PUBLISHER’S NOTE
2014

SOMETHING VERY COOL IS HAPPENING. This summer, Santa Fe began raising its nightlife-and-entertainment game. The recent opening of the new nightclub Skylight is a huge boon for the local music scene. I’m so proud of the folks involved for taking this risk and giving Santa Fe exactly what it needs. A downtown venue with a permanent stage solves a major dilemma for local music promoters. That’s one example of what’s going on. The mayor, who continues to score points around town, is proposing bus service for college students on weekend nights. This logical and novel idea will both support Santa Fe’s nightlife scene and keep revelers off the road. How lucky we are to have a city that supports the local music scene. Check out the Tune In section on the city’s website, SantaFe .org. That’s another example. I’ve also noticed that various open-mike jam sessions are springing up around town and garnering strong attendance and support. The perception that Santa Fe doesn’t have a nightlife is proving to be simply not true. The only problem we’ve had has been knowing where the nightlife is. NOW magazine, which is entering its fourth month, is here to provide you with that exact information. Santa Fe’s nightlife is doing just fine, and it’s getting better all the time.

Necklace by Claire Kahn, cylindrical glass beads and Mexican fire opals, 45"
Claire Kahn at Patina Gallery Using bead crochet techniques, San Francisco jewelry artist Claire Kahn creates complex necklaces and bracelets that contain glass, silver, gold, and stone beads, including sapphires and tourmalines. “The technique is like mosaic,” Kahn explains. “Tiny pieces make up a larger whole. I’ve always liked the idea that putting little things together can create something much larger.” This Friday and Saturday, Kahn shows a selection of her beaded necklaces and bracelets in person at Patina Gallery in downtown Santa Fe. Kahn’s work is all about patterns, she says: Sometimes patterns are focused around colors, sometimes around particular beads and bead sizes that usually don’t exceed eight millimeters in diameter. Although Kahn doesn’t draw her designs on paper ahead of time, she visualizes each piece in her mind before she begins crocheting. There’s a versatility in adorning one’s self with Kahn’s creations, which she views as part of the artistic process. “The jewelry isn’t complete until it’s worn,” she says. “You can twist my pieces or tie them like a scarf. They’re flexible and supple. The wearer makes them their own. I’m always fascinated by the different ways that people wear my work.”—Emily Van Cleve Claire Kahn at Patina Gallery, August 8 & 9, 11 am–4 pm, 131 W Palace, patina-gallery.com

Life Itself excels simply as a portrait of an American who got rich and famous by working hard to be the best at something. The movie critic Roger Ebert was so good at his job that he became a multimedia superstar, respected and even loved by his peers. In Steve James’s new documentary, we look back on young Ebert—fat, happy nerd—and also see him not long before he died in 2013. Ebert couldn’t eat, drink, or talk for years after his cancerous jawbone was removed. His chin dangles limply, and we can see through the hole in his mouth to bandages wrapping his neck. What does Ebert do in the face of such a painful struggle? (He can’t even walk.) He works like crazy. Work is medicine. Using the synthesized voice in his computer, Ebert speaks of writing well enough to enter “the zone” that athletes sometimes find themselves in when they’re on fire. He forgets he’s even sick when that happens. Ebert was a fearless, clever blogger up until the day before he died as well as a blockbuster Twitter presence, with 800,000 followers. Ebert also got as close to figuring out life itself as anyone can. He fought cancer like a soldier because he cherished his wife, Chaz, and their family. Memories of his sterling partnership with Gene Siskel helped power Ebert through brutal rehabilitations. At the Movies (originally Siskel & Ebert & the Movies) was two guys often arguing about films—the clips in Life Itself are great—but it was also work done well. Out of their collisions grew fun TV, and, over time, a fondness like the kind between best friends and even brothers. Ebert was devastated when Siskel died from brain cancer in 1999, but the duo had left their mark. Ebert, Martin Scorsese says in the film, “made it possible for a wider audience to appreciate cinema as an art form.” Right now you’re reading words about a great movie written by someone who watched Siskel and Ebert as a kid every Saturday before dinner. Ebert was an inspiring professional. Life Itself presents him as an inspiring human being. Roger Ebert (right) with I loved this movie. Please his longtime professional go see it.—Phil Parker partner (and sometime Life Itself is playing at CCA, On Demand, and online.

