WEDNESDAY 16 OCTOBER AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER With the intensity of Virginia Woolf, Kincaid creates a palimpsest of time past, time present and time future . . . Mrs. Sweet in these pages makes a verbal symphony . . . Kincaid’s attempt to capture living itself may just be, as she puts it, ‘always just out of reach,’ but her talent for trying remains palpable on every page . . . Connoisseurs will find it delicious. — Chicago Tribune on See Now Then
Jamaica Kincaid, whose work has been called loosely autobiographical, has said, “Everything I say is true, and everything I say is not true. You couldn’t admit any of it to a court of law. It would not be good evidence.” Her recent novel, See Now Then, chronicles the death of a marriage like a beautiful elegy, where Mr. and Mrs. Sweet’s final years together are anything but. Kincaid immigrated from the West Indies at 17 to New York, where she eventually joined the staff of The New Yorker. Her books explore themes of colonialism and its legacy, and the complex relationships between mothers and daughters. TICKETS ON SALE NOW

On the cOver 38 Moorish fantasy Santa Fe is so obsessed by the Spanish-Pueblo Revival style of brown and round architecture that its use is at the head of a shortlist of required styles in the Historic District. So what explains the Moorish-Revival Scottish Rite building? A century ago, before Spanish-Pueblo Revival became the city’s approved style, the Scottish Rite builders advanced Orientalist Moorish-Revival architecture as appropriate to express Santa Fe’s unique cultural identity, distinct from the California Mission style. On the cover is Jesse L. Nusbaum’s view from the tower of the Scottish Rite building looking south, circa 1912; courtesy Palace of the Governors Photo Archives (NMHM/DCA), Neg. No. 61382.

HEALTH SCREENING
The American Cancer Society recommends that men over 50 have a prostate exam every year. According to medical experts, prostate cancer usually has no early symptoms. Screening programs like those at CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Cancer Center can detect the early stages of prostate cancer. Early detection opens the door to more treatment options.

BRIDGE FAIR Sunday, September 29 1:00 to 4:00
Want to learn to play? Haven’t played in a long time? Meet our instructors and see what lessons we offer.
Send yourself to collections An intriguing variety of art is on display in a trio of exhibitions opening at the New Mexico Museum of Art on Friday, Sept. 20. Two examples of work from these shows illustrate their range: one is a casual-looking watercolor mark on notebook paper by Richard Tuttle, and the other is a layered collage of 26,645 hand-cut, photocopied paper butterflies, stained with tea and coffee, by Tasha Ostrander. The intent of Celebrating Collections, the umbrella title for the multiple exhibitions, is to explore the motives behind collecting from the point of view of both collectors and museums. More than 20 works from the museum’s permanent collection are highlighted in Collecting Is Curiosity/Inquiry, presented by Laura Addison, NMMA’s curator of contemporary art. James Drake and Min Kim Park are among the artists whose work is included. Kate Ware, curator of photography, has put together A Life in Pictures: Four Photography Collections, featuring more than 30 photographs taken between 1865 and 2007. Collector Jane Reese Williams’ fondness for women photographers is seen in her images by the likes of Julia Margaret Cameron and Imogen Cunningham. Other works are drawn from a set of 50 photos — among them images by Berenice Abbott and Frederick Evans — lent to the museum by Gerald G. Stiebel and Penelope Hunter-Stiebel. Wayne R. Lazorik’s collection boasts nearly 100 photographs taken in New Mexico by James Alinder, Kathleen Campbell, and others during the 1970s and 1980s. Finally, there are photographs by artist Joyce Neimanas, along with prints, sculpture, and mixedmedia works from her own collection. The third exhibit in Celebrating Collections is 50 Works for 50 States: New Mexico, presented by Merry Scully, NMMA curator of special projects. Three years ago, Dorothy and Herbert Vogel and the National Gallery of Art, steward of the Vogels’ collection of almost 5,000 works of contemporary art, made gifts of 50 pieces to each state in the Union. This exhibition offers a look at the 50 artworks held by the New Mexico Museum of Art. An opening reception takes place at the museum beginning at 5:30 p.m. The shows are viewable by museum admission (no charge between 5 and 8 p.m. Fridays) and run through early 2014. The New Mexico Museum of Art is at 107 W. Palace Ave. Call 476-5072. — Paul Weideman

STAR CODES
Heather Roan Robbins
Autumn begins as the sun enters Libra at 2:43 p.m. on Sunday. Libra gives us an open mind, melodious words, and a desire to make one another happy. We’ll need every ounce of the Libran smooth talk as the emotional arbiters Venus and Mars square off in strong, obstinate fixed signs, peaking next Friday. Venus, now in Scorpio, loans us a rich curiosity as it brings up our most secretive and primal feelings (which may be seeping into our dreams). Libra wants to share, but Venus in Scorpio would rather we didn’t. Mars, now in Leo, encourages our tendency to make great sweeping statements when we’re challenged or feeling ignored. The weekend begins with a feeling of urgency or excitement under an Aries moon. The moon enters more solid, practical, and romantic Taurus on Saturday. New connections form and old ones strengthen as we help one another. All week we need to direct our imagination with care and work around some confusion caused by misunderstandings, laziness, weather, or water damage as Mercury and the sun challenge intuitive but foggy Neptune. We may get new evidence about our next evolutionary assignment as Pluto turns direct on Friday and sextiles hardworking Saturn. We can look back to some important initiative that we put on hold as Pluto turned retrograde in early April and get ready to finally move forward. Look for all kinds of revelations as Pluto turns direct. Be prepared to deal with infrastructure and foundational work to support the new direction, and feel Saturn’s call for a more mature approach. Friday, Sept. 20: We’re easily excited and cranky under stress. Unexpected events need attention while the restless Aries moon conjuncts Uranus. Keep an eye on long-term goals. Impatience only tightens the knot of misunderstanding. Relax and improvise instead. Saturday, Sept. 21: Exploration and invention nourish the soul this morning. The moon enters sensual and possessive Taurus this afternoon. Notice body language, offer tangible help, and do not play with jealousy. Sunday, Sept. 22: The sun enters Libra at 2:43 p.m. and autumn begins. We may feel old or creaky this morning and need to balance our responsibilities as the moon opposes Saturn. Joints loosen midday and gratitude comes easier. Stay flexible tonight as the moon squares Mars. Monday, Sept. 23: Linger over coffee and then plant the fall crop of ideas and contacts under this fertile Taurus moon. The mood is more unsettled later in the day. Deal with just the moment. Tuesday, Sept. 24: People may have a sparkling but distracted air under a nervy Gemini moon. Quips may carry more sting than we mean them to. Think overview versus detail, dialogue versus lecture. Wednesday, Sept. 25: Energy levels may be low or scattered, though our emotional expectations can be cranked high as Venus approaches a trine with Jupiter. Some relationships resonate with sweet connection; others are tested. Thursday, Sept. 26: Tend to the nest — to issues of home and homelessness. We need to do something with our unsettled, sensitive, and generous hearts and need reassurance about our security as the moon in self-protective Cancer forms a grand trine with Saturn and Neptune. ◀

In Other wOrds book reviews The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America by George Packer, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 434 pages What is the best name for our age of economic free fall and institutional breakdown? We have been offered the Great Reset (too optimistic), the Anthropocene (too epic), the Second Great Depression (too derivative), the Age of Anxiety (too W.H. Auden), and the Great Stagnation (too pessimistic). In his new book, The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America, longtime New Yorker journalist George Packer offers a much more fitting epithet for the results of fast and hard deregulation in this nation since the late 1970s. For Packer, the “unwinding” refers to the breakdown of institutions that once fostered the middle class — schools, banks, unions, parks, pensions, laws, and middle-class mores. “The unwinding brings freedom, more than the world has ever granted ... freedom to go away, freedom to return, freedom to change your story, get your facts, get hired, get fired, get high, marry, divorce, go broke, begin again.” The book is a Greek chorus of an America gone late Roman. Some of the voices in it are familiar, appearing through razor-sharp profiles of the corporate and media elite who exemplify the aspirations of our new Gilded Age — Oprah Winfrey, Newt Gingrich, Jay-Z, Andrew Breitbart, Sam Walton, and Silicon Valley wunderkind Peter Thiel. Yet the real core of this book revolves around Packer’s extensive reporting on three everyday Americans born around 1960. That’s significant, as Packer dates the unwinding to their first years of adulthood in the late 1970s. These individuals’ sense of loss is palpable on each page; so, too, is their resilience in the face of careers and finances that have gone haywire. We learn love and heartbreak from Tammy Thomas, a black middle-class auto-parts-factory worker who watches her job disappear overseas and her fiancé get shot to death, all while the schools and garden-lined homes she grew up with decline because of mortgage scandals and the flight of manufacturing jobs. In her hometown of Youngstown, Ohio, even the stabilizing influence of organized crime has fallen apart. Undaunted by all this, she becomes a community organizer and invests her severance pay in buying and rehabilitating a home in her disintegrating neighborhood. We learn courage from Jeff Connaughton, who strives beyond his humble upbringing in Alabama to seek a career in the federal government. Initially idealistic, he finds that working for senators is seen as merely a steppingstone to making massive corporate money from insider federal contacts. He reads the writing on 16
PASATIEMPO I September 20 -26, 2013
the wall and goes on to rake up cash, spending most of his vital years cycling between work in the financial industry, as a political operative, and as a lobbyist. Exhausted by the system, he effectively blows up his career when the recession hits, writing a tell-all book called The Payoff: Why Wall Street Always Wins (published in 2012). Entrepreneur Dean Price demonstrates a tenacity that verges on a psychological condition as he pursues his dreams of recreating the idyllic country life he knew as a kid in rural North Carolina. He seeks to revitalize the economically distressed Piedmont Valley through a series of failed ventures at produce stands and biodiesel refineries. Price pursues his dream at a price he can scarcely afford, losing his business — and possibly his family — to the avarice of banks. To Packer, these three are not vehicles for his political thoughts but real people whose personal failings are set against a country whose vast recession consumed and spit out human ambition. “In 2010 it was easier living in his imagination of the past and the future than on the stretch of Route 220 that was his life,” Packer writes of Price, “and so there were many calls that went unreturned, pressing matters ignored, reckonings deferred.” Packer fits in a series of vignettes, titled simply “Tampa,” that excavates the Florida mortgage crisis that rendered parts of the real-estate-dependent state post-apocalyptic. He writes of one stalled-out luxury community development called Carriage Pointe, a surreal landscape where drug dealers and stolen goods traffickers use empty vacation homes as warehouses as emaciated cows wander between the properties, themselves victims of a failed homeowner scam to qualify for an agricultural tax break. “Carriage Pointe was supposed to be a little slice of the American dream,” Packer writes, “but it felt like the end of days.” Packer proudly acknowledges the influence of John Dos Passos’ 1930s-era U.S.A. trilogy. In place of those books’ “newsreels” Packer inserts Twitter-like time capsules of song lyrics, quotes, and headlines spanning 1978 to 2012. As an account of work and real estate in our own era, The Unwinding is remarkable. Whether it lives up to its hyperbolic subtitle — An Inner History of the New America — is another matter. Such an account might also take in what Americans find funny, sexy, and newsworthy. It would describe what we would go to war for and what world-historical events we would be content to ignore entirely. As a more limited portrait of how a deregulated economy has made free agents of us all, forcing us to become chameleons in the workplace and shapeshifters even in our social and family lives, it is an unusually earnest and empirical account. “It was easy to overlook this denuded free-market landscape during the long boom years,” Packer writes, “but when the storms blew in and there were no walls to keep out the gale or trees to hold down the eroded earth, everyone howled.” — Casey Sanchez
SubtextS Body language The poems in Joanne Dominique Dwyer’s debut volume of poetry, Belle Laide — which is French for “beautiful ugly” — are rife with adult themes and the studious reflections of a mature poet, perhaps because Dwyer has a lifetime of experience packed into the pieces. Dwyer, a resident of Northern New Mexico, was involved in slam and performance poetry before she delved into the academic writing world, earning a BA in creative writing at the College of Santa Fe and then an MFA from Warren Wilson College in 2009. Her poems have appeared in The American Poetry Review, Spoon River Poetry Review, and Poetry, among other journals, and she has received numerous awards for her writing, including a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award and the Anne Halley Poetry Prize. Poet Tony Hoagland describes Dwyer as a “whirling, Dionysian poet” who “brazenly negotiates with huge tracts of the human condition.” In the poem “Alchemy,” Dwyer writes, “I once told you I like the smell of owl dung/drying in the leaves under the cottonwood trees./On the trail along the railroad tracks/we watched the male mount the female in the dusk.” The stanzas lead to a meditation on the convergence of love, devotion, and our lack of answers when it comes to human motivation. Dwyer is unafraid of the body (and what it excretes) and the power people have over one another. You can read the poems for meaning or sit back and take in the language without feeling pressured to understand how the images she creates connect to one another. Dwyer reads from Belle Laide (published by Sarabande Books) on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 7 p.m., at the O’Shaughnessy Performance Space in Benildus Hall at Santa Fe University of Art and Design (1600 St. Michael’s Drive). The reading is free. Call 473-6011. — Jennifer Levin

