PUBLISHER’S NOTE

The 2015 ShowHouse gala and auction benefited Dollars4Schools. Bella Media publisher Bruce Adams and gallery owner Karen Malouf (center) celebrate with a D4S representative.

DAVID ROBIN

AS THE WEATHER ROLLS into a new season, we see returning events that have fairly recently become part of our community’s culture. One of these is the Canyon Road Paint & Sculpt Out and Parade. both the event and the name recognition have grown since well-known local artist Roseta Santiago and I came up with the idea eight years ago. We, along with the Canyon Road community, have been delighted by the way this annual weekend has grown to involve local children; by how warmly it’s been accepted by the gallery community; and by the fact that it has gained countrywide recognition as yet another unique Santa Fe event— to the point where national art magazines celebrate it. For Santa Feans, of course, the fact that it happens at a time when the leaves are in full changing color only adds to the magic. The Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out is one of those rare opportunities where we can witness the creative processes involved in art. It’s an opportunity to speak with the artists directly, finding out what they’re focusing on, what they’re feeling, and what is inspiring them. In a town like this, where creativity abounds, I’m always intrigued to hear about individual inspiration, which usually reveals a unique passion. I suggest that you make the event part of your weekend, if nothing more than to enjoy a lovely stroll on a fall day in an absolutely beautiful setting. I will warn you that the inspired artwork, the children’s faces and the magic of Santa Fe will cast a spell on you that you can savor for the season.

Designers Buffy Kline, left, and Pam Duncan, of Wiseman & Gale & Duncan, addded rustic glamour to the ShowHouse dining room.

D4S volunteers, along with ShowHouse cofounder Jennifer Ashton (second from left) and cofounder David Naylor (not shown) raised funding for dozens of classrooms at the 2015 gala.

Based on a true story, Everest packs chills and an A-list cast.

buzz

killer mountain monster

new ski shuttle service

Everest is based on a true, tragic 1996 climbing expedition up the world’s highest mountain, when eight people died in an unexpected storm; but it’s extremely effective as an old-school horror flick. Think of the mountain as a monster, resting quietly, ominously, in Nepal. The climbers in the film (played by an A-list cast including Jake Gyllenhaal and Josh brolin) understand the endeavor they face, but perhaps lack the proper respect for it. They drink and dance in the nights before the deaths start, yucking it up like oblivious teens in a slasher flick. The climb begins in sunlight, with promise, the group excited. Eventually, they’re close to the top and dark clouds roll in fast, crackling with lightning, battering the climbers with stinging, icy snow. They begin to die, one at a time, in increasingly grisly ways. The top of Everest is almost 9,000 meters high—“the cruising altitude of a 747”—and humans aren’t meant to be there. Past a certain threshold, as the guide Rob Hall explains early in the film, “your bodies begin literally dying,” burning oxygen faster than breathing can replenish it. The effects are insidious. In these frigid temperatures, one of the climbers, whose oxygen-deprived brain convinces him he’s too hot, starts stripping off his jacket, slips, and plummets to certain death. He’s gone in an instant. A brave teacher, Doug Hansen, who just wants to prove to his students that anything’s possible, unhooks himself from safety cables and wobbles on useless legs along an ice ridge until he, too, falls. The mountain makes these men kill themselves, after it twists them into insanity. Even the ones who merely freeze to death are forced, first, to admit they’re done, and that they can’t move any farther. Not everyone died in the 1996 expedition, and we get some amazing gore effects as Everest takes the hands, feet, and face of the one survivor lucky enough to limp back to camp. While Everest is factually dubious and lacks exhilarating action, if you go for the scares instead of thrills or an education, you’ll walk away satisfied; but vowing never to attempt that crazy climb. —Phil Parker

The long, slow drive up to the ski basin is a trek of the past—at least for the next year—as residents and visitors now have the option to ride the new mountain trail bus service from the North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD). Service began on September 26, just in time for the fall foliage season, from downtown Santa Fe to the ski basin. Round-trip service is offered twice a day on weekdays and three times a day on weekends. Once ski season commences, three round trips are scheduled each weekday and seven on Saturdays and Sundays. The route starts at the South Capitol Rail Runner Station and has more than a dozen stops before landing

They told such funny stories.”—Emily Van Cleve Cowboy balladeer Don Edwards presents The Legend of Jack Thorp, October 18, 2 PM, $25, New Mexico History Museum, 113 Lincoln, nmhistorymuseum.org

“Jack” Thorp (N. Howard Thorp, 1867-1940) collected cowboy songs and poems across the West for nearly 20 years, starting in the late 1800s.

