THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN

June 21 - 27, 2013

www.pasatiempomagazine.com

On the cOver 38 Whirled series In grade school, Channing Huser felt magic in Andy Goldsworthy’s land-based art.

Each winter, she gives life to that inspiration with a giant snow-shoveled spiral she creates in a high Big Tesuque meadow; she then takes pictures of the feature in March, as it’s melting. In a show that opens on Friday, June 21, with a 5 p.m. reception, the New Mexico History Museum exhibits Huser’s photographs from the first four years of a project she envisions stretching over a decade. On the cover is Water Over Mountain, an archival pigment print from 2013; courtesy the artist and the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives, HP.2013.24.

Why is Time a One-Way Street?

Wednesday, June 26, 7:30 p.m.

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

Seating is limited.

Anyone can see that the past is different from the future. Anyone, that is, but theoretical physicists, whose equations do not seem to distinguish the past from the future. How, then, do physicists understand the “arrow of time”– the fact that the past and future are so different? Leonard Susskind will discuss the paradox of time’s arrow and how physicists and cosmologists view it today.

www.santafe.edu Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics.

Support for SFI’s 2013 lecture series is provided by Los Alamos National Bank.

We love a parade: Santa Fe Pride As the debate over the right for all Americans to marry rages on in legislatures and voting booths around the country, New Mexico struggles with its own constitutional vagaries as interpreted by the attorney general. Every year, Pride celebrations get bigger and better, and Santa Fe’s is no exception.

The Saturday, June 22, Santa Fe Pride Festival, organized by Human Rights Alliance Santa Fe, begins with the annual parade, which starts at 11 a.m. at the Roundhouse and wends its way around Paseo de Peralta to the Railyard Park. This year’s theme is “Pride 365,” and the parade has an honorary grand marshal: Damian Garcia, the transgender student from St. Pius X High School in Albuquerque who skipped his graduation in protest of the school’s decision to forbid him to wear the black gown worn by male students at the ceremony. Beginning at noon at the park, there will be vendors and performers, including a show by Bella Gigante — the newly crowned Miss Santa Fe Pride 2013 — as well as performances by Guava Soleil, Jewel Box Cabaret, DC Gents, and a group from the Southwest Care Center. There will also be a youth talent show and excerpts from the play Little Shop of Horrors, which is presented in full this weekend at Warehouse 21 (1614 Paseo de Peralta, 984-4423). The party rages on until 4 p.m.

STAR CODES

Heather Roan Robbins

Summer is the time to slow down, enjoy the view, and deepen our roots as the sun — and soon Jupiter — joins Mercury and Venus in the domestic water sign of Cancer. We take things at a measured pace as communicative Mercury retrogrades on Wednesday for the next three weeks. Mercury also hits the repeat button and spirals us back to hear the stories of relatives one more time and face familiar problems.

This Cancerian line-up increases our need for security, privacy, and a personal nest. Mars, now in talkative Gemini, encourages us to speak up and demand freedom of information and transparency. Watch this paradox play out in relationships as well as in national politics.

Over the weekend some event forces us to think about core issues — why we’re here and what we need to do before we leave — as the full moon in serious Capricorn conjuncts profound Pluto. Pay attention to important decisions made now; we stand at a crossroads. That Capricorn competence can also help us tie up loose ends before Mercury retrogrades.

Tend to paperwork, unpaid bills, and reservations. By Wednesday, all things Mercurial — like connections, computers, and conversations — can develop a molasseslike quality. Make life an exercise in patience.

Measure twice before cutting, confirm information, and renew, revisit, remember, and review over the next few weeks.

Friday, June 21: The Sagittarius moon brings a lightheartedness with touchy edges. Midday breeds confusion or sleepiness as the moon squares Neptune. After taking a siesta, check what needs action before Mercury retrogrades. Tonight we’re most adventurous around familiar circumstances.

Saturday, June 22: There is a paradoxical enthusiasm and a tired streak this morning; it’s a wonderful day to wander in nature or explore global cultures, but personal responsibilities may delay us. If some serious truth needs telling, do so directly and with an engaged heart. The afternoon is odd, funny, curious, and honest followed by a sweet if disjointed evening.

Sunday, June 23: The full moon in Capricorn at 5:32 a.m. challenges us to ask important questions about life, death, the effects of the past, and the meaning of power. Tend to real issues, but be careful not to project an existential heaviness onto minor personal concerns.

Monday, June 24: It’s an industrious day if we overcome a seductive inertia and avoid distractions. Don’t enable bad behavior or give into a listless feeling. Listen with an open heart. A little true attention goes a long way.

Tuesday, June 25: Track responsibilities to the team and community as the Aquarius moon squares Saturn. Find the group dynamics funny and don’t get grim unless the situation truly calls for it. Tonight has a slapstick edge and offers a chance to get a fresh perspective.

The House of Redgrave: The Lives of a Theatrical Dynasty by Tim Adler, Aurum Press, 336 pages

AP photo

“We’re a family of working actors. It’s like coming from a family of carpenters or plumbers.” — Natasha Richardson on the idea of a Redgrave dynasty Tim Adler’s The House of Redgrave is a tasty romp through British theater and cinema over the past 70-odd years, with plenty of detours through beds and marriages and personal dramas. What it is not, in the sense you might expect, is a tale of the House of Redgrave. If there were truth in advertising at work here, this book might better be called Tony Richardson and a Supporting Cast of Redgraves. If they were a pop group, they would be Tony and the Redgraves. As you may be gathering, this is a book overwhelmingly about Tony Richardson.

And that’s not a bad thing. Richardson was one of the most influential and important figures of the second half of the 20th century in British stage and screen. He revolutionized British theater in 1956 with his powder-keg Royal Court production of John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger, which forced kitchen-sink realism up the noses of an establishment fed on drawing-room politesse. In 1959 he startled audiences with the movie version, starring Richard Burton. He and his production company, Woodfall, went on to remake the landscape of British cinema with great movies like The Entertainer (1960), which provided Laurence Olivier with the role for which he said he would like to be remembered.

Richardson followed in short succession with the critically acclaimed A Taste of Honey (1961) and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962). The following year he turned away from gritty North Country realism to make the period romp Tom Jones, which won four Oscars, including Best Director and Best Picture, and racked up a raft of other awards and nominations. Retrospect shows that to have been Richardson’ high-water mark; intermittent partial successes layered with failures played out over his remaining 30 years.

In the midst of his professional explosion, he married Vanessa Redgrave in 1962. News of the marriage caught the theater world by surprise.

“The idea that Tony the homosexual had now become miraculously heterosexual must have arched an eyebrow or two among those who knew him,” Adler observes. But the British theater scene was not unused to liberal sexual sampling from both sides of the bed. Vanessa’s famous father, Sir Michael Redgrave, numbered as many men as women among his lovers, and he was not alone in that ratio. When his long-suffering wife, Rachel Kempson, finally took a lover, Sir Michael had an affair with him too.

The book opens with this theatrical anecdote of Vanessa’s birth: “More than seventy years ago, Vanessa Redgrave with her mother, Rachel Kempson, 1968 after a Saturday night performance of Hamlet at the Old Vic, Laurence Olivier stepped out on stage from behind the curtain to announce, ‘Ladies and gentleman, tonight a great actress has been born: Laertes has a daughter.’”

Michael Redgrave (Laertes) wept as he accepted the congratulations of audience and company, and then, as Kempson and newborn daughter Vanessa lay recovering in the hospital, he went off to spend the night with a mistress, actress Edith Evans.

Infidelity was something the Redgraves suckled at the breast, handed down from generation to generation along with the acting gene. Michael’s father, Roy, was a serial bigamist, Adler reports. But already, on the second page of this very readable family chronicle, Adler begins to show some of the carelessness that marks his sometimes giddy charge through the material. Roy had left his first wife “to be with Michael’s mother, Daisy Redgrave, by Vanessa Redgrave and her brother, Corin Redgrave, at an anti-Vietnam War rally in Trafalgar Square, 1968

SubtextS Sign language: The Renga Project Poets can be solitary creatures, but renga, a form of traditional Japanese poetry on which the haiku is based, demands collaboration. A new yearlong renga exhibit from Axle Contemporary opens at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 21. “Two years ago we found a road sign in Pojoaque and did a sign haiku project. From there we got interested in renga,” said Jerry Wellman, Axle co-founder.

Fifty-two poets, led by Jon Davis, Santa Fe’s poet laureate, will construct four poems, each beginning on the seasonal solstice, on a sign installed between SITE Santa Fe and Warehouse 21. A new stanza will be added to the sign each week. Six stanzas will be displayed at one time and the oldest ones will be removed when the new ones are placed, creating a scrolling effect. Poets will respond to the stanza that precedes theirs but will not have access to the entire poem. “I like the idea of linked poetry, of people working off of each other,” said Davis, who added that he sometimes implements a similar technique when working with writing students.

The series kicks off with Dana Levin, a poet and creative writing instructor at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, reading her contribution. “Right away, Dana broke all the rules” concerning how renga should be composed, Davis said.

“A famous renga master once said, Start writing renga now. In 20 years, you’ll know if you’re any good. But this is American renga; it starts off with a maverick verse.”

Project participants — all New Mexicans or those with deep ties to the state — include Joan Logghe, former Santa Fe poet laureate, and Albuquerque poet laureate Hakim Bellamy. Upon the project’s culmination next summer, the poem will be published as a book, with each stanza accompanied by line drawings done by a range of artists, from a comic book artist to a santero.

1903,” Adler says. Then, barely pausing for breath, he announces that “Roy and Daisy met in the summer of 1907.”

Rhetorical missteps and logical inconsistencies are scattered throughout like corn in a chicken coop. “Sometimes [Richardson] never felt an artist had any difficulty in trying to preach political doctrine,” Adler writes; and “George Devine [Richardson’s producing partner] was pressurising him” to return to the theater. The flubs range from the typographical and grammatically inconsequential (“Michael weeped”) to more seriously troubling contradictions in substance. “Editing,” says the director Karel Reisz, “was something that [Richardson] mainly subcontracted to editors”; but within the same paragraph Adler observes, “Tony preferred the spontaneous — after all, he could control the film in the cutting room.” Similarly, there’s confusion over the quality of his direction of Tallulah Bankhead in a 1963 Broadway staging of Tennessee Williams’ The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore. Adler quotes one company member as saying, “He would suggest brilliant notes to her,” but Bankhead ignored them. Moments later another company member remarks that Bankhead was “begging for direction and not getting it.” Which was it? Adler doesn’t seem to care. And toward the end of the book, he describes daughter Natasha discovering the manuscript of Richardson’s autobiography in a cupboard while “sorting out Tony’s things at King’s Road after his death” in 1991. But a sentence later he has Richardson’s typist presenting the manuscript to Natasha and her sister on the day of his death.

The Redgraves weave in and out of this book mostly to the degree that they interact with Richardson. Tony and Vanessa produced daughters Natasha and Joely before splitting up but remaining close friends and colleagues. Adler takes us through the scorching idealism of Vanessa and her brother, Corin (also a brilliant actor), whose radical politics periodically derailed their careers and love lives. Their sister Lynn steered clear of the siren song of political causes and managed a relatively normal life and stable marriage, until she discovered that her husband of 32 years had a child with her personal assistant. Nobody’s perfect.