TIM DECHRISTOPHER REENVISIONS THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT
AP Photo/Douglas C. Pizac
hen a climate-justice activist appears on The Late Show With David Letterman, does that mean the movement has reached the mainstream? Or does it mean the movement is being repurposed and declawed through familiarization? Tim DeChristopher, the activist in question, believes that either way, fundamental changes are necessary regarding the way groups and individuals confront climate change — especially since 2009, when Congress failed to pass an overarching cap-and-trade plan to control carbon emissions. At that time, DeChristopher was dealing with another problem, legal fallout stemming from an impromptu act of civil disobedience. The year before, in 2008, DeChristopher had disrupted a BLM land auction in Utah by spontaneously bidding on large parcels, eventually winning
18
THIS IS NOT GOING AWAY PASATIEMPO I ????????? ?? -??, 2013
leases to more than 22,000 acres near Arches and Canyonlands national parks. His motives — not to actually purchase the parcels but to keep them from falling into the hands of oil and gas companies — were discovered, and in the resulting tumult the auction was rescheduled, only to be canceled altogether by Ken Salazar, President Obama’s then newly appointed interior secretary. Salazar said that the previous administration had tried to rush the auction during its final days in office without conducting the necessary environmental reviews. Despite the cancellation, DeChristopher was indicted in 2009 and sentenced to two years in prison in 2011. He was released in April 2013 and soon embarked on a speaking tour (including the Letterman appearance) to promote Peaceful Uprising, his nonprofit organization, and Bidder 70, a documentary film about his actions. On Tuesday, Sept. 24, Bidder 70 shows at The Screen, accompanied by a Q & A with filmmakers Beth and George Gage. DeChristopher speaks the following evening, Wednesday, Sept. 25, at the Lensic Performing Arts Center, along with activist Terry Tempest Williams. That event is part of the Lannan Foundation’s In Pursuit of Cultural Freedom series. This month DeChristopher began a three-year program at Harvard Divinity School. Speaking from Cambridge, Massachusetts, he explained his decision to step away from the lecture circuit and return to school. “I’ve grown disillusioned with professional activism, in that it felt like it really funneled people into a very narrow focus on a small slice of an issue. And I thought I was better at looking at things holistically and articulating a bigger vision. I saw there was more of an outlet for that in the ministry rather than an NGO or something like that. And I also saw that our movement, and I think the Left in general, is kind of at a point where we’ve got to go deeper. We need to reconnect with our shared progressive values and strengthen our faith in our shared moral authority.” He said his disenchantment was rooted less in his own personal struggle than in the 2009 failures of the environmental movement, narrowing down those failures into three categories. First he identified a mistaken reliance on political strategies rather than social movement strategies: “For a long time the environmental movement was using the playbook of corporate lobbyists on how to effect change. Lobbying is what you do with political power, and a lot of organizations were going through the motions of that without having ever gained political power. So they were using an empty tool.” He pointed out that many professional lobbying organizations have millions of dollars at their disposal and decades of experience. In his opinion, it is impossible to compete with these groups, and the effort to do so has disappointed some members of the environmental coalition, especially those in the younger generation. “We are people outside of the power structure,” he said, transitioning to the second failure of the pre-2010 movement: appeasement strategies. Previous activists “were trying to work with corporations and make the movement as nonthreatening as possible for people at the top of the structure. A lot of big green groups were pushing the vision that we can have a cleaner, greener world but keep everything else about our society the same. And there were lots of groups who didn’t find that an appealing message — groups for whom the status quo has never worked — so they were largely excluded by that strategy of appeasing those in power.” The final failure he identified involves those who act or speak out only to preserve their own comfort. “It’s really hard to change the world when your first priority is making sure the world around yourself doesn’t change. Something that has been a burden for the environmental movement is its privileged membership, which by and large isn’t really interested in risking much.” Although DeChristopher’s critiques of the movement seem rooted in pessimism, he does offer several insights as to how progress can be achieved. He thinks that confrontational strategies, modeled on past social movements, offer a higher likelihood of success than lobbying does. He defends his own act of nontraditional and nonviolent protest as being an extreme response demanded by an extreme situation. So a prime goal of Peaceful Uprising has been “getting more environmental leaders to understand civil disobedience and go beyond the photo-op style, sterile approach, to more confrontational civil disobedience involving genuine risk instead of just perceived risk.” Because DeChristopher considers the failures of 2009 to be a tipping point in the fight for climate justice, he sees a bright side to the failure of appeasement strategies: members of his movement have been forced to leave behind any lingering propensities to reverse climate change and instead must focus on how to deal with its inevitable repercussions. “For us, the status quo is no longer an option. We’re past that point, so we know we’ll have to let go and face an uncertain
future. But we face the choice of how we want to navigate that period of change and where we want to end up, and in a way that’s more liberating.” DeChristopher said that abandoning attempts to maintain the status quo has made the task of alliance building easier and more fruitful. No longer does the environmental movement seem limited to a privileged class, which is especially important because climate and environmental crises often disproportionately affect impoverished and minority groups. “As our challenge is getting bigger and broader, our movement is getting broader as well. It’s in that period of transition where we’re making a lot more connections and building more bridges to other social justice issues and connecting climate change to other issues going on. And to me that’s one of the most positive things that’s been happening over the last few years.” A concrete example of this alliance building is Peaceful Uprising’s main campaign at the moment, which is directed at preventing tar sands mining in Utah (and in the United States as a whole). The organization has achieved coalition support with the Lakota people of South Dakota, who have been protesting tar sands mining through a campaign called Moccasins on the Ground. The group’s use of direct-action civil disobedience (such as on-site occupations) speaks to DeChristopher’s belief that confrontational strategies are more relevant today, especially for groups that traditionally have been marginalized. At the same time, he still believes in the power of discussion. This is why he booked the Lannan Foundation speaking engagement with Williams, an academic and activist who has written more than 15 books, ranging from environmental criticism to poetry. Though the two have conversed together over a period of several years, this is their first time doing so in a public forum. Whether their conversation focuses on the environmental movement’s past failures and future possibilities remains to be seen. DeChristopher said, “She always seems to invite me to think about an issue that I never have before, and so I always end up going to new places in my mind when I’m discussing things with her and thinking about things from a different perspective. So I think there will be a good deal of spontaneity with what happens in Santa Fe, and certainly some things that will surprise even me.” ◀

TERRELL’S TUNE-UP Steve Terrell
Seminal punk by the bucketload Back in the late ’70s and early ’80s, when The Clash was a living band — “The Only Band That Matters,” according to the hype — you never would have guessed that they would be joining Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and The Beach Boys as one of the most repackaged, rereleased, reissued, and recycled musical acts of the last 25 years. Indeed, Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, and Paul Simonon seemed the very embodiment of rock ’n’ roll rebellion, combining the passion of protest music with the crazy fire of punk rock, colored by the righteous rage of reggae. But its true, even though The Clash’s discography is modest compared with those others. In its career, The Clash only made six albums (though London Calling was a double record and Sandinista! contained three LPs). Even so, it seems every time you turn around, there’s a new Clash compilation or box set popping up. There was The Story of The Clash Vol. 1, a double CD set from 1988; Clash on Broadway, an impressive three-CD set released in 1991; and The Singles, just one disc, from the same year. Skip ahead to 2003 and you’ll find the double-disc The Essential Clash. In 2006 there appeared another collection called The Singles, a box set with replicas of every commercially released single as well as a stray EP. And now, in the second week of September, come three more. There’s The Clash Hits Back, a doubledisc collection based on a set list from a July 1982 show in Brixton. (It’s not the concert itself. These are the studio versions of the songs played there, plus a bunch of bonus songs.) There’s a compilation called The Clash 5 Studio Album Set (absent is the band’s much-reviled final album from 1985, Cut the Crap, made after Mick Jones was kicked out of the band); and then there is the massive 11-CD-plus-a-DVD Sound System, which includes all the albums (again, minus Cut the Crap) plus a deluge of non-album singles, songs from EPs, live material, demos, outtakes, and oddities, including some tunes I’d never
20
PASATIEMPO I September 20 -26, 2013
heard before like “The Beautiful People Are Ugly Too” and “Idle in Kangaroo Court” (both outtakes from what would become the album Combat Rock). Sound System is selling for $177 and change at Amazon ($100 for the MP3 version of the songs). All these new products strike me as serious overkill. I can’t help but imagine Strummer rolling over in his grave at the idea of such an expensive extravaganza with his band’s name on it.
It tugs at my conscience that there are bored kids in the U.S.A. who have never heard ‘I’m So BoredWith the U.S.A.’ And yet, I also worry about the fact that, despite the endless stream of Clash compilations, there are those who never knew the pleasures of “White Riot” or “London’s Burning” or “This Is Radio Clash” or even “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” It tugs at my conscience that there are bored kids in the U.S.A. who have never heard “Im So Bored With the U.S.A.” So if these new Clash products stir up some attention for this glorious band and help lead new generations to them then heap on the hype. Kids, heed the call and pick up a copy of The Clash Hits Back (truly a bargain at $10) or better yet, the Clash’s first, selftitled album, Give ’Em Enough Rope, and/or London Calling, and prepare for revelation. Listening to several hours of The Clash in preparation for this column inspired me to compile a couple of lists. Clash covers: a magnificent seven (and no, The Clash’s song of that title was not a cover of the Elmer Bernstein Western theme). 1. “I Fought the Law.” The original was by The Bobby Fuller Four, written by Sonny Curtis, one of Buddy Holly’s Crickets. Fuller’s version is great, but The Clash actually topped it. The refrain is the same: “I fought the law and the law won.” But Strummer and crew sound like they want a rematch. 2. “English Civil War.” This is a blazing update of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home,” which was written during the American Civil War by bandleader Patrick Gilmore, an Irish immigrant. According to the Library of Congress’ online Performing Arts Encyclopedia, Gilmore wrote the song in 1863, when he was posted at occupied New Orleans, serving as a Grand Master of the Union Army, with the duty of reorganizing the state military bands. Though “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” was an upbeat “support the troops” song that became popular in both the North and South, ▼
its melody is based on an old Irish anti-war protest song, “Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye,” which is as mournful as The Clash’s mutation of the song is ferocious. 3. “Brand New Cadillac.” First recorded by British rockabilly Vince Taylor in 1959, one of my favorite versions is the rockabilly/swing cover by Wayne Hancock. 4. “Junco Partner.” This is a New Orleans staple about a junkie who was “knocked-out loaded,” first recorded by James Waynes in 1951, though I’ve always been partial to the Professor Longhair version. 5. “Police and Thieves.” One of several reggae songs The Clash covered, this was first recorded by Jamaican reggae singer Junior Murvin a year or so before The Clash included it on its first album. Murvin’s version is much slower and featured falsetto vocals. Apparently the Jamaican was not happy with the cover by these upstart punks. His reaction was reportedly, “They have destroyed Jah work!” 6. “Wrong ’Em Boyo.” This was a rewrite of a song — “Wrong Emboyo” by a Jamaican band called The Rulers — which in turn was drawn from the classic early-1900s outlaw ballad “Stagger Lee.” Both The Rulers and The Clash start out with a verse that sounds like Lloyd Price’s hit R & B version of the song. 7. “The Man in Me.” Bob Dylan did this on his 1971 album New Morning. The Clash’s lo-fi, reggaefied version wasn’t released until 2004 as part of “The Vanilla Tapes,” an old reel of demos that became Disc 2 of the 2004 London Calling 25thanniversary reissue. I’ll admit this isn’t in the same stratosphere as any of the previous covers. I include it just to show the range of The Clash’s influences. My favorite versions of Clash songs by other artists. 1. “Rock el Casbah” by Rachid Taha. Algerian-born singer Taha’s take on “Rock the Casbah” is sung in Arabic and is even heavier on percussion than The Clash’s original. 2. “Lost in the Supermarket” by The Afghan Whigs (from Burning London: The Clash Tribute). This soulful take with Gregg Dulli on lead vocals and Harold Chichester doing a trademark falsetto response, was the best track on this various-artists album. 3. “Train in Vain” by Dwight Yoakam. This is bluegrass Clash! And yes, that’s Dr. Ralph Stanley himself playing banjo and singing on a Clash song. 4. and 5. “Should I Suck or Should I Blow” by Thee Stash. This is actually a parody of the Clash hit by an ad hoc Billy Childish band in the early ’90s. Childish was angry that a Clash song was being used in a Levi’s commercial. The flip side of this single showed Childish wasn’t so bored with Clash parodies. It was titled “We’re Selling Jeans for the U.S.A.” ◀