The colorful tale of late-19th-century/early 20th-century New Mexico cowboy Jack Thorp comes to life on October 18 at the New Mexico History Museum when Texas cowboy balladeer Don Edwards presents The Legend of Jack Thorp. born in 1867, Thorp collected several dozen cowboy songs (and wrote a few of his own) from 1889 to 1890 during a 1,500-mile horseback journey through Texas and New Mexico. These tunes were published in 1908 in the New Mexico town of Estancia, in a volume titled Songs of the Cowboys. Few original copies are in existence, but Edwards owns one of them. “The great-great-grandniece of Jack Thorp gave it to me years ago,” says Edwards. “A second version of the book was put together in 1921. It has 100 songs in it. That version has songs from other sources as well as ones he collected and wrote himself. I’ll be going back and forth between the two versions during my performance.” The New Mexico History Museum is the perfect venue for the show. It owns the Estancia press that published the 1908 book, and crafted its own version in

at the top of the mountain. In the fall, riders pay $5 to go up, and then get a free ride down. During ski season, fares are $5 each way, although passengers destined for the ski basin receive a token worth $5 at Ski Santa Fe. The new bus service is also a good way to visit Ten Thousand Waves, at $5 to go up, with a free return trip. “This service has been talked about for years,” says NCRTD public information officer Jim Nagle. “It’s taken $95,000 of public and private money to fund operations for our trial period, which is from September 26 through the end of August. We hope everything will be successful and continue.” buses are not equipped with restroom facilities but do have racks for skis and snowboards. bicycles are not permitted.

Eighth Annual Historic Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out the scent of paint and autumn leaves is in the air

ARTISTS FROM JUST SEVEN Canyon Road galleries were part of the first Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out in 2008. This year’s extravaganza—one of the nation’s largest annual artist demonstrations—features at least 60 galleries, and includes live demonstrations by

more than 200 painters, sculptors, jewelers, glass blowers, fiber artists, weavers, carvers, and potters. “Last year we added sculptors to the roster of painters,” explains bonnie French, president of the Canyon Road Merchants Association, which sponsors the event. “This year there are artists working in everything from metal and fiber to clay and glass. We also have invited Santa Fe artists without Canyon Road representation to paint with us. Canyon Road gallery artists will work outside near their galleries, and other Santa Fe artists can set up and work wherever they want along Canyon Road.” The fun begins on the evening of Friday, October 16, when boutiques, shops, restaurants, and galleries located along Canyon Road stay open late. The galleries will host exhibitions, interactive art experiences, and receptions where the public can meet and mingle with the artists. On Saturday morning, artists will hit the street, claiming their favorite spots and setting up with easels, tables, clay, blowtorches, and models. Entertainment begins at noon when a marching band parades down Canyon Road, and in the early afternoon student musicians from local schools will perform at a variety of locations. Expect to see belly dancers, riders on horseback, activities for kids, and live music throughout the stretch of this historic road. Hungry? There are plenty of culinary treats to enjoy at galleries and restaurants along the way. Eighth Annual Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out, October 16, from 5 PM and October 17, from 10 AM, free, Canyon Road, visitcanyonroad.com

COURTESY OF THE CANYON ROAD MERCHANT ASSOCIATION

The Paint Out & Sculpt Out is always a lively social scene, with locals, visitors, and artists swapping stories and making new friends.

so I’ll be playing some new songs as well as songs from previous albums.” Jennings has recorded 11 albums since 1998, including his most recent Always Been (November 2013), which is touted on his website as the “most radiant and refined effort of his career.” Recorded after Jennings spent a winter writing songs in his Minnesota cabin, Always Been features “Wilderness,” a song about “facing things we’d rather not in hopes of moving forward,” Jennings told Rolling Stone magazine. “It is not an easy task, alone out there in our inner wilderness, trying to find our way home.” If “Wilderness” is best described as honest and unassuming, Jennings’s forthcoming album (likely out this winter) sounds like it might be quite the opposite. “It’s very electric and bombastic,” Jennings says. “I’m very excited about it.” In a recent Instagram post, Jennings hinted at some details. “One of my sons excitedly told me [that the album] has the quality of someone pull-starting a chainsaw. Couldn’t refute that description. Chainsaw of the heart maybe.” Does that mean I should bring earplugs or tissues to the show?