Whether or not the Redgraves qualify as a dynasty, as Adler insists and the family pooh-poohs, they have certainly suffered the dynastic curse of tragedy. “When sorrows come,” says Claudius in Hamlet, “they come not single spies/But in battalions.” Michael Redgrave wasted away from Parkinson’s disease. Tony Richardson died of AIDS. Lynn and Corin Redgrave died within a month of each other in 2010, he of a weak heart, she of cancer. It had been just a year since the most stunning and tragic death of all: in the freakiest of accidents, Natasha Richardson, learning to ski on a bunny slope, took a minor tumble and died a few hours later of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Adler’s book is entertaining without being polished or especially well written. Its many self-contradictions make one suspect of some of its more sensational revelations. It is unauthorized by the family, although Adler claims that Natasha was enthusiastic about him writing a biography of her father. After her death, the family closed ranks and did not cooperate with the author.

But for all its flaws, The House of Redgrave reminds us of the extraordinary contributions of that star-crossed acting family and of the game-changing brilliance of its favorite son-in-law, husband, and father, Tony Richardson.

TERRELL’S TUNE-UP Steve Terrell

Musical notes from underground country One of the most satisfying records in the “underground country” vein so far this year isn’t even from this country. I’m talking about the self-titled album by The Dinosaur Truckers, a (mostly) acoustic quartet from Germany. A Teutonic melding of Dinosaur Jr. and The Drive-by Truckers? Nope. These guys don’t sound much like either of those bands.

They’re closer to the newer breed of country rock represented by groups like The Goddamn Gallows, Honky Tonk Hustlas, and The Calamity Cubes.

Starting out just a few years ago as Pistol Pete & The Dinosaur Truckers (I don’t know what happened to Pistol Pete), this group is a banjo-and-stand-up-bass-centered band with strong affinity for bluegrass, although — simmer down, purists — it isn’t a bluegrass band. For one thing, these Truckers frequently feature electric guitar (heavy on the tremolo) and a lap steel for that lonesome sound heard on Hank Williams records. The Truckers are fond of minor-key songs that start out slow before exploding into banjo fury or mandolin mayhem. These guys can play, and they like to play it fast when the spirit says “fast.”

If you’re expecting songs with lyrics about sweet country sunshine, forget it. There’s a certain apocalyptic mood that runs through The Dinosaur Truckers, fortified by song titles such as “Burn the Place to the Ground” (a good-time stomp, and musically it is the closest thing to real bluegrass on the album); “Wolves in the Street” (with an ominous chorus that goes, “I had a crazy dream of a long black limousine that was broken down and covered all in rust/There were wolves in the street

There’s a certain apocalyptic mood that runs through ‘The Dinosaur Truckers.’

and vultures in the trees/And a plastic casket that turned to dust”); and the opening track, “Black Ship.” That one starts out with a burst of electric-guitar feedback, and then comes a primitive, heavy-foot brontosaurus waltz with a slow, ominous “la la la” chorus before breaking into galloping bluegrass mode.

You might think that the moody “Box of Memories” is a long-lost Townes Van Zandt song. It’s one of the slower songs here with a slide guitar that sounds downright ghostly.

“Shadow Fallin’ Down My Face” might remind you of something by Calexico thanks to the mariachi trumpets that seem to come out of nowhere. The Truckers’ prettiest moment has to be the exquisite “Leave Everything Behind,” a song about a guy trying to escape his ghosts.

The chorus has a sly reference to an old Merle Haggard song: “And when I wake with change on my mind/And that old radio plays ‘The Running Kind’/And the weather and the wind whispers too me once again/It’s about time to leave everything behind.”

I hope that music this soulful never becomes extinct, no matter where it come from. Visit http://dinosaurtruckers.de.

Also recommended: ▼ Old World’s Ocean by The Calamity Cubes!

I’ve had this album in my possession for more than a year. I bought a self-burned disc from the band at a performance at the Moose Lodge in Austin during the 2012 South by Southwest weekend (a show that the website Saving Country Music rated one of the top live performances of last year). Earlier this year, Farmageddon Records finally released the album.

The Cubes are an acoustic trio from Wichita, Kansas — banjo, guitar, and stand-up bass.

They draw from bluegrass, folk, gospel, country, and rock. And two of the three members — banjoist Joey Henry and guitarist Brooke Blanche — are strong songwriters. On Old World’s Ocean all of the songs are good, but two of them — “Empty Bottle” and “Same God” — are outstanding. Both are slow, sad ballads written and sung by the gravel-voiced Blanche, a man-mountain of a dude who looks like a

meaner version of the old wrestler Hillbilly Jim, but, judging by his lyrics, has a soul as deep and ancient as Leonard Cohen’s.

“Empty Bottle” is the kind of tune the late George Jones could have nailed. “I’d rather have an empty bottle than no bottle at all/To remind me of the good times before last call/ To remind me of the taste before the fall.”

By the next verse Blanche is singing about a possibly troubled relationship with “this rowdy woman” whom he vows to keep because “this life is a struggle, and I need someone to hold.”

A listener is left wondering whether this love affair has become as empty as the bottle the singer also vows to hang on to.

“Same God” sounds like an existential crisis unfolding before your very ears. What can you say about a song that begins with the lines, “You and I we’re like cattle in the slaughter house/By the time we realize where we are it’s too late to get out/And all the kicking and biting and scratching won’t do it/And all the endless hoping and praying won’t do it.” The most jarring part of the song is the bridge, in which Blanche borrows from the Elephant Man, moaning, “And I’m not an animal /And I’m not a criminal/You said you’d save my soul/ But it feels terrible.” With the refrain, “It’s the same God that never was,” the song could be an atheist confessional. But it sounds deeper than someone trying to make a theological point. The whole song aches with betrayal and pain, as if the singer is losing his religion as you watch him go down.

These two songs are the best I’ve heard come out of the new country underground. I want to hear more. Check out http://tinyurl.com/ CubesFarmageddon.

You choral timbre of boy trebles may not be one’s ideal for this piece, get the sense that it’s not a good thing that her life was changed for and soprano soloist Elin Manahan Thomas’ tonal approximation of the best. Sure enough, Olympia is a breakup album of the sort that a boy soprano is ultimately not satisfying. Mozart left expanses of this only Austra could pull off, as Stelmanis has the kind of voice that can piece unfinished at his death, in 1791, and, in the ensuing 222 years, turn the sun cold, and the group’s brand of synth-pop is one that is as many scholars and composers have proposed different solutions about sharp and unfriendly as icicles cracking along the eaves of a rooftop.

ON STAGE The day-after fest: Make Music Mañana

Make Music, an internationally celebrated day of concerts tied to the summer solstice, started in France in the 1980s and now includes events in some 400 cities. Leave it to Santa Fe to schedule it a day late, on Saturday, June 22. Make Music Mañana kicks off at 4 p.m. in the Railyard and includes a variety of local performers. The day begins with Gypsy accordion and violin duo Dadou & Hilary — followed by New Orleans-style brass band The Mil-tones, pianist Bert Dalton’s tribute project Time Out for Brubeck, and post-rock groove band As In We — and closes with the hip-hop reggae sounds of The Boomroots Collective. It’s not the longest day of the year, but it’s the next best thing. Make Music Mañana is a free event; for more information, visit www.santafemusicalliance.org. — BK

Flutes through the ages: Santa Fe Flute Immersion

Numerous flutists have gathered in Santa Fe this week for a workshop called Santa Fe Flute Immersion, organized by Linda Marianiello. Much of the time will have been given over to master classes for the enrollees, who are polishing their skills in not only classical flute-playing but also matters relating to historical flutes and piccolo. The public is invited to attend the concluding concert, at which all the participants present the solo music on which they have been focusing during the course of the week. The program won’t be set far in advance, but given the emphases of the conference, attendees can expect a hearty serving of French flute repertoire from the Baroque through the 20th century, some pieces with piccolo, and perhaps some cross-genre improvisation. Bill Epstein assists as pianist. There is no charge for the concert, which takes place at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 23, in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel (50 Mount Carmel Road). Call 474-4513. — JMK

All grown up: Warehouse 21

Warehouse 21 is now well into its rowdy teenage years. To celebrate the youth center’s 17th birthday, a host of new and old faces are paying musical tribute to the organization on Wednesday, June 26. According to executive director Ana Gallegos y Reinhardt, the concert features some “favorite W21 musicians who have given back to the nonprofit organization through the years.” Included on the list are Ryan Miera from Chicago band the Limbos, DJ Dirt Girl aka Emily Montoya, Alamo Sun’s Crockett Bodelson, and I Heart Metal’s Alex De Vore. The blend of music, from experimental rock to metal to indie pop, reflects the wide range of programming and support W21 has provided over the years. The music begins at 6:30 p.m., but show up early for the cake. Warehouse 21 is at 1614 Paseo de Peralta; call 989-4423.

Non-standard time: Straight Up and more

Trumpeter and Santa Fe native J.Q. Whitcomb isn’t easily pegged. Since returning from a long stint in Shanghai in 2010, he’s been known to embrace jazz in a moody sort of way, tempering his sound with funk, roots, and reggae influences. Saxophonist Brian Wingard, a New Mexico transplant who’s earned accolades from trumpeter Bobby Shew, among others, has assimilated a number of classic jazz styles while forming his own sound. When the two join versatile drummer John Trentacosta’s trio Straight Up with Chris Ishee on piano and Colin Deuble on bass, as part of St. John’s College’s Music on the Hill series, it’s certain that jazz standards will receive the not-so-standard treatment. The free concert is at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 26, on the college’s athletic field (1160 Camino de Cruz Blanca); call 984-6000 or see www.stjohnscollege. edu/events/SF/music.shtml. — BK PASATIEMPOMAGAZINE.COM

Busy & the Krazy 88!

ichael Dellheim, executive director of Outside In, does not want the Santa Fe Bandstand summer music series to become a victim of its own success. “We are not trying to bring in Mumford & Sons to the Plaza,” he told Pasatiempo, referring to the hugely popular neo-folk band that recently appeared in Taos. Dellheim said he’s concerned “that if we get too big we might be asked to move to a more appropriate venue. So at all costs we are trying to protect our location.”

The series does grow in scope every year but in a lateral fashion. “Last year we did an audience survey to find out what people liked and didn’t like,” Dellheim explained. “The number one answer we got back from people was: make it longer. We were able to go from seven weeks to nine for the first time in our history. We were also able to include weekend nights for the first time ever.”

This is just one of several changes in the series, which has an 11-year history in Santa Fe. It all began when the city approached Outside In founder David Lescht with the idea of bringing a music series to the Plaza. Along with his nonprofit organization, Lescht, who died in May of last year, had a wealth of experience producing thousands of free shows for underprivileged communities in New Mexico, at places including the Kingston Residence retirement community and the New Mexico Women’s Correctional Facility.

Outside In, now under the direction of Dellheim, continues with that mission while still spending summer months focused on the Santa Fe Bandstand.

The current executive director is quick to point out that although the organization has run the Bandstand for over a decade, it does not have a monopoly on the series. “The city puts out an RFP [request for proposal] every three years. It is an open bidding process, so if someone else wanted to produce Santa Fe Bandstand or a summer music series like that ... it’s open. Someone else could do it.” continued on Page 26

PASATIEMPO I June 21-27, 2013

The city maintains an active involvement throughout many other stages of the process, from parking and permitting to traffic control and “resolving any kind of conflict that might come up,” as Dellheim put it. He was particularly gratified when the city agreed to extend this year’s programming to weekend nights, because generally the Bandstand is rented out on summer weekends for other occasions.

