offer roasted duck, a beet and arugula salad, quinoa with squash and kale, and a caponata sandwich in addition to a bowl of steamed mussels, even if those mussels are steamed in beer? The mussels are delicious, by the way, a touch of roasted tomato giving flavor to the rich, slightly tart and salty broth. They made the Blackhawks go-ahead goal easier to swallow. Of course, the regular menu includes plenty of dishes you’d expect a sports bar to offer. Most are pretty decent, depending on how much attention the fry cook is paying. Zesty jalapeño poppers are fat with cream cheese, their light batter barely clinging to the shiny green pepper. Calamari fries, cut from steaks — no rings or tentacles — were a touch greasy even though they could have used a few seconds more in the oil. The aioli served alongside the squid was the hottest we have had in recent memory. The pollock in the fish and chips was nicely breaded and perfectly fried. The French fries are fat but undistinguished — ask for the onion rings instead. The baby back ribs were soft and succulent; they had no crispy edges and were fine enough that the ho-hum sauce didn’t keep us from enjoying them. In contrast to evenings and weekends, weekday lunches at Junction can be quiet affairs. They’re especially pleasant on the covered patio — away from the babble of ESPN. Fish tacos with that fried pollock (the fish is also available baked) and a pedestrian pico de gallo were just OK, as were the carne asada tacos. A bison burger with caramelized onion, green chile, and Cheddar-Jack cheese was extremely satisfying. But a Cuban sandwich, specially priced that day, was stingy with the meat, on a roll, and saved only by its pickle. Drinks here cater to all classes of sports fans. Draft beers range from all-American Pabst Blue Ribbon to the Belgian Stella Artois. A number of Santa Fe Brewery choices are
on tap, as is hard cider. Specialty cocktails shine. The mellow rye flavor of the Bulleit bourbon used in Junction’s Perfect Manhattan (perfect suggesting it’s made with a dash each of sweet and dry vermouth) gave that classic cocktail a satisfying smoothness. The Maestro margarita, at $12, seemed a bit dear for what was basically the kind of simple margarita, served in a modest tumbler, you’d get beachside in Rosarito. But then it does include Grand Marnier, and that tequila is Maestro Dobel, aged in Hungarian oak. I was partial to the Dark-N-Stormy, an invigorating mix of ginger beer and Gosling’s dark rum so strong it made me stutter. All the cocktails we had here were vigorously poured. After downing one, I didn’t really care which team won. That Friday night when the Blackhawks survived and the Heat made it clear they wouldn’t be denied another title shot was a noisy, bustling one. We could barely hear our server announce that all the dessert menus had disappeared. But we heard enough to order a delicate lemon mousse that was a sweet landing to a mostly high-flying fried meal. The Nutella shake? Well, that might have been a bad play call. Still, we’d come back for the food, depending on who makes the finals. ◀

and flower gardens. Organic Alaska Fish emulsion is a good all purpose fertilizer that will get your plants off to a strong start. Before the heat of summer sets in it is a good idea to make sure all of your plants are mulched well. It is not just trees and shrubs, but flowers and vegetables will also appreciate a good layer of mulch. Mulching will help save water by cutting down on how much is lost to evaporation. Mulching will also help keep the roots cool during hot weather and reduce the amount of weeds that grow. Soil builder works well in gardens because it helps feed the soil as it breaks down.
