sunday, October 12th, 1:00–3:00 pm
Lecture by Pat and Chris Pruitt Collaborating artists Pat Pruitt and Chris Pruitt, Laguna Pueblo. When these two artists come together, their combining skills result in exquisite jewelry that is both contemporary in design, yet grounded in traditional native lifestyle. Pat Pruitt: Pat uses a combination of machine tools, computer software and industrial fabrication techniques to create contemporary jewelry designs grounded in his modern traditional native lifestyle. He works with stainless steel, titanium, zirconium, gold and silver, often embellishing his pieces with industrial diamonds and other precious stones. Chris Pruitt: In addition to his skill with silver and gold, Chris is an accomplished lapidarist, using precious and semi-precious stones such as diamonds, turquoise, coral, jade and lapis.

Correction: A September 26, 2014, story about the Miguel Covarrubias exhibit at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum stated that Covarrubias spent time in the summer of 1929 at the Taos compound of Mabel Dodge Luhan along with “notable guests [that] included D.H. Lawrence, Ansel Adams, and Georgia O’Keeffe,” as written in the museum’s exhibition catalog, Miguel Covarrubias: Drawing a Cosmopolitan Line. Though O’Keeffe visited the Lawrence Ranch, Lawrence was not in Taos during that period. He left New Mexico for the last time in 1925. By 1929 he was close to death and living in Vence, France, where he died in March 1930 at the age of 44.s

Paul Stevenson Oles remembers that the Louvre Pyramid project was a very difficult one. Everybody hated it except for François Mitterrand, who commissioned the glass structure while he was still the president of France. “The process was similar to what happened here in Santa Fe with the convention center. There were 800 years or so of absolutely precious architecture,” Oles said. “And the French hate everything that’s proposed — the headline was ‘Are we going to let them do this to us?’ They love conflict. They love a fight. But when it’s done, when it’s up, it’s ‘Don’t touch our Eiffel Tower. Don’t touch our pyramid.’ ” Oles’ stunning drawing of the Grand Louvre helped architect I.M. Pei carry out the late-1980s commission. The drawing is included in Truth in Architecture, a Friends of Architecture Santa Fe-sponsored and comprehensive exhibit of Oles’ illustrations at 217 E. San Francisco St., which is adjacent to the Lensic Performing Arts Center. A longtime resident of Santa Fe, Oles earned a bachelor’s degree in archi- The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center tecture at Texas Tech University and a master’s in the same discipline at Yale. He went on to using SketchUp, a 3-D modeling program, teaching work for many years with Pei and to teach at Rhode workshops on techniques for imaging with the softIsland School of Design, Yale, MIT, and Harvard. ware. In the foreword of Oles’ first book, Architectural Among his drawings in the Santa Fe show are Fountain Illustration: The Value Delineation Process, Pei wrote that Place in Dallas and the Ronald Reagan Building and Oles “skillfully, rigorously and with fidelity investigates International Trade Center and the National Gallery of design implications through drawings.

in 17, suffer from serious mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, panic disorder, and major depression — disorders that can be debilitating and lifelong, disrupting interpersonal relationships, moods, and feelings, as well as day-to-day functioning. Despite these staggering numbers, there are still stigmas attached to mental illnesses. And because they can be masked or otherwise not immediately apparent, they are often not seen as serious conditions by those who don’t understand the intensity of their effects. Many mental illnesses can be treated, but doing so can be costly. During Mental Illness Week (Oct. 5-11), James Kelly Contemporary (1611 Paseo de Peralta, 505-989-1601) hosts Inside Out, a one-day exhibition of artwork made at various local and regional centers treating and supporting the mentally ill: Casa Milagro, a therapeutic residential program for the formerly homeless; the Lifelink Santa Fe Clubhouse, a rehabilitation drop-in center; ArtStreet, an Albuquerque art-studio program for the homeless, poverty-stricken, and mentally ill; and Casa Cerrillos, a supported-living program for people with disabilities.

Inside Out opens at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11, and includes an artist reception at 4 p.m. A preview fundraiser, catered by Joseph’s Culinary Pub, takes place at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10. Tickets for the preview are $50 and can be purchased through the event’s website (www.insideoutsantafe.blogspot.com). All proceeds from sales of works go directly to the artists, with additional proceeds going to support nonprofits in Santa Fe that treat mental illnesses as well as Southwestern College’s Art Therapy and Counseling program. Inside Out includes James Koskinas’ painting Turner, which is featured in his film, The Twilight Angel, a story about an artist working on a series of a dozen paintings of angels — the culmination of his life’s work that is under threat of remaining uncompleted as the artist slips into a depression.

Sports players (or teams) are often described as being hot or cold, implying there is something inherently “streaky” about an athlete’s performance that extrapolates to the next try. Using data from 10 seasons of professional basketball and more than a century of major-league baseball, physicist Sid Redner argues that scoring is a memoryless random process — suggesting that the notion of a scoring streak is a fallacy and that win/loss records in professional baseball teams are similarly memoryless. Finally, he shows that our favorite pastime is getting progressively more competitive — no more dynasties or perennial losers.
Wednesday, October 15 7:30 p.m. James A. Little Theater 1060 Cerrillos Rd., Santa Fe Lectures are free and open to the public. Seating is limited.

STAR CODES Heather Roan Robbins
The stars send conflicting messages this week, as if standing on the gas and the brakes at the same time. One configuration speeds us up and nags us to get on with life, while another slows us down. An ongoing dynamic, occasionally manic, grand trine with Jupiter, Uranus, and Mars in fire signs continues to rouse the rabble and makes us rebellious where we feel oppressed, depressed where we feel stuck, and excited and engaged where we’re getting somewhere. This energized vibe can be really helpful when it comes to mobilizing resources and dealing with a true emergency. But it can also nudge us to respond to smaller problems as if they’re an emergency when what is really needed is calm and persistent helpfulness. Mercury retrograde sends us back to reconnect with the past and can leave us moody and bring us deep within our soul to heal. It’s going to take some patience on our part to mediate these two energies. The weekend begins under a stabilizing if possessive Taurus moon. Recent discontent can make us look for a change of scenery and greener pastures over the weekend as Venus opposes Uranus. Monday night the moon enters domestic Cancer and we want to go home and cuddle. Midweek we need to look at how our health is related to everything we do. Friday, Oct. 10: Slow down, back up, and relax; there’s no point in hurrying. Mercury retrogrades back into Libra and lets us reconsider recent actions from a friendlier perspective. Midday brings goodwill but poor luck; count on work instead. Take each other seriously tonight. Saturday, Oct. 11: As Venus opposes Uranus, our feelings and focus can be all over the place. Discuss. Explore. Experiment. Move artwork around, but avoid long-term aesthetic or emotional decisions. Sunday, Oct. 12: We work well with others but may be highly distractible. The conversation is good, but be prepared to release inappropriate assumptions. Clear the mental clutter. Early evening is sociable, so we can get klutzy and cranky later on as the moon opposes Mars. Monday, Oct. 13: Keep a low-key, flexible schedule. Meander, grow community, reconnect, and then wend homeward as the moon enters domestic Cancer tonight. Notice an existential vulnerability; reach out to those who cannot go home tonight.

IN OTHER WORDS book reviews Being Miss America: Behind the Rhinestone Curtain by Kate Shindle, University of Texas Press, 236 pages It’s possible there are two kinds of women in this country: those who aspire to be Miss America — or who at least understand the value of this goal — and those who do not. Some girls grew up watching the annual parade of stunning young ladies as they competed in evening gowns and bathing suits for college scholarships, and others grew up assuming it was either a waste of time or an affront to feminism. Kate Shindle, Miss America 1998, grew up in such close proximity to the pageant and its historic home in Atlantic City, New Jersey, that she couldn’t help but fall into the first group. Her family served in various volunteer capacities her entire childhood, and when she went off to college at Northwestern University, it seemed a natural next step for her to compete for the title of Miss Illinois and then work her way up to the nationals. She did this, she points out in her book — which is part memoir of her experience, part history of the contest, and part brand analysis of the Miss America Organization — while taking women’s history and feminist theory courses at one of the nation’s top colleges, so she doesn’t have much patience for self-described feminists who assume she’s an airhead. The Miss America pageant was created in the 1920s as a way to extend the Atlantic City tourist season by a week. It caught on quickly and became a true American tradition in 1954, when it was televised live for the first time. Being Miss America: Behind the Rhinestone Curtain is an angry, sometimes illuminating book written by a Miss America who didn’t fit the mold. That description might seem counterintuitive to women who don’t understand the point of, or are offended by, beauty pageants. After all, to the untrained eye, each Miss America is the very picture of a cookie-cutter figure incorporating all our culturally imposed beauty ideals — the ultimate Stepford wife. According to popular wisdom, Miss America is poised, articulate, polite, pretty, slim, and noncontroversial in her lifestyle and opinions. Except, as Shindle explains, there have been plenty of rebellious or controversial Miss Americas, and the political views of the winners have usually leaned left. Indeed, the recently crowned Miss America 2015, Kira Kazantsev, is being pilloried by right-wing pundits because she had a college internship at Planned Parenthood (and was kicked out of her college sorority due to a hazing scandal). Others have been controversial for being outspoken and for, among other things, having their nude photographs 18