“The city wasn’t particularly thrilled to lose the revenue, but I made the case to them that a lot of working families are not able to attend on school nights. By at least offering some Fridays and Saturdays, it gives the chance for more community support.”

The series also aims to be more inclusive this year through broadening the variety of musical offerings. Just as Dellheim is wary of bringing in national marquee performers to the intimate Plaza venue, he recognizes the importance of keeping the reins on a series that in the past has threatened to “become an Americana fest.” Acknowledging that Americana remains a key genre in Bandstand programming, he said that this year’s focus includes seven additional categories. On the list are indie, country/swing, jazz, Latin/salsa, New Mexico classics, blues/R & B/rock, and world.

These categories were pinpointed to increase the range of this summer’s season as well as to help streamline the application process. While a total of 340 musicians and bands applied to perform this year, only 80 slots were available, and for the first time, “everyone who wanted to play had to fill out the same application,” Dellheim said.

The online application process included a basic questionnaire and the submission of musical samples. However, also for the first time, the selection committee “stopped accepting CDs ... the thought being that a band’s CD might tell you how good their producer is but may not tell you how good the band is,” Dellheim said. For a live music festival, “we wanted to get a better idea of how people actually perform in a live setting.”

Necessarily, then, the samples often took the form of uploaded video clips of prior band shows. The result is a lineup that aims for balance in terms of genre and age diversity, with a shared common denominator of proven performance chops.

Asked about highlights for this year, Dellheim went on at some length.

He was particularly excited about opening night (Friday, June 21), because the show intentionally coincides with the first day of summer, occurs on a weekend night, and offers a double bill of salsa music — Ivon Ulibarri and Café Mocha — designed to get people dancing.

Also on his list are folk-rockers The Dunwells, coming in from England (Monday, June 24); Shannon McNally, a country- and blues-inspired singer who recorded with Dr. John earlier this year (Tuesday, June 25); Max Gomez, a rising singer-songwriter from Taos (Aug. 7); and Nação Estrela Brilhante, a maracatu group from Brazil, arriving fresh from a gig at Lincoln Center in New York (Aug. 12). There is also a jazz night (Aug. 1), during which Dellheim encourages spectators to “spread a blanket out and just kind of hang on the Plaza, which is a vibe we are trying to introduce this year.”

The diversity in music is matched by the diversity found within the typical Bandstand audience. This, in Dellheim’s opinion, is why the series boasts such a long and successful history and why the Plaza location itself is so important.

“Outside In brings music into places where people can’t easily connect to the arts, and in many ways that mission is reflected at the Bandstand, because we see so many people who feel comfortable” listening to the music, he explained. “They can dance by themselves, or same sex couples can dance openly. Young people, old people, it is just such a diverse group of people ... such an incredible mix. And we’re very proud to provide that sort of a venue.” ◀

Paul Weideman I The New Mexican

The life and legacy of Eva and the Leonoras hree remarkable women, representing three generations, built and lived in one of Santa Fe’s beloved houses, at 614 Acequia Madre. Eva Scott Fényes and her daughter and granddaughter tallied remarkable achievements in the arts, science, business, and cultural preservation. Their lives are honored with the founding of the Women’s International Study Center.

“I looked at this house, which is wonderful in itself and has retained so much of its original character, but the women were even more wonderful, leaders and role models in their time,” said J. Revell Carr. “So it seemed to me that the best thing to do would be honor those women by carrying forward their work.” With support from the Paloheimo Foundation, Acequia Madre House was established as a nonprofit organization, with Bunny Huffman as executive director. Carr was hired to develop a strategic plan for the house and archive. Last July, the Santa Fe Board of Adjustment designated the house and outbuildings on three acres a museum.

“The house simply could not stand up to a steady flow of visitors, so in considering what to do with the house it was never an option to have it open as a historic house,” said Carr, former director and CEO of Mystic Seaport and a longtime trustee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

These are amazingly adventurous and well-traveled women. One of the things I love most about their legacy in that house is that it represents a really different model of a dynasty: it’s a dynasty of three generations of women, and the men come and go. - - Virginia Scharff,WISC academic advisory board member

Painting cour tesy Pasadena Museum (Fényes-Curtin-Paloheimo Pap of History Archives ers, ESP 008.1963)

A limited-use museum is certainly preferable to 24 new condominiums, which would be allowed under the property’s zoning.

The adobe Acequia Madre House was built 87 years ago by Fényes (1849-1930) and her daughter and granddaughter, Leonora Scott Muse Curtin (1879-1972) and Leonora Francis Curtin Paloheimo (1903-1999).

It is filled with antique furniture and artworks from the Southwest and Finland, as well as Depression-era tinwork, textiles, and furniture made for the Native Market cooperative subsidized by Leonora Paloheimo.

When Paloheimo died, family friend Paul Halme, a director of the Paloheimo Foundation, led the effort to determine the best use of the property. He helped secure a 100-year lease from the property’s owner, El Rancho de las Golondrinas, and hired Huffman to inventory and study the papers and photographs in the family archives.

Under the museum plan, an academic advisory committee nominates fellows in residence who will stay on the property, receive small stipends, and conduct research. Others may apply for scholar-in-residence status.

Each fellow and scholar will present a public program in Santa Fe during the time of residence. Acequia Madre House has also established a program of awards — the first Founders’ Award goes to author, journalist, and biographer Gail Sheehy.

Fényes was the daughter of a New York publisher. Her first husband, U.S. Marine Corps general W.S. Muse, was the father of Leonora. Her second husband was Hungarian nobleman and physician Adalbert Fényes. Their first home in Pasadena, California, is now the Pasadena Museum of History.

She first visited New Mexico in the 1880s and was an enthusiast and supporter of Spanish colonial and Native American art and history. Fényes was an accomplished artist, leaving behind thousands of watercolor sketches.

“The great majority of her subjects are adobe structures in the Southwest,” Carr said, adding that the journalist, historian and poet Charles Lummis was one who encouraged her artistic inclination. “These are mostly watercolors, although she was accomplished in oils. Sanford Gifford, a most famous American painter at that time, taught her while they were on a cruise on the Nile in 1869.

“If you look at photographs of Eva, she appears to be a grand dame, but she went by stagecoach and mule wagon and muleback to get to some of these places. She was not a frail grand dame.”

Her daughter married Santa Fe lawyer Thomas E. Curtin. After his death, she and her 8-year-old daughter — also named Leonora — went to Pasadena, and accompanied Eva on her world travels. The youngest of the three generations wed Finnish consul Y.A. Paloheimo.

In Santa Fe, the two Leonoras were founding members of the Spanish Colonial Arts Society and purchased the La Cienega property that became the living-history museum El Rancho de las Golondrinas. Leonora Curtin was an aficionado of Native and Spanish medicinal herbs and wrote two books on the subject. Leonora Paloheimo researched Native American languages for the Smithsonian Institution and during the 1930s started the Native Market to provide an outlet for the works of Hispanic craftsmen.

Their Santa Fe house was basically designed and built by Eva and the Leonoras, as the WISC organizers refer to them. “Eva was really the guiding hand, and she was also more experienced because she had been building homes her entire life,” Huffman said. “Most of their money came from real estate, not from publishing.”

WISC academic advisory board member Virginia Scharff said the women “pretty much fired every important architect” on their house project. “They were so confident in what they wanted and where they wanted to go, and they weren’t afraid to take risks. They relied on each other a lot, and you can see their personalities in there.”

Scharff is a University of New Mexico history professor, director of the Center for the Southwest at UNM, and chair of the Women in the West

program at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles. She first saw the Acequia Madre House about seven years ago. “The Paloheimo Foundation was involved in the Southwest Museum of the American Indian, which has since merged with the Autry. They had invited Jackie Autry and others from the Autry out to see the house, and I tagged along. When we walked in, it was like an electric current. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing, this intact environment and record of this 73-year history. All of us were just gaping. I was then co-curating an exhibit called Home Lands: How Women Made the West, and we recognized instantly that we were seeing a wonderful example of that.”

Lummis dubbed the Santa Fe home “the house of the three wise women,” Carr said. Another angle in the story comes from the fact that Consul Paloheimo’s family was identified with Finnish independence and identity.

“They were trying to separate their identity from Sweden and Russia,” Huffman explained. “Both Paloheimos grew up in these very rich intellectual communities, but the heart of their interest was folk culture, so this combination was why they fit so well here in Santa Fe.” The rich archive at Acequia Madre House includes thousands of photographs, some taken in Santa Fe dating to 1889. There is a photographic portrait by Mathew Brady of Fényes, who was a teenager during the Civil War. And there is a photo of Leonora Paloheimo by Ansel Adams. Eva and the Leonoras were devoted letter writers, and the archive holds more than a century’s worth of correspondences.

One of the most interesting items is a book with two albums of selfportraits by artists including Gerald Cassidy. Fényes collected self-portraits, beginning with one by her first art teacher. “These were done fairly quickly, for the most part, and some of them, including Andrew Dasburg’s, reflect a playful attitude,” Huffman said.

In the archives is an Ediphone — an antique recording machine — and wax cylinders that may hold the long-ago voices of Navajo and other indigenous peoples. Huffman said Leonora Paloheimo researched Native American languages, working with John P. Harrington of the Smithsonian Institution. “A representative from the Library of Congress will be here in July regarding the preservation of those cylinders.”

Curtin was a student of Native American and Spanish-American herbology and wrote the books Healing Herbs of the Upper Rio Grande and By the Prophet of the Earth. “Leonora Curtin was an amazing ethnobotanist, and this was not a period in which you see a lot of women in science,” Virginia Scharff said. “Her mother was an accomplished painter who went to Santa Fe with a little kid to get herself a divorce. These are amazingly adventurous and welltraveled women. One of the things I love most about their legacy in that house is that it represents a really different model of a dynasty: it’s a dynasty of three generations of women, and the men come and go.”

Carr emphasized that WISC is an institute focusing on women in the arts, cultural preservation, science, and business, but a man writing a book about a woman in one of those fields could qualify as a WISC fellow or scholar. He said the center has a founding donor in novelist and playwright Sallie Bingham. “She is really funding the first year of operation, and we’re raising money for the years beyond that.” ◀ For more information about the Women’s International Study Center, call 983-6538 or visit www.wisc-amh.org.

Letters from Willa Cather

A

uthor Willa Cather was born in Virginia in 1873 and moved to Red Cloud, Nebraska, when she was 9, but it was not until adulthood that Cather traveled further west, to New Mexico and Arizona in 1912. Fifteen years later, she published Death Comes for the Archbishop, a fictionalized account of Jean-Baptiste Lamy’s 1853 establishment of a diocese in New Mexico, then a newly acquired U.S. territory. At the beginning of that book, she describes Father Latour (her characterization of Lamy) approaching Santa Fe after a journey that took nearly a year: “In that depression was Santa Fé at last! A thin, wavering adobe town ... a green plaza ... at one end a church with two earthen towers that rose high above the flatness. The long main street began at the church, the town seemed to flow from it like a stream from a spring.”

Cather is known for her clean, lyrical descriptions of harsh and beautiful landscapes. Two of her most enduring characters are prairie women, Bohemian Ántonia of My Ántonia and Swedish matriarch Alexandra of O Pioneers! Each is as stalwart as any frontier man. Commercially and critically successful during her lifetime, Cather is still celebrated as one of the finest prose stylists of the early 20th century. But access to her personal correspondence has been unheard of, until now.