But Lage never (a 2009 live performance just released on CD by MDR), and Mendelssohn’s overstates the music.

The title role is especially amazing in duet, but add this fierce “rhythm section” and alluring, entrusted to sultry-voiced Anna Franziska Srna, and you have a real listen. On the leader’s Spanish-flavored Dominique Horwitz makes a terrifying Creon. You may skip “Remember Tano,” Colley and Sanchez support Burton’s through strictly spoken passages if you insist, but some wonderful runs and minor-key accents with a slow pulse of the impact of Mendelssohn’s music comes from how Gilad Hekselman’s trio of lightly groaning bass tones and military-march-like elegantly it interweaves with the drama.

Add saxophonist Mark material that is a bit too gimmicky (as with the S&M yuks of “Meat and Turner, as happens here on several of the 13 cuts, and Hekselman has a Potatoes”) and a number of songs by Stevie Jackson, who is an excellent foil worthy of his ambitious, involved phrasing. “Above” is a delicate musician but an inferior singer and songwriter to B&S’s regular frontman, Stuart Murdoch. There’s also some of the band’s wobbly toe dance of two-note phrases played in unison by bass and guitar attempts to stretch its muscles, as with the samba of “Love on the with Hekselman providing descending backing lines.

ON STAGE Calling all Renaissance men (and fair ladies of the realm)
Hear ye! Hear ye! The Santa Fe Renaissance Fair offers far more than just rapier dueling, falcon watching, turkey-leg eating, Celtic gaming, and surreptitious iPhone checking (from under one’s coat of mail). There is also music, dance, and acrobatics. Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 21 and 22 feature two full days of performance on multiple stages. Highlights include Balkan music by Rumelia, flamenco from Familia Chuscales y Mina Fajardo, Middle Eastern music from Sadaqah, and performances by the Clan Tynker. The grounds at El Rancho de las Golondrinas (334 Los Pinos Road, 471-2261) are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. Admission is $10 (discounts available); children 12 and under get in for free. The fair also has vendors from across the land offering period food and drink, so relax with a flagon of wine and then head to the Field of Champions to behold jousting by the Order of Epona.— L.B.
Miles replugged
Kind of Blue may be the bestselling jazz album of all time, but Miles Davis was never one to rest on his laurels. The trumpeter is often quoted as saying, “Always look ahead, never look back.” Now, roughly 40 years after one of the most misunderstood periods in his varied career — the electric, large-group experimentations of the 1970s — a coalition of intrepid Santa Fe musicians is looking back and interpreting material from the classic Davis albums Bitches Brew and Get Up With It. The personnel for the one-night only show, Electric Miles IV, includes Peter Breslin (arrangements and percussion), Dave Wayne (drums), Milton Villarrubia III (drums and electronics), Dan Pearlman (trumpet), Gary Yamane (saxophones), Mark Weaver (trombone and tuba), Robert Muller (keyboards), Ross Hamlin (guitar), Sean Buckley (guitar), and Jeremy Bleich (bass). The concert is at Santa Fe University of Art and Design’s O’Shaughnessy Performance Space (1600 St. Michael’s Drive, 473-6011), at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20. It’s $10 at the door. — L.B.
THIS WEEK
Friday flutation
Every Friday afternoon the First Presbyterian Church (208 Grant St.) offers a new installment of its TGIF series, at which music lovers may bring their workweek to an end by gathering for a halfhour of classical music. This week’s offering, on Friday, Sept. 20, from 5:30 to 6 p.m., features flutist Linda Marianiello and organist Maxine Thévenot (pictured). Marianello spearheaded the New Mexico Performing Arts Society, which is the parent organization of the New Mexico Bach Society; formerly she played as principal for the Bavarian State Opera and the Munich Radio Orchestra. Thévenot’s professional workload includes serving as music director of several organizations, among them the Sangre de Cristo Chorale, the vocal ensemble Polyphony: Voices of New Mexico, and the Cathedral Church of St. John in Albuquerque (where she is also the organist). Their program comprises a work by New Mexico composer Mary Lynn Place Badarak (director of Santa Fe Music Works) and Bach’s Sonata in A Major for Flute and Obbligato Keyboard (BWV 1032). There is no charge for the concert, but donations are appreciated. Call 982-8544, Ext. 16. — J.M.K.
Sand waves: The Surf Lords
Even though summer already feels like a distant memory, Cowgirl BBQ is giving the season an official farewell party on Saturday, Sept. 21. Setting the mood is Albuquerque’s The Surf Lords. The group includes musicians and dancers who have been proving since 2001 that even the landlocked Southwest can revel in the sounds of California beach music. And though it’s been half a century since the classic instrumental surf ballad “Pipeline” cracked the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100, that song is standard repertoire for The Surf Lords, who fill out their sets with modern material as well — they are known for mixing things up with “creepy danceable versions of current songs.” The music kicks off at 8:30 p.m. at 319 Guadalupe St. (no cover) on what could very well be the only day of the year that Cowgirl sells more daiquiris than margaritas.

ART OF SPACE
Paul Weideman By Natives, for Natives
The range of traditional American Indian housing types includes multistory adobe dwellings, hogans, tepees, wickiups, the residential earthworks of the mound builders, the enormous wood houses of the Wakeshan people of Vancouver Island, and the cedar-planked, shed-roof houses of the Makah people in Neah Bay, Washington. Those Makah structures no longer exist. The people were forced by missionaries and government agents to pull most of them down a century ago, and the obliteration was completed by the U.S. military during World War I. However, some of the tribe’s new buildings honor what was lost. One that is highlighted in New Architecture on Indigenous Lands (University of Minnesota Press) is the Makah Cultural and Research Center designed by Fred Bassetti and Company Architects, Seattle, and Canadian designer Jean Jacques André. It houses many of the 55,000 artifacts that were buried in a mudslide more than 500 years ago and then uncovered by tidal erosion in 1970. The building is of traditional red cedar, including in the horizontal planks that recall a Makah meetinghouse of old. The book’s authors are Joy Monice Malnar, associate professor of architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, and Frank Vodvarka, professor of fine arts at Loyola University, Chicago. The two previously collaborated on The Interior Dimension: A Theoretical Approach to Enclosed Space and Sensory Design. Their interest in the indigenous-lands project stemmed from a 2004 road trip along the Pacific Coast. They were particularly inspired during visits to Makah country and to the Hupa and Yurok reservations in California. “Exciting things are happening,” they report in the introduction, “especially since responsibility for new construction has increasingly been turned over to tribal authorities.” One example of this is the pavilion at New Mexico’s Bosque Redondo Memorial, designed by David N. Sloan (Navajo), which incorporates the forms of the Navajo hogan and Mescalero Apache tepee. Another is the Santa Ana Tribal Government Complex by Thomas E. Coppedge of Weller Architects, Albuquerque.
The firm, led by Louis L. Weller (Caddo-Cherokee), specializes in “unique and culturally sensitive design issues related to indigenous peoples.” A dominant feature of the Santa Ana building is a central round form that easily brings to mind a kiva, the traditional Pueblo ceremonial space.
S
culptor George Rivera, who is now the governor of Pojoaque Pueblo, started thinking about the need for a cultural center and museum in 1987. Its missions would be cultural preservation, arts training, and revitalization. The preliminary plan was drawn up by the Santa Fe architectural firm McHugh, Lloyd & Tryk, but the tribal council ultimately formed its own construction company, Pojoaque Pueblo Construction Services Corporation. The design and construction of the Poeh Cultural Center and Museum complex was completed by that company’s chief, Joel McHorse Sr. (Pojoaque), Rivera, architect Dennis Holloway, and Vernon Lujan (Taos/Tesuque). The center incorporates classrooms; pottery, jewelry, and sculpture studios; the museum; administrative offices; and the iconic, four-story adobe tower, all arranged around plazas in traditional Pueblo fashion. State-of-the-art lighting, heating, and humidity-control facilities are hidden away in a basement, where they don’t interfere with the aesthetics of the interior spaces, including spruce, Douglas fir, and pine ceiling beams. “It’s today’s technology, but the core and the base is Pueblo culture: stone, mud, and wood,” Rivera told the authors. Architect Douglas Cardinal (Blackfoot-Métis) is known for often employing a “centroidal” design approach. It’s evident in the 1973 Rossignol School in Île à la Crosse, Saskatchewan. He sited the classrooms in a trio of dodecahedral buildings around a central common area. The circular design — which was shaped with a high level of participation by students, parents, and faculty — “dispels the feeling of helplessness, of aloneness, of being boxed in,” according to a local evaluation made shortly after the school’s completion. In The Architecture of Douglas Cardinal, Trevor Boddy writes that many of Cardinal’s buildings “employ landscape and geological imagery and metaphors” rather than the more common historical references. His design for the First Nations University of Canada in Regina is described as a “four-story building that faces south in a semicircular design that, like the Sundance Lodge, embraces the sun’s warmth and light and signifies that all beings are connected.” Incidentally, this building’s rounded forms resemble the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., which features design elements by Cardinal as well as by Johnpaul Jones (Cherokee-Choctaw), Donna House (Diné/Oneida), and Santa Fe’s Ramona Sakiestewa (Hopi). The authors address European-oriented biases in their discussion of new architecture on indigenous lands. “Central continued on Page 28