leaked to the public, not wanting to wear evening gown and tiara to every event during their “year of service,” and, in the 1940s, for being Jewish. Shindle is angry because she feels let down by the Miss America Organization, which she portrays as chronically mismanaged since the 1980s and especially since the late 1990s. She goes into great detail about the various shifts in administration and leadership, and she is not kind to those she believes are inept or even maliciously bad at their jobs, although she glosses over enough specifics that sometimes the book reads more like gossip than an effort at historical scholarship. Her main bone of contention is the confused identity of Miss America. Is she a show pony and sex object, or is she an intelligent young woman with an important platform issue to discuss in venues across the country during her year of service? Shindle believes that not knowing how to brand the pageant in the face of two different waves of feminism has made the Miss America Organization culturally irrelevant, which, she feels, is a shame. In recent years the platform issue — a topic of social import chosen by each contestant as an educational project — has all but disappeared as an important judging category, but it was integral to the author’s Miss America. That the platform issue is not just a specious stab by the organization at the relevance Shindle desires is the most surprising aspect of Being Miss America. Less surprising are some of her personal revelations: that winners are often treated like cattle by their handlers, that the year of service is truly grueling and sometimes demeaning, and that Shindle developed an eating disorder from the stress and confusing expectations. Though she knows she grew up with certain physical and material advantages that enabled her to compete in the first place, she never really explores her reasons, for the benefit of readers without a connection to the pageant world, for entering such a competition. Shindle spent her year of service educating people about AIDS and HIV, from schoolchildren to elected officials. The time she spent volunteering with organizations and researching her platform issue is impressive, and she is correct when she asks, rhetorically, how many college students wield this level of political clout about such an important subject. In addition to the scholarships, the platform issue — with its handsomely paid speaking engagements — is the point of being Miss America. Without the platform issue, she says, the Miss America pageant is nothing but a beauty contest. — Jennifer Levin
SUBTEXTS Two is the loneliest number Some people just aren’t made for monogamy. For Franklin Veaux, the idea that he must limit his heart — and body — to just one woman for the rest of his life never felt true or right for him, starting at an early age. By high school he was engaging in what are now called polyamorous relationships. (The term “polyamory,” which means to have two or more emotionally close relationships with different people, reportedly was coined in 1990 by a neo-pagan priestess named Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart.) Twenty years ago Veaux started a website, www.morethantwo.com, that has since become the go-to place for people navigating these complicated romantic arrangements, as the “poly” lifestyle has grown in popularity. Now Veaux and one of his partners, Eve Rickert, have written a book based on the site, More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory. To engage in plural relationships in a way that is not harmful to any of the participants, communication is key. The goal of More Than Two is to offer advice and dispel common myths, such as the idea that all poly people are kinky swingers. Poly is a relationship style, not a sexual practice, and many configurations exist within it. Being poly doesn’t necessarily involve group sex or anything particularly adventurous in the bedroom, although for some people it does. Poly people are also not all pagan or into New Age spirituality, and many dislike the assumption that they are naturally more emotionally evolved or open-minded than monogamous people. Successful polyamory requires that everyone in a given relationship be willing to listen, learn, and grow to sustain long-term commitments to one another — the same as in any happy, lasting relationship. Veaux and Rickert read from their book on Saturday, Oct. 11, at 5 p.m. at op.cit.books (500 Montezuma Ave., in Sanbusco Center). For more information, call 505-428-0321. — J.L.

ev Grossman’s 2009 novel, The Magicians, inspired the sort of critical ardor and popular reception that heralded it as a major literary phenomenon. Its influence extended well beyond the initial acclaim: the novel defied any stale assumptions that fantasy novels are less artistic than other fiction genres. The Magicians was the first book in a trilogy that continued with 2011’s The Magician King and has just culminated with the recent publication of The Magician’s Land. All three works have appeared on The New York Times Best Sellers list, with The Magician’s Land debuting at No. 1. Grossman, Time magazine’s book critic, will be at the Jean Cocteau Cinema on Monday, Oct. 13, for an interview and question-and-answer session with George R.R. Martin, and will read from and sign copies of his latest offering. He spoke to Pasatiempo from New York City.
Pasatiempo: Which were the harder parts of The Magician’s Land to write: those set in the fantastical Fillory, or those set in the Northeast United States, in mundane places like a Newark, New Jersey, Marriott? Lev Grossman: It was all about equally difficult. What you realize when you start writing about unreal things like magic and enchanted lands and dragons and things like that is that they are exactly as fictional as everything else. A dragon is as fictional as Mrs. Dalloway. The Newark Marriott is as fictional as Castle Whitespire. It’s all unreal. Your job is to make it real. As it turns out, you’re doing the same job in both places. Pasa: This past August, you wrote in The New York Times, “For me fantasy isn’t about escaping from reality, it’s about re-encountering the challenges of the real world, but externalized and transformed.” What challenges do you find it forces a reader to re-encounter? Grossman: The reason why fantasy is so compelling is 20

Grace Labatt I For The New Mexican
The bestselling author comes to Jean Cocteau When The Magicians begins, Quentin Coldwater is a brilliant teenager from Brooklyn who believes that“his real life, the life he should be living, had been mislaid through some clerical error by the cosmic bureaucracy.” He enrolls at Brakebills, a secret college where magic is taught, but even this does not invigorate him. After graduating, however, he makes a remarkable discovery: Fillory, the fantastical setting of a series of novels Quentin loved as a child, is a real place. The Magicians trilogy moves between Earth and Fillory, as Quentin and his friends engage in battles and encounter wonders in the latter. By the time of the exploits that take place in The Magician’s Land, the trilogy’s denouement, Quentin is a twenty-nine-year-old earthbound teacher, exiled from Fillory despite having ruled and saved it in the second book, The Magician King:“ Life was briskly and efficiently stripping Quentin of his last delusions about himself.” A strange mission involving a suitcase, a talking bird, and the companionship of Plum, an expelled Brakebills student, leads Quentin to new discoveries — and to the sorts of adventures he thought were just in his past. — G.L.
that it allows us to look at the problems we deal with in daily life in a new way — especially psychological problems, which tend to get externalized in this wonderful way in fantasy and transformed into magic and monsters and wonders. I think in The Magicians books, one of the things that the characters grapple with [is] learning how to feel powerful, which ... is something that I struggled with for a long time. [They are] learning to overcome depression and self-hatred and anxiety and confusion and feel powerful and sure of themselves, which, in the books, comes out as them learning to do magic and learning to take control of the world around them in this marvelous, supernatural way. It has to do with learning to accept how difficult and imperfect the world is and how much loss we have to deal with in the real world. The characters, when the books begin, you think they’re going to go to someplace like Narnia, which is sort of wonderful and enchanted. ... Reality is very different from that. It takes them a long time to really feel as though the world is a good and meaningful place to live in. Pasa: Would you say The Magicians trilogy is particularly American in its approach to fantasy? Grossman: The Magicians books I think of as being as distinctively American as, for example, the Narnia books are distinctively English. I was very conscious of writing in what I consider to be a very English tradition — the tradition of [C.S.] Lewis and [Philip] Pullman and J.K. Rowling — and moving [it] to America, which changes it. The characters sound very different. They don’t speak in that wonderfully crisp, correct English way. They talk like Americans. They call each other “dude” and they swear a lot, which creates a very different effect on the page. Magic is different: in England magic tends to be something that you inherit. It runs in families, on the aristocratic model. The world of magic in The Magicians is much more meritocratic. The way you qualify to learn magic is much more like taking a sort of magical SAT and having your aptitude rated. ... I feel as though if magic were real in America, that’s how it would work. Pasa: You went to Harvard and Yale, where you studied comparative literature. Do you think fantasy should have more of a presence on academic syllabi? Grossman: The short answer is yes, I do. Fantasy has become a very major part of the way we tell stories now. I think when I was a kid it was relatively culturally marginal, but sometime around, I would say, the turn of the millennium, it became very central to our culture, with the rise of Harry Potter, the Lord of the Rings movies, Twilight, Eragon, Philip Pullman. Pop culture started to be dominated by fantasy. When you get kids who are raised on Harry Potter — as almost every kid is now (and that’s not a bad thing; I’m a huge Harry Potter fan) — it’s very useful and interesting for them to learn to think critically about fantasy and to understand how it works and what it means and doesn’t mean, which is what good English classes do. The fact that academic syllabi tend to focus on literary realism — that’s kind of the dominant mode of today — I think is a bit of a mistake. Kids need to learn how to read fantasy critically because that’s what they’re reading outside their classes. Pasa: You’ll be in Santa Fe for an event with George R.R. Martin, whom you have identified as an influence on your work. How has he influenced you? Grossman: George is incredibly popular and successful, but I still don’t know if people realize just how radical and interesting his work is. I’ve been reading him since the ’90s, when he started publishing A Song of Ice and Fire. Fantasy had been a little bit sleepy for a few decades. ... When George appeared, he took the whole epic fantasy tradition and blew it up and made it new again in a way that I don’t know if anybody saw coming. It was so exciting, and it was probably the first sign for me that fantasy is something I shouldn’t just be reading. I should be writing [it]. ◀