THE FIRST TIME I HEARD singer/songwriter/multiinstrumentalist Mason Jennings was on a friend’s mix CD back in 2009. With lyrics like songbird’s singing in an old dead tree; the way you drive honey scares the hell out of me, a hundred miles an hour on a brand new road, look at me again, you’ll make my heart explode, “Fighter Girl” was a tribute to independent women, a nod to perseverance during hard times, and a catchy song that quite frankly reminded me of myself (I would later discover that such relatable lyrics are the soul of Jennings’s music— people find themselves in his poetic words and lose themselves in his catchy melodies). I was hooked. I acquired several of Jennings’s albums and bought tickets to see him live when he came through my then-hometown of Columbia, Missouri. but Jennings—a Midwesterner himself—hasn’t been so easy to see in concert since I’ve been in Santa Fe, which is why his October 21 show at Skylight is kind of a big deal. Turns out, it’s kind of a big deal for Jennings, too. “I really like Sante Fe, but I haven’t been there for probably seven years,” he says. “I love the light and the air.” The stop is one of a couple dozen stops on Jennings’s current tour. “It will be a solo intimate show,” he says. “I just finished a new record

Osteria d’Assisi Ristorante Italiano Italian Spritz Called the most popular aperitif in Italy according to Aperol’s site, the wildly popular Italian Spritz is not only refreshing and hip to drink, it’s lovely to look at. The Italian Spritz seen here at Osteria d’Assisi Ristorante Italiano is a simple mix of Prosecco wine, Aperol bitter liqueur, and a spritz of soda water poured over ice cubes. Garnished with a twist of orange rind, the sparkly reddish orange beverage is regaining the popularity it had in Italy in the 1950s, thanks to a 2013 marketing campaign by the Campari Group, who owns Aperol. Invented in 1919 in Padova, Italy, Aperol boasts a proprietary recipe with ﬂavors of oranges, rhubarb, and gentian root. Appropriate for drinking any time of day in Italy, the Italian Spritz is a lovely way to whet your appetite for any ﬁne dining experience at Osteria d’Assisi.—Cristina Olds Osteria D’Assisi Ristorante Italiano, 58 South Federal, osteriadassisi.com October 15, 2015 NOW 17

Lange Marshall’s impressionistic autumn still-life paintings, inspired by the abundance of seasonal fruits and vegetables and their rich shapes and color combinations, are included in the featured works in this seven-person group show. “I look forward to fall harvest because of the abundance of colorful objects to paint,” says Marshall. “The shapes and color combinations of fruit and vegetables are endless.” Additional artists include Laurin McCracken, Timothy Horn, Joseph breza, Caroline Carpio, bernard Franz, and Michael DeVore. Also fascinated with seasonal color changes, DeVore says, “I find this time of year particularly complements my use of reds, yellows, oranges, and browns. Oil color pigments come from the earth, so there’s a natural relationship between nature and art, which I love to explore.” His newest pieces will be on display during the group show.—Carolyn Patten Harvest: A Group Show, Greenberg Fine Art, 205 Canyon through October 29, greenbergfineart.com, reception October 16, 5–7 PM

by Anne Maclachla n Established in the fall of 2013, the educational series Art Matters goes beyond the appreciation of art in general and its importance to Santa Fe’s tourism, economic, and aesthetic existence. The next seasonal program, sponsored by the Santa Fe Gallery Association and operating under the leadership of David Eichholtz of David Richard Gallery, will take place in more than two dozen galleries around the City Different from October 16 to October 25. The galleries will host events that delve into the historical and cultural matters of art, with lectures and discussions that allow unique interaction among gallery owners, visitors, and the artists themselves.

