RECENTLY, ON A QUICK TRIP to Sedona, I took a peek at the city’s local events calendar and found only a few interesting things listed. By contrast, SantaFeanCalendar.com is chock-full of interesting events. We may sometimes think of Santa Fe as a sleepy little town, but compared to other small cities, we’re leaps ahead in terms of our cultural offerings and other fun or unusual events. This weekend, one such event is the Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown at the Farmers Market Pavilion in the Railyard. Last year the event sold out, and for very good reasons. Many of us consider ourselves green chile cheeseburger experts, sensitive to every nuance employed by local purveyors. The Smackdown is your chance to dig in and dish it out with your fellow chile addicts. And yes, you can sample all the burgers and vote for your favorite. The coolest part of all this is that something like the Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown is just one of the many things going on here this weekend. Gallery openings, music concerts, cheeseburgers—Sedona, eat your heart out.

AHA Festival of Progressive Arts
BRANDON JOHNSON
The AHA Festival of Progressive Arts presents emerging and alternative arts to Santa Fe audiences. Dedicated to celebrating a range of disciplines and featuring works that both push boundaries and redefine genres, the festival includes musical acts, art installations, gallery-style booths, interactive events, and more. “Participants get exposed to new audiences and make new connections, but we think the real value of the festival is to give people something local to aspire to instead of them [having to] move to New York City or Los Angeles,” says festival director Shannon Murphy. “More than 75 percent of our artists are local,” she adds. With applications coming in from around the world, and with the festival entering its fourth year, “We’ve been really thrilled with the response,” Murphy says. “People consistently say they had no idea that there were so many talented young artists, and in fact young people, in Santa Fe. But we’re not just about young people— we’re trying to unite different generations around art and music that’s non-traditional and progressive.” The festival is being held from 7 pm to 2 am on September 13 at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe and from 1 pm to 10 pm on September 14 on Santa Fe’s Railyard Plaza.—Cristina Olds

Santa Fe Fashion Week Clothing for women and men of all shapes and sizes is on display at the third annual Santa Fe Fashion Week, which takes place September 18–20 on Canyon Road and at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. “We’ve invited designers to participate who are from the Southwest and West Coast and who are in line with our idea of sustainable fashion,” says the event’s assistant executive producer, Amanda Caserta. “They’re people who make greener choices with their materials. If they use fur, for example, they use fur from animals that are an important source of food for a community rather than animals raised exclusively for their fur.” Although the event’s industry-only kick-off party in Albuquerque on September 17 is closed to the public, everyone is welcome to enjoy the free SFFW Shop n Stroll event on Canyon Road from 5 to 7 pm on Thursday, September 18. Twenty-two of the 30 participating designers—including Robin Ross, the evening-wear designer for the television show Dancing with the Stars; Santa Fe designer Orlando Dugi of DUGI fashions; L.A. designer Aaron Fust, CEO of Syrup Swimwear; and Ezra Estes, head of the fashion design program at Santa Fe Community College and owner of the line Seams Unusual—display and sell casual attire and unique evening outfits at GF Contemporary, Giacobbe-Fritz Fine Art, Winterowd Fine Art, and Ronnie Layden Fine Art. An opportunity to see and purchase pieces from all the designers takes place at the free Santa Fe Fashion Market, held from noon to 4 pm on Friday, September 19, and Saturday, September 20, at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. A ticketed runway show at 7 pm on both nights is hosted by Arizona boutique owner and designer Allie Olson and features accessories by local designers. Wedding lingerie and gowns are part of the runway show, which includes performances by the Albuquerque–based contemporary dance company Sparrow Dance Productions.—Emily Van Cleve Santa Fe Fashion Week, September 18, Shop n Stroll on Canyon Road, free, 5–7 pm; September 19–20, Santa Fe Fashion Market, free, 12–4 pm; September 19–20, Runway Show, $25 general admission, $100 VIP tickets with priority seating and hors d’oeuvres, 7 pm, santafefashionweek.com