Art of Space, continued from Page 26 to the western position is the assumption that the traditions of indigenous peoples — indeed, traditions generally — produce a narrow range of design possibilities,” they write. “Unfortunately, western-trained architects who have been commissioned to design for these cultures have often had difficulty in departing from design assumptions based on essentially abstract criteria. One obvious solution — seldom relied upon historically — would be to include the culture concerned in the design process itself.” That’s certainly not a stretch, since the architect is designing for the community. Antoine Predock of Albuquerque did just that with the Indian Community School of Milwaukee. Designed with consultant Chris Cornelius (Oneida), it features a “flying origamic copper roof” on the two-story sections and limestone-block walls. Steel supporting columns were disguised by wrapping them with halved and hollowed-out tree trunks, “with proper ceremonies and blessing,” according to Cornelius. “The thing we tried to do here was to think about what the cultural values are and translate them into architecture.” Not easy, especially since the program called for avoiding iconography relating to the students’ 11 tribal affiliations. “Some people have a bit of a hard time when they look at this building; they ask why it is really Indian, until you start to talk about it ... ultimately it does not have any resonance with the culture unless it is experiential,” Cornelius said.
O
ne of the projects highlighted by the authors addressed a critical housing problem at Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo. The community’s leaders knew from experience that relying on federal funding often resulted in buildings that were not only substandard but nontraditional; in fact, federal policy calls for subdivision-style homes spaced at least 100 feet apart, quite different from the traditional homes in the pueblo. Ohkay Owingeh Housing Authority director Tomasita Duran sought input on a new housing project from community elders. Architect Jamie Blosser relates that meetings were held with Pueblo storytellers and tribal leaders to hear what it was like growing up in the old pueblo. “We also asked the people attending the meetings about their values: family, social, and spiritual. We asked what materials were important to them and how their homes could support their lifestyles.” Blosser, who is with Atkin Olshin Schade Architects, Philadelphia and Santa Fe, came to the project courtesy of the Enterprise Foundation’s Frederick P. Rose Architectural Fellowship. Her accomplishments include forming a planning committee and obtaining a grant to do a long-range master plan, which was completed by Moule Polyzoides Architects and Urbanists, based in Pasadena, California. The program’s first project, Tsigo bugeh Village, was completed in 2003. It consists of 40 housing units, both market-rate and affordable, arranged around a plaza. Winner of a 2004 EPA National Award for Smart Growth Achievement, it is lauded as a model of culturally appropriate, affordable design. That success was an impetus for an adjunct project involving the rehabilitation of old, existing homes on the centuries-old pueblo. Shawn Evans, another Atkin Olshin Schade associate, put together a set of historicpreservation guidelines that have been employed on the house renovations. Blosser expanded on the type of work done at Ohkay Owingeh when she founded the Sustainable Native Communities Collaborative. There is nothing in New Architecture on Indigenous Lands about the recent buildings at the Santa Fe Indian School and the Institute of American Indian Arts, presumably because those campuses are not on Native lands. Douglas Cardinal was hired to do the master plan for the IAIA campus, but it was only vaguely followed — in part because of budget constraints, according to the school’s archivist, Ryan Flahive. In 1999, project coordinator Paul Fragua ( Jemez) told Pasatiempo that the school had in mind “to incorporate Native elements such as man’s relationship to the earth and the universe. So you see the central plaza and radiating outward from the center point of the plaza, concentric circles, like a stone dropped in a pond. The rings show up in the buildings and the curved wall then out to a larger one of the sacred peaks in the distance. It reflects the IAIA program radiating out to Santa Fe and the world.” The IAIA Lifelong Education Conference & Residence Center (2007) and Science & Technology and Sculpture & Foundry buildings (2010) were designed by the Native American-owned Dyron Murphy Architects, Albuquerque. Among the dozens of other fascinating projects that are treated in New Architecture on Indigenous Lands are the straw-bale Hopi Nation Elder Homes in northern Arizona, the Oneida Maple Sugar Camp in Wisconsin, the Oujé-Bougoumou Village in Quebec, and an eagle sanctuary at the Pueblo of Zuni. ◀ Top to bottom, Poeh Cultural Center and Museum, Pueblo of Pojoaque complex; Diné College, west classroom side, Shiprock; U’mista Centre, Alert Bay, British Columbia

Radius Books combines art, design, and public giving
If artists are doing something more out of the box, something really interesting and engaging with their work, that may present a risk that for-profit publishers can’t take. It might work well, but it might be disastrous. I’d rather take that risk not dependent on the sale of the book to survive. — Radius publisher and creative director David Chickey
hotographer Betsy Karel’s colorful new collection Conjuring Paradise from Santa Febased Radius Books engages more than just the eyes. Inside are photos of the resorts and tropical pleasures of Hawaii, taken with a 5-ounce digital camera. One is of a woman in a patterned bathing suit, wearing a translucent blue shower cap, half submerged in a swirling paint pot of pool water. Another shows a dachshund standing watch, front and center, on a schooner with relaxed young people in swimsuits and elderly people in the unfocused distance behind them. In a more cryptic picture, tanned arms extend from a tropical-themed Hawaiian shirt to deal Tarot cards. The photo series began as a document of Karel’s trip to Waikiki with her husband after it was discovered that he had cancer. The volume is prefaced by a poem from Kay Ryan, a former U.S. poet laureate, which includes the line — “the randomness of loss” — that seems to speak to the notion of paradise as well as to Karel’s ill-fated husband. The book’s dust jacket is sea-blue acetate, a soft plastic that gives the volume the feel and smell of an inflatable pool toy. Taken as a whole — poem, pictures, dust
jacket — the publication creates an experience that transcends the usual art book. Karel is one of 50-some artists scheduled to attend the publisher’s sixth-year celebration at the Santa Fe Farmers Market Pavilion in the Railyard on Saturday, Sept. 21. Others who will be there include Charles Arnoldi, Sam Abell, Barbara Bosworth, Ed Moses, Judy Tuwaletstiwa, and Mark Klett. The event features a pop-up bookstore for purchasing Radius titles, short video presentations of the artists discussing their work, and a silent auction of artists’ hand-made books. Design often sets Radius publications apart from the usual illustrated books. They almost always bring together words and images in unique ways and occasionally come in unusual packages. A collection of work by Arnoldi is housed in a wooden box and has a foreword by architect Frank Gehry. Justin Kimball’s Pieces of String, a book of photos of still lifes found or assembled from estate-auction items, comes in a hinged, three-sided, fold-open cover held together with a thick rubber band. The cover contains a pamphlet with an essay titled “stuff” on the value and meaning of personal possessions written by Kimball’s brother Douglas, an estate auctioneer. Sharon Harper’s oversized From
Above and Below, featuring images of the sun, moon, and stars, peers into space through time-lapse photography and magnification, its black-of-night cover smeared with intersecting patches of color dotted with starry orbs and moon phases. The two essays that front the collection discuss the transmission of reality, as suggested by poet Paul Valéry, through photography and the way photos can capture visions that we might otherwise be incapable of seeing. “We’re creating a world for the reader to explore,” said David Chickey, Radius’ publisher and creative director. “As a designer, I like to push boundaries and make things that are different. But I don’t believe in design for design’s sake. What we do has to make sense with what the artist makes. Books give us an amazing opportunity to do something really interesting and complementary to help the reader understand the artist better. It’s a great platform for experimenting and expanding, illuminating the work.” Text is often an important part of the package. “I come to this as a reader, someone who loves and appreciates great writing. Specifically with art books, if we can work continued on Page 32

spreads an understanding and appreciation of art. It also endeavors to circulate its books to art colleges and universities, public schools, and libraries, including the Albuquerque Bernalillo County public libraries and the Distribution to Underserved Communities Library Program. Radius is a New Mexico 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. It gives away some 300 copies of each of its publications to deserving institutions, roughly 25,000 over its six-year history, according to Chickey. “We place books all over the country. It’s a wonderful way to get very specific, specialized books on art to a very broad audience.” Placing the books in the right hands is not as easy as just giving them away. “We’ve built a network of places that receive our books, and we continue to refine the list. It’s a real mix of local and regional public libraries, as well as colleges and school programs, some 500 different institutions. The list is larger than our ability to give to every one of them. And you have to build a relationship with them, to find out what they want and what works well with them. For example, not every one of our books is appropriate for younger students. But we have a number of books that work great for grammar-school aged kids.” Chickey studied art history at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and followed up at the University of Sussex in England. He worked at Sotheby’s in London briefly before coming to Santa Fe, where he spent time at Allene Lapides Gallery and as the board chair for the Center for Contemporary Arts. Along with book designer David Skolkin, Chickey founded Skolkin + Chickey design studio in 2003 (Skolkin also assists in production for Radius). They’ve done design work for a variety of publishers and organizations including Abrams, Verso Editions, the Museum of New Mexico Press, and Aperture. As their design business grew, they also wanted to find a way
to make art that, as Radius’ mission statement says, “creates and promotes an ongoing dialogue among writers, thinkers, artists, and all members of society.” Skolkin said that “it’s a certain publishing philosophy, both in who you choose to publish and how you present their work. The design is unique and high quality. Then the idea is to get the work to an audience that might not otherwise see it.” Working as a nonprofit gives Radius certain advantages, Chickey said. “A for-profit publisher, of course, has to be concerned with the bottom line. The economics of that means that publishers are always trying to find the biggest market they can find, do what they can to go beyond the usual art market to find as broad an audience as possible. That’s not consistent with what we do. If artists are doing something more out of the box, something really interesting and engaging with their work, that may present a risk that for-profit publishers can’t take. It might work well, but it might be disastrous. I’d rather take that risk not dependent on the sale of the book to survive.” So far, those risks have paid off. Radius Books has twice made the American Institute of Graphic Arts’ “50 Books/50 Covers” list, and sales of out-of-print editions, according to Chickey, are going for “ridiculous amounts.” “Radius is the convergence of a couple ideas,” Chickey said. “Yes, we do unique book design. But the biggest element of our work is the donation program. Having the books in the right hands is important to us.” ◀

Orientalism in Santa Fe
S
anta Fe is famous for its brown and round Spanish-Pueblo Revival architecture, epitomized by structures like the Palace of the Governors portal and Cristo Rey Church. But the city is also peppered with buildings in other historical styles, from Territorial-style structures inspired by 19thcentury neo-Classicism to Craftsman-style bungalows. But perhaps the most striking building in Santa Fe’s historic districts is the Scottish Rite Center, a fine example of Moorish Revival architecture. This building is evidence of a deep and enduring interest in the Orient, wherever one chooses to locate it — from southern Spain and North Africa to the Middle East and East Asia. Did you ever wonder why there is a copy of a famous second-century A.D. seated Buddha from Mathura, India, chained to the fence of Serets on Sandoval Street? And why is the Orientalist fantasy hotel the Inn of the Five Graces such a popular lodging choice for visitors? Does Santa Fe have more Buddhist centers per capita than any other U.S. city? What about yoga studios? As Richard Francaviglia notes in Go East, Young Man: Imagining the American West as the Orient (2011), almost from the beginning of the European invasions of the Americas more than 500 years ago, newcomers used oriental imagery, stories, and frames of reference to describe and explain the people, places, and landscape of the “New World.” The native peoples of the Americas were often equated with the Islamic Moors, who ruled much of Spain for 700 years until the final capitulation of Granada to King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabel in 1492. Apart from the large number of words of Arabic origin in Spanish (including albóndiga, adobe, almohada, and Guadalupe), Islamic influence can be clearly traced in the art and architecture of Spain and its former overseas colonies. Examples of Moorish or mudejar elements in Spanish colonial arts include elements like tile work, ceramics, and complex wooden ceilings in the artesonado style. Some early Mexican churches built for the natives, like San José de los Naturales in Mexico City and the Capilla Real in Cholula, were even modeled after Spanish hypostyle mosques, such as the famous example at Córdoba. The argument was that the natives were pagans, like the Moors, and as such, they might relate to Christianity better if they could worship in religious spaces used by the non-Christians most familiar to the Spanish. All pagans are the same anyway, right?
When Americans from the eastern U.S. began settling in the Southwest and far West in the wake of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), not only did they consider the Mexican and Native peoples foreign, but the landscape, too, was alien. The deserts reminded many immigrants of the Holy Land. Francaviglia’s book has a whole chapter on the Orientalist lenses the Mormons wore as they set out to colonize what later became Utah. Many Southwestern people were dark-skinned, like Arabs, and some, like the Navajos, were even nomadic or semi-nomadic. The Spanish colonial and northern Mexican architecture, constructed of adobe bricks, was also exotic, and brought to mind buildings in north Africa, Egypt, and the Middle East, or at least descriptions of such structures in romantic literature like The Thousand and One Nights.
T
he modern phase of Orientalism in Santa Fe, as displayed in the Scottish Rite building, began a century ago and is connected to the genesis of the Pueblo Revival style. Much has been written about how this style came to be closely identified with the image of Santa Fe, most notably in Chris Wilson’s The Myth of Santa Fe: Creating a Modern Regional Tradition (1997) and the biographies of the most significant proponents of the architectural style, Carl D. Sheppard’s Creator of the Santa Fe Style: Isaac Hamilton Rapp, Architect (1988), and Bainbridge Bunting’s John Gaw Meem: Southwestern Architect (1983). As recounted by Wilson, at the turn of the 20th century, many people associated New Mexico with the greater Hispanic Southwest and with the California Mission style of architecture. Buildings that looked like Pueblo Indian dwellings or Ancestral Puebloan ruins were constructed both in the Southwest and elsewhere, such as for the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago (1893). Mary Coulter’s Hopi House at the Grand Canyon (1904) was modeled after the Hopi village of Old Oraibi and actually built by Hopis. In Morley, Colorado, Rapp designed a warehouse for the Colorado Supply Company (1908) that used elements from the San Estevan del Rey church at Acoma Pueblo. But none of these structures were advanced as elements in a coordinated program to forge an identity for a city. Rapp’s Missionstyle design for the New Mexico building at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition continued on Page 40