Cather’s letters are published for the first time — 566 of her roughly 3,000 known letters are presented in The Selected Letters of Willa Cather (Alfred A. Knopf/Random House). The book was edited by Andrew Jewell, an associate professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and editor of the Willa

Stout discovered Cather in the 1980s, when she included My Ántonia on a syllabus for a course she was teaching about women writers at Rice University. “What I loved about it was her style — it seemed so easy, but the more you look the more you see,” Stout said. It wasn’t until the ’90s that Stout turned to Cather’s letters, when she was editing A Calendar of the Letters of Willa Cather, published in 2002. With help from Jewell, Stout began collecting letters from 75 disparate archives.

“When we started reading and collecting and transcribing letters, I had 1,800 letters in my computer, more than anyone thought even existed,” Stout said. “There were false reports that Cather had burned all of her letters; but we had a lot of letters. People hung on to them for more than half a century.”

The Selected Letters begins with the acknowledgement that publishing the letters is against Cather’s wishes, as expressed in her will. The editors believe Cather was invested in controlling her public image as a literary artist, but they say she’s now part of something greater than herself: our cultural history. There are no letters written to Cather in the book, only letters that Cather sent to others.

“I have never felt guilty about it,” Stout said of the collection.

“I felt that she was a treasure that belongs to American literary culture. If by any chance she was worried about our reading things that would embarrass other people, what she was

worried about is two-thirds of a century in the past — the time is just gone. And her family has been very cooperative with this effort.” Cather had no children. When her nephew (and second executor of her will) Charles Cather died in 2011, Cather’s will partially expired. Other descendants and The Cather Trust, which owned the letters’ copyright, were amenable to publication. In any case, U.S. copyright law dictates that in 2017, 70 years after Cather’s death in 1947, the material reverts to the public domain.

The letters are illuminating. They reveal Cather as deeply devoted to her family and friends, a shrewd businesswoman, a follower of world affairs, and an avid traveler. She maintained correspondence with friends such as author and journalist Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant across decades. She wrote letters to her peers, including F. Scott Fitzgerald and Robert Frost, and there’s a photograph of Cather in an uncharacteristically fussy party dress celebrating Mark Twain’s 70th birthday. Her letters from her travels are lush and adventurous. New Mexicans will be gratified to know she loved the state. “Now about Arizona: it’s good, but New Mexico is better,” Cather wrote to Sergeant in April 1912. A month later she wrote again to Sergeant, “I don’t know what to tell you about New Mexico. It’s all so big and bright and consuming. And it’s expensive everywhere.”

The book is organized chronologically, with ample annotation and background information between letters. An index of the letters’ recipients and those who are mentioned in them

Willa Cather, continued from Page 33 provides further context. The earliest letters, from a teenage Cather to family friends, are rife with enthusiasm and misspellings. We trace the course of her career as she goes to study at the University of Nebraska; moves to Pittsburgh, where she edits a women’s magazine and works as a teacher; goes on to New York to work at McClure’s magazine; and then devotes herself to writing fiction. Even if the biographical narrative is familiar to readers, reading Cather’s descriptions of her life and her reactions to what happens is new.

For Stout, who knows Cather well, the letters still contained surprises. “She has a sense of humor,” Stout said. “People usually present Cather as sober and solemn, almost a goodygood. Her fiction had a sense of humor, but it doesn’t just jump out. But when you read the letters — such a sense of humor.

Another discovery was back in the ’90s in Vermont, I read a letter she wrote to Dorothy Canfield Fisher in 1922, about World War I breaking out. Cather had written an essay that’s well-known among academics, and she has this line that I recognized while reading this letter, about how the world has just broken in two. I thought, my gosh, here’s that famous line, this is where it started.”

The letters are also notable for what they do not include, particularly correspondence with Edith Lewis, Cather’s literary executor and her partner for 40 years. Stout laments the absence of these letters. Still, “we don’t know they’re destroyed,” she said.

“There was a nurse who helped care for Miss Lewis in her later years, and there’s some hope that she took some away.” Without letters to Lewis, the portrait is incomplete. “Besides enriching our sense of Cather’s humanity, we know Edith Lewis participated in helping her read proofs: sometimes the handwriting on page proofs was Edith Lewis’. [Having the letters] would be very illuminating about [Cather’s] process of producing the novel,” Stout said.

One letter to Lewis does survive, and it’s lovely. Cather wrote in 1936 from the Shattuck Inn in Jaffrey, New Hampshire: “My darling Edith; I am sitting in your room, looking out on the woods you know so well. ... One hour from now, out of your window, I shall see a sight unparalleled — Jupiter and Venus both shining in the golden-rose sky and both in the West; she not very far above the horizon and he about mid-way between the zenith and the silvery lady planet. ... I can’t but believe that all that majesty and all that beauty, those fated and unfailing appearances and exits, are something more than mathematics and horrible temperatures.

If they are not, then we are the only wonderful things — because we can wonder.”

“People have sometimes said Edith Lewis was a good friend, a helper, almost a gofer,” Stout said. “Well, read that letter. That’s not a letter to somebody who isn’t loved.”

Though the letters offer no further insight on Cather’s romantic life, they do much to change what we know about her, as a person and as a writer. “We like being acquainted with the mind that produced the books,” Stout said. “You can find things out about the novels, sure, but the big thing we’re being put in touch with is this personality — we can all see how the 20th century affected this intelligent woman making her way in the world.” ◀

Channing Huser’s snow spirals

PASATIEMPO I June 21-27, 2013

Paul Weideman I The New Mexican

T

here is a presence up in the hills. In fact, it’s a part of one of the hills, one of the big ones, in the Big Tesuque area. “That mountain feeds me. It’s the thing that keeps me alive,” Channing Huser said.

She emphasized that mountain. “That particular mountain. And there’s a particular place up in this meadow where I would go and hike and sit for many years.” This is the spot in the Big Tesuque drainage where she first thought of digging an unusual, quite large snow sculpture: a spiral, approximately 35 feet across. A photographic record of the snow spirals she has built on the mountain during the past four winters opens Friday, June 21, at the New Mexico History Museum.

“Actually, the image of that spiral came to me in the summertime. There are these wild peas, yellow-flowering peas, that are in bloom now, in June, and you can see a movement pattern. I was sitting there and I thought, There’s an eddy here.

There’s a current. I often walk to the top of Santa Fe Baldy, and this meadow [at Big Tesuque] has a similar quality even though it’s not a peak; it’s just a ridgeline meadow.”

She constructed similar sculptures in different areas of the meadow, but they “didn’t feel right.” She settled on an area above the eddy. “This place is where it lives.” There’s obviously an affinity, yet she doesn’t linger in the center of the spiral. “I don’t like it. It’s a big vibe. When I go to just sit, I like making a little snow bench and sit up above it. It’s like a still point for a ton of movement on this ridgeline.”

The museum exhibit, Water Over Mountain, is a single frame — 2 feet high and 8 feet long — enclosing four archival pigment prints. Each one is a grid of 49 photographs that Huser made during March — in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.

The Colorado native first picked up a camera in high school art class, but her spiral took root when she was in elementary school, when a teacher showed her class a film about land artist Andy Goldsworthy. “At 8 years old, he was instantly my hero,” she said.

She graduated with a BFA from Colorado State University, with a focus on photography, but she thinks of herself more as an artist than a photographer. “My photography studies in school

The spiral did not start as a photographic project.

It started by spending time in that environment and just sitting still and paying attention to all the movement that’s happening on the mountainside through the seasons.

— Channing Huser were about sequential imagery with still photography, and the beauty and activity at the edge of the photograph and how you can look at an image and feel a movement even though it’s not a video or a film. My photography has been stuck in that thread over the years. It’s interesting capturing in the blink of an eye some kind of movement. I’m very excited about the new technologies, and I’m glad to be out of the toxic darkroom. I take bajillions of pictures with my iPhone.”

Huser moved to Santa Fe in 1988 and has taught skiing at Ski Santa Fe ever since. She’s also a bodyworker and teaches at the Santa Fe School of Massage. And she is a beekeeper.

“The spiral did not start as a photographic project. It started by spending time in that environment and just sitting still and paying attention to all the movement that’s happening on the mountainside through the seasons. This is on the northwest edge of the Big Tesuque drainage, on the ridgeline, and when you sit there it’s stunning — the life and the movement that happen along the contour of the landscape there. There’s an air current there that you can hear in the trees and see in the grass.”

The process of building the spiral starts in October, roughly coinciding with the first snowfall. Then she tends it. “There are a few friends who help me, because it’s a lot of work digging

this out after a storm.” The project’s documentation element is carried out each March. “That’s the threshold. That’s when there’s the most snow, but then the temperature rises and it melts really fast. Being up there and digging and hanging out is meditative, but watching it melt just blows my mind.”

She takes the March photos with a Canon G11 camera, often attached to a 12-foot avalanche-probe pole. She sets the camera’s self-timer and hoists it up for the shot. Then she walks about 5 feet and does it again, or she takes the next picture from a lower vantage point.

“This entire project was done with a pocket camera, a crappy little $20 tripod, and a roll of duct tape. My photography friends look at me like, Really? I have thousands of photographs from the Big Tesuque.” You can see quite a few of them at http://500px. com/channinghuser/sets. But those, Huser said, are “just the back story” to the spiral snow sculpture.

She is admirably obsessive about the mountain remaining wild and pristine, and she picks up other people’s garbage whenever she sees it. She maintains that aesthetic by sculpting the spiral piece only with snow — so no trace can be found in the summertime.

My intention is, as long as my body can do it, to snowshoe up to this site and dig this thing out, to do this for a 10-year record. My plan is to annually create a composite image for the month of March and donate that to the Photo Archives so that in 10 years you’ll have that record.

PASATIEMPO I June 21-27, 2013

Water Over Mountain, 2012 Writer and conservationist William deBuys, who wrote a thematic statement to accompany the exhibit, likes the artist’s medium. Snow, he writes, is “the miracle that animates our farms and forests, the great white reservoir that we pray for and play in literally metamorphoses into our rivers and springs and into the moisture that brings the soil alive in the spring.” In a phone interview, he said that Huser’s project is “a nice way to evoke a certain aspect of the land and certainly an aspect that has had the forefront in our minds these days as we struggle with dry times.”

Huser, after shoveling snow in the mountain meadow for four consecutive years, has noticed that the amount of snow has changed drastically. “I know we have a natural ebb and flow of drought, but I would like to be able to document that there is a change within the ecosystem up there.” Pointing at the grid of photos she took this March, she noted that the viewer can see a lot of earth color — not all the whites and sky-reflected blues of snow. In 2010 the site didn’t look like that until early May.

When she creates and tends the piece, she uses a shovel to dig in a spiral, almost down to the ground. She leaves a couple inches of packed-down snow; this layer protects the grass underneath from foot action. The deeper the snow, the higher the spiral when she’s finished. In 2010 the spiral was as high as her eyeballs. This year it was up to only her knees.