“Pull the knob, and KER-PLUNK . . .” says the promo material for Art-o-mat, the repurposed cigarette vending machines that now sell pieces of art on Santa Fe’s streets. Local artist Victoria Brown hosts the only two machines in New Mexico: MAThilda in El Centro de Santa Fe and CaveMAT in the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. North Carolinian artist Clark Whittington first conceived of Art-o-mat after observing a friend’s Pavlovian response to the crinkle of cellophane wrapping on a snack. Why not wrap art in plastic and use the recently banned cigarette machines as dispensers?, he wondered. “The mission of the program is to encourage art consumption in an innovative form,” Brown says. “What better way to do this than with a heavy, cold, steel machine?” Since the first Art-o-mat launched in 1997 with Whittington’s black-and-white photographs mounted on blocks of wood, Art-o-mat machines have gone on to dispense affordable pieces of art in more than 100 locations across the U.S. Possible cellophane-wrapped delights that come with a yank of the knob include paintings, sculpture, jewelry, mixedmedia works, and more. Locally, Brown stocks the machines with paint-chip pins she creates with found materials sourced from the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo; small glass vials with red chile and yucca seeds by Tiffany Peterson; and wood blocks covered in abstract works on paper by Kenny Goering. The company that distributes Arto-mat art, Artists in Cellophane, represents more than 400 artists from 17 different countries and invites more to join. Sample kits and guidelines for submissions are available at artomatsantafe .blogspot.com. —Cristina Olds
Two Art-o-mats can be found in town: in El Centro de Santa Fe and in the Santa Fe Community Convention Center.

Stars of American Ballet the country’s leading ballet dancers take to the Santa Fe stage by Emily Va n Cle ve WHEN NEW YORK CITY BALLET principal dancer Daniel Ulbricht gets a break from his regular performance schedule, he invites a small group of principal and soloist-level dancers from the country’s major dance companies to join him in presenting traditional and contemporary ballets in various communities around the world. Ulbricht’s program, called Stars of American Ballet, seeks to bring highlevel dance to anyone who has an interested in it—especially people who may never get the chance to see it performed live. Over the course of its history, Stars of American Ballet has performed from coast to coast and as far away as Mongolia.

“Putting together a program is like designing a menu at a restaurant,” says Ulbricht. “I want to strike a balance between ballet classics and newer works.” This week, Performance Santa Fe (formerly known as the Santa Fe Concert Association) brings Stars of American Ballet to the Lensic for two programs featuring nine New York City Ballet dancers in works by renowned choreographers like George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Marius Petipa, Christopher Wheeldon, and Justin Allen. “Putting together a program is like designing a menu at a restaurant,” says Ulbricht. “I want to strike a balance between ballet classics and newer works.” On Wednesday, August 13, newlyweds Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild dance the Black Swan pas de deux from Act III of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, choreographed by Petipa. On Thursday, August 14, the pair also dances the pas de deux from Mercurial Manoeuvres, a ballet Wheeldon, who served as New York City Ballet’s first artist-in-residence, made to Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1. “Robert has the charisma of Gene Kelly, and Tiler, she’s like a chameleon going from one style of dance to another with ease,” says Ulbricht. “They’ve been paired together for years.” Although Ulbricht has his hands full serving as the show’s director as well as the tour manager, he’ll be giving the world-premiere performance of a solo choreographed by Allen to music by Mexican

Santa Fe
Mountain Adventures immerse yourself in the city’s rich, one-of-a-kind outdoor and cultural offerings by Ste ve n Horak
As much as SFMA brings the natural wonders around Santa Fe into sharp focus, so too does it emphasize the city’s rich cultural offerings—and with good reason. As Founder and Chief Adventure Officer Owen Perillo points out, “Our guests love and appreciate combining adventure with the great history, culture, and cuisine we offer here in Santa Fe.” As well as partnering with the Gerald Peters Gallery and Estrella Del Norte Vineyard, SFMA also leads a Downtown Southwestern Cooking Scavenger Hunt in conjunction with the Santa Fe School of Cooking. In the course of the hunt, guests learn about defining events in Santa Fe’s past and then work together to prepare a Southwestern menu under the expert guidance of the school’s chefs. While SFMA generally caters to families and groups of four or more, it also offers private guided excursions, such as mountain biking, arts-and-culture tours, and geocaching for smaller parties of up to three people. Most SFMA trips last from half a day to a full day, but longer outings are available as well. For more information, visit santafemountainadventures.com. 16

COURTESY OF SANTA FE MOUNTAIN ADVENTURES
SET AGAINST THE RUGGED backdrop of the Sangre de Cristos with awe-inspiring red sandstone cliffs, dramatic badlands, and thick aspen forests just a short drive away, Santa Fe is the perfect base to experience some of New Mexico’s most stunning scenery. So varied and limitless are the options that sometimes it’s best to let the experts do the planning for you. That’s where Santa Fe Mountain Adventures comes in. Since 2004, SFMA has been sharing with its clients the very best of Northern New Mexico’s outdoors, from backcountry hikes and llama treks to whitewater rafting and stargazing sessions. Even if you’re a local long-accustomed to weekend outings, chances are SFMA offers a trip that will lend a new perspective on your surroundings. By cultivating strong partnerships with a diverse range of local outfitters, including the Stables at Bishop’s Lodge, New Wave Rafting, The Reel Life, and Astronomy Adventures, SFMA offers experiences that go well beyond a sampling of area highlights. Its regular full slate of activities is augmented this summer by a few new options, including a Trucking and Trekking Adventure, which combines a ride in a Swiss Army Pinzgauer truck deep into the Sangre de Cristos with a GPS-guided scavenger hunt of especially scenic locales. More mellow—and a perennial favorite—are the llama treks offered in partnership with Wild Earth Llama Adventures, where the easygoing animals carry gear while guests learn about native flora and fauna from knowledgeable guides.