(St. Louis, 1904) is an example of how Santa Fe’s tastemakers and boosters in the last years of the territory thought the state should be represented to audiences at the world’s fair. When the Scottish Rite freemasons planned a grand new building for their rituals in Santa Fe in 1908, they turned to Rapp, who was not only a mason but had already worked for fraternal organizations. In 1894, he designed the Masonic Temple in Las Vegas, New Mexico, a structure in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. And in July 1908, The New Mexican reported that Rapp was awarded the contract for the new Santa Fe Elks Club building (finished in 1911). The idea for the Scottish Rite building’s style went through at least two iterations before arriving at the Moorish fantasy inaugurated in 1912. The New Mexican reported on Dec. 12, 1908, that the Scottish Rite masons had purchased a fine lot on Washington Street across from the Federal Building, and that a building would be constructed in the Mission style, with all the modern conveniences inside. We should not be surprised in the choice of Mission style, given Rapp’s previous work. But for unknown reasons, Rapp’s proposal for the Scottish Rite Temple, published as a concept drawing on the front page of in The New Mexican on Jul. 19, 1909, is for a neo-Classical style building, similar in form to his designs for the old state Capitol (1903) and the governor’s mansion (1908). Rapp did not design the final structure, and he was obviously supplanted in the Scottish Rite project by the Los Angeles firm of Sumner Hunt and Silas Burns, long champions of the California Mission style. But why? Enter Edgar Lee Hewett. By the time of the events detailed here, Hewett had been living in and around Santa Fe for more than a decade. We know Hewett as the dynamo behind the foundation of the School of American Archaeology (in 1907; now the School for Advanced Research) and the Museum of New Mexico (1909), but before he was an archaeologist, he was the first president, in 1897, of New Mexico Normal School in Las Vegas (now New Mexico Highlands University), and his office was in Normal Hall (later Springer Hall), a Romanesque-style building designed by Isaac Rapp. Society in Northern New Mexico and Santa Fe was even more restricted a century ago than it is now, and we can imagine that Hewett knew Rapp socially.
T
he Scottish Rite, which is actually of French rather than Scottish origin, is what is called an appendant body of freemasonry. Every full-fledged mason has attained the third, or Master Mason degree. Beyond that there were and are many other Masonic bodies, including the York Rite, the Scottish Rite, and the Shriners. African-American men often joined Prince Hall Masonry. Female relatives of masons could join the Eastern Star, and children could become members of the Daughters of Job, Rainbow Girls, and DeMolay. There
are all-women’s lodges as well as mixed-gender lodges, but they are not in the same system as these other groups. The Scottish Rite confers the fourth though 32nd degrees, which are mythohistoric morality plays intended to convey to candidates knowledge supplementary to that they learned in the first three degrees. They heyday of American masonry spanned the decades from the Civil War to World War II. In a town like Santa Fe, freemasonry was an important social outlet and integrative social mechanism for those who were Protestants or Jews, as traditionally, devout Catholics were (and are) not supposed to be members. Santa Fe’s Masonic groups counted as members a large number of the community’s most influential figures, like Hewett and Rapp, but also the archaeologist Sylvanus G. Morley, the photographer Jesse L. Nusbaum, and later, the architect John Gaw Meem. Wilson and others have argued that Hewett played the key role in introducing Sumner Hunt into the pool of potential architects for the Scottish Rite project. Charles F. Lummis linked the men. Lummis was a champion of the idea of the greater Hispanic Southwest, as expressed by the Mission style of architecture. With Sumner Hunt, he founded the California Landmarks Club in 1894, which helped restore the famous missions of San Juan Capistrano, San Fernando, San Diego, San Luis Rey, and others. As Karen J. Weitze writes in a chapter of her Toward a Simpler Way of Life: The Arts and Crafts Architects of California, the same year, Hunt collaborated with Lummis to design 19 floats representing the history of California for the first Los Angeles Fiesta. Hunt also designed the roof for Lummis’ Los Angeles home, El Alisal. Lummis was an early supporter of Hewett’s and a leading figure of the American Institute of Archaeology’s Los Angeles branch. He was involved in all of the meetings that led to the foundation of the School of American Archaeology in 1907 and in the decision to situate it in Santa Fe under Hewett’s direction. The smoking gun in this story is a letter Hunt wrote to Hewett on Feb. 17, 1911, preserved in the Hewett Papers at the Fray Angélico Chávez Library at the New Mexico History Museum. Hunt begins by thanking Hewett for the introduction to Gen. Harper Cunningham, who was a well-known legislator and judge in Oklahoma and key figure in the spread of freemasonry in the West. Cunningham raised the funds for the Scottish Rite House of the Temple in Washington, D.C., and he moved the Santa Fe project forward, funded by $50,000 in bonds as well as assessments from some 300 brethren in the Territory. He continues, “I am intensely interested in the scheme — think your suggestion is splendid. Think the type of architecture admirably adapted, not only of course to your location, but also to the building for which we are using it. We shall give the thing our very best attention and endeavor to make it as good as I understand you told the General we are capable of doing.” What was the suggestion? Of course, it was for a Moorish Revival structure. Incidentally, Cunningham died in Los Angeles less than a month after this letter was written, and he is buried beneath the main stairs of the Scottish Rite Center in Santa Fe. ◀ This is the first part of a two-part article.

The clay’s the thing Sculptor chriStine nofchiSSey MchorSe Paul Weideman I The New Mexican
IN
1997, after 15 years of making “typical” Indian pottery, Navajo artist Christine Nofchissey McHorse saw a fork in the road and took it. Ever since, her work has inhabited a more rarified plane. Black, sculptural, and devoid of decoration, it is all about form. “In a way it was just meant to happen,” she said in a phone conversation from the University of Oklahoma, where she was a distinguished visiting artist during the second week of September. “I think I’ve been on this path for quite a while. It’s been a slow transition, but it’s brought me to this point.” The pottery has a nontraditional appearance, but McHorse still uses the coil-building method and gathers her own clay. “McHorse takes only a couple of barrels of clay every two to three years, using it as though it were a precious metal, saving and reusing every scrap of clay,” according to the new book Dark Light: The Ceramics of Christine Nofchissey McHorse (Fresco Fine Art Publications). It features Addison Doty’s photographs of the artist’s ceramics and text by Santa Fe-based collectors Garth Clark and Mark Del Vecchio. The Navajo, who have a more nomadic tradition than the Pueblo Indians, are not known in the art world for their pottery, although it is one of their
42
PASATIEMPO i September 20 -26, 2013
domestic traditions. “The first known Navajo pottery is Dinétah Gray from the early 1700s into the 1800s,” Clark and Del Vecchio write. There was almost no decoration, and the pots were very fragile, even crumbly. The pottery evolved with a greater degree of contact with Pueblo peoples after the 1680 revolt, but by the time the tourist market became a new incentive for Native artists, Navajo wares were often denigrated as “mud pots.” McHorse’s parents, Mark and Ethel Yazzie Nofchissey, were part of the last generation that faced the abusive assimilation policies in the Anglo world. Her father was a bulldozer operator at the open-pit Phelps Dodge Morenci copper mine — and he was also fascinated by Zen and Rosicrucian philosophies. The household in which McHorse grew up was dynamic. “We were encouraged to exercise our minds and to invent without fear,” she told the authors. During her teen years, she herded sheep with her grandmother, Zonilth Bahe, in northeastern Arizona. In the early mornings, in the dark of the hogan, she loved seeing Bahe’s face in the light from the potbelly stove. “I can still continued on Page 44

Christine Nofchissey McHorse, continued from Page 42 see her today, conjure it up,” she said to Pasatiempo. “I try to go through life creating good memories, focusing on those things.” McHorse attended public school in Clifton, Arizona, and then came to the Institute of American Indian Arts when it was a high school for the arts on the campus of the Santa Fe Indian School. Her idea was to pursue glassblowing. “I must like molten material. But I don’t think it would have worked, because in glassblowing you need a group of people. I’m a solitary person, and I love to work alone.” At IAIA she met her future husband, Joel P. McHorse. It was with his mother’s mother, Lena Archuleta of Taos Pueblo, that she learned to produce Native ceramics, employing the sparkly micaceous clay that is common in the Taos area. Mica, a natural temper, allows the potter to fire at very high temperatures and to create fine, thin-walled vessels. Her annoyance over the “mud pots” epithet fueled her artistic progress, and by 1994 she was winning top awards at Santa Fe Indian Market — including Best of Division, the Challenge Award, and Best Sculpture. After initiating the black-pottery series Dark Light in 1997, she continued showing at Indian Market for eight years, but the black pots weren’t selling. In fact, the work would do better once it landed at contemporary-art venues, such as Garth Clark Gallery in New York and James Kelly Contemporary in Santa Fe. McHorse achieves her signature elegant black surface by depriving the clay of oxygen during firing. “And it’s instant. It just takes one second to turn. Not even that. I’ve actually put a piece in a cooking pot with a tempered glass lid and heated it up and it’s like a shadow going across the sun.” She uses a waterproof finish derived from slow-cooked piñon pitch. “That will eventually dry up. If you have the pot on a shelf for years in the sun, it will dry out and flake off and crumble away and then you just remelt it, and it looks good again. I actually did that for a museum in Santa Fe. It was an older piece, not one of mine. I just remelted the pitch and added a little bit more, and it looked like it was just made.” In some of her pottery sculptures, one can guess at possible inspirations — shells, gourds, plants, animals, rock formations — but others are less suggestive: one thinks of geometry, organic complexity, surrealism. Where do the ideas come from? “You know what? A lot of those shapes are based on things I figured out previously. Like say, for example, working on the shoulder of a pot, starting to create the neck, I realized that I could place a couple more walls to create an inner — like three necks on top of a shoulder, within each other. “There’s a period where I gain as much of the craft as I can, and then I start exploring structure — how far I can push the shape or how much extension I can get without losing the strength of the clay. A lot of them are experimental pieces of construction. I do a lot of combinations of shapes that I’ve done before or ideas I’ve had before and it just leads me to other shapes and ideas. “There are times when I’m working that I get another idea, and I have to push that to the back of my mind and finish what I’m doing, because it gets exciting when you get a new idea.” If it’s important, that idea will reassert itself. But it’s not like she really needs it. “I have so many sketches and ideas, I have too many for my own lifetime,” she said. McHorse loves her medium. For one thing, it brings back a childhood memory: the smell of wet clay from the San Francisco River, next to which she lived in eastern Arizona. It would be easy to understand if she were resistant to the idea of her work translated into bronze. “Well, I hear that a lot. I hear it from my family. Personally, I’ve never thought that far ahead. I was happy with my medium. I did have a piece off the base from my first attempt to fire my pottery black in the traditional way, using cow dung. I lost a little piece. The pot turned black like it was supposed to, but you get a little flaw like that and it’s not good for the market. I thought it would be a crazy waste, because I loved what I had done, so I had it cast in bronze. That makes it more permanent; it’s not a fragile piece of pottery that can disappear. It took me back to the time I was doing little bronzes with Allan Houser [one of her instructors at IAIA].”