VOLTAGE PICTURES
Qohen Leth abhors his job. At the Mancorp offices, the programmer (played by Christoph Waltz) pedals away on a stationary bike while crunching entities (data far more complex than mere numbers). His boss doesn’t know his name yet won’t leave him alone. His requests to work from home are denied without explanation. Then he’s given a special assignment: Prove zero equals 100 percent. “Management” at Mancorp is a person, played by Matt Damon, whose suit changes to match the background. Management has a financial stake in zero equaling 100 percent: If zero Mélanie Thierry in The Zero equals 100 percent, then the universe is all for nothing Theorem and faith is time wasted. The Zero Theorem is the crazy new science-fiction acid dream from director Terry Gilliam (Brazil, 12 Monkeys). It has bleak notions about humanity, and that bleakness is expressed not with drab grays but with wild neons and omnipresent noises like stretching rubber, crunches, dings, clicks, and beeps. Watching this movie is like going inside a pinball machine. No wonder Qohen hates being outside: Ads project on every wall that surrounds him, pestering every step. Poor Qohen is sick and possibly dying, but doctors
say he’s fine because Management wants him at work. He’s intensely awkward, speaking about himself in the plural first person. “We fear parties.” “Our diet dictates against food with perceptible flavor.” Christoph Waltz just won two Oscars in three years (for Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained) so we know he’s a great actor. But still . . . wow is Waltz a great actor. He’s amazing as Qohen, infusing this sad weirdo—who represents everyone who is stepped on by a selfish boss—with soul and humanity. Qohen falls in love with a prostitute he connects with via “memory chips and fiber optics” in a body suit. Things go awry when the two contemplate running away together. Their world is frightening and merciless. Everyone’s under surveillance, and ads are ubiquitous. If zero equals 100 percent, love is worse than doomed. It’s nothing. The Zero Theorem is playing at CCA.—Phil Parker September 11, 2014 NOW

Fe Santa Fe Symphony the orchestra’s 31st season features show-stopping works and exciting guest artists by As hle y M . Big ge rs
AS THE SANTA FE SYMPHONY celebrates its 31st season of performances, it’s tuning into a repertoire of burnished audience favorites and those that are soon to be. On September 14, the season opens with a concert (dubbed Showcase of the Stars) featuring two distinguished soloists: Clancy Newman on cello and Mark Kaplan on violin. Regarded as a leading violinist of his generation, Kaplan has played solo engagements with nearly every major American orchestra, including the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics. In Santa Fe, he’ll ply his artistry on Monti’s Csárdás and team with Newman for Brahms’s Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. Newman, the 2001 first-prize winner of the Walter W. Naumburg International Competition, is set to play Popper’s Hungarian Rhapsody. This concert segues into an autumnal performance, on October 19, featuring Jason Vieaux playing Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, one of the most famous classical guitar pieces ever written. The concert will also include a performance of Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, a significant Mexican contemporary classical work rooted in the Cuban dance style of danzón and the folklore of Veracruz, Mexico. “Márquez is very rhythmical and accessible,” says the symphony’s founder and general director, Gregory W. Heltman, of the living Mexican composer. November brings the symphony’s performance of Handel’s Messiah, a musical rite of the Santa Fe holiday season, and on January 18

Pianist Sean Chen performs on March 15, 2015, as part of the Santa Fe Symphony’s Beethoven festival.
the orchestra rings in 2015 with Mahler’s Symphony No. 1. Although it’s played better-known works by the composer, Heltman says the orchestra wanted to continue “exploring the great symphonic output with Mahler.” Of this composition, which is sometimes called “Titan,” Heltman says that “it’s so inspiring and fun to perform. You walk out of there feeling like Superman.” On March 15, Sean Chen—winner of the American Pianists Association’s 2013 Christel DeHaan Classical Fellowship and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Crystal Award—makes his first appearance in Santa Fe at the symphony’s Beethoven festival. On May 16 and 17, the orchestra performs its final program, which includes Verdi’s Requiem featuring baritone Lester Lynch, tenor Issachah Savage, soprano Alexendra Loutsion, and Christine Brewer singing mezzo-soprano. With former music director Steven Smith’s position still open, the symphony will audition a different candidate at each of this season’s performances. Kevin Rhodes, who currently conducts the Springfield (Massachusetts)Symphony Orchestra, will guest conduct the season opener. Also set to guest conduct this season are Michael Butterman, music director of the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra; Sarah Hicks, principal conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra’s Live at Orchestra Hall; James Feddeck, former assistant conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra; Gary Thor Wedow, renowned for conducting opera; Jason Altieri, associate conductor of the Reno Philharmonic and principal guest conductor of the Atlanta Pops Orchestra; and Guillermo Figueroa, music director of the Lynn Philharmonia and former music director of the New Mexico Symphony.