wiss artist Johannes Itten (1888-1967), who taught color theory at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany, in the early 1920s, explored color as something to comprehend visually and also as something that triggers psychological and emotional responses — ideas he laid out in his classic book The Art of Color. Trained as a Color Field painter, Santa Fe-based artist John Vokoun was introduced to Itten’s work in college. Though he still paints, Vokoun has taken his intense interest in color to another level, using corrupted computer files as a medium for complex compositions. “About 10 or 12 years ago, I started getting into my corrupted data series,” Vokoun told Pasatiempo during a studio visit. “It’s part of my palette for making what, to me, are still Color Field paintings.” 22
PASATIEMPO I October 10-16, 2014
Michael Abatemarco I The New Mexican Vokoun typically begins his process using a data file, but the final result bears no resemblance to the original file content. “One of the things people have asked me over the years is, ‘What is the data? Where does the data come from?’ I’ve always known where it comes from, but I haven’t always told people. The thing about a lot of it is that it’s so random. With the input and output process, you never know what you’re going to get. This kind of work is about starting with color and shape and working with the data to bring about a sense of movement. I’ve been hacking different scanners and camera systems to take imagery and spewing out this corrupted data in a lot of different ways.” Vokoun hacks into three or four computer systems to create his compositions. He uses an industrial process called sublimation, in which an aluminum plate is coated with a scratch-proof, hardened polyester material and printed over with inks, which are then
heated into gas form. The heated molecules penetrate the coating and resolidify, becoming encased permanently in the polyester. “It was only about four or five years ago that I figured out how to manifest them in the world. I have the top plates fabricated for me by these guys in California. It comes out of a manufacturing process that’s been co-opted by the art world. Somewhere I have this one that flew out of the back of my truck on the highway going, like, 75. It got a couple of micro-scratches on it, and that was it.” Vokoun pays careful attention to final appearances. The finished work is mounted on frames and risers fabricated by race-car manufacturers in his home state of Missouri and then polished and clear-coated at an auto body shop. “The thing for me is that everything’s got to be real clean and tight. For me, an artist’s job is to take whatever tools are around them and use them to throw back at people in a new way. This whole modern
age of DIY manufacturing — I’m just totally into using that however I can to make art. Forty years ago, trying to talk to somebody with a small factory that would be willing to work on an art project was not that possible. These days, everybody’s so much more open to try different things.” Vokoun’s pieces are archival-quality prints with some curious features. Many of the compositions are series of horizontal bands in which variations in color and line are somewhat illusory, based on how one color can affect the appearance of another depending on their proximity within a composition. Many of Vokoun’s works are like color tapestries, appearing to mimic the warp and weft of textiles when in fact what This kind of work we’re looking at are arrangements of bits of is about starting data. Some pieces, notably Worm Field II, resemble the almost ordered ripple effect of with color and shape wind on the surface of water. Others, such as 1st Line Distortion, may put you in mind and working with the of “electronic noise,” the random dot patdata to bring about a terns and lines of analog television screens. Vokoun seeks precision in his finishsense of movement. ing, but the imagery itself is marked by an interplay of chaos and order. “There’s I’ve been hacking definitely some contradictions in the way different scanners I work. There’s some polarity. A lot of this work is trying take this chaos, all this and camera systems information around us, and congeal it into something that’s a quiet moment. Some to take imagery and of my pieces are pretty quiet, although spewing out this there’s all this chaos underneath. A lot of the lines that seem pretty straight always corrupted data in a lot have a little bit of a diagonal to them, and I usually balance them out by changing of different ways. width, but it’s pretty subtle. I’m always — John Vokoun fighting to have things be balanced but not static.” Vokoun began his current technique by using his own snapshots as source material. More recently, he has been scanning images of artworks by Itten and others. One work by Vokoun, installed at the international contemporary art fair Art Santa Fe in July, is called Elements of Duplicity. The piece contains two separate but related grids, one with 30 individual panels and one with 12. “Itten wrote several important books about color theory. He’s always been a big influence in my life. This body of work has a couple of different levels, but it’s sort of an homage to Itten, not just incorporating an abstract duplication of his paintings but also based on his contributions to color theory.” The title Elements of Duplicity references that the work is a duplication of Itten’s 1916 painting The Encounter. But Vokoun’s interpretation is highly abstracted. “I took that image and ran it through software that does an analysis of the colors of that painting and runs an algorithmic color chart based on that.” From right to left, the somewhat ordered patterns of one grid — horizontal bands of gradated hues derived from the color analysis of Itten’s painting — begin to dissipate into the apparently erratic formations of the second grid. The horizontal bands extend from one grid to the next, lending the work a cohesiveness when seen from a distance. But each separate panel can be regarded as a complete composition in itself. “The one thing I’ve always found when studying someone like Chuck Close is that at a certain viewing distance, it can be immaculate. As you go and really inspect the thing, it starts losing some of that flavor. He has this way of working where there’s at least two major viewing distances: way, way, way far back and way, way, way up close. I’ve always wanted to make every work fascinating from a distance and have the same fascination up close.” ◀ John Vokoun; Exactly, 2005, digital pigment, polyester and aluminum

t’’s definitely cool to look through a telescope and see the Man M in the Moon really close, but what do you think about a magnetic m field that’s so strong that a cubic inch of absolutely empty e space weighs thousands of tons? Now you’ve gone frrom the fun realm of amateur astronomy into the wacky sphere of astrophysics. “When you have a magnetic field, you have a magnetic density, and it’s so strong that the vacuum actually acts like it has mass,” said Ed Fenimore, an astrophysicist with deep credentials at Los Alamos National Laboratory. “This is how we explain some gamma-ray bursts. That’s a neutron star with an incredibly strong magnetic field, and the neutron star has a crust that can have earthquakes — or star quakes. When the crust moves, it sort of jiggles that field. You’re jiggling something that has an incredible amount of energy in it and some of that comes out and we see it. That’s called a soft gamma repeater.” Fenimore gives a talk, “From Pinholes to Black Holes,” on Sunday, Oct. 12, at the New Mexico History Museum. Appointed a LANL fellow in 1998, Fenimore is a two-time winner of the NASA Group Achievement Award and has won the Los Alamos Distinguished Performance Award nine times. He was a member of the 2007 team that won the Rossi Prize, the highest honor in high-energy astrophysics research. He was the lead LANL scientist on the Swift satellite, launched by NASA 10 years ago from Cape Canaveral. The heart of the Swift satellite is its Burst Alert Telescope that senses deep-space gamma-ray bursts — indicating the births of black holes — by means of a coded-aperture (pinhole) mask. Gamma rays are “like X-rays on steroids, higher-energy, basically with more oomph per proton,” Fenimore said. When a nuclear weapon is detonated, gamma rays are produced; after the 1963 test-ban treaty with the Russians, LANL sent up satellites with gamma-ray detectors to monitor enforcement. “We thought it would be easy,” he said, “because there were no other gamma-ray sources. But there were a lot of bumps in the data, showing up on multiple satellites. It was 1973 before it was realized that these were real objects, gamma-ray bursts, out there. It was such a surprise because of the feeling that stars are constant. In the beginning we couldn’t figure out how any star produced gamma rays. Soon there were two ideas: one that they were nearby, in our galaxy, and the other that they were very remote and much more powerful. The consensus was that they were in our galaxy.”
Then the National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched an experiment that found more than 2,704 gamma-ray bursts, and they were absolutely uniform in the sky. The camp that believed the bursts originated in our galaxy expected them to line up with the Milky Way, but they were spread across the sky, which meant they had to be very, very far away. The scientists realized they had to pinpoint the locations of the bursts. “It all came down to how we might image them. That’s a problem with gamma rays. You can’t use lenses or mirrors; they go through them rather than bounce. So what we developed at LANL was a pinhole array.” The nonuniform array of 52,000 pinholes produces thousands of overlapping images, but mathematical algorithms are employed to decode the complexity and reveal the source of each burst. The next steps involved the construction of robotic telescopes at locations around the world, including one in the Jemez Mountains, and of computer installations all around the equator, so the Swift satellite would always be “visible.” “Now you have this incredibly choreographed process where the satellite triggers and has to analyze the image of a burst, has to know where it’s pointed, has to get it down to one of the ground stations and onto the internet, and get it to the universities and observatories that have robotic telescopes that can swing over and search for the source. The whole process can happen in as little as 10 seconds. Sometimes gamma-ray bursts last for 100 seconds. “When the burst happens, it produces a very bright star. In one case, you could see it with your naked eye, and this is coming from virtually across the entire universe. We’re seeing one star in a faraway galaxy. They’re the brightest objects in the universe. So when it happens and you locate it, then you go see what’s there.” Fenimore said gamma-ray bursts occur about once a day somewhere in the universe. The farthest object ever seen is a gamma-ray burst found by the Swift satellite, developed by LANL, the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, and members of an international team as the first self-tasking satellite. “These gamma-ray bursts only last a few seconds, and you can’t have slowpoke humans involved. This is the genius work of [LANL astrophysicist] David Palmer. He wrote this beautiful software for a 25-megahertz machine; you use very old computers in space because they’re very reliable and they’re less susceptible continued on Page 26