Two of the works featured in the book — Spontaneous Combustion, 2011, and Spacial Concerto, 2012 — have been cast in stainless steel. “This has kind of been my husband’s project, which is cool. I don’t think about finances, but he’s like, We’ve got to do this. We have to have pieces for our kids, you know? The surface looks like a mirror, like mercury. It’s hard for me to visually accept it, but it’s growing on me. I’m about ready for that next step.” ◀

EXTENDING MEMORY LANE BLONDIE
Mark Weiss
GOES TO THE OPERA
Loren Bienvenu I For The New Mexican hris Stein is no stranger to the recording process. The co-founder and lead guitarist of the iconic rock band Blondie has more than a dozen studio and live albums (and as many compilations) under his belt. These days he works primarily at home on a laptop, explaining the transition from pro studio to home studio with a Jean Cocteau quotation: “Film will only become art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper.” “You can make an album for the cost of a laptop,” he said over the phone while stuck in a New York City traffic jam. The idea that accessible, inexpensive production tools are essential to advancing today’s “popular music movement” is surprising from someone whose career was established in the polished ionosphere of radio-friendly pop, where a glitzy finished 46
PASATIEMPO I September 20 -26, 2013
tone was once limited to those with a major label deal. Blondie emerged from New York’s grungy New Wave punk scene in the early 1970s, the result of a partnership between Stein and frontwoman Debbie Harry. Thanks to a combination of charisma and musical chameleonism, the group soon left behind many of its hard-line punk peers. The band’s permanent transition to the mainstream came with 1978’s Parallel Lines. This platinum-certified album continues to be Blondie’s most successful commercially, thanks to hits like “One Way or Another” and “Heart of Glass.” Blondie’s newest effort, Ghosts of Download (coming out in November), had a budget that far exceeded the cost of a laptop and was crafted in a network of studios both large and small. Stein explained that it involved a larger and more diffuse creative team than previous albums. “The stuff from this record came from all over
the place, [incorporating] a lot of collaborative processes. There were more outsiders involved with this record than any of the previous ones.” As a result, he found himself exchanging ideas cross-country rather than following the traditional model of rehearsing and recording material with all band members and producers in the same place. The album’s lead single is “A Rose by Any Name,” a club/dance track in the vein of recent Madonna material, driven by the poppy refrain “If you’re a boy or if you’re a girl, I love you just the same.” Stein said the band has been rehearsing six or seven other new pieces for its current tour, which brings Blondie to the Santa Fe Opera on Monday, Sept. 23, with long-running Los Angeles punk band X. “They seem to integrate well, and the band seems to accept them,” he remarked, promising that the set list will also contain a number of beloved career hits. When the topic of Santa Fe came up, the rock and roll hall-of-famer again demonstrated broad cultural literacy. He excitedly mentioned the rumor that resident author Cormac McCarthy’s next novel will feature a female protagonist for the first time. Then he transitioned to a discussion of Japanese writers Yukio Mishima and Haruki Murakami, saying that he tries to carve out time for hefty volumes such as Murakami’s 1Q84, because “this culture has attention-deficit disorder.” Soon after, he gave a nod to another Santa Fe affiliate, Zach Condon of the band Beirut. He said Beirut is “close to his heart.” The sentiment is evidenced by Condon’s guesting on trumpet on Blondie’s 2011 album Panic of Girls. That album also contains a cover of Beirut’s “A Sunday Smile.” Another artist on Stein’s musical radar is Avicci, whose song “Wake Me Up” has topped numerous charts worldwide. He described the Swedish DJ and electronic musician as “Richie Havens meets Mumford & Sons.” “I listen to a lot of modern pop music — radio stuff. I try to keep up and am always getting excited about what I hear.” But he also acknowledged a certain nostalgia for the past. The sentiment was manifested visually this summer, when a Los Angeles gallery exhibited a selection of Stein’s photography. His archive includes pictures of prominent new wave and punk figures that he photographed in the 1970s and ’80s: The Ramones, Joan Jett, and Devo, and a picture within a picture of Andy Warhol shooting Debbie Harry. Looking back, he thinks the monochromatic allure of that time and place was best captured by the aesthetic of black-and-white photography. “Young hipsters today are very attracted to the decay going on in the ’70s and ’80s. It’s very romantic. ... I was lucky to be in the midst of my contemporaries and taking pictures of everybody.” Perhaps because Stein and other members of Blondie have made their nostalgia visible with projects such as the photo exhibit, rumors have persisted about the band’s breakup. In July drummer Clem Burke made a widely circulated remark that hinted at group retirement, citing Harry’s age as a factor. (The singer is 68.) However, within days, Harry’s spokesperson refuted the comment. Stein was willing to elaborate briefly on what happened and on the smallscale gossip cyclone that resulted: “Some guy recorded Clem and he must’ve said something out of context, and they went with it. They’re always trying to stir things up. We’re just taking it a day at a time.” As the band approaches year number 40, it continues to put out material that is stylistically different from what came before. Asked to help define the elusive Blondie sound — a question he gets a lot — Stein turned the conversation back to where it started: film. This time the comparison was to John Waters. Stein and Harry have collaborated with the cult filmmaker in the past (they wrote the song “Polyester” for his movie by the same name), and he acknowledged that throughout Blondie’s long career of musical exploration, fringe elements have consistently informed their sound. “There’s always been a tongue-in-cheek, B-movie aesthetic; certainly nothing we can duck. There’s an aspect of not taking yourself too seriously that still applies today.” ◀

A light and refreshing brew Laurel Gladden I For The New Mexican Drinking Buddies, mumblecore rom-com, rated R, Center for Contemporary Arts, 3 chiles In the classic romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally, there’s a moment when Harry says, “It is so nice when you can sit with someone and not have to talk.” That’s the easygoing feeling you get from this breezy, low-key, oddly charming romance from mumblecore master Joe Swanberg (Hannah Takes the Stairs). You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy its natural pace, plausible dialogue, likable characters, and winning performances. At the center are two seemingly mismatched couples. Tomboyish Kate (Olivia Wilde) works at a Chicago craft brewery, rides her bike everywhere, and likes to spend her evenings knocking back pints and playing pool with the guys. For about eight months, she has been dating Chris (Ron Livingston), an older type-A professional who doesn’t really like beer, has a turntable and a vinyl collection, and gives books by John Updike and Tony Hoagland as gifts. Kate’s BFF at the brewery is laid-back Luke ( Jake Johnson, whom you’d recognize from TV’s New Girl if his face weren’t obscured by his hipster beard and trucker cap). Luke is practically engaged to Jill (the always welcome Anna Kendrick), a shy, prim, bookish special-ed teacher. You think you know where this is headed, right? Luckily, Swanberg takes things in a different, more interesting direction. Rather than adhering to the feel-good rules of Hollywood fairy-tale rom-coms,

Just friends: Anna Kendrick and Ron Livingston
Swanberg is interested in capturing the specifics of day-to-day life, the natural rhythms of real conversation, and the behavior of actual people. The characters find themselves in awkward situations, some romantic sparks fly, and even the messy interactions feel realistic. There are plenty of jokes, but the humor is authentic. Everyone drinks, but none of that leads to some “significant dramatic moment” when a drunk person dances on a bar and then makes some embarrassingly sloppy or tearyeyed confession. Swanberg brings up some intriguing points about love and romantic choices. The line between friendship and romance can be blurry, and to a certain extent, he’s addressing the idea, also from When Harry Met Sally, that “men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.” His film cuts deeper, though. The couples’ incompatibility is perfectly clear to us in the audience, but they seem totally oblivious to it. You think you know who should be with whom, but should you date someone who’s just like you or be with someone who “balances” or “completes” you? Can any two people really be “meant for each other”? If this were a run-of-the-mill Hollywood flick, that answer would be a foregone conclusion, and you’d see how things are going to pan out from the beginning. But real life rarely turns out like the movies. Much of the film’s realism can be attributed to the fact that Swanberg’s idea of a script was a couple of pages outlining his story’s broad strokes. He refuses to resort to plot contrivances, allowing scenes to play out organically — he simply plopped his actors in a scene and let them figure out what their characters would do and say. Many of the conversations have gaps, awkward silences, back-pedaling, filler, and
hesitations. People talk without really saying much. This technique could have been a disaster in other hands, but it succeeds thanks to the highly capable performers and Swanberg’s editing skills. They gave him plenty of good material to piece together, and he chose wisely. Though Drinking Buddies retains the hand-held camera style of mumblecore, the production values have been boosted, thanks largely to director of photography Ben Richardson, of Beasts of the Southern Wild. Wilde in particular is spot-on as Kate, the girl who is comfortable being “just one of the guys,” doesn’t care about fashion, never cleans her apartment, and, alone in her office, sniffs her armpits to make sure her deodorant is working. She’s stubborn and self-involved, but she’s adorable, and you root for her anyway. The chemistry between Kate and Luke is palpable — watching them joke with each other and have a food fight over lunch are among the film’s highlights. Livingston has strong comedic instincts, and he delivers some of the funniest lines. When asked what he tastes in a particular beer, he looks critically pensive and then says, “Skinned knees and jelly sandwiches and dark clouds of puberty on the horizon.” For all its winning qualities, Drinking Buddies still doesn’t compare to a scripted comedy from a talented, seasoned screenwriter. But the characters are relatable — they’re both charming and flawed. At the end of the film, I still liked everyone — something I certainly wouldn’t say about most mainstream rom-coms. While this isn’t one of those indie flicks where “nothing happens,” the plot is minimal and devoid of machinations. Drinking Buddies strings together realistic scenes from everyday life, and it feels honest and true. I’ll drink to that. ◀

One date at a time Robert Ker I For The New Mexican Thanks for Sharing, ensemble dramedy, rated R, Regal DeVargas, 3 chiles Between 2008’s brash Choke and 2011’s artful Shame, the subject of sex addiction has emerged as a recurring theme in recent independent cinema. Neither film resonated strongly with audiences, but it makes sense that filmmakers would try to score a hit with this topic: addiction is a topic that draws interest in award season, and sex has been a staple of the Sundance generation of indie film ever since it was paired with lies and videotape. And yet the two themes make for strange bedfellows. Sex sells, but sex addiction is a tougher sell. Stuart Blumberg, the filmmaker who made his name with a screenwriting credit on 2010’s wonderful The Kids Are All Right, makes a pass at the sex-addiction subgenre with this ensemble romp, his feature-length directorial debut. It’s a picture stuffed with hefty drama, blossoming romance, feel-good moments, life lessons, and humor both subtle and broad. Mark Ruffalo (terrific in The Kids Are All Right) stands at the center of a strong cast, playing Adam, a Manhattanite who has persevered through years of sexual sobriety — by attending meetings, removing TV and the internet from his presence, and refusing to pleasure himself — and is ready to date again. He meets Phoebe (Gwyneth Paltrow), and the two of

them instantly fall for each other. It isn’t long before she discovers the truth about his past and reacts strongly to his potential for relapse. Will the two lovers overcome this obstacle? Tim Robbins plays Mike, Adam’s sponsor. Mike’s history includes addictions to sex and alcohol, and one gets the impression that attending meetings and sponsoring people is his new habit. That’s certainly the opinion of his son Danny (Patrick Fugit), who returns home after struggling with his own drug addiction only to clash with a dad who appears to care more for his sponsees than for his flesh and blood. Will the father and son reconcile their differences? Josh Gad plays Neil, Adam’s sponsee. Neil is portly and lacks self-confidence, in spite of his impressive position as a young doctor in a busy hospital. He’s addicted to sex as well as eating, and obscures his insecurities with a lame sense of humor. He befriends a young woman named Dede (played by the singer Pink) who is new to the program, and the two of them learn about platonic friendship as they help each other through their struggles. Will Neil unpack his baggage and overcome his issues? Blumberg and co-writer Matt Winston juggle the plot threads like some combination of the big-issue ensembles Crash and Traffic and frothy, sprawling rom-coms like Love Actually and Valentine’s Day. The tone wobbles between serious and light, as the characters suffer relapses and act out their unhealthy desires in one scene and achieve triumphs and crack goofy jokes in the jokes next. Pulling off this kind of tonal balance is like playing a game of Jenga, and the tower often topples. The film
can drift into afterschool-special territory, where the issue of addiction overtakes the dramatic pull. The humor doesn’t always go down easily. It’s very difficult to portray sex addiction as a serious ailment while also making light of it — even if cracking nervous jokes about an illness is something that people do. It’s further complicated by the fact that men with sex addiction can harass women in a very serious way. There’s nothing funny about that, and the film lets the clownish Neil off the hook for behavior that should have carried better-articulated consequences. In spite of this, Thanks for Sharing is entirely watchable. Much credit goes to the cast, which is likable all the way down the line. Ruffalo is capable of wearing inner turmoil and pragmatic intelligence as effortlessly as a linen shirt, whether he’s playing the Incredible Hulk in The Avengers or steering an indie dramedy. Robbins is as sturdy as ever, and Gad is a find. The MVPs of the film may go to the smaller roles, particularly Fugit’s tortured turn, Pink’s immensely likable support work, and Joely Richardson’s performance in the thankless role of Mike’s infinitely forgiving wife. It’s clear why such an impressive cast got together under this script; Blumberg continues to showcase the sure hand with character that he revealed with The Kids Are All Right. This is an actor’s dream, with scenes that let them flex their dramatic range, others that let them play it cool and charismatic, moments that ring true, and moments that feel larger than life. Thanks for Sharing encounters some turbulence, but the artists’ devotion to the material is compelling. The film is about addiction to sex, but it comes across as a labor of love. ◀