FUSE.SW, Santa Fe’s only annual food conference, explores the history of New Mexico’s multicultural influences.
cultural fusion the annual Southwestern food conference FUSE.SW celebrates New Mexico’s rich culinary history
LUTZ STERNSTEIN
by Ashle y M. Big g e r s
THAT FOOD IS LIFE is never truer than it is in New Mexico, where it provides both nutritional and cultural sustenance. Santa Fe’s only annual food conference, FUSE.SW, explores the history of the state’s multicultural influences and touts this flavor melting pot to a global audience. In its inaugural year, the conference was a way for participants to literally taste the heritage honored in New World Cuisine: The Histories of Chocolate, Mate y Más, a Museum of International Folk Art exhibit that closed in December 2013. In 2014, the festival (September 12–14) delves into Native American food traditions with keynote presentations by celebrated local Native American chef Lois Ellen
Frank and Betty Fussell, a contemporary of both Julia Child and James Beard and the author of (most recently) Raising Steaks: The Life and Times of American Beef. The recipe for the conference emerged from successful Southern Foodways Alliance symposia celebrating the cuisine of the American South. However, FUSE.SW’s organizers, which include founder Steve Cantrell (public relations manager for the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs) and leading food authors Cheryl Jamison and Deborah Madison, have made the event’s ingredients uniquely New Mexican. Amid the panel presentations and TED Talk-esque 12-minutelong presentations by chefs, authors, and archeologists, the conference also includes art breaks, during which local poets, like Navajo Poet Laureate Luci Tapahonso, and storytellers will recite stanzas relating to food culture and memory. Attendees may create new food remembrances at the Grandmother’s Lunch on Friday, September 12, during which local Hispanic and Native American grandmothers will serve their traditional recipes, and at a concluding buffalo roast held that evening. Meals, snacks, and tastings are included in the ticket price. Tickets aren’t necessary for the free Sunday MarketPlace, which will feature chef demos, including horno baking, and samples of prepared foods. Food trucks such as Albuquerque’s Irrational Pie will also be on hand.
FUZE.SW 2014, September 12–14, Museum of International Folk Art and Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, fuzesw.museumofnewmexico.org, Museum of New Mexico members $200, nonmembers $250 September 11, 2014 NOW

Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys
acclaimed Louisiana musicians bring their Cajun sounds to The Lensic by Emi ly Va n Cle ve
CAJUN ACCORDION PLAYER and vocalist Steve Riley calls his band’s September 13 performance at The Lensic “a musical journey from the beginning of Cajun music to now.” “Cajun music has a rich heritage,” he says, referring to the popular musical style’s roots, which trace back to ballads that Frenchspeaking Acadians from Canada brought to Louisiana in the late 18th century. “We tell a lot of stories about its history during our concerts,” he adds. Besides performing traditional Cajun ballads and dance tunes, Riley and his band the Mamou Playboys—composed of Sam Broussard (guitar/vocals), Kevin Wimmer (fiddle/vocals), Kevin Dugas (drums), and Brazos Huval (bass)—play original tunes written by Riley, Broussard, and Wimmer. “The old tunes were written in French, and most of the new stuff is also in French,” Riley notes. The Cajun accordion, an instrument Riley describes as a harmonica with bellows, is at the center of the band’s music. Most of these accordions are simpler in design than the type used in other styles of music and are made by craftsmen in their home shops. Riley often uses five Cajun accordions set up in different keys during his shows. Formed in Mamou, Louisiana, in 1988, Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys have recorded 13 albums and earned Grammy nominations for four of them: Trace of Time (1993), Bon Reve (2004), Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (2009), and Grand Isle (2011). For more information on the “Cajun music has a rich heritage,” says band and its touring schedule, visit mamouplayboys.com. Steve Riley. “We tell a lot of stories

about its history during our concerts.”