David’s software not only maintains these 52,000 detectors, [but] it’s simultaneously running 800 triggers and doing imaging.” The Swift satellite, powered by photovoltaic panels, holds an optical telescope and an X-ray telescope as well as the Burst Alert Telescope. “When the software finds a gammaray burst, the satellite automatically swings over and looks at it. It’s self-tasking in the sense that it’s looking at all the imagery from the coded aperture and it’s deciding what to do next. Is there a new burst to look at? Or maybe a star that is typically steady just had an outburst and maybe it should go look at that. When there’s a burst, the data is sent to the ground for big computers to crunch, and they can’t do it better than David’s software does it onboard with a 25-megahertz computer.” The investigation of gamma-ray bursts in outer space continues. “It is still an extremely active field,” Fenimore affirmed. “Swift was named the second most scientifically productive satellite, and the Hubble is No. 4 on that list. For example, gamma-ray bursts are so bright that
they light up the whole universe between us and them, and we can use that to trace the evolution of the universe. It’s like having a big spotlight ... that’s the farthest object in the universe. “A black hole collapses and it produces jets out of its north and south poles, and they first emit gamma rays and then optical light. The light goes through all the intervening gas between us and the firstknown gamma-ray burst 13.3 billion years ago, and it can tell what elements there were, and it shows how the elements evolved, because the big bang [about 13.7 billion years ago] produced only three elements: hydrogen, helium, and a little lithium.” There are nearly 120 identified elements in the periodic table today. The coded-aperture imaging invented to localize gamma-ray bursts is still used in watching for clandestine nuclear weapons tests, because Los Alamos has monitoring responsibility for test-ban treaties to this day. It has also been useful in human medicine. Fenimore enjoys talking about gamma-ray bursts and other spacey matters to school groups, particularly fifth- and sixth-graders. “They can get some of the concepts and they can be excited by them,” he said. What about his own inspiration early on? Why did he want to study this field? “There’s this tremendous beauty in the marriage of calculus and physics, with such simple equations that end up explaining everything. And astrophysics is a field that really brings together all areas of physics, and with computer models we can model how stars change and grow over time. We know more about the insides of stars than we know about the inside of the Earth.” Fenimore reportedly retired in 2009, but he said he still works 50 hours a week — sometimes at LANL and sometimes at his Santa Fe home. “It’s too much fun.” ◀

album reviews
ABY NGANA DIOP Liital (Awesome Tapes From Africa) Awesome Tapes From Africa is that rare mp3 blog that has created its own audience by digitally rereleasing cassette albums from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, spanning the continent from Tripoli to Johannesburg. Its most recent offering, the reissue of Aby Ngana Diop’s mind-blowing 1994 album, should bring the singer to mainstream attention, even if posthumously. “DieuleulDieuleul,” the album’s lead track, is an intoxicating and nearly unclassifiable four minutes of gospel fervor, decadent dancehall and joyous call-and-response rap. Imagine Mahalia Jackson covering a medley of Tricky and Shabba Ranks in a Wolof-language rap-like singsong. That only begins to get at this record’s deeply weird, intensely soulful sound. This isn’t a case of Western listeners discovering the “exotic.” In her native Senegal, the singer was the first female taasukat, or heritage singer of ancestral poetry, to set her traditional lyrics against Mbalax, the country’s pulsating pop music, a hard-hitting amalgam of American rock and jazz, Afro-Latin salsa, and the country’s homegrown dance music. “Ndadje” which closes out this six-song record, is a glimpse into the traditional sound that griot singers like Diop were expected to perform. But with her booming voice, all-female chorus, and small cast of drummers amplified to sound like an Ohio State drum line at homecoming, her music sounds less traditional than prophetic, more futuristic than foreign. — Casey Sanchez SINKANE Mean Love (DFA Records) Sudanese-American musician Ahmed Gallab kicked around in the punk scene in Columbus, Ohio, before becoming a session musician and eventually settling on Sinkane as his own creative project. His 2012 breakout, Mars, was an OK album of handcrafted Afro funk seasoned with a hodgepodge of modern indie-rock touchstones. Mean Love shows considerable growth. Gallab only spends the first three songs using those Afro-indie influences to make what appears to be a Mars sequel before leaving that in the past and focusing his efforts on making a forward-thinking R&B album. The production is bolder, and Gallab seems to have better command of his falsetto, now richer and more capable of a wider range of emotion. Ever the musical nomad, he flirts with Motown on “Mean Love,” funk on “Hold Tight,” and samba on “Moonstruck,” while making it all his own: he uses a slide guitar in a country-music fashion on “Galley Boys,” but the song is Caribbean in feel. Given Gallab’s background, it’s difficult to argue with the notion that this is at least one of the ways that music can sound in a global culture. It’s an ever-surprising blend of textures and rhythms, tightly woven together by the singular vision of a gifted composer who was raised in several different cultures. Gallab has always been talented; Mean Love reveals that he is also a talent. — Robert Ker

RANDOM ACTS Play-away time
Most major orchestras promote chamber-music playing within their ranks, but there is probably none in the world that comes close to the Berlin Philharmonic, where 35 self-standing chamber ensembles operate beneath the orchestra’s banner. Where do they find the time? Well, the orchestra itself counts an unusually large roster of 128 members, which translates into a goodly amount of time off from orchestral duty for individual players. One of those groups, the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet, is joined by pianist Jon Nakamatsu for its American tour this fall, which includes a stop at the Lensic Performing Arts Center (211 W. San Francisco St.) on Sunday, Oct. 12, at 4 p.m., courtesy of Performance Santa Fe. On the program are Mozart’s Quintet for Piano and Winds (K. 452) and a transcription of his Fantasy for Mechanical Organ (K. 608), Paul Hindemith’s Kleine Kammermusik (Op. 24, No. 2), and the Sextet for Piano and Winds (Op. 6), composed in 1888 by Ludwig Thuille, a close friend of Richard Strauss.

Milking the goat
Char and Robby Rothschild, who perform as Round Mountain, play an allacoustic set at San Miguel Chapel, 401 Old Santa Fe Trail, at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10. Their new album, The Goat, honors the animal that provides skins for the djembe (a West African drum), gaida (Bulgarian bagpipes), and kora (African lute) and recalls an older, simpler lifestyle. Char sings and plays keys, strings, brass, dobro, guitar, trumpet, and pipes — specifically the accordion and bagpipes (both gaida and Highland pipes). Robby shares vocals, adds to the melodic and harmonic mix with the Irish bouzouki and the kora, and is the percussionist, playing djembe and the Peruvian cajon. The suggested donation is $10 to $20.

The beat of her own drum
When leading contemporary jazz drummer Allison Miller returns to town with her group, Boom Tic Boom, audiences can expect to hear much more than a booming bass drum and a ticking snare. Miller’s drumming style acknowledges the instrument’s deep jazz heritage, but she skillfully pushes the boundaries in the service of tasteful yet technical improvisation. The New York Citybased musician has toured regularly with Ani DiFranco and Dr. Lonnie Smith, as well as with her own seasoned quintet. In addition to Miller, Boom Tic Boom features Jenny Scheinman on violin, Kirk Knuffke on cornet, Myra Melford on piano, and Todd Sickafoose on bass. The combo plays a mix of new and old original compositions at Gig Performance Space (1808 Second St., www.gigsantafe.com) at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10.