Haterfamilias Jonathan Richards I For The New Mexican You Will Be My Son, drama, not rated, in French with subtitles, The Screen, 3 chiles The distance the apple falls from the tree — or, in this case, the grape from the vine — is the subject of this dark character study from director Gilles Legrand. To belabor the metaphor a little further, the vine here is Paul de Marseul (Niels Arestrup), the imposing, flamboyant, charismatic old proprietor of a venerable Bordeaux vineyard, a classic wineproducing estate that has been in the family for 11 generations. The grape is Martin (Lorànt Deutsch), his only son, a distinctly unimposing, mild-mannered young man in whom the patriarch recognizes nothing of himself in style or talent. The movie opens with the cremation of the father, who goes into the flames in an oak casket, as Martin wryly observes to the mortician that his father would not have approved of being sent to eternity in oak. “He didn’t like woody aromas.” The attendant shakes his head. “It’s all carbon, sir. It all breaks down.” The rest of the story is told in flashback. It’s apparent from the start, as Paul gives an interview to a young journalist, that he has little use for his son. Into this already unfortunate state of affairs comes a game-changing discovery: François (Patrick Chesnais), Paul’s estate manager, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given just a few months to live. Perhaps there was a time, although it’s not readily apparent, when Paul was more tolerant, or less cruel, to Martin. But the mortal illness of François, a deeply savvy old vintner who has been Paul’s strong right

arm for many years, ups the ante. Suddenly the future must be faced, and Paul doesn’t see that future flourishing with Martin at the helm. Perhaps Paul sees intimations of his own mortality in the imminent death of his friend. Martin is married to Alice (Anne Marivin), an attractive and spirited young woman who is loving and supportive of her husband, and bristles at his father’s treatment of him. There’s some sexual tension in a scene between Paul and his daughterin-law, where we suspect that given half an opening (which she does not provide), he wouldn’t mind cultivating his son’s vineyard. And Paul does not hide his disappointment at Martin’s inability so far to produce an heir. The next game changer comes with the arrival of Phillippe (Nicolas Bridet), François’ son, who has been away in California managing the Coppola wine operation. Alerted by Paul to his father’s grave condition, he has taken unauthorized leave from his job, and presumes that he’s been fired. So he’s available. Paul lights up when Phillippe is around. Phillippe and Martin were boyhood friends and companions. But Phillippe is everything Martin is not — handsome, gregarious, and stylish. And most important, in Paul’s eyes, he has a gift for the wine business. Around Phillippe, the old man is transformed. It quickly becomes apparent, to us and to everyone on-screen, that François’ son is the ideal son Paul wishes he had. And Paul sets out to remedy that. He takes Phillippe on a business trip, he has the young man at his side when he is awarded the Légion d’Honneur, and he buys him a pair of shoes that cost 2,900 euros. He puts Phillippe in charge of the wine-making opera-
tions, praises Phillippe at Martin’s expense, and drives a wedge between the two young men. And he visits a lawyer to inquire into adoption proceedings. It all adds up to a pretty impossible state of affairs, and something has got to give. Legrand, whose producing credits (Ridicule, The Widow of Saint-Pierre) are much more extensive than his director’s résumé, does a good job of keeping the story flowing and the tension taut, although there is something perhaps a bit bludgeoning about the relentless avalanche of contempt Paul heaps on Martin. He misses no chance to degrade, criticize, and humiliate. He treats his son the way the Tea Party treats Obama. If Martin makes a suggestion, Paul dismisses it with a sneer. He’s even contemptuous of Martin’s compulsive jogging. If the plot is a little heavy-handed, the acting in this drama is beautifully nuanced. Arestrup is a force of nature as the charismatic, psychologically abusive father — he calls to mind Peter O’Toole’s turn as Henry in The Lion in Winter. The role of Martin is a thankless one, but Deutsch manages to keep it just this side of total dweebishness, and manages to suggest that Martin may be a more worthy vintner than his father will allow. Bridet was nominated for a César (France’s equivalent of an Oscar) as most promising new actor for his portrayal of a young man who is basically decent but shallow and prey to temptation. Perhaps the most interesting work comes from Chesnais as the dying François. The cinematography by Yves Angelo (Un Coeur en Hiver) is sumptuous and ravishing, with interiors lit like Rembrandts and sweeping exteriors of Bordeaux vineyards that will warm every oenophile’s heart, and may make your mouth water for a 1989 Haut-Brion. ◀

This documentary focuses on the period between his act of civil disobedience and his jail time, and it includes interviews with grassroots activists and celebrity supporters like Robert Redford and Daryl Hannah. At times the narrative veers too heavily into the realm of idolatry, but overall, George and Beth Gage’s filmmaking is confident, taking viewers to the street to watch the lawsuits and protests unfold. The Gages attend the screening, on 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, only. Not rated. 73 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Loren Bienvenu) See story, Page 18. CITADEL Aneurin Barnard plays Tommy Cowley, a man in a rundown apartment building whose pregnant wife is murdered by local kids. The baby lives, and Tommy faces the task of raising her in an atmosphere of paranoia. When the gang comes back for the baby, Tommy must confront his fears. Rated R. 85 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) C.O.G. Based on a David Sedaris essay, C.O.G. follows a young man as he embarks on a postgraduate voyage of self-discovery via what he perceives to be America’s underclasses. It’s tough to say whether this movie has miles of depth beneath its surface, or whether it’s all surface. Enjoyment — and perception — might hinge on your tolerance for honestly exploring your personal politics, fear, sexuality, white male privilege, and religious faith
HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL With an autumnal chill creeping in, it’s the perfect time to blow the cobwebs off this 1959 Vincent Price chestnut with a timeless setup. Price plays a millionaire who offers five people $10,000 to stay in a haunted house overnight — which sounds like easy money until secret motives emerge and the ghosts go “boo!” Haunted Hill is not as strong as scare classics like 1963’s The Haunting, but odds are if you saw it as a kid, you haven’t forgotten it. There are campy scares galore, and possibly the finest scene involving an acid bath in all of film. 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Sept. 20 and 21 only. Not rated. 75 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) PRISONERS Hugh Jackman plays a humble father who takes the law into his own hands when his 6-yearold disappears and the prime suspect (Paul Dano) is let off the hook due to a lack of evidence provided by the detective on the case ( Jake Gyllenhaal). Melissa Leo, Maria Bello, and Viola Davis also lend their talents to the film, which is directed by Denis Villeneuve (Incendies). Rated R. 153 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) THANKS FOR SHARING Stuart Blumberg, who made his name with a writing credit on 2010’s The Kids Are All Right, steers a sturdy ensemble for his featurelength directorial debut. Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins, and Josh Gad play Manhattanites who are drawn together through sex-addiction meetings, and the film extends its reach to the friends, relatives, and romantic partners in their lives. The tone veers uncomfortably between drama and comedy but stays the course thanks to strong performances and writing. Rated R. 112 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) See review, Page 50.
YANGSI This documentary shows us several years in the life of Ugyen Tenzin Jigme Lhundrup, a young man in the Himalayas who learns he is the reincarnation of a Tibetan master and trains to do right by this legacy. Not rated. 82 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) YOU WILL BE MY SON Paul de Marseul (Niels Arestrup) is the imposing proprietor of a venerable Bordeaux vineyard that has been in the family for 11 generations. His only son is Martin (Lorànt Deutsch), an unimposing young man in whom the patriarch recognizes nothing of himself. When Paul’s indispensable estate manager François (Patrick Chesnais) is diagnosed with terminal cancer and his son Phillippe (Nicolas Bridet) returns from California, Paul sees in him the son he wishes he had, and sets out to fix things. Gilles Legrand’s drama is beautifully acted and photographed. Not rated. 102 minutes. In French with subtitles. The Screen, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) See review, Page 52.
now in theaters AUSTENLAND Hollywood’s obsession with Jane Austen has given us this comedy about a woman who has an obsession with the author. Keri Russell plays Jane, who attends a sort of Jane Austen fantasy camp. She may not be able to meet her own Mr. Darcy, though; her limited means leave her stuck in the servants’ quarters. Rated PG-13. 96 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) BLUE JASMINE Woody Allen’s latest mixes comedy and tragedy in an inspired symphony of social criticism. Cate Blanchett will catch the Academy’s eye as Jasmine, a Park Avenue socialite who lost everything when her husband (Alec Baldwin) went to jail for financial fraud. She goes to San Francisco and moves in with her blue-collar sister Ginger (a perfect Sally Hawkins). The rest of the cast, which includes Bobby Cannavale, Andrew Dice Clay, and Peter Sarsgaard, is flawless. Rated PG-13. 98 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards) THE BUTLER At times overblown and unwieldy, an occupational hazard for a movie that covers 80 years of the civil rights movement in America, this is still a major accomplishment. We see it all through the eyes of Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker), a man who rises from the cotton fields of Georgia to a tenure as White House butler that extends from Eisenhower through Reagan and sees him into retirement through Obama’s election. A fine cast includes Oprah Winfrey as his wife and star
cameos as the presidents. Director Lee Daniels does heroic work in wrangling it all. Rated PG-13. 132 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Jonathan Richards) CLOSED CIRCUIT Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall star as two lawyers and former lovers who are assigned to the trial of a suspected terrorist (Denis Moschitto). Issues of confidentiality, mysterious deaths, and shocking conspiracies come up before the gavel comes down. Rated R. 95 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) CUTIE AND THE BOXER Noriko and Ushio Shinohara have been struggling in the New York art scene for more than 40 years. For much of that time, Noriko worked as her more famous husband’s assistant and neglected her own art. But in recent years she has emerged, largely through the development of her alter ego, the cartoon character Cutie. In this documentary, filmmaker Zachary Heinzerling gives us a window on a relationship that has been through the strain of ego, poverty, and alcoholism. Not rated. 82 minutes. In English and Japanese with subtitles. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) DECEPTIVE PRACTICE: THE MYSTERIES AND MENTORS OF RICKY JAY Ricky Jay is the world’s leading sleight-of-hand artist. He began studying magic at age 4 and performed on television when he was 7. This film, which is packed with the perfect combination of performance footage, archival gems, and commentary, is sure to please everyone who appreciates the artistry of magic. Not rated. 89 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Loren Bienvenu) DESPICABLE ME 2 The 2010 hit gets its sequel with this story about the ex-villain Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), who is called out of retirement to track down a bad guy. Unlike many family films, Despicable Me 2 is proudly a comedy, and it shelves the action, life lessons, and sentiment in favor of attempts at humor. The filmmakers hedge their bets by bringing slapstick for the kids and pop-culture references for the adults. Rated PG. 98 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) ELYSIUM Director Neill Blomkamp (District 9) presents a futuristic tale in which the wealthy live in a utopian space station called Elysium, while everyone else lives on Earth in what could be called District 99%. Matt Damon plays a man in an L.A. shantytown who fights back. The film is reminiscent of Paul Verhoeven’s satirical sci-fi films but without that B-movie sense of fun; it’s just obvious, ugly and overly violent and has nothing good to say
about the human race. The special effects, however, are incredible. Rated R. 109 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) EUROPA REPORT In the midst of the exhausting special-effects arms race at the multiplex, it’s a pleasure to watch a science-fiction film that looks as if it were crafted by human hands. Ecuadorian director Sebastián Cordero’s low-budget movie — about a crew aboard a spaceship on a mission to one of Jupiter’s moons — does the trick with its found-footage approach and nods to Kubrick and Lovecraft. The characters could be stronger, the ending less telegraphed, but the lived-in sets and homespun effects give you much to savor. Rated PG-13. 90 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker) THE FAMILY Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer play the parents of a family that ends up in the witness protection program in Normandy, France, after daddy rats out his mafia family. This is a lighthearted satire of mob dramas, so if you think there aren’t going to be corny jokes and comedic examples of culture clash, then fuggedaboutit! At this point, De Niro may have spent more years spoofing his on-screen persona than he spent crafting it. Rated R. 111 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) THE GRANDMASTER Ip Man, the martial arts master who helped popularize kung fu and taught Bruce Lee, has been the subject of several films of late. Wong Kar-Wai directed this one, which will undoubtedly look better than the rest — and probably better than any other film currently in theaters. Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Zhang Ziyi star. Rated PG-13. 130 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) IN A WORLD ... Lake Bell wrote, directed, and stars in this comedy about a woman who tries to break the gender barrier in a very specific professional sector: voice actors who narrate movie trailers. Alas, her biggest competition is her father (Fred Melamed), the man whose gravelly delivery made the words “In a world where ...” famous. Rated R. 93 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2 Director James Wan brings us his second horror film in the last three months, after the hit The Conjuring. This story follows the family of the 2011 Poltergeist-like first film as they take advantage of the rebounding housing market to buy a new home, only to once more encounter ghosts that were not mentioned anywhere in the listing. Rated PG-13. 105 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) continued on Page 56