“My intention is, as long as my body can do it, snowshoe up to this site and dig this thing out, to do this for a 10-year record,” she said. “My plan is to annually create a composite image for the month of March and donate that to [the Palace of the Governors] Photo Archives so that in 10 years you’ll have that record.” ◀

CURIOUS CANVASES J O H N T A R A H T E E F F ’S P U Z Z L I N G T A B L E A U X

aintings by John Tarahteeff may be seen as narrative and symbolic, perhaps even allegorical, but never do they feel didactic. The ambiguity of expression in his figures — whether sailors lounging by the seaside and enjoying a smoke or a young girl running through the grassy dunes — is open to interpretation. Those sailors are merely taking in some sun, you might say to yourself, and the girl is simply frolicking.

These two specific paintings — Sailors on Leave and Flight, respectively — are among the more straightforward works included in the exhibit Undertow, which opens Friday, June 21, at Nüart Gallery. Still, there is an odd quality to them. One wonders what, for example, is passing between the sailor and the parrot staring at each other in the first painting and why the girl in the second painting has a backpack with a puppy sticking his head out of it, looking toward the beach. The answer is simply that there’s more here than meets the eye. The artist keeps his subject matter just slightly skewed toward the surreal.

“Some people have used the term magic realism,” Tarahteeff said. “When I paint anything, it’s usually coming from more of an archetypal space. I rarely have anyone modeling for my paintings. The figures are constructed. They’re not about specific people. They stand in for ideas.”

Tarahteeff provides just enough sense of story to get your mind working. There is much going on behind the scenes. “I’ve been using the ocean as a setting in my

work now for a number of years,” he said. “There’s something about the ocean, the land and the sea getting together. There’s something about emotions and the vastness of the ocean versus the land, this empty expanse and this mystery of what’s underneath. That’s kind of the metaphor for the paintings. There’s a sweet imagery going on on the surface, but sometimes the relationships between things in the paintings suggest a deeper emotional undercurrent kind of like an undertow.

There is a story, but it’s usually not a story I’m aware of when I’m setting out to do the piece. Part of the fun of doing this painting thing is I kind of find out which stories are inside of me as I make the work. Sometimes I have ideas up front, but there’s kind of an honesty about painting where sometimes the ideas I have up front are subverted. In the process of painting, the narrative that emerges actually questions my initial assumptions about the narrative I thought I was painting.”

Tarahteeff works in a tradition of formal composition. His figures are almost classically posed but rendered in an artificial, stylized manner. His painting The Shelter, for instance, is Mannerist in its treatment of bodies with elongated limbs and distortions. “It has that kind of twisting you see in a Mannerist painting.

The figure is in flux, twisting different ways. I’m always looking at old paintings for inspiration. The Mannerists are definitely artists I look at a lot both in terms of how they handle the figure but also how they handle painting. They create a continued on Page 44

Running With Fox, 2012, acrylic on canvas

John Tarahteeff, continued from Page 43 whole world. Every little thing in the painting has this shared vision through it.

It’s constructed. It’s not just exactly how things look but how the artist wants you to see them.”

Tarahteeff seems to make reference to biblical themes in some of his work.

The Dreamer (Seacliff), for example, features the image of a man emerging from the tail end of a fish, alluding to the story of Jonah and to the fish as symbol of the watery realm of dreams or the subconscious. The juxtaposition of human and animal is a frequent motif in his work. In addition to that seen in The Dreamer, this appears in The Shelter, which contains a woman and a horse. And in Running With Fox, a young man emulates the movements of a fox, suggesting a primal, instinctual connection forged between them. Tarahteeff said the animals can “play an echoing role of the drama. The humans trying to understand the natural aspects of themselves through the animal. Expressions of desire and whatnot.

[Running With Fox] is real sweet to me. There’s not a lot of dark, emotional undercurrent in that one per se, versus some of the other pieces.”

Tarahteeff grew up near the California coast, and his work is informed by personal experience. “I live in Sacramento, but I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, and I made it up to the coast a lot. I have a lot of memories that come from vacationing, having a day trip over at the coast. I’m working out my myths that 44

developed starting in childhood, about gender and stuff around that. I’m still wondering about how that works into the paintings, but I know it’s there. Anytime I paint a figure, whether it’s male or female, I’m referencing myself, because I know what it’s like to make the gestures and how I would feel in that position. There’s something visceral about painting a figure that really connects you.”

When people see Tarahteeff’s work, they often ask for an explanation of the action happening in each scene. “When people want that back story, they come to you already with an idea of what they think it’s about. When you start explaining, you sort of ruin it for them, because the odds that you’re going to be on the same page are pretty low. It’s best to just let it be and hear what they have to say and not try to suggest too much. When I look back over my work, as years go by, my narrative with the piece changes. There are archetypes in there that are somewhat universal. Depending on where you are in life, you’re going to project something different on to the piece.” ◀

Loren Bienvenu I For The New Mexican

The birds and the

beads American performance artist and sculptor Nick Cave (not to be confused with the musician of the same name) is an adoptive artist — any stray button, discarded toy, relinquished handbag, or abandoned animal statuette has a chance of finding a new home in his elaborate works of sculpture and wearable art. His signature Soundsuits are an unsettling cross between garments and disguises, combining sequins, beads, synthetic hair, and more in tightly arranged swirls and patterns. Some evoke the celebratory costumes of Mardi Gras, others the creatures of nightmare, but nearly all unite the familiar with the unsettling.

Cave is not a mere collector of stray buttons — he purchases hundreds of pounds of buttons at a time. Nor does he spend his hours with needle and thread in hand. Now in his mid-50s, the internationally recognized artist directs a team of assistants in the manufacturing of his art. His Chicago-based workshop has at times employed more than two dozen workers, generally recent art-school graduates, who sit in near silence for seven to eight hours a day and sew buttons (at the rate of two to three a minute) or perform a variety of other tasks that combine the artistic with the menial.

Given that a huge part of the impressiveness of Cave’s work is its meticulous craftsmanship, the question arises: When creativity and craft are separated, do we still hold the work in the same awe? Cave operates on the outer fringes of fashion, a tradition that relies on a staggering amount of handiwork performed by workers as faceless as some of Cave’s Soundsuits. For instance, Yves Saint Laurent employed a small army of les petites mains (the little hands) to sew his pieces, a practice not just common but necessary in the field of haute couture. So in a way, Cave seems within the boundaries of tradition.

His work particularly reflects the influence of avant-garde fashion designer Alexander McQueen as well as Saint Laurent’s 1967 Africa Collection, which employed unusually textured materials like raffia, shells, and wooden beads. That collection was showcased in a Saint Laurent retrospective at the Denver Art Museum last year. Now Sojourns, an exhibit of Cave’s work at the museum through Sept. 22, offers another compelling reason to make the short trip to Denver.

Nick Cave’s Sojourns 46

PASATIEMPO I June 21-27, 2013

Sojourns is site specific. The majority of the pieces were made expressly for the show, and Cave played an unusually active role in decisions involving structural alterations to the space and the specific layout of the art. Upon first walking into the exhibit, one enters a sort of antechamber partially plastered in colorful, psychedelic bird wallpaper.

In the center of the room is a single piece titled Sculpture. In this work, a reclaimed baptismal font forms the base for a nest populated with plaster and rococo birds, fruit, and classical figurines. The kitschy presentation somehow evokes the innocence of Eden, yet the Christian implications of the baptismal font make it clear that the scene is firmly rooted after the fall. Perhaps the font is meant to serve as a birdbath, but in any case, its basin is empty. With this ceremonial introduction to Cave’s characteristic twisting of the familiar, the sojourn has officially begun.

The following room offers visitors their first glimpse of Cave’s Soundsuits. The long, narrow room seems designed to create intimacy between viewers and the 11 mannequins arrayed in various poses.

Though these alien forms are the ones on the catwalk, the viewer must do the actual walking. It’s necessary to make a full circle around each piece to see both its front and its back, which are typically different and speak to Cave’s interest in the symbolism of the dual-natured. While the figures in the first room are mostly white and sheathed or scaled in buttons, they differ in many ways. One has a colorful bouquet sprouting from its face (a beaded burial wreath, it turns out). A few others have heads defined by round spirals of bright tinsel. Extending as a canopy over the entire room and hanging on the walls is a massive length of mesh covered in thousands upon thousands of buttons — a twinkling galaxy that attests once more to the powers of the workshop.

In the next room is a massive, 26-feet-in-diameter tondo, or circular piece, entitled Constellation. The piece might best be called a quilt, being an elaborately stitched collage of reclaimed, sequined garments that sparkle faintly in the low light. A wall caption explains that Constellation is Cave’s attempt to recreate the wonder he felt as a child when staring up at the stars.

After winding past the tondo, viewers encounter a series of seven sculptures called Rescues. Much like Sculpture, these works combine cheap, discarded relics of the past in gaudy yet poignant displays. In this case, each includes a life-sized dog statue (“adopted” from thrift shops and antiques malls) resting on a piece of furniture. Overshadowed by nests of birds and beads, the dogs stare out from atop their thrones with benevolent and dreamlike gazes, seeming to transmit the protective yet nervous zeal of once-abandoned pets.

The dogs serve as sentries leading to a second, larger room of Soundsuits. Here, the 14 figures on display are more varied and colorful than those that came before. One has a visor made of an old wooden abacus, another is surrounded by a mobile of 1950s-era metal toys and noisemakers, and others are covered in long, brightly colored hair. Also in this room, visitors learn from a wall caption that Cave was inspired to create his Soundsuits more than 20 years ago in response to the beating of Rodney King by policemen in 1991. As an African American, Cave empathized with King, and after seeing footage of the event, he explains in the exhibit catalog, “It was literally overnight that I completely turned a corner and never turned back.” The catalog suggests that his Soundsuits are intended to be protective disguises that offer outlandish anonymity, ones that combine elements of escape and vulnerability just as they evoke fear and wonder.

Upon entering the exhibit’s final room, which is darkened for video projection, we realize that, just as the birds and dogs have not dared to sing or bark, the Soundsuits themselves have been quiet thus far. The continued on Page 48

Nick Cave, continued from Page 47 suits are not designed to be silent museum pieces but rather performative costumes that emit noise through motion. Five projected videos offer the chance to see the Soundsuits in action and to hear the unique sounds inherent to each one’s design, from insectlike rustling and wavelike roaring to the rattle of tilted abacus heads and the desperate scraping of fingers on washboard faces.

This final experience is further enhanced by noises from other viewers — occasional laughter arising from the bizarreness of the scenes, offset by comments such as “This is getting weird,” from a small girl to her parents. The sounds are somehow reassuring in that they reveal a shared uneasiness. Having arrived at the end of the exhibit, we should by now feel familiar with Cave’s creations. But if the work has taught us nothing else, it’s that familiarity and comfort are two different things. ◀ “Sojourns,” an exhibit of work by Nick Cave, runs through Sept. 22 at the Denver Art Museum (100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway).

Paul Weideman I The New Mexican ne hundred and seventy-five years ago, 154 people from the San Miguel del Bado land grant and neighboring communities east of Santa Fe established Las Vegas. In 1878, after four decades of enterprising growth centered around the plaza, the town’s progress was interrupted — or rather split — by an interloper: the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad.

The company chose to build its own town on the other side of the Gallinas River, rather than cozying up to Las Vegas, which already boasted the stone Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church and the adobe Presbyterian Mission as well as many handsome houses — including the Maese, Rheua Pearce, Esquibel-Gallegos, Lorenzo Valdez, Jack Johnson, Benigno Romero, and Vicente Silva homes that remain today.