The
operas. The disparity in those numbers reflects that a handful of the works will have been presented twice. Duplication began in 2013-2014 with a second broadcast of Aida, which had already been given in 2009-2010 — in the same production, no less, by Sonja Frisell. This is inevitable, given that the opera business depends very much on its classic repertoire. At the conclusion of the season now beginning, the list of repeated operas will comprise seven works: Aida, Tosca, La bohème, La Cenerentola, Carmen, Les contes d’Hoffmann, and the less frequently encountered piece that opens this new season, Verdi’s Macbeth.
ongoing health struggles. Whether you like this production of Macbeth will depend on whether you have patience for the conceit of post-World War communists brandishing AK-47s. Some months before it began, this broadcast season became famous for what it would not be airing: John Adams’ The Death of Klinghoffer, a 1991 opera that derived its plot from the 1985 takeover of the cruiseship Achille Lauro by members of the Palestine Liberation Front and their murder of a Jewish passenger. Caving in to protests alleging that the work was anti-Semitic, Gelb agreed to remove it from the Live in HD schedule, although Klinghoffer will be presented in the house. Attendees will doubtless have to make their way through picketers at Lincoln Center. Indeed, dissenters already descended for the Met’s opening night, which lent the odd impression that they had some argument with that evening’s opera, a politically potent piece called Le nozze di Figaro. Figaro will be next up on the Live in HD schedule, in a new production by Richard Eyre that moves the action from the 18th century to the 1930s, though maintaining Seville as the setting. (The Spanish Civil War is a favorite relocation for opera directors.) The cast includes two names familiar to Santa Fe Opera audiences. Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard portrays Cherubino; she made her debut here in that role in 2008, returned in 2011 for that Griselda of blessed memory, and will be back next summer as the female lead in the premiere of Jennifer Higdon’s Cold Mountain. Also on the roster is Susanne Mentzer, a graduate of St. Michael’s High School who got hooked on opera while working as an usher at Santa Fe Opera. After graduating from the aisle to the stage, she went on to an international career of great distinction and appeared here in three seasons, most recently in 2013 as Marcellina, the role she will reprise in the broadcast. The season continues with Carmen, again in a Richard Eyre production, again updated to Seville in the 1930s. Leonard will be back to head the cast in Il barbiere di Siviglia. (Seville again, though Bartlett Sher’s production keeps it set in olden days.)
Her suitor will be tenor Lawrence Brownlee, one of the high-flying tenors Santa Fe audiences heard in 2013 in La donna del lago. Operagoers prepared for a long sit can settle in for Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, an opera curiously not targeted for alleged anti-Semitism although it certainly could be. The Merry Widow, in a new production by Broadway director Susan Stroman, spotlights soprano Renée Fleming along with baritone Nathan Gunn; the latter is remembered here for valiantly trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear in the 2013 premiere of Oscar and may have better material to work with in next summer’s Cold Mountain. Watch for tenor Alek Shrader in the smaller part of Camille de Rosillon; he has appeared here in Albert Herring and Don Pasquale and will return next summer in La fille du régiment. Les contes d’Hoffmann is always a risky venture, and we shall see if tenor Vittorio Grigolo succeeds in

With Macbeth it is again a matter of revisiting a production already screened. Adrian Noble’s production (based on Verdi’s 1865 revision of the score) was new when it was beamed out during the second season, in January 2008, and here it comes again, with the title role entrusted to the same singer, the Serbian baritone Željko Luˇci´c. This time, however, Lady Macbeth is Anna Netrebko, the Met’s prima donna assoluta by virtual proclamation of the general manager, Peter Gelb. She upholds that status with flair, both onstage and off. Where many songstresses of recent decades have cultivated a “girl next door image” or otherwise nurtured a populist connection with their fans, Netrebko seems to exist above it all, her grandeur falling more in the tradition of divas of eld. Even when she strikes a casual pose, you can be sure she didn’t buy her form-fitting jeans at the outlet mall. Part of the delight of Netrebko is seeing whether her potentially magnificent voice proves to be in the mood for a certain role on a certain day. When everything lines up just so, the result is splendid. When it doesn’t — say, if her coloratura isn’t quite happening — she forges on anyway, endowing her interpretation with alluring vocal color and making up in authority what may be lacking in precision. This Macbeth cast also includes two of our most notable gentleman singers. Tenor Joseph Calleja (“The Maltese Tenor”) portrays noble Macduff, the role in which he made his operatic debut in 1997, at the age of nineteen. Of all our currently prominent tenors, Calleja is the one whose singing most insistently recalls the largely vanished style of an earlier era, balancing vocal luster, musical judiciousness, and expressive inflection in a way that echoes recordings of Gigli, Schipa, and Tagliavini: an old-fashioned voice in the best sense. Banquo is portrayed by René Pape, unrivaled among today’s basses, and the baton is wielded by Fabio Luisi, the Met’s often inspired principal conductor. It seems that Luisi is no longer likely to become the Met’s music director, but he won a devoted following in the house by deputizing during James Levine’s

pera lovers will flock to the Lensic Performing Arts Center this weekend for the beginning of the ninth season of The Met: Live in HD, the international broadcast series from the kingpin of American opera houses. The Met’s initiative began with six screenings during the 2006-2007 season, which were aired in just over a hundred movie theaters, mostly in the United States but also in Great Britain, Japan, and Norway. Audiences took to the screenings enthusiastically, and this year broadcasts are planned in some 2,000 theaters in 67 countries. The number of offerings also increased in succeeding seasons, reaching their peak with 12 operas each in 2010-2011 and 2012-2013. This year, the enterprise relaxes a bit, decreasing to the more normal level of 10 broadcasts; but because two of those are double bills, those 10 broadcasts will actually transmit 12 operas. By the end of this season, The Met: Live in HD will have beamed out 82 transmissions of 77 different

the taxing lead part, where so many others have faltered in awkwardness. Portraying the mechanical doll Olympia is Erin Morley, the lyric-coloratura soprano who triumphed here in last summer’s double bill of The Impresario and Le rossignol (she was also an impressive Queen of the Night here in the 2010 Zauberflöte). Kate Lindsey takes the part of Nicklausse (which she also sang here) and Thomas Hampson, Santa Fe’s curiously cast Scarpia in 2012’s Tosca, portrays the four villains. On the podium is the Canadian Yves Abel, who conducted stylishly at Santa Fe Opera for a couple of seasons more than a decade ago — L’italiana in Algeri in 2002, Così fan tutte in 2003 — but since then has mostly appeared in European houses (in addition to the Met). One wishes that Santa Fe might snag him again, particularly for something French. The first of the double bills arrives with an intriguing combination of Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta (which you probably haven’t seen) and Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle (which you may have and should again). Netrebko again holds sway (along with the excellent Polish tenor Piotr Beczala in Iolanta), and the mesmerizing Valery Gergiev conducts. We mentioned Santa Fe’s presentation of La donna del lago in connection with Lawrence Brownlee. Not long before that production opened, the Metropolitan Opera decided to sign on as a co-producer. I didn’t understand why; the production was so sparse that one would have thought something similar could have been concocted by anyone willing to pick up a few things at Hobby Lobby. Anyway, it’s one of those operas that is justified solely by its singing and that we had in spades thanks to mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato. She reprises her part when the Metropolitan offers it this winter, now partnered by tenor Juan Diego Flórez. We’ll see if the scenery gets eked out for presentation in the big house — say, by adding the lake mentioned in the title, which we lacked. Another double bill, also in a new production, concludes the broadcast season: the traditional pairing of Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci, which director David McVicar sets in the same Sicilian village at two different times (Cav around 1900, Pag in 1948). A Santa Fe resident appears in a principal role: soprano Patricia Racette, who takes the knife as the much-abused Nedda in Pag. There was some suspense this year about whether the season would take place at all, threatened as it was by thorny contract negotiations. The national press — and of course the blogosphere — covered the proceedings at a high pitch, but it hardly seemed surprising that a major performing-arts organization should traverse some rocky terrain on the way to a labor agreement. That’s what almost always happens these days. At this moment, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is sidelined through a lockout of its musicians. In opera’s homeland, the Rome Opera didn’t even bother to engage in a labor negotiation; on Oct. 2, it announced it would simply fire its entire