Fire & Hops
DOUGLAS MERRIAM
Joel Coleman, chef and co-owner of the new gastropub Fire & Hops, says the decadent small-plate dish seen here featuring beer-braised Berkshire pork belly on sliced rice cakes with sweet and sour sauce has something for every taste bud. “The tomato-based sauce has a little acidity, a little spice, and a little sweetness,” he says. “Pork belly can be kind of fat, so we wanted something to cut that richness,” he adds. The pork is seared lightly and then braised in a mixture of beer, stock, soy sauce, onion, celery, carrots, peppercorn, and various aromatics for about four hours. The pea sprouts on top are locally sourced from “the sprout lady,” and in some versions of the dish, pickled mustard seeds are used instead. Although he notes that Santa Fe is home, Coleman grew up in Hawaii, where, he says, “every household has a pot of rice cooking, and it’s usually eaten with some kind of pork.” The rice cakes in this dish are similar to mochi, a Japanese rice cake in which rice is pounded into a paste, dried, rehydrated, and then crisped in a pan with a little salt.—Cristina Olds Fire & Hops, 222 N Guadalupe, fireandhopsgastropub.com

As one of the largest art markets in the country, Santa Fe is always hosting openings at galleries and museums around town. Santa Fean NOW was recently out and about at a number of opening-night receptions, and here’s just a sampling of the fun people we hung out with.
In its show Monotypes and More (September 17–October 7, reception September 19, 5–7 pm , 200 Canyon, pippincontemporary.com), Pippin Contemporary unveils paintings and monotypes by artists representing a range of artistic experience, all of whom produced work at Santa Fe Timberwick Studios: Diane Rolnick, Aleta Pippin, Michael Coop, and Timberwick owner Ron Pokrasso (who in 1987 created the annual printmaking fundraiser Monothon). On September 20, from 11 am to 3 pm , visitors are invited to pull their own monotype at the gallery.—Eve Tolpa

Wendy Higgins’s annual solo exhibition opens at Greenberg Fine Art
“THE BEAUTY OF A NECTARINE can blow me away,” says painter Wendy Higgins of her intricate appreciation of botanicals—subjects that appear in her illuminated still lifes. Although the Old Masters favored the technique that captures everyday scenes, few likely had Higgins’s blend of artistic and hands-on training. The Eldorado resident earned a bachelor’s of art degree, but, she notes, with few real-world skills, she turned to landscaping and gardening, in which she had a 20-year career. “Both [painting and gardening] are aspects of my nature,” she says. “I’m a very somatic being. I enjoy working physically with the flowers and beauty of growing. When I’m painting, I’m focused on physical beauty, harmony, and texture.” An encounter with the glowing compositions of fellow painter Cary Ellis reignited Higgins’s passion for art. Following a mentorship with Ellis, Higgins parlayed her talents into a full-time art career and has held a one-woman show at a Canyon Road gallery annually since 2001. This year’s exhibition, Captured by the Light, opens at Greenberg Fine Art on Friday, September 12. The 18 pieces in the show display Higgins’s customary tightly realistic style. However, the artist says that she aims “to bring a more painterly style to that tightness, where some [images] begin to breathe more.” Some of the subjects “come to [me] in the quiet of the morning, where I see the whole concept or idea,” she notes. “Some come to me when I bring home a treasure from the farmers market and put it in the light of my 22

studio. . . . Sometimes they tease themselves out of me.” The latter happened with one of the show’s standout compositions: an untitled vertical 30-inch-by-15-inch scene with a black-on-black pueblo pot sitting on a slab of red rock with figs and a juniper branch laced with dusty-blue berries. Still in tune with her natural surroundings, Higgins paints flora at the height of the season, capturing and celebrating its head-turning natural beauty.