A wonderful portrait of Las Vegas, which is still divided by many residents into Old Town and New Town, is offered by author and photographer Elizabeth Barlow Rogers in Learning Las Vegas: Portrait of a Northern New Mexico Place (published

Rogers spends 40 pages or so laying out the town’s history, geography, and economic and demographic mix, and then for the remainder probes its residents to fill out the story. “This book records both in words and photographs my walks in Las Vegas, field trips throughout San Miguel and Mora counties, research in local archives, and conversations with the many Las Vegans who have graciously invited me into their homes and places of business,” she writes in the introduction.

Among the scores of people she interviewed, and whose voices she brings into her text, are rancher Luis Martinez; historic preservationist Elmo Baca; United World College graduate Sara Parcero Leites; Christina Padilla, a Memorial Middle School student; graffiti artist Zak Lujan; activists Miguel Angel and Georgina Ortega; Luna Community College president Pete Campos; and Mickey Dowling, 50

a manager of the Richards Drop In Center of the Mental Health Association on Bridge Street.

San Antonio native Rogers, a resident of New York City and Santa Fe, has a bachelor’s degree in art history from Wellesley College and a master’s degree in city planning from Yale University. She is a life trustee of the Central Park Conservancy and is the president of the Foundation for Landscape Studies, New York.

She is the author of The Central Park Book, Landscape Design: A Cultural and Architectural History, and other books.

After a short introduction, Learning Las Vegas opens with a gallery of 26 color photographs. They sport a handsomely glossy finish — “spot-varnish,” according to book designer David Skolkin — which works well with Rogers’ cloudy skies.

On Saturday, Jun 22, Barlow takes part in a panel discussion and book launch at the New Mexico History Museum.

Pasatiempo: Those stormy skies really bring out the colors and textures of the people and buildings in that gallery section.

Elizabeth Barlow Rogers: You know that in New Mexico those gorgeous big vibrant blue skies that we love are not kind to photographers. That very contrasty light isn’t nearly as nice as when you get a cloudy day, and I really did go for it when I had one.

Pasa: You’ve done a nicely multidimensional portrait of Las Vegas.

Rogers: Well, a book is a wonderful thing. It gives you an entrée; you can go into a tattoo parlor and say, “I’m writing a book. Tell me about your business, your life, your art.” People were amazing. There was a real generosity though the whole project. continued on Page 52

Las Vegas, New Mexico, continued from Page 50 Pasa: Because so much of the book is based on interviews, there’s quite a journalistic quality.

Rogers: Yeah, I felt as I kept going that it was a composite sort of portrait. If you look at the website of the Foundation for Landscape Studies, you see our mission is “to foster an active understanding of the importance of place in human life,” and this is all about place and how these people feel about their place.

Pasa: But this book seems different from what you did in your other books.

Rogers: It is. In a sense they’re all about place, but this one has a more anthropological thread.

Pasa: Besides the marvelous history and people and food, you also get into the poverty, drug use, corruption, intolerance, and school fighting.

Rogers: I can’t stop taking the Las Vegas Optic. I’m probably the only person in New York that subscribes. This is like my little town now, and these are my people.

I’m really grieving right now that Estella’s Café is closing. Whatever happened, one of those nasty family quarrels or whatever goes on, and I guess Addie [manager Adelita Lujan] threw up her hands, and it’s being sold to a developer. And Nancy Colalillo with Tome on the Range — I thought she was the last of the independent bookstores and she was doing it as a philanthropy really because she loved Las Vegas, and she has sold the bookstore.

Pasa: At the beginning of the final chapter you mention that, in spite of the declines, there are many who see the half-full rather than the half-empty glass.

Rogers: Things disappear but other things will reappear. I don’t know what’s happening at the moment with the Castañeda, the big hotel by the railroad, but that was supposed to be acquired. If that was renovated as the plaza has been renovated, that would add a tremendous push to turning the town around.

Pasa: What inspired this degree of immersion in a New Mexico town?

Rogers: Since I’m a part-time Santa Fe resident now, I learned about Las Vegas, and I went out to Fort Union and saw the wagon tracks in the grass, and I found it fascinating. But I didn’t think much more about it until I had taken several classes at the Santa Fe Workshops. I crossed the digital divide. It was a learning curve, including Photoshop, and I thought I’d give myself an assignment that 52

wasn’t just going around shooting adobe walls and blue doors and sunflowers.

So I went over to Las Vegas and started hanging out. That was in 2007, and I saw that it was so interesting, the two towns, and that Las Vegas is so anti-Santa Fe. Pasa: It has been an unusual town for a long time because of its importance on the Santa Fe Trail and the railroad, the colleges, the state hospital, and because it’s divided in two.

Rogers: That’s what fascinated me. Going back to my background as someone who’s interested in landscape and cities and layouts and plans, it was immediately apparent that cheek by jowl you have the two towns, one with the old Hispanic Laws of the Indies layout with the plaza in the center and the other from the railroad.

Pasa: And the city has such variety in its historic architecture.

Rogers: There is beautiful Victorian architecture, some buildings in the Arts and Crafts bungalow style from the early 20th century, and some in the World’s Fair classic style named after the 1893 Chicago exposition. There’s just very beautiful architecture throughout the town, including in Old Town.

Pasa: What are you working on now?

Rogers: I am working on a book, really circling back to my origins writing about parks and [Central Park designer Frederick Law] Olmsted. I’ve done a lot of writing about different aspects of nature in New York and the landscapes, including the New York Botanical Garden and Green-Wood Cemetery and Prospect Park, and I’m putting it all together, with photography, also including the newer places, the High Line park and the terrific Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park, the FDR memorial by Louis Kahn. ◀

Shakespeare on the side Laurel Gladden I For The New Mexican Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespearean comedy, rated PG-13, Center for Contemporary Arts, 3.5 chiles Does it trouble you to hear that Joss Whedon — creator of TV’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer and last year’s big-screen megahit The Avengers — is adapting Shakespeare? Well, let me convert your thoughts of woe into hey-nonny-nonny, because this sweet, shortened version of one of the Bard’s most beloved comedies is a sunny, effervescent, and refreshing summer treat, like a citrusy sno-cone or a flute of ice-cold fizzy champagne.

In case you’ve forgotten, here’s the gist of the play’s plot: Don Pedro (played here by Reed Diamond), his bastard brother Don John (Sean Maher), and Pedro’s friends Claudio (Fran Kranz) and Benedick (Alexis Denisof ) are returning from a battle. They’re staying at the home of high-powered politician Leonato (Clark Gregg), father of a young woman named Hero ( Jillian Morgese) and uncle of the witty, wise, and sharp-tongued Beatrice (Amy Acker). Claudio immediately falls for Hero, and plans for their wedding begin. Older, cynical, and snarky, Benedick and Beatrice engage in a “merry war” — they clearly have a thing for each other but refuse to admit it, cloaking their affection in scathing sarcastic barbs.

The course of true love never did run smooth: Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker

Meanwhile, Don John is hatching plots to destroy the romance between Claudio and Hero and to impugn the poor girl’s virtue.

Whedon enlists a stable of his favorite players, nearly all of whom he has worked with before, whether in TV (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse) or in film (Serenity, The Cabin in the Woods, The Avengers).

He shot the film in less than two weeks while on a break from The Avengers, and to further the easygoing ambience (and to add a touch of real-estate porn), he used his own Santa Monica home as the set.

Just because you’re adapting a literary classic for a 21st-century audience doesn’t mean the result has to be overly stylized (I’m looking at you, Baz Luhrmann). Whedon sticks to black and white, which gives the whole film a feeling of easy, cool stylishness. Characters carry cellphones, wear flowy dresses and well-fitting business-casual suits, and are driven around in black town cars (frankly, Don

Counter intelligence: Emma Bates, Jillian Morgese, and Amy Acker 54

PASATIEMPO I June 21-27, 2013

Pedro and company look more like Wall Street bankers than soldiers). A party atmosphere — with jazzy music, dancing, and plenty of booze — pervades the whole production. Whedon composed some bubbly original music to help keep things aloft. He even turns a couple of Shakespeare’s poems, including “Sigh No More, Ladies,” into catchy tunes.

The stuffiness and pretension that can overtake many a Shakespearean adaptation is completely lacking here. The delivery is relaxed — actors render their lines in a conversational way — making everything sound smart and practically hip. Acker in particular has clear, sharp enunciation, and she plays up Beatrice’s whip-smart feminist qualities. She and Denisof have a Hepburn-and-Tracy-style rapport and great chemistry, and they are excellent physical actors; because of that, this Much Ado About Nothing might remind you of a classic screwball comedy filled with verbal sparring, goofy pratfalls, and sight gags.

I dare you not to laugh when Beatrice falls down a flight of stairs and Benedick does abs exercises and yoga poses to impress her. Gregg is a natural — here and in The Avengers (his Agent Colson is one of the best parts of that film) — and if Whedon has anything to say about it, I bet we’ll see a lot more of him in the future. Kranz, though he’s in his early 30s, has a goofy boyish charm that makes him totally believable and lovable as young Claudio. As Dogberry, the bumbling constable and master of malapropisms, Nathan Fillion nearly steals the show.

The film’s seeming insistence on lightheartedness might actually be one of its few faults. The play’s darker elements have conveniently been trimmed, and in some ways the whole affair feels like a fluffy first draft of an even-better movie. Shakespeare’s plot creates a tiny hitch for 21st-century audiences, too.

Much of the central conflict hinges on the fact that Hero might not actually be a virgin on her wedding day, and that emphasis on feminine “purity” is laughably archaic in this day and age. Does Claudio really deserve Hero’s love after being so easily fooled, judgmental, and frankly mean-spirited toward the woman he professes to love? Ass-kicking, nametaking Buffy would roll over in her grave. ◀

Silence is golden Jonathan Richards I For The New Mexican Blancanieves, silent drama, rated PG-13, The Screen, 3.5 chiles In this silent-movie adaptation of the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale by Spanish director Pablo Berger, the little girl with skin as white as snow and lips as red as blood (except the film’s in black and white, so they’re black as ink) is the daughter not of a king but of a famous bullfighter, Antonio Villalta (Daniel Giménez Cacho). When he turns to salute his pregnant wife (Inma Cuesta) in the stands, he takes his eyes off the bull, a fire-breather named Lucifer, and is badly gored and trampled. Villalta and his wife are both rushed to the hospital, she to give premature birth to a baby girl and die, he to recover slowly and painfully under the toxic care of a predatory nurse named Encarna (Maribel Verdú).

The nurse eventually marries Villalta, and the little girl, Carmencita (Sofía Oria), is sent to live in a rat-infested cellar by her wicked stepmother, who shuts her father away in his rooms and forbids his daughter access. Carmencita lives the life of Cinderella, scrubbing and enduring sadistic abuse from the lady of the manor, who drapes herself in jewels and furs and cavorts shamelessly with the chauffeur (Pere Ponce).

But Carmencita manages to find her way into the forbidden rooms of her wheelchair-bound father, and they bond over bullfighting lessons until Encarna cops to what’s going on. The chauffeur is dispatched to take Carmencita off into the countryside and kill her. But she gets away, suffers amnesia, and falls in with a troupe of seven bullfighting dwarves. A ragtag group of dwarves that includes a cross-dresser, a grumpy villain, and a short handsome lad named Juanín ( Jinson Añazco) adopt her, and being not unfamiliar with fairy tales and the circumstances of this story, they give her the name Blancanieves.