orchestra and chorus — 182 performers — as a costsaving measure and hire new musicians at lower salaries before opening its season. The Met’s negotiations were no easy task, as Gelb had to balance the company’s financial concerns with the demands of 12 separate labor unions (though mostly the orchestra players’ American Federation of Musicians and the choristers’ and dancers’ American Guild of Musical Artists, behind which the other unions could be expected to fall in line). Both sides naturally portrayed the other as greedy and insensitive, but everybody managed to get on the same page in time for the season to start as scheduled. Gelb does not lack for detractors, and he does not seem to worry much about currying warm feelings with the press or anyone else who is not likely to write large checks to his organization. But his job, or at least a big part of it, is to train a steady gaze on the financial ledgers, and being magnanimous to employees does not jibe well with that mandate. On Oct. 1, the day before the Rome Opera invited chaos with its peremptory action, the Met was told it is to be reviewed by Moody’s Investors Service, which is considering downgrading the company’s fiscal rating, perhaps by several notches, to “reflect softening in earned income and gift revenue” — this notwithstanding the $22 million the company is expected to save annually through its new union agreements. This was far from the first contentious labor negotiation the Met has survived, and it will surely not be its last. One is repeatedly reminded of that point by a new book released last month by the University of California Press. Grand Opera: The Story of the Met, by Charles Affron and Mirella Jona Affron, chronicles the history of America’s leading opera house from the run-up to its opening night in 1883
to the dismantling (in May 2013) of “The Machine,” which many viewers — and singers — had grown to despise in the course of the company’s recent presentation of Der Ring des Nibelungen. The book is full of facts, but I didn’t find it enjoyable to read. As the authors wend through the company’s 130 years, they fall into a repetitive mode of presentation that lulls rather than stimulates. Every production gets cited along with the singers in the casts and maybe a few sentences about what made a particular production notable. Lists, lists, lists — and there are only so many ways to turn them into compelling prose. Interspersed throughout are mini-profiles of big stars and important figures in the Met’s management, “mini” meaning not long enough to convey the flavor of these often-temperamental personalities. Certain moments in the company’s history provide jumping-off points for brief discursions about broader topics: say, the ups and downs of bel canto repertoire through the Met’s history, how the Met has dealt with racial issues, or the postperestroika surge in Slavic performers. It’s a worthy attempt to vitalize the narrative, but the result is jerky and discombobulating. The book comes more alive at about the time when the authors’ firsthand experience of the Met must have begun, which I’m guessing to be around 1960. An opera lover might accordingly place it on the shelf next to John Briggs’ Requiem for a Yellow Brick Brewery (1969), which traces the history of the company from its founding to its relocation from its historic home at 39th Street and Broadway to its digs at Lincoln Center, which opened in 1966. Briggs was also faced with the need to compress the narrative, but somehow he managed to achieve a more engaging book while doing so. Of course, he had less history to contend with — half a century’s worth. ◀

Jennifer Levin I The New Mexican
TRAVEL JOURNALIST TOM SLEIGH
38
PASATIEMPO I October 10-16, 2014
Annette Hornischer
Tom T m Sleigh’s eighth book of p ry, Station Zed, forthcoming poetr frrom m Graywolf Press in January 2015 5, his experiences as a travel journalist in Lebanon, Somalia, Iraq, and Libya mingle with thoughts about his estranged twin brother, climate change, his identity as a poet writing about war, and the Irish poet Seamus Heaney. His travel essays, which have appeared in the Virginia Quarterly Review, are visceral and personal, like wading into a dense poem you’ll have to read more than once to fully understand — but even Sleigh’s more immediately accessible flashes of insight are going to stick with you. Sleigh, director and senior poet at Hunter College’s MFA creative writing program, has received numerous awards, including the American Academy of Arts and Letters 2011 John Updike Award and the 2008 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. He reads from his new book and answers questions about his travels on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at Santa Fe University of Art and Design. In advance of his visit, the poet told Pasatiempo that he tries as hard as he can in his essays to “avoid broad strokes in favor of the small picture, the local details, and intimate truths that make up daily life.” It can take him several years — and several visits — before a place has imprinted on his nervous system.
Pasatiempo: How long have you been involved in travel journalism to war zones and conflict regions? Tom Sleigh: I started doing this kind of journalism back in 2007, when I was asked to go to Lebanon just after the 2006 Israeli-Lebanese War to write about Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Syria. I didn’t anticipate a war, but the moment my plane touched down in Beirut, a mini civil war broke out when a huge car bomb exploded in the ABC shopping mall. Pasa: What led you to pursue this kind of writing? Sleigh: I used to feel like I lived in a hell of abstractions, of media images, of jabbering, competing ideologies. Now, when I think about Iraq, I know what the Tigris and Euphrates rivers look like. I know what kind of hairstyle young Iraqi men think is cool: ram’s-wool
curls on top, with long sideburns razored close to the head. Those sorts of details make me feel grounded. Pasa: Please describe your new book and the function of its sections. Each section begins with an homage to poets or folk heroes — Mary Hamilton, Basho, Zinedine Zidane, César Vallejo. Sleigh: Each of the homages pays its respects to a person, or a way of writing, or both. And ... the people mentioned in the poems are figures who are outsiders, resisters to the status quo, people whose path through life eventually pits them against a hostile authority. I’m making common cause with them. So without my having to say anything too explicit about “my views,” the kinship I feel with them says a lot about how I think about politics and power, social justice and poetic justice. Pasa: In contemporary American poetry there is something of a bias against mixing it with politics. How do you feel about that “rule”? Is the way you write poems about wars happening elsewhere different from inserting domestic or social politics, like feminism or racial equality, into poems? Sleigh: When I write about Lebanon or Mogadishu or Iraq, I think of those poems not as poems about events happening elsewhere but [about] events that have everything to do with how Americans conceive of their freedoms and their responsibilities to one another here at home. Also, you might say I’m addressing issues of feminism and racial equality in the subtext of a poem like “Homage to Mary Hamilton,” in which a relatively helpless serving woman is made pregnant
by a king, aborts her baby to escape detection, and then is put to death when the murder is discovered. I suspect all my poems can be mapped onto the United States, no matter where they occur. Pasa: Why is it so unfashionable in America to write about convictions? Sleigh: I’m not sure if it is or isn’t fashionable, but for me a political emotion, as opposed to a conviction, is what interests me in poetry. Political emotions are contradictory; they require a fresh response every time, both linguistically and formally. They partake of political convictions, but only [as far as they are] put to the test in a poem. Pasa: Do you consider the poems you write about your travels to be poetry of witness? Sleigh: I think “poetry of witness” was once a useful term, but things have moved on. In an age like ours, in which so many different viewpoints can be broadcast over digital media, the idea that one person can stand in front of history and tell us how to feel about it seems like nostalgia. So I like to think of my poems as sharp rocks in the pith of your palm. You can squeeze them hard until it hurts, [but] they endure, they won’t be worn away or reduced to anything but themselves. Pasa: How does volunteering to go to these areas and then writing about those experiences differ from a poet who is living through or with war as a matter of circumstance? Sleigh: I remember traveling to Qana in southern Lebanon, where the young man who took me there was one of the first members of the Red Cross allowed into the village after a bombing. In the smoke and semi-darkness, he came across a little girl buried up to her neck in rubble. So he dug down with his bare hands as far as her armpits, took hold of her under her arms, lifted her free — and discovered she’d been blown in half. He looked as if he were about to tear up. I told him he didn’t have to go on with his story, but he looked me in the eye, and said, “I’ll tell you what happened, but you must promise to tell my story.” I’d never felt such a sense of responsibility, almost a kind of I used to feel like I lived commission, in all my life. in a hell of abstractions, As to how a cultural outsider of media images, of jabbering, can tell the story, that’s a differcompeting ideologies. ent question. One thing I think is crucial, though, is to find a N o w, w h e n I t h i n k a b o u t I r a q , way to acknowledge the limits I k n o w w h a t t h e Ti g r i s a n d of what you can know and to Euphrates rivers look like. be honest about what it is you I k n ow what kind of hairstyle don’t know.