Izanami
THE ADDITION earlier this year of the lovely restaurant Izanami to Ten Thousand Waves—a longtime spa favorite of locals and visitors alike—completed the pleasure trifecta: Guests can now soak, sleep, and sup in the same striking, serene mountain setting. The dramatic structure that houses Izanami is reminiscent of both an Alpine ski lodge and a modern Japanese cottage. A towering waterfall that pours into shallow pools outside the front door ushers you into relaxation mode (and makes for a dramatic ice sculpture in winter). Soaring ceilings, dark-wood booths, cubby-hole windows, a long community table, and a low-table seating area make up the central room, which is flanked by an open kitchen with counter seating that offers a front-row view of what’s going on at the stoves. Chef Kim Müller’s lengthy menu allows you to get a sense of an izakaya, a Japanese gastro-pub that serves small-plate dishes. (Sashimi and sushi are nowhere in sight here.) Items are divided into categories: cold, hot, grilled, fried, and sweet. Remember to adjust your taste buds; flavors, textures, and combinations of ingredients are presented simply, and elemental tastes are celebrated. Crunch, spice, sourness, saltiness, and umami give each dish its distinct personality. Don’t-miss dishes include a unique and deliciously creamy edamame hummus pepped up with roasted garlic and mint; a spinach salad with added snap from cashews, bacon bits, and crispy shallots, topped with a luscious tofu dressing; silken miso-glazed eggplant slices (my favorite); crispy fried Brussels sprouts with lemon and mint (the table favorite); and Heritage pork belly with ginger BBQ glaze. The house-made gyoza dumplings have a sensual feel, with a tender pork, cabbage, and scallion filling that dissolves on the tongue. The addition of butter to the sake-braised shimeji mushrooms lends a sophisticated richness to an otherwise modest presentation. Even tofu, which I tend to ignore on menus, thrills when marinated in sesame-tamarind chile and grilled or turned into an almost crème brûlée-esque custard. There’s also a crispy panko-crusted pork loin cutlet with a hot mustard dollop; a great Wagyu beef burger with Japanese seven-flavor chile aioli sitting in for New

In his show Witheld Narratives at LewAllen Galleries in the Railyard (through August 29, 1613 Paseo de Peralta, lewallengalleries.com), Christopher Benson displays new paintings of landscapes and interior spaces that are at once familiar and mysterious, comforting and lonesome. Benson’s emphasis on shape, form, and color, as well as his rejection of intricate details and embellishments, strips his subjects down to their essence, luring viewers into his artworld with impressions of certain times, places, or experiences rather than fleshed-out storylines. Benson, who came of age in post–World War II New England and counts Richard Diebenkorn among his influences, has said: “I fastened early on to a kind of modernist-inflected representation that made sense to me, and to which I have stubbornly stuck ever since.”

Internal Light
by Emily Va n Cle ve
painter Cody Hooper celebrates the artistic drive and spirit
CODY HOOPER’S NEW solo show at Pippin Contemporary, Internal Light, focuses on the inner spirit of the artist. “The work touches on the contrast of the struggles and triumphs in life that makes us the dynamic creatures we are,” says Hooper, who’s known for his sculptural paintings. “I [highlight] illusions of light, contrast, complex layering, bold colors, and surfaces to tell these stories through my paintings.” One of the show’s 20 featured works is Ocean Moon—the largest piece Hooper’s created to date, measuring 48 x 70". It’s also the first painting Hooper has ever framed. “Something in the back of my head said to frame it, so I did,” he says. Hooper’s paintings are very textural: Using acrylics with metallic pigments, his works can be up to two inches deep. Swirling strokes, he says, reflect his life-long interest in calligraphy. Since moving to New Mexico from Austin, Texas, three years ago, Hooper’s colors have become more intense. Ocean Moon’s color palette, which is in the blue family, reminds Hooper of turquoise stones and Lavendar Dream, acrylic on panel, 40 x 60" the ocean, which he says he both loves and
“The work in Internal Light touches on the contrast of the struggles and triumphs in life that make us the dynamic creatures we are,” says Cody Hooper. misses. “I used more subtle earth tones in Texas, but this area has inspired me to paint more colorfully,” he says. “I think people here want to see color.” Most of the works in Internal Light are from Hooper’s acrylicand oil-on-panel series of works. In these paintings, the focus is on combining natural elements with architectural influence; metallic gold washes and gold dust are often incorporated to help give the works a 3-D effect. “I’m very picky about the paintings I put in a show,” Hooper says. “They have to give me goose bumps or I’ll take them back to the studio and redo them.”