This is a true silent film, an homage perhaps more to Buñuel than to the Hollywood silent era to which The Artist paid tribute (although like that Oscarwinner, it features a scene-stealing pet). Cinematographer Kiko de la Rica’s saturated photography gives the picture a stunning visual richness. There is also a very effective silent-movie-style score by Alfonso de la Vilallonga.

True to contemporary sensibilities, Blancanieves grows up not just beautiful but tough. The grown Carmen (Macarena García) leaps into a bullring to rescue a fallen bullfighter, drawing olés and idolatrous applause but unfortunately also the attention of the wicked Encarna.

Blancanieves swept the Goyas (Spain’s Oscars) with 10 wins, including best picture (but not director). Berger directs this retro tour-de-force with great gusto, and the performances are excellent. Maribel (who won mejor actriz principal) may vamp a bit too much in the wicked-stepmother role, but she has so much fun doing it that she’s hard to resist. And the Carmens, small and large, are both wonderful. Añazco, as the lovestruck Juanín, gets the last moment, a poignant finish that abandons Disney’s happy ending and the Grimm Brothers’ delicious sadism for a different take altogether. ◀

Capturing the visual beauty of a mountain range is one thing. Capturing the experience of being among the mountains is another. The Muir Project — a collaboration of filmmakers and artists who spent 25 days traversing California’s Sierra Nevada along its 211-mile John Muir Trail — does a fine job of the former and a fair job of the latter in the documentary Mile ... Mile & a Half. The film is a visual delight, filled with stunning vistas and craftily framed close-ups of wildflowers, cascades, trees, and the trail itself. Those who haven’t seen these mountains for themselves will be tempted to make at least part of the trip.

That’s just what the project members — and no doubt the camping supply companies and other interests that helped fund the project — are hoping for.

Suggestions from national parks and other hiking destinations that backpackers are declining must frighten the industry that supplies them as well as conservationists. Reasons for the decline? Backpacking is hard work. Mile ... Mile & a Half effectively portrays this as the party struggles up endless snow fields to attain mountain passes approaching 13,000 feet. One of the members finds the going so tough that he drops out after a couple of days. The effort required is multiplied by the weight of camera and sound equipment the hikers carry. They marvel at the size of blisters that sprout on their feet.

But as the bear who went over the mountain knows, there’s another side.

Those ascents are rewarded with spectacular vistas and often a long, onyour-bottom glissade down the other side. Camaraderie among the hikers is infectious, and the group that began as five and dropped to four picks up several followers before the journey ends at the top of 14,505-foot Mount Whitney.

That journey began in Yosemite, just beyond the Muir Trail’s start (the group wasn’t able to get permits for the first leg). The granite domes and wide meadows of Yosemite contrast sharply with the upright basalt of the Ansel Adams Wilderness to the south and the rocky, snow-covered heights of Kings Canyon National Park further on. The party camps at idyllic lakes, where they track the changing color of the evening sky and the revolving curtain of stars overhead.

The wilderness is captured on film and in still photography. Fellow hikers are seen painting landscapes, and the sound of rushing water provides a soundtrack.

But words fail the hikers as they try to articulate the grandeur and their exertion. Often, the narration is more about the making of the experience — a documentary about the documentary — than the experience itself. The only profound statement comes from a hiker the group encounters who is retracing his steps of 50 years past. Fewer comments would have given nature more time to speak. ◀

Robert Ker I For The New Mexican Man of Steel, superhero action, rated PG-13, Regal Stadium 14, 3.5 chiles Superman may be faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but one thing the big guy has struggled with is getting a decent movie made about him. Since 1980’s Superman II, the hero has been thwarted by lame jokes, disastrous sequels, Hollywood turnaround, and false starts. It seemed like he had a promising fresh beginning with director Bryan Singer’s 2006 effort Superman Returns, but the results were dull and disappointing, and the silver screen remained Kryptonite.

However, with the wild success that Christopher Nolan had in rebooting Batman and the even wilder success that Marvel had in rolling out many of its heroes before uniting them in The Avengers, it remained clear that Superman is too lucrative a property to lie dormant for long. So Warner Brothers, part of the same corporation that owns DC Comics, brought Superman back — carefully.

The company hired Zack Snyder to direct and brought in Nolan and screenwriter David S. Goyer to help conceive the film; these are the creative minds who helped hatch 300, Watchmen, the latest Batman trilogy, and the Blade movies.

You’ll notice that the title does not contain the word Superman. You’ll barely hear it in the film, and you won’t see Clark Kent at a computer in the offices of The Daily Planet. This movie lays the groundwork for all of that; it’s “Superman Begins,” if you will.

This foundation is dark and surprisingly violent; it eschews the colorful take on the Christopher Reeve-era Superman in favor of an approach that’s gritty and occasionally cinema vérité in style. The realism works surprisingly well, lending weight and a sense of awe to the superpowers. The film is also loaded with details that further imbue it with wonder, such as an early scene with Superman floating unconscious in the deep of the ocean as humpback whales swim above him.

The story is mainly the setup that we all know: a dying planet, a baby in a spaceship, a Kansas cornfield, and so on. Here, Superman is pursued through space by General Zod (a grisly Michael Shannon), which leads to a climactic battle with massive destruction. Although the true carnage happens off-screen, the ruination and loud violence may be too much for children (and some adults).

With the unfortunate exception of Henry Cavill, who looks the part but is often too stiff as Superman, the cast — which includes Russell Crowe, Lawrence Fishburne, and Kevin Costner — is inspired. If you think a Superman story is only as good as its Lois Lane, then fear not: Amy Adams is smart, assertive, funny, and downright perfect as the heroine reporter. The next time out, hopefully we’ll get more of her and a lighter, more playful tone. Man of Steel is a self-assured first step. Up, up, and away. ◀

Couch potatoes in crime: Emma Watson (center) and the girls of The Bling Ring

opening this week BLANCANIEVES In his striking silent-movie adaptation of Snow White, Spanish director Pablo Berger transfers the setting to Spain in the early 20th century and makes his heroine the daughter of a famous bullfighter.

There’s a wicked stepmother — an irresistibly overthe-top Maribel Verdú (Pan’s Labyrinth) — and a troupe of seven bullfighting dwarfs. The fairy-tale sisterhood has been a popular vein to mine in recent movies (Snow White and the Huntsman, Mirror Mirror), and true to contemporary sensibilities, Blancanieves grows up not just beautiful but tough and resourceful enough to take charge of her own life, if not to save it.

Blancanieves swept the Goyas (Spain’s Oscars) with 10 wins, including best picture. Berger directs this retro tour de force with great gusto, and the performances are excellent. Rated PG-13. 105 minutes. Silent film with intertitles. The Screen, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) See review, Page 55.

PERFORMANCE AT THE SCREEN The series of high-definition screenings of performances from afar continues with a showing of Berlioz’s Les Troyens from the Royal Opera House in London.

Eva-Maria Westbroek, Fabio Capitanucci, and Anna Caterina Antonacci star. 11 a.m. Sunday, June 23, only. Not rated. 285 minutes, including two intermissions. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed)

SOMETHING IN THE AIR French director Olivier Assayas offers an account of his youth in 1960s and ’70s France, and while he doesn’t entirely avoid Wonder Years clichés, the director keeps things fresh and lively with a colorful look, an immediacy that makes you feel invested in the action, and his peerless ear for pop music. The story centers on a teenager named Gilles (Clément Métayer) and his group of idealistic friends, who are leaving school and discovering there’s a wider world out there, one where they travel, make love, listen to music, create art, push the boundaries of protest where they can, and fight injustice wherever they see it. The movie goes down easy, even if the results are less robust and memorable than Bernardo Bertolucci’s 2003 look at youth in 1960s Paris, The Dreamers. Not rated. 122 minutes. In French, English, and Italian with subtitles. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) WORLD WAR Z The slow, lurching march of zombie movies continues, as Max Brooks’ bestseller about a global pandemic and the one man (played here by Brad Pitt) who travels the world to stop it arrives on the big screen courtesy of director Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace). Rated PG-13. 115 minutes.

now in theaters AFTER EARTH Will Smith and real-life son Jaden play a father-son astronaut duo who crash-land on a future Earth. The plants and animals of the planet have wisely evolved to hunt and destroy humans, and the son finds himself fighting for his life. Rated PG-13. 100 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) BEFORE MIDNIGHT The third round of the collaboration between director Richard Linklater and stars Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke that began with Before Sunrise (1995) is set at the end of a family vacation in southern Greece. Celine (Delpy) and Jesse (Hawke) have been together for the decade since Before Sunset (2004). Here they drive and talk and walk and talk and make love and talk. All that conversation ebbs and flows through the intimate knowledge two people develop about each other over a long time and the ways they make each other laugh and think and cry and rage. Both actors are as good or better than they have ever been. Rated R. 108 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards)

EPIC This animated Avatar rehash by Ice Age director Chris Wedge is about a teenage girl (voiced by Amanda Seyfried) who is shrunk into a secret forest world where she must join plants and animals against an evil dude (Christoph Waltz). There are no palpable stakes, the dialogue is uninspired, the character animation looks straightto-DVD, Aziz Ansari’s hyper-annoying slug seems forced, and the dichotomy between girly princesses and manly soldiers is so dated that even Disney gave it up decades ago. Rated PG. 103 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) FAST & FURIOUS 6 This franchise, which somehow finds new gears with each installment, is wildly popular, and part six is more of the same. The stunts are Looney Tunes-worthy, the dialogue is hilarious (except for the jokes), and the acting (from Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, and friends) stresses brawn over brains. These are all positive traits.

The problem is that for a movie that hypes speed, the story, in which the gang attempts to take down a terrorist (Luke Evans), downshifts to a crawl in the film’s second half. Rated PG-13. 130 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española; Storyteller, Taos. (Robert Ker)

World War Z

FRANCES HA Writer and director Noah Baumbach’s latest movie, shot digitally in black and white, centers on a 27-year-old woman (Greta Gerwig, who also co-wrote) who is sliding down a rocky road with her struggling dance career and loosening relationships.

Fortunately, her disposition is cheerful and optimistic, and for the most part, so is the film’s mood. Frances Ha nicely captures the awkward plight of those who struggle to find a place in the world and accurately represents floundering in your 20s.

Rated R. 88 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker)

THE INTERNSHIP Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson hope to revisit the success of their hit comedy the Wedding Crashers with this story of two grown men who attempt to jump-start their stalled careers by entering Google’s internship program. As the leads hit the check marks of the “rapscallions teach nerds how to live and prove there is more to achieving success than just brains” story, the film comes off as a sobering look at the state of the economy combined with a two-hour ad for Google. It’s watchable, but it’s rarely funny and often as mediocre as its main characters. Rated PG-13. 120 minutes.

Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker)

THE GREAT GATSBY Baz Luhrmann’s movie rendering of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel is The Great Gatsby the way Jay Gatsby might have directed it. Gaudy, extravagant, and ecstatically excessive, it lights up the screen like a lavish party into which Luhrmann hopes Daisy Buchanan will wander some night — and if not Daisy, then at least the rest of the world, looking for a good time. That is the quality that distinguishes this movie; when it slows down for the more intimate scenes, it usually fails to convince. Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire star. Rated PG-13. 143 minutes.