Elizabeth Hahn
PROFILE
the former gallerist holds a mini-retrospective of her paintings at Crazy Fox by Em ily Va n C le ve
WHEN PAINTER ELIZABETH HAHN was a young girl in Louisiana, she started having the same dream every night. It began with the sounds of an orchestra tuning up outside her bedroom door. The sounds took on visual forms—often flowers with musical notes that appeared in a surrounding fog. “The chaotic whirlwind would grow larger, causing me to wake up and leaving a lasting memory and influence in my later work,” says Hahn, who co-owned Santa Fe’s Hahn Ross Gallery for 20 years and now paints full-time. A mini-retrospective of Hahn’s vibrant and intriguing acrylic paintings from as early as 1983 and as recent as six months ago opens on Friday, September 12, at Crazy Fox, a mom and pop shop just off the Plaza. A common thread among the paintings is that they all come from Hahn’s dreams or real-life experiences. Magic Bagel, a 2008 work featured in the show, centers on a woman’s feet and on her pet rabbit. In this case, the rabbit is Hahn’s own beloved pet, Bagel. “I found him in the South Capitol area,” Hahn says. “Neighbors had seen him around but said he didn’t belong to anyone so I took him home. The cartoons on the woman’s shoes are of an imaginary history of Bagel’s life.” Shoes frequently appear in Hahn’s paintings. The reason, the artist says, is because she’s inherently shy and used to spend a lot of time looking down at the ground, thereby noticing shoes and patterns on floors. (Years ago Hahn collected shoes from the 1940s and wore them until they fell apart.) One of the earlier works in Hahn’s show is Balancing Act, which shows a chinchilla standing on a red bowling ball. “I found this ball in a Goodwill store in Sedona,” Hahn says. “It had the name Irma engraved on it. In Balancing Act, my [real-life] pet chinchilla is balancing on Irma, which is where I found him one day when I started chasing him around my basement.” Elizabeth Hahn at Crazy Fox, September 12—ongoing, reception September 12, 5–7 pm, 227 Don Gaspar, elizabethhahnart.com

Red Tussar Silk Namesake Mantra Tunic, $64
PATTI BOSE
IF YOU ARE WHAT you wear, then an individual who wears Mantra Bazaar tunics and kaftans is well traveled, effortlessly chic, and community-minded with an eye to spiritual awareness. Perhaps these qualities seem overstated for a simple shirt, but they’re true to the vision of the clothing line’s creators, Betsy Ronel and Shibana Singh. Besides, these are hardly simple shirts: They have a high-fashion bohemian ease that’s as wearable in Santa Fe as in New York City or along the Amalfi Coast, but they also touch a deeper thread. Ronel and Singh design the men’s and women’s tops and scarves in Santa Fe, and members of Singh’s family tailor-handcraft each design in India. Every piece or its trim is made of the high-end, fair-trade fabric that was used to make the item that inspired the clothing line—a tunic Singh designed herself with the Sanskrit mantra so hum (“I am that”) inked in the cloth. In addition to the mantra woven into each item, the designers add a secondary saying to each tag, inviting the wearer to meditate on one of 108 centering thoughts. For example, a chartreuse tunic with orange, coral, and royal blue beading might call for the chant om namah shivaya (“I salute my consciousness.”). “We hope this mantra will infuse [our customers’] lives not only while wearing the Mantra shirt but also in giving them whatever is needed throughout their week,” Singh says. This lifestyle bazaar is a natural fit for Ronel and Singh, given Ronel’s background in the fashion industry (she worked in public relations for Giorgio Armani, Barney’s New York, and Emilio Pucci) and Singh’s experience as a yoga instructor and Ayurvedic practitioner. Ronel and Singh launched Mantra Bazaar (which donates 15 percent of its proceeds to the Esperanza Shelter for Battered Families) with a trunk show in November 2013, and the items are now available locally at Flying Fish Studio, Gallery, and Shop; Maya Santa Fe; Spirit of the Earth; and StudioNia Santa Fe. Soon they will also be available at the Museum of International Folk Art on Museum Hill. All of Mantra’s eight styles of items—which feature various color and trim combinations—are available online and currently half off, as the company prepares to showcase new designs. Ronel and Singh anticipate holding a trunk show featuring their new designs in November. For more information, visit mantrabazaar.com.—Ashley M. Biggers