Those sorts of details make the linguistic or emotional gifts me feel grounded. to tell a compelling story about those circumstances. Among — To m S l e i g h the best books I’ve ever read about the Palestinian uprisings is Jean Genet’s Prisoner of Love. Pasa: Are you trying to give voice to the voiceless, as some might put it? Sleigh: The notion that the writer gives voice to the voiceless seems to me like self-delusion. I wonder how many of these writer-spokesmen ever stopped to ask the so-called “voiceless” how they feel about being called that. Besides, no one is voiceless if you really stop to think about it: people express themselves in how they dress, by what they eat, by the music they sing or listen to, and in a thousand other ways. ◀

Fighting words Bill Kohlhaase I For The New Mexican
Max Blumenthal
A
Journalist Max Blumenthal challenges assumptions about Israel
40
PASATIEMPO I October 10-16, 2014
dvocate journalist Max Blumenthal’s first book, Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement That Shattered the Party, earned admiring words from editors at The New Yorker and The New York Times. The 2009 bestseller and subject of a long interview on National Public Radio’s Fresh Air focused on the dysfunction of the Republican far right. Blumenthal’s 2013 book, Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel, also follows the ascendency of far-right influence. But the book has largely been ignored by corporate and even left-leaning media. What attention it has received, largely on political websites, has mostly come from the controversy it has stirred. In an exchange of emails from London, Blumenthal told Pasatiempo of the different treatment the two books received. “Goliath was studiously ignored by the influential outlets that gave oxygen to Republican Gomorrah (NPR comes to mind); its success demonstrated the power of Twitter and other forms of social media, where some readers live-tweeted the book and others held book-club style discussions of it, and of online media in general. I think my book tour demonstrated how weak the traditional gatekeepers of the Israel-Palestine debate have become.” That gatekeeping involves the kind of attacks that came after Goliath’s publication. Journalist Eric Alterman got the tempest started, reviewing the book in October 2013 under the headline “The I Hate Israel Handbook” in The Nation (a publication Blumenthal has also written for). Blumenthal responded later in the same magazine. In a blog post Alterman said Goliath “could have been published by the Hamas-Book-of-the-Month Club.” Other writers jumped in and the attacks grew to include Blumenthal’s father, journalist and former Bill Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal. The elder Blumenthal’s support for the book, coupled with his Clinton history, led pundits to speculate how the book, with its harsh criticism of Israel, might affect a possible Hillary Clinton presidential bid in 2016. Max Blumenthal was not surprised at the reaction. “I assumed that once one prominent pro-Israel intellectual writer went after my book, others would join in. Initially, pro-Israel partisans attempted to ignore the book, but after Alterman initiated his obsessive series of blog posts and columns assailing the book and my character, the smears and attacks snowballed.” Despite the paucity of major media notice, the back-and-forth generated a lot of interest in the book. “The campaign against Goliath ultimately backfired on those who waged it,” said Blumenthal, “not only because an array of Israel-Palestine
experts and journalists debunked every single one of [the criticisms] or because figures like Atlantic [correspondent] James Fallows rose in defense of the book, but because they wound up drawing widespread attention to the critique of Israel contained in the book’s pages.” Blumenthal spent four years researching Goliath, including a year in Israel and Palestine conducting interviews with all sides. He frequently uses the words of Israeli politicians against them, and he accuses the Israeli right of intimidating the Israeli left. In an interview earlier this year for Guernica magazine, Blumenthal explained, “What I have tried to do in my journalism is to document the state of the Zionist left and Israel’s ‘enlightened public’ in its current phase. And what I have found is a largely detached sector of society that has little ability to influence the facts on the ground and which has turned inward, into their Tel Aviv bubble.” In America, the book was largely ignored by the press, even as pro-Israeli tracts were celebrated. The effect, something Blumenthal describes as “approaching conspiracy,” seems to support his suggestion that the media is intimidated by rightward proIsraeli forces in both countries. “The New York Times did not review my book but gave undue coverage to another book about Israel that appeared at the same time: My Promised Land, by Ari Shavit.” In that book, Shavit acknowledged the suffering caused by the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians from large tracts of their land to make way for the new state of Israel, but he also praised the militias who did the “dirty, filthy work that enables my people, myself, my daughter, and my sons to live.” “That book, which centered [on] the author’s justification of mass ethnic cleansing, seemed to have been deployed as a buffer against my book and against so many critical narratives on Israel-Palestine that have been emerging in progressive Jewish circles,” Blumenthal said. His book, he added, is directed at the American audience. “I have attempted to expose Israel to Americans as other journalists have tried to expose the tobacco industry, the Mafia, and the Jim Crow South. If anything makes me unique, it’s that I’ve persevered while so many other journalists flinch, often because they don’t want the trouble that comes with presenting the brutal but painfully clear reality. I am happy to correct errors and have done so, but I’ve learned that if you give a single inch to pro-Israel partisans, they will take a mile — just as the Israeli government has done on the ground in Palestine.” Goliath opens with an account of the Dec. 27, 2008, air attack on graduation ceremonies being held at a new Hamas
SunSet RideS SunSet/Moonlight RideS
Horseback Riding police academy, the opening shot of “Operation Cast Lead.” That and other attacks that day killed some 240 Palestinians, according to Blumenthal. The Israeli action was in retaliation for Palestinian rocket attacks in November that were themselves a response to an earlier Israeli operation in Gaza that killed six Hamas members. Reading the story, one can’t help but see parallels with the Israeli invasion of Gaza that took place this summer. Blumenthal lets readers know where the facts he’s gathered have led him. His reporting counters claims that only combatants are targeted. Of the 2008 strikes, he wrote, “The initial volley of precision-guided weapons was aimed at civilian targets, from universities to factories to family homes.”Blumenthal rejects the idea that journalists can or should be objective, and he doesn’t mind stating what he knows in the strongest terms. “Most Western correspondents attempt to cover Israel as though it were a normal European country, even those who witnessed the slaughter of hundreds of children in Gaza this summer. It is not. It is an apartheid state oppressing millions of people because they are not the right religion or ethnicity. This is just a fact.” Nor is Blumenthal afraid of being seen as an advocate. “I would So many other not be able to enjoy my work as journalists flinch, often a journalist if I did not see it as a form of advocacy for causes I because they don’t want deeply care about. However, my the trouble that comes advocacy would not be convincwith presenting the brutal ing if my journalism was not factual and ethical.” but painfully clear reality. Blumenthal has a reputation — Max Blumenthal for taking on controversial subjects and not backing down from attacks that are leveled at his work. “I was raised in a particular environment in Washington, D.C., where politics defined my everyday existence, not only at home but in the wider environment where I lived, which was riven by race and conflict. My family’s background prepared me for the combative environment and confrontational nature of journalism, especially around the issues that I’ve chosen to cover.” Like Blumenthal’s previous book on the Republican right, Goliath is character based, telling its stories by examining the words and deeds of the individuals who push radical notions as well as those resisting them. Both books are about the influence these individuals have in defining the accepted wisdom, true or not, and shaping public discourse. And he doesn’t see the phenomenon limited to the American and Israeli right. “Since I began writing Republican Gomorrah, I’ve gained a fairly solid understanding of right-wing populism — why it appeals to regular people and how it affects societies in the West. So there is a clear arc to my work that made Goliath a natural follow-up. Because of the anachronistic structure of the state of Israel — it is the only active settler-colonial country in the world — its society turned comprehensively militaristic, hypernationalist and messianic. It shows no sign of turning back. The impact of this development on Jewish Israelis and Palestinians may be frightening, but it is not exceptional. It is simply a severe vision of the developments we are witnessing across the United States and Europe and a warning of what will be if those of us who embrace a more humane vision fail to intervene.” ◀

he Santa Fe Independent Film Festival begins Wednesday, Oct. 15, and continues through Sunday, Oct. 19. Screenings are at the Center for Contemporary Arts, The Screen, Jean Cocteau Cinema, and the Lensic Performing Arts Center. Look for expanded coverage in next week’s Pasatiempo; this week we review a few movies from the first two days of SFIFF, including opening-night films The Tribe and Rhymes for Young Ghouls. There is also an interview with Henry Corra, the co-director of Farewell to Hollywood, about a teenage girl’s struggle to make a film after a diagnosis of cancer. The highlight of Thursday night is the U.S. premiere of the first two segments of Olive Kitteridge, the HBO miniseries based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel in stories by Elizabeth Strout, starring Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins, and Bill Murray. The screening is open only to festival pass-holders; individual tickets can be purchased for all other screenings and education panels. A full schedule of films and events is available at www.santafeindepentdentfilmfestival.com, and tickets are available through Tickets Santa Fe at the Lensic, www.ticketssantafe.org, or 505-988-1234. — Jennifer Levin
THE TRIBE
The Tribe opens with a deaf teenage boy (played by Grigoriy Fesenko) arriving at a boarding school for deaf students in Kiev, Ukraine. Though he speaks sign language, we get no translation in the form of subtitles. The movie has no spoken, audible dialogue, only ambient sound. Though this makes understanding the nuances of plot and character motivation difficult, the film takes its time in scenes, letting action as mundane as climbing

At first, it seems as though the boy — none of the characters’ names are revealed — is having trouble fitting in with some bullies, but then it becomes clear that some of the older students are involved with a local crime syndicate. They force the younger boys to sell trinket toys on trains, and they bring two of their female classmates, one a blonde and one a brunette, to a truck stop at night and pimp them out to the drivers.
feelings are genuinely romantic or if he is a predator. The girl’s feelings are similarly hard to read: Is this a financial arrangement or does she love him? Menace and violence mount in The Tribe, which has relatively graphic sex scenes. The sense of Kiev as old, dilapidated, and populated entirely by criminals — or people who are beyond feeling — pervades the movie, giving the characters the air of street urchins from a Dickens novel, as reimagined by Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh. The most complicated relationship is between the two girls, who clearly have different reasons for the choices they make. The acting is solid, even masterful, as we see the boy — whom we like, whom we think of as a victim — emerge from his cocoon.