INSTRUCTIONS NOT INCLUDED As Valentín (Eugenio Derbez) prepares for his big move from Mexico to Hollywood to realize his dream of becoming a stuntman, a former lover leaves him a surprise to take along: a screaming baby. Valentín learns how to be father at the same time he learns how to take a fall, to comedic results. In English and Spanish with subtitles. Rated PG-13. 115 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed)
ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US — EXTENDED FAN CUT If you who helped this boy band’s “Best Song Ever” win the fan-voted “Best Song of the Summer” award at the MTV Video Music Awards, you don’t need prompting to see this documentary. This new version, double-dipping into parents’ wallets in the space of a few weeks, boasts 20 more minutes and four more songs. Rated PG. 106 minutes. Screens in 3-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed)
THE MISSING PIECE: MONA LISA, HER THIEF, THE TRUE STORY Speculation surrounds Vincenzo Peruggia’s 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in Paris. Filmmaker Joe Medeira’s in-depth research into the case becomes a matter of honor after he promises Peruggia’s only surviving daughter that he will uncover the truth. The film is a smart and playful investigation of Peruggia’s past and has unexpected emotional depth. Not rated. 85 minutes. In English, French, and Italian with subtitles. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco)
PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS Now that Harry Potter has hung up his broomstick, Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman), basically Potter in a world full of Greek gods instead of wizards, fills the void and finds the Golden Fleece in this sequel to his 2010 film. Rated PG. 107 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed)
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES Here is another fantasy adaptation that you probably haven’t heard of unless you’re 14. The first installment centers on a girl (Lily Collins) who discovers she’s a Shadowhunter. The job has its drawbacks, such as having to fight powerful demons. It also has its perks, such as hanging out with hunks (Jamie Campbell Bower). Rated PG-13. 130 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) MUSEUM HOURS Working as a guard in a museum can be an intensely meditative and introspective experience. Befriending a patron named Anne (Mary Margaret O’Hara) gives Johann (Bobby Sommer), a guard at Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, an opportunity to reinvigorate his life while sharing insights into art and existence. Johann tours Vienna with Anne and gains a richer understanding of and appreciation for his city and the timeless spirit that animates it today, as it did in the time of Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Not rated. 107 minutes. In English and German with subtitles. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco)

PASATIEMPO I September 20 -26, 2013
RIDDICK Who would have thought back in 2000 that the minor hit Pitch Black would give us a supporting character worthy of his own franchise with sequels some 13 years later? Yet Riddick is back, and he’s bald, grumbling, and embodied once more by Vin Diesel. Rated R. 119 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) THE SPECTACULAR NOW The writers of 2009’s much-loved (500) Days of Summer adapt Tim Tharp’s coming-of-age novel into a film that is as much about teen alcoholism as teen romance. The plot can get repetitive, and it relies on some familiar tropes, such as the hard-partying guy hooking up with the unpopular girl, but it also feels true. Much of the credit goes to the lead actors (Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley), who look like actual high school students rather than 25-year-old models and light up the screen with natural, likable performances. Rated R. 95 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker) 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. Emma Watson and Michael Cera kill in their cameos, and the cocky, obnoxious McBride pretty much steals the show. 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. (Robert Ker)
20 FEET FROM STARDOM “Not everyone is cut out for stardom,” says Bruce Springsteen, one of the headliners who muses here on the contributions and frustrations of the backup singers whose vocals raise the sound to another level. Táta Vega, Claudia Lennear, and Lisa Fischer are a few that will send you out of the theater wondering about the barrier that has kept them from headliner stardom. Morgan Neville’s documentary brings these singers front and center, and it’s glorious. Rated PG-13. 90 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) WE’RE THE MILLERS In one of the year’s biggest surprise hits, a stripper (Jennifer Aniston) and a pot dealer (Jason Sudeikis) join up, recruit a couple of kids, and pretend to be a family so they can sneak drugs across the border from Mexico. The plan does not go off without hitches or hijinks. Rated R. 109 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) THE WORLD’S END Director Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who made Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, reunite for their finest collaboration yet. Pegg plays a man who coaxes his mates to reenact a hometown pub crawl they attempted many years before. Alas, they soon find that the local populace has been replaced by robots and feel the only way to avoid suspicion is to finish the crawl. This leads to silly fighting, but the film shines for its melancholy ruminations on friendship and nostalgia, not the sci-fi action. That the laughs come early and often doesn’t hurt. Rated R. 109 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker)

The Short Order Caterers Catherine O’Brien and Glenda Griswold’s restaurant TerraCotta Wine Bistro is a homey place to enjoy a glass of white, red, or rosé with the usual accompaniments — cheese plates, cured meats, bruschetta — or to have a full-scale lunch or dinner. The bruschetta with various inventive combinations of toppings are a delight when freshly made. Salads can be simple accompaniments or full meals. The menu also includes a variety of panini and a short list of entrees offered in a choice of lunch or dinner portions. Service can vary but is usually competent and professional. Day-to-day inconsistencies from the kitchen can taint what’s more often a wonderful experience. Recommended: brie with fig and port-jam bruschetta, smoked brisket panini, homemade potato chips, grilled flank steak, and olive oil carrot cake.
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 September 20 -26, 2013
The much-loved café at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum may be gone, but you can still find food fit to follow an art crawl — say a chopped salad and a glass of pinot grigio — just down Johnson Street at TerraCotta Wine Bistro (the former location of Trattoria Nostrani and Vivre). It’s easy to find with its row of colorful banners hung from a covered veranda that hosts tables for two. Inside there’s a steel-topped bar where you can sip wine or espresso. The charming old home’s three rooms make for a sometimes intimate, sometimes crowded experience. The place is the work of Catherine O’Brien and Glenda Griswold of Peas ’n’ Pod Catering, and its menu has something of a catering slant. Wine bistros offering bruschetta and cheese plates may be as common as big-budget movie flops, but how about one that offers buttermilk fried chicken and blackeyed peas? Though not terribly extensive, the wine list here is unique and varied and also includes a few of the usual suspects. Broken down into price categories — $20, $30, and $40 bottles — it isn’t pretentious. The majority of the glass offerings come from the $20 and $30 categories. At one dinner we guessed that a glass of Santa Barbara Winery’s Queen of Hearts pinot noir would go well with fig and port-jam bruschetta topped with melted brie. We discovered that it was even better with the BLT bruschetta, which included heartily flavored bacon and slices of tomato. The lettuce, though? Lost among the other, dominant flavors. The same menu is in effect at lunch and dinner, and the place is open through the afternoon, making it perfect for those post-museum repasts. The menu includes plates of olives, cheeses, and cured meats; a combination of hummus, tabbouleh, tapenade, and cannellini beans; as well as salads and soups (a cold vichyssoise on one visit). You can choose from an array of panini — ham and brie, turkey and chicken breast, and smoked cremini mushrooms and grilled zucchini. The menu has only five entrees, available all day in both lunch and dinner sizes. A couple of specials are offered daily — on one visit we enjoyed that crisp, juicy, not-at-all-greasy fried chicken and soft, yielding black-eyed peas. Everything is artfully presented. A grilled flank steak marinated in balsamic vinegar and coffee had a pleasantly robust flavor, especially when blanketed with chimichurrilike pesto made from arugula and bits of pistachio. The accompanying vegetables were firm and fresh, the sweet potato fries perfectly crunchy at first but a bit soggy at the bottom of their serving cup. The crab cakes were big and heavy on meat rather than filler — crisp outside, moist inside. They were accompanied by a veritable ocean of bland tartar sauce, a carrot-apple slaw so lightly dressed as to be nearly naked, and those sweet potato frites. Another fine dish had strips of chicken breast dipped in pecan butter before frying, the coating surprisingly light. Cheesy grits made with mild
longhorn cheese and greens with bits of bacon completed this fat-centric flavor fest. An olive oil carrot cake made for a fine finish one visit. Another time, the dense flourless chocolate cake was dry and crumbly — not what you’d expect from this sort of dessert. A lunchtime visit was memorable for its delicious, slightly smoky brisket panini topped with green chiles and Colby cheese that oozed into the meat. The casa salad’s greens were exquisitely fresh and tossed with chunks of apple, celery, almond, and roasted tomato, with a tangle of toasted onion strings at the center. The homemade potato chips were slightly thick, decidedly crisp, and even a touch warm. Another lunch visit was memorable for the wrong reasons. A perfectly good chicken salad hosted some fat but not-yetripe green grapes, the lot of it sitting on dry, wilted greens. The smoked salmon bruschetta seemed prepared well in advance, the salmon drying on top and pulling away from the capers that studded it. The same was true of the artichoke, spinach, and ricotta bruschetta. Another disappointment: the plates for the bruschetta weren’t all that clean. The service on our previous visits had been punctual and businesslike, with helpful wine suggestions. As we waited for our check that afternoon, we thought about how important consistency is in a restaurant and how it can be affected by everything from the frequency of deliveries to the kitchen staff to which server you happen to draw. TerraCotta, we decided, is a wonderful place most of — but not all — the time. ◀

Pete Moss’ Garden Tip: With the recent rains, now is the perfect time to plant trees, roses, perennials and bulbs. The rains have also brought on the perfect weather for weeds. Control weeds now before they get out of control. Hand pull or cut them out with a hoe while the ground is still moist. If you have large areas that need attention, you can also spray them with Bonide Kleen-up. Bonide Kleen-up is the fast, easy and safe way to control weeds.