An enthusiastic outdoorsman, Griffith is known for expressing diverse arid and aquatic surroundings in the hope that the viewer will join him in sensing the peaceful brilliance of nature. In Passages, Griffith presents a set of quirky optical challenges that encourage both reflection and the spiritual awareness that not all boundaries are set by exterior elements.—AM

Re-Op: The Responsive Eye Fifty Years After, David Richard Gallery 544 South Guadalupe, davidrichardgallery.com, October 2–November 21 Spearheading the Art Matters lineup, David Richard Gallery reexamines William C . Seitz’s optical art movement from the mid-1960s and its metamorphosis over the last 50 years. Newer artists experimenting with industrial textures like the reflective aluminum sign material in Jack Slentz’s Blue Tube, the digital projection blend in Matthew Kluber’s No Place Like Utopia, and the wildly colorful cast acrylic in Float for Gilberto Perez by Christian Haub create a new perspective, so to speak, on the op-art experience. The show includes pieces created within the past 30 years by several artists from the original Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Op-Art exhibit. —AM 22

STEPHEN LANG

by Amy Gro s s MARTIN SPEI ISN’T ONE to wax sentimental about his hometown of Detroit, but the fact that he hails from “a town that makes things” is certainly not lost on the sculptor, whose own hands create figures in bronze, steel, cast iron, and a host of nontraditional media. And he has to credit the Detroit Institute of Arts with kickstarting, at an early age, his lifelong fascination with art; a Diego Rivera mural at the museum blew his mind, though perhaps not as much as the realization, some 30 years later, that his own figures have much in common with Rivera’s WPA-era characters. “Rivera’s characters had those thick arms and fingers and hands, and there was something solid about them,” says Spei, whose own figures tend to be broadshouldered and heavy-set, suited (but barefoot), and bald—“like the 1970s big-time wrestlers. These are guys who could pick something up, and throw each other around.” Hunched determinedly forward, each figure appears to have a purpose. Some smile blithely or grin; others frown or seem to be lost in thought. “Most of my pieces are about doing tasks—the tasks we do in life,” Spei says. Hence the suits. “Suits are kind of like the modern apron; if you’re wearing a suit, you’re going to a job, a funeral, or a wedding.” As for the lack of hair and shoes, “Hair is a fashion statement,” he explains. “My characters need to be bald so you’re not distracted by the hair. And shoes bring in a certain socioeconomic reality that I don’t want to make a part of the piece. Should they be wingtips, loafers, tennis shoes?” Spei taught himself the classical way of modeling clay, making a mold, and casting. but his process can go in any direction. “I work in a lot of different materials, and I’m excited by different materials—resins, rubber, aluminum, bronze, steel, cast iron,” he says. “I get an idea, and then I find a material that suits it.” He’s currently experimenting with casting figures in resin and using a material called Aerblock (a green building material) for his bases. Spei, whose work is represented by blue Rain Gallery, creates in his southside Santa Fe studio where, with caffeinated assistance from a classic 1979 La Pavoni espresso machine, he is able to indulge his artistic whims: “I have the luxury of going back and forth between different pieces and different realities.”

STUDIO

Jane Filer

Jane Filer says her home studio holds easels and art supplies for anyone who wishes to stop by and create something.

transcending time, space, and imagination Viewing the work of Jane Filer is more than simply taking a trip into a fabulous land; it’s a metaphysical, philosophical, and cultural journey. Filer is passionate about the nonlinear and the unseen; about string theory, simultaneous multidimensional existence, and quantum physics; and all of these are revealed in her work. “Imagination is a major ingredient,” she says, noting that the ancient cultures valued an education in the arts as much as they respected the sciences. Each of her paintings starts out as an abstract, full of color, pattern, composition, and texture. From there, “I look into it, just like you look into a cloud and see something there.” Filer then discovers what she terms “algebraic equations.... where something else could happen; and I just follow the equation.” When she creates a piece, she first constructs, then deconstructs it, “which fragments reality, taking pieces of what happened before, adding what now transpires … .” Reflecting aspects of Australian Aboriginal space and time concepts—acquired during two years of Filer’s childhood in West Australia—her paintings draw the viewer into simultaneously existing, fantastical realms and new perspectives.—Anne Maclachlan “It’s finished when I love every square inch. It’s finished when it makes sense. Not in a literal way; not in a narrative way; but in a poetic way.”—Jane Filer