mushroom foraging
style
finding your favorite fungi in the forests of Santa Fe
WITH ALL THE GLORIOUS rainfall of late, native mushrooms of all kinds are popping out of the forest floor. Santa Fe Culinary Academy cofounder and executive chef Rocky Durham is a proponent of sourcing fresh local foods, and as such he’s been foraging for mushrooms for years. Here, he talks about where and how he finds his favorite fungi and what you need to know before taking on the challenge yourself.
MARSHALL ELIAS
What’s your background with mushrooming? I started foraging for mushrooms about 10 years ago. I learned from friends who were chefs here in Santa Fe. On days when we got a great haul, we would knock on the back door of local restaurants and sell them to our chef friends. What are some varieties of mushrooms you can find locally? In the Sangre de Cristos, you can find porcini, hawk’s wing, chanterelle, morels, and edible puffballs, to name just a few.

Why is the climate here so favorable to such a variety of mushrooms? Our Rocky Mountain backyard is a perfect spot for finding edible mushrooms, and the climate is equally important. Wait for some summer monsoons to get the ground nice and wet several inches down, and then, after a spark of warm or hot weather, get to the mountain before first light. That will help ensure that the mushrooms are free from any insect infestations.
This 3,035-square-foot home is close to El Gancho Fitness, Swim, and Racquet Club and is just a short drive from downtown Santa Fe. The light-filled living room has a soaring ceiling and two-story windows that offer views of the mountains in the distance. The kitchen, which features cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and new appliances, recently underwent upgrades and renovations. The master bedroom and bath have bamboo and slate floors, contemporary tile, and new fixtures. Set up for relaxed outdoor living, the property has several patios and decks with views of many mature trees and perennial plants and two recirculating ponds with vegetation around them. Water gently trickles from one pond to the other. GABRIELLA MARKS

“Mushroom identification is not something to toy with,” says chef Rocky Durham. “Educate yourself and be absolutely certain of what you’ve picked.”
Where do you usually find your mushrooms? We have secret spots that we sneak into under the cover of darkness, but there are plenty of easy-to-get-to (and over-picked) areas right in the ski basin parking lot. What are your favorite mushrooms and why? My favorite has to be the chanterelle, but don’t confuse it with the similarin-appearance death cap [which is toxic]. Mushroom identification is not something to toy with—[educate yourself and] be absolutely certain of what you’ve picked. —Cristina Olds September 11, 2014 NOW

Fiesta–goers love their parades, and this one is a long-standing, family-friendly crowd pleaser. The Desfile de los Niños has been a favorite Santa Fe Fiesta event since the early 1920s, and although its literal translation is “children’s parade,” it’s always included the kids’ furry and feathered friends. Horses, dogs, goats, frogs, snakes, chickens, rabbits, turtles, hamsters, one super mellow cat, and more than 2,000 kids in costumes of every kind filled the streets around the Plaza on September 6. Bernadette Anton-Williams considers the Pet Parade “second only to Zozobra” for Fiesta fun, and she’s attended since she was a child growing up in Santa Fe. This year, four generations of her extended family joined the float themed “Game of Zo.” “The shy kids get braver in costume,” she says, remembering two cousins dressed as little black dragons who were roaring at the crowd. Her group of 20 adults, 10 kids, and three dogs (“We made armor for the dogs—they were soldiers.”) won the Most Original honors. “It’s kind of a fall ritual for our families,” she says.—Cristina Olds