Screens in 2-D only at Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards)

KON-TIKI The expedition that Thor Heyerdahl and his crew undertook in 1947 to cross the Pacific on a balsa-wood raft was one of the great adventures of modern times. This movie doesn’t rise to those heights, but it has visual grandeur and some exciting scenes at sea. Pål Sverre Hagen plays Heyerdahl, although as the voyage and the movie wear on it’s increasingly difficult to tell the members of the bearded crew apart. The voyage was an unqualified triumph of derring-do, but the scientific community wasn’t swayed. PG-13.

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED Danish director Susanne Bier, who normally deals in bleaker material, has gone all soft and cuddly in this romantic comedy about two lost souls who unite, and in lesser hands the result would probably be insufferably cute. But Bier manages to keep this valentine on a very enjoyable track, helped immeasurably by a fine cast led by Pierce Brosnan and the wonderful Trine Dyrholm. It’s a grown-up film, beautifully photographed at a family wedding on an Amalfi coast, that will make you sing “That’s Amore.” Rated R. 110 minutes. In English, Danish, and Italian with subtitles. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards)

NOW YOU SEE ME First, assemble a highly watchable cast, which includes Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, and Mélanie Laurent. Then roll out a crackerjack setup: four illusionists perform a trick in Las Vegas in which one of their audience members is “teleported” to Paris to rob a bank. As the FBI and an opportunist who exposes magicians’ secrets close in on the illusionists, make every scene interesting in and of itself. Abracadabra! You have a movie that’s wildly entertaining, despite having to cheat to connect all the dots. Rated PG-13. 116 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker)

MAN OF STEEL The big screen has been Kryptonite to Superman — the hero has been thwarted by bad sequels, Hollywood turnaround, and false starts since 1980’s Superman II. Director Zach Snyder (Watchmen) reboots the character from the ground up (no need for a story recap — you know the deal) with help from writers Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer (who teamed up on The Dark Knight). This result is (sometimes too) dark and violent yet promising; it favors a realistic approach that lends a sense of awe to that which is super. With the exception of Henry Cavill, who looks the part but is often too stiff as Superman, the cast — which includes Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, and Kevin Costner — is inspired, none more so than Amy Adams as Lois Lane. Up, up, and away. Rated PG-13. 143 minutes. Screens in 3D and 2D at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española; shows in 2D only at Storyteller, Taos. (Robert Ker) See review, Page 57.

ONE TRACK HEART: THE STORY OF KRISHNA DAS Krishna Das is a yogic chanter with a captivating voice and a larger-than-life personality. In this documentary, director Jeremy Frindel explores every element of the man’s life, from his childhood years in suburban Long Island to the drug experimentation and soul searching that took Das to India in 1970. Frindel keeps things interesting by interviewing a number of high-profile subjects, including Rick Rubin and Ram Dass, and by including archival footage of Hindu guru Maharaj-ji. However, the film misses opportunities to showcase Das’ music at greater length and to explore his admitted inconsistencies more thoroughly and critically. Not rated. 74 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Loren Bienvenu)

MUD Matthew McConaughey is in top form as Mud, an Arkansas Delta backcountry hothead with a ton of charm who enlists a couple of teenage boys (Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland) to help him reunite with his sweetheart (Reese Witherspoon). Meanwhile, the law and the irate father of a man he killed are out looking for him. It’s a colorful tale and a cautionary one. Director Jeff Nichols does a good job with style and character, but he lets the story run on too long and loses the handle at the end. With Sam Shepard and Michael Shannon. Rated PG-13. 130 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards)

PASATIEMPO I June 21-27, 2013

THE PURGE This movie imagines a future America in which peace is kept by giving the population 12 hours a year in which to commit whatever crimes they’ve secretly been wanting to perform on the other 364.5 days. The premise is cynical but has potential — too bad it’s squandered on a typical home-invasion horror story, with the creeping tension swapped out for gunplay. It’s well directed, but the flimsy script hints at moral quandaries that aren’t explored. Rated R. 85 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española; Storyteller, Taos.

(Robert Ker) STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS In the newest Star Trek movie, director J.J. Abrams ups the ante on action and visual effects. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) are at odds after a violation of the Prime Directive and the arrival of a genetically enhanced villain (Benedict Cumberbatch). The film steers the U.S.S. Enterprise in new and exciting directions while exploring themes of unjust war and terrorism. Rated PG-13. 132 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Rob DeWalt) STORIES WE TELL Actress Sarah Polley’s documentary exploration of her family history is better if you

don’t know too much about it. Polley’s mother, Diane, who died of cancer in 1990, when Polley was 11, is the heart of the film, which is primarily constructed through interviews with her friends and family.

Diane emerges as a complicated figure, and there’s no consensus on her character. Stories We Tell is about the Polleys, but it speaks to the mythmaking that occurs in all families. Rated PG-13. 108 minutes.

The Screen, Santa Fe. (Adele Oliveira) THIS IS THE END James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, and Jay Baruchel are holed up in Franco’s mansion when the apocalypse hits during a raging party. These guys aren’t playing characters — they’re playing themselves, often as preening, egotistical jerks. Suffice it to say, the mileage you get out of this comedy will vary depending on how much you like these dudes. The party portion of the movie is much more lively than the lockdown that follows, but there are plenty of laughs and some inspired bits in between the slow stretches. Emma Watson and Michael Cera kill in their cameos, and the cocky, obnoxious McBride pretty much steals the show. Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who collaborated on Superbad and Pineapple Express, co-direct with a light touch; if it looks like a film made by a bunch of buddies trying to crack each other up, that’s because it is. Rated R. 107 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española; Storyteller, Taos. (Robert Ker) TIGER EYES After Davey’s father is killed, her mother moves the family across the country to New Mexico for an extended stay at their aunt and uncle’s house. Judy Blume’s beloved coming-of-age novel was adapted for the screen by the author and her son Lawrence, who also directs. Performances are subtle, and casting is spot-on. The film is set in Los Alamos and Santa Fe, so local actors abound. Rated PG-13. 92 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. ( Jennifer Levin)

The Short Order Odds are, you’re going to feel good about Dr. Field Goods Kitchen, a newish eatery in a strip mall on Cerrillos Road near Jackalope. You might expect that a place with field in its name would be a veggieheavy establishment, and while it’s true that chef Josh Gerwin (formerly of Casa Vieja in Corrales) is dedicated to supporting local farmers and the menu does include dishes for vegetarians and vegans, meat is the heavy hitter here. Even diners with the heartiest of appetites will be hard-pressed to clean their plates. Recommended: green chile patatas bravas, onion rings, Cubano, goat torta, the New Mexican, and the BLT.

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 21-27, 2013

“Really good food brings the community together,” said one of my friends between mouthfuls of barbacoa torta. We were sitting at the hefty wood-topped bar that occupies much of the dining room at Dr. Field Goods Kitchen, a newish eatery in a strip mall near Jackalope. You might expect that a place with the word field in its name would be a veggie-heavy establishment.

While it’s true that chef Josh Gerwin (formerly of Casa Vieja in Corrales) is dedicated to supporting local farmers and producers, and his menu does offer dishes for vegequarians, vegetarians, and vegans, meat is the heavy hitter here.

On the goat torta, barbacoa gets a refreshing, slightly sweet contrast from a crunchy cabbage-apple slaw and some sneaky heat from a creamy, tangy habanero-goatcheese spread. Slaw — this time apple and jicama — shows up again on the New Mexican, a sandwich of tender pulled pork with a deep smokiness and pleasant heat from a picante green chile rub. The Cubano offers a healthy serving of ham, Cuban pork, Swiss cheese, mayo, and the requisite pickles. Calling a dish “bad-ass” on your menu might sound pompous, but Gerwin’s uncommon, indulgent BLT is becoming legendary around town. It’s 9 ounces of ground bacon formed into a concentrated meaty patty, roasted in a wood-fired oven, slathered with mayonnaise (a little too heavily, perhaps), and stacked on a roll with crisp lettuce and plump ripe tomatoes.

Gerwin’s house-made bread accomplishes something rare — it has a crust that crunches under your teeth but then immediately yields its soft, sweet interior, so you’re not required to tug at the bread to force a bite to come away. With all the sandwiches here, even diners with the heartiest of appetites will be hard-pressed to finish half.

One afternoon’s special, Manila clams cooked in sake, butter, and herbs and finished in the wood oven, made me dream of the seaside. The clams were hot and meaty, the broth deliriously rich, mildly bitter, and sweet all at the same time. We sopped up the broth with bites of the tender house-made potato bread and washed it down with a frosty pint glass of ice-cold Andygator — a slightly fruity and sweet doppelbock from Louisiana’s Abita Brewing Company that’s one of the eight rotating beers on tap here.

The veggies are good too. The salad greens are some of the freshest and plumpest I’ve seen in town. Regardless of whether you think onion rings count as a vegetable, try these — thick loops of sweet onion in a thick, nubbly house-made batter. The Field Good potatoes have an almost magical combination of crispy tawny exteriors; fluffy, tender, well-cooked centers; and a near-complete lack of greasiness. When combined with green chile aioli and sharp cheddar in the patatas bravas, they become

a wild spin on green chile cheese fries with an intense garlic flavor, a healthy dose of salt, and just the right amount of heat. By some culinary miracle, the potatoes manage to stay crispy beneath their saucy topping.

The margarita pizza is heavy with boldly colorful, terrifically ripe local tomatoes from Khalsa Greenhouses.

The blisteringly hot wood-burning oven gives the crust those delicious blackened charcoaly spots. While the pizza is crispy around the edges, the center remains soft, chewy, and just a bit too doughy — the mozzarella and all those juicy tomatoes must make it hard to get the thing crisp.

There were some other missteps. Our charred Caesar salad was overdressed to the point of being soupy, and while the salad itself arrived promptly along with the other meals, my fish add-on showed up at least five minutes later. Our veggie arancini were oddly flavorless.

The bean-based patty termed a vegetarian “steak” is overly sweet and not cohesive; and on the afternoon we tried it, it was burnt black on one side. Service is neighborly and friendly, but when things get busy (which is often), the staff can get overwhelmed, and you might start to feel neglected. Music is always playing (reggae or grunge one day, classic rock the next), and while it’s fun, sometimes it’s so loud that it becomes a conversation stifler. Everyone in the kitchen seems to be having fun, though, and once you tuck into your plate of food, I’m betting you will be, too. ◀

THIS Sunday, JunE 23

Building a Better District Construction crews are busy building new schools and renovating existing ones as part of an initiative to ensure that all of the district’s facilities are up to speed when it comes to serving the needs of children. The projects are utilizing money from general-obligation bonds approved by voters in both 2009 and 2013.

Though questions remain about some $35 million in GO bond money allocated toward still-undeveloped highschool reform plans, for the most part proponents believe the money is being well spent and that construction is moving along at an acceptable rate.

See Sunday’s New Mexican for a look at ongoing school-construction projects occurring around town this summer.

As students at Kearny Elementary School put it, hopefully when all is said and done their renovated school “will look like the White House.”

upon us it is time to fertilize vegetables and flowers. Liquid Gro-Power gives results that you can see. Use once a week all summer long for best results. For an all organic fertilizer with equal results use Soil Mender Liquid Fish Fertilizer.

Make sure to keep your flowers dead headed to encourage new blossoms. If you are having problems with rabbits eating all of your hard work, sprinkle blood meal around your gardens and pots every few days.