Re+Invention, City of Mud 1114A Hickox, cityofmud.com, reception October 16, 5–8 pm, through December 15 Featuring over a half-dozen artists, including Jamie Chase, Sandy brown, brett Chomer, Paul Shapiro, and Gina Telcocci, Re+Invention will be the first exhibition hosted by City of Mud, a new collaborative art space west of the Railyard. “Our fall show is . . . just a touch dark and decadent, and showcases abstraction in both two and three dimensions,” says featured artist and Curator Sasha Pyle. “The show is called Re+Invention because we reinvented the building, ourselves, and how art can be displayed.” The space aims to create a unique atmosphere: alongside art created with various traditional media, it will showcase vintage found objects from industrial curiosities to home décor. The name “City of Mud” can be read to suggest the impermanent nature of created works and their creators, or to note Santa Fe’s “kinship with other parts of the world that are blessed with indigenous architecture and design, where buildings are created out of the earth.“—Dylan Syverson

The shows, featuring a mostly unchanging crew of exhibitors, have cropped up sporadically at Art Exchange for nearly a decade. In this edition, all are painters except Griffith, who has made a forty-plus-year career in Santa Fe crafting vivid, often comical sculptures from wood and mixed media. The five others represent distinct approaches to painting, from the vast color swaths of Crouch and Tabor, to Seredowych’s careful still lifes, to Tashjian’s and Mahon’s detailheavy yet stylized landscapes.—DS October 15, 2015 NOW 25

Block Printing without a Press: Use Your Feet! Teresa Neptune Studio/Gallery, 728 Canyon October 16, 2–6 pm The art of woodcut has evolved severally within multiple cultures across the globe, and established methods for transferring images to paper range from pounding with a hammer, to rubbing with leather pads, to using a mechanical press. Printmaker Linda Hunsaker will demonstrate a tool-free traditional technique, attributed to ancient India, in which the artist inks the (in this contemporary case, linoleum) block before placing it face down on paper and standing on it, using his or her own feet and body weight to create the print. The demonstration will close out Hunsaker’s and photographer Teresa Neptune’s “A Closer Look” exhibition, featuring depictions of shared travel memories in starkly disparate media; and also coincides with the 8th Annual Historic Canyon Road Paint & Sculpt Out.—DS

Robert Wolf: In Search of America

Robert Wolf spent his formative youth bouncing around New Mexico, both as a student at St. John’s College and as a student of life on the bohemian streets of Santa Fe in the mid-1960s. A writer, publisher, and radio producer now based in Iowa, Wolf recently published his first memoir. He is currently working on a sequel to In Search of America, and will sign books on October 16 at Matthews Gallery as part of the Fall of Modernism exhibition series. NOW: Your first visit to New Mexico was in Duran in 1963—why did you stop there? Robert Wolf: I had gotten a ride in Indiana from an aggressive young guy who kept a pistol in his glove compartment and claimed to be a journalist. He was headed for Las Vegas, Nevada, and I was headed for San Francisco. . . .The first town we hit was Duran, a village of adobe and wood houses that looked like it was out of the 1880s. . . . Who are some of the notable characters you mention in the book? Harold “Hal” West (1902-1962), who had a big influence on me, was a Western artist who lived on Canyon Road. Almost across the street from Hal’s studio was James “Jim” Stovall Morris’s home and studio. Tommy Macaione is in the book, too—a terrific character and prolific painter. Eli Levin was— and still is—a friend. So is Jerry West, Hal’s son. The Matthews Gallery is hoping to have paintings by all of them for the show. How is this memoir different from your other writings? Many sections of In Search of America were based on drafts written shortly after the events occurred. The prose is stylistically different from anything I’ve written before. It’s a lot sparser. I wanted something that would invite the reader’s imagination.

santafeanNOW.com

What was it about Santa Fe during the 1960s that affected you so intensely? I grew up in a very affluent Connecticut town during the fifties and early sixties, a time of great conformity. . . . I despised that kind of life. I wanted adventure, not security. Santa Fe, with all of its artists and eccentrics, plus its Indians and Hispanics, was a wonderful gift that came three years after Duran. A young person—especially someone who hoped to become a writer—couldn’t have asked for a better place to experience the range of humanity. How does your memoir fit into the Fall of Modernism series? The final version of In Search of America was deeply influenced by the pioneer modernist American writers Gertrude Stein, Sherwood Anderson, and Ernest Hemingway. Do you still paint? I spend about half my time painting, mostly Midwest and New Mexico landscapes. I sell through several Midwest galleries and I’ll have two oil pastels at the show.—Cristina Olds New Mexico Wild: Typewriter Tales of a Santa Fe Bohemian, book signing with author Robert Wolf, 5–7 pm, October 16, Matthews Gallery, 669 Canyon, thematthewsgallery.com