Jinni Thomas considers all of her subtly hued mixed-media-on-panel pieces to be self-portraits, while Pauline Ziegen’s work is inspired by the high desert landscape.

Tucson-based Venezuela native José Sierra incorporates the colors of the Andes into both his porcelain and stoneware pieces, which juxtapose organic, landscape-inspired shapes with hard-edged geometry.—ET
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: JANE FILER It’s telling that in Jane Filer’s paintings, humans are often smaller than the dogs, birds, flowers, and assorted unknown creatures that populate her colorful, fantastical worlds. “I want to put us in proper perspective in my art,” explains the artist, speaking from her home and studio in the North Carolina woods. “It’s a focus on loving nature and embracing the whole thing—the planet, animals, even insects—and how we need to take care of the earth.” Each of Filer’s pieces begins as an abstract underpainting, with the artist intuitively moving color around. “The next thing I know, shapes and color start to become a composition—a movement or melody or symphony,” she says. With a foundation of rhythmic layers of color and pattern, Filer works and waits until she notices something that compels her to pick up charcoal and then sketch in, and then paint, a figure or form. With each step, the painting evolves as an experience of “free-falling discovery,” as she puts it. Stories emerge, but not in a literal narrative sense. “It’s a visual expression that depicts my emotions and spirituality and my life as I’m experiencing it,” Filer says. “I guess if I could write a poem or song, I would. Thank goodness we have art!” —Gussie Fauntleroy Bill Hester Fine Art, billhesterfineart.com Jane Filer, Appalachia Pond, acrylic on canvas, 110 x 56" 24

COURTESY OF ADOBE GALLERY
FOR THE FIRST TIME in the 15 years that Adobe Gallery has been open in Santa Fe, owner Alexander E. Anthony Jr. hosts an exhibition featuring pottery by renowned San Ildefonso Pueblo artist Maria Martinez (1887–1980). “In February, a man from Pennsylvania came into the gallery interested in selling his large collection of red pots by Maria,” Anthony says. “They’re much rarer than the black ones. I decided to put together an exhibit with those pieces plus pots and paintings owned by the gallery and on consignment from other collectors.” More than 60 pieces by Martinez and her husband, son, and grandson are featured in the show, which runs from August 11 through September 15. Martinez focused exclusively on making pots, and any decorations were created by a family member. Signatures reflect which hands worked on each piece. The oldest pot in the show, which Martinez made and her oldest sister painted, dates from the 1930s. Martinez’s husband Julian Martinez (1885–1943), son Popovi Da (1922–1971), and grandson Tony Da (1940– 2008) were all painters. The exhibition includes one of Tony Da’s final paintings, which he completed in 1981—a year before a devastating motorcycle accident left him partially disabled and with severe memory loss.

Satiny and golden, four simple petals form the solitary flower of the California poppy. The lovelies pictured here were spotted in one of their native habitats: New Mexico’s sandy soil (this time along Garcia Street in downtown Santa Fe). Also called things like the golden poppy, flame flower, and cup of gold, the California poppy is seen from Washington State all the way to Baja California, Mexico, in sunset shades of yellow and orange and even white or red. Its greenblue leaves purportedly have mild sedative effects and are used in Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Native American medicine practices. —Cristina Olds

Many of them locations in downtwon Santa Fe (seen have more than two here) and Eldorado. decades’ worth of experience and have been working with Peck, Gerber, and Conrad for years. “We’re all on the same page, dedicated to helping our clients feel better,” says Conrad. “We support each other. It’s a teamwork situation. If any one of us is working with a client and feels that he or she could benefit from working with another therapist in the practice who has a different set of skills, we make a referral.” In a town well-known for its numerous days spas and high-end body treatments, High Desert stands out for its affordable prices, accessible location, low-key environment, and loyal customer base, plus the fact that it’s not actually a day spa.

Santa Fe’s own troupe of vaudeville-style circus performers, the Clan Tynker, rolled, juggled, and danced all over the Plaza last week at a midday Bandstand performance. The group of brothers and sisters clearly enjoy their stage antics, and the fun was contagious for the young and not-so-young alike. Stilt walking and fire-juggling unicycle riding are no big things for these pros, who’ve appeared in movies (Beer for My Horses) and traveled the world (Germany, Egypt, Costa Rica) with their show. The group’s downtown performance climaxed with awe-inspiring fire eating and sword swallowing, as any good circus must. —Cristina Olds 28