SOUL OF A BANQUET
The Joy Luck Club director Wayne Wang’s new documentary is a tender portrait of Cecilia Chiang, founder of San Francisco’s internationally renowned restaurant The Mandarin, which opened in 1961. Chiang was born in China to a domineering mother and kindly father as the seventh daughter in a family with 12 children. She learned to cook from her mother, sampling international foods and spirits at a young age. The Mandarin was the result of a happy mistake: Chiang helped to finance the restaurant with a group of investors who all backed out, leaving her at the helm when her three-month visa for travel to the U.S. had nearly expired. In the early 1960s, finding authentic, gourmet Chinese food was difficult, as few trained Chinese chefs were in the U.S. Chiang avoided the kinds of menu offerings of San Francisco’s Chinatown, opting instead to introduce the city to authentic, healthful Chinese cooking. The Mandarin focused on seasonal meals and ingredients that balanced color, texture, and taste to create an aesthetic dining experience. Her cooks learned to prepare banquet-style meals, learning which course should come first and why.
A brief return to her family in the mid-’70s during the Cultural Revolution was a shock for Chiang. The Red Guards’ shouts of “Long live Chairman Mao” struck Chiang as no different from the cries of “Heil Hitler” during World War II. She describes an emotional and disturbing visit with her terminally ill father. From him she learned her family had become beggars during the revolution, and her mother had disappeared four years earlier. A sister had committed suicide after being tortured and publicly humiliated for singing opera; her own daughter had turned her in to officials. The government, suspicious of anything bourgeois and intellectual, forced even famous chefs to change their occupation, a fate Chiang managed to avoid. As it progresses, the film’s scenes of meals being prepared, interspersed with the interviews, build to a welcome feast. Chiang wasn’t just making food but providing a context: classic Chinese cooking’s long tradition. — Michael Abatemarco 100 minutes, 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, and 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17, Center for Contemporary Arts, 3 chiles
Devery Jacobs
RHYMES FOR YOUNG GHOULS
Seven years after witnessing a tragic accident that resulted in her mother’s suicide, Aila, a 15-year-old resident of Canada’s Red Crow Mi’gmaq reservation, turns to dealing drugs. She uses the money to pay off truancy officers and avoid a stint at St. Dymphna’s, a Catholic reform school where Native children are brutalized by the sadistic Indian agent Popper (Mark Antony Krupa), who runs the school. Set in 1976, Jeff Barnaby’s powerful drama, which he wrote and directed, paints a bleak portrait of reservation life at a time when Indian agents used their authority to bully and intimidate First Nations people. When the quick-witted, coolheaded Aila (Devery Jacobs) finds her drug money stolen, trouble looms. Soon, Popper will be coming around for his take. Complicating matters, her distant father, Joseph (Glen Gould), has just been released from prison and Popper has it in for the man. After years of abuse at the hands of the agents, Aila and her friends plot sweet revenge. The rich characterizations are spot on, and Rhymes for Young Ghouls manages to reach some emotional heights thanks to the expert casting, although the film relies too heavily on dream sequences that reflect the inner life of its protagonist. Jacobs convincingly portrays Aila as a young girl forced to hide behind a tough facade as her world crumbles around her. Things take a turn for the worse when Aila is sent to St. Dymphna’s, essentially becoming Popper’s prisoner. But Aila’s friends aren’t willing to let her disappear into that black hole, and this sets up the final confrontation with Popper. The performances are powerful and compelling all the way around, and the film has an honest way of dealing with its protagonists, who are downtrodden from the violence inflicted on them from outside. When you’re at the bottom, where else can you go but underground? The cold, austere Canadian environment enhances the atmosphere. Barnaby has crafted a haunting film that is as surprising in its tenderness as it is shocking in its violence. — M.A. 88 minutes, rated R, 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15, Jean Cocteau Cinema, 3 chiles

FAREWELL TO HOLLYWOOD
Corra told Pasatiempo. “I said I didn’t, exactly, but I accepted what she was telling me. She said it was very important to her to have one person in her life for whom it was OK for her to die, because her parents, her friends, and the people from her church were really struggling, and it was really hard for her.” The film, which has been playing at festivals, has met with favorable audience response, although some critics call it “controversial.” No matter what might be intimated in reviews or synopses of the film found on the internet, Corra and Nicholson’s relationship was platonic, a meeting of two artistic minds in the right place and time, despite their 37-year age difference. And, luckily for Nicholson, Corra turns out to be someone she can count on when her parents begin to fracture psychologically because of her illness, resenting Corra and the time their daughter spends with him trying to finish the film. The two edited the movie in real time over two years; Nicholson was involved in the process until four days before her death, which is shown in unflinching detail. “One of the things she was insistent upon, and made gallows-humor jokes about, was that I had to include her dead body,” Corra said. “‘Make sure I leave a beautiful corpse,’ she said. She would always make you laugh. No matter how dire the situation, she would always crack a joke under her breath.” Farewell to Hollywood is an unsentimental portrayal of suffering by a girl who refuses to surrender to the abyss of illness until the last possible moment, a dedicated artist for whom completing the project of her life is just as important as her death. We see her remove her hair, which has only just grown in, after the start of another round of chemo, and we see her laughing, wearing a wig and trying on the identity of a platinum blonde, her eyes filled with a knowing that is both jaded and open to life. — J.L.
When diagnosed with cancer, some people embrace positive thinking, hoping that hope will cure them. Others fall into depression over the all-consuming nature of treatment, and still others accept what fate brings with preternatural calm, neither putting their faith in a miracle nor denying happiness in the face of a terminal prognosis. Children are often the most accepting of their disease, which can be a sharp contrast to their parents’ excruciating pain. Farewell to Hollywood, a documentary co-directed by Henry Corra and Regina Diane Nicholson, shows the fissures that grow between Nicholson, a teenager with terminal osteosarcoma, and her parents when she decides not to shut herself off from the world to wait for death. Her life’s goal is to make a film, and Nicholson, who goes by the nickname Reggie, is not giving up her chance; this arrives when she is seventeen and meets creativenonfiction filmmaker Corra at the Silverdocs film festival (now called AFI Docs). Nicholson’s mother asked if he would make a film about her daughter, and he agreed — with the stipulation that Nicholson be his equal creative partner. “Reggie took me aside during the first few days of 90 minutes, not rated, 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, shooting and asked if I knew she was going to die,” Jean Cocteau Cinema, 3.5 chiles 44

LaDonna Harris (Comanche) grew up near Walters, Oklahoma, during the Great Depression. She met her husband, Fred Harris, in high school. He went on to become a U.S. senator, opening the door for his wife to influence federal legislation affecting Indians. LaDonna Harris: Indian 101, directed by Julianna Brannum, is an understated documentary about a period of history that Americans should know more about. Interviews with Harris, her husband, their children, and various Washington insiders are interspersed with a wealth of vintage pictures from the 1930s to the 1970s. Harris arrived in Washington not long before Indian activists got the attention of politicians and the media. Though critics said Harris did little more than throw parties, these social gatherings gave her access to the people most able to effect real change, and no one ever left her home uneducated about Indian issues. In the documentary, Harris says she had the same agenda as groups like the American Indian Movement, but she just had a different way of getting things done. Harris charmed the Washington elite. She was the first wife of a senator to testify before a congressional committee, and President Lyndon Johnson assigned her to educate the House and Senate about the relationship between Indian tribes and the federal government. She went on to work with Richard Nixon on numerous initiatives, including the return of Blue Lake to Taos Pueblo and the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, passed by Congress in 1975. Harris’ accomplishments are legendary, and the respect she has earned is obvious in the ways others speak about her. Interviews with her then-husband add a warmth to this traditional documentary. The standout element of Indian 101 is the score, which sets a tone of anticipation and potential as the story moves forward in time, incorporating influences of Native drumming and musical styles of the 1960s and ’70s. — J.L. 63 minutes, not rated, 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, Center for Contemporary Arts, 3 chiles ◀
Come join us for the Western only Mel Brooks could create. Voted No. 6 on AFI’s 100 Years ...100 Laughs, Blazing Saddles features a brilliant cast that includes Brooks and an Oscar®-nominated Madeline Kahn and Santa Fe’s own David Huddleston.

Though the title of this film sounds like an upper-level course at Parsons, it’s actually based on a blog — www.advancedstyle.blogspot.com — by a young man named Ari Seth Cohen that celebrates exuberant, vivacious older women. The Bill Cunningham for the strictly silver-haired set, Cohen began roaming the streets of New York in 2008 to photograph stylish women over the age of 50. His blog drew a following, which led to a book deal and now a movie. Advanced Style follows seven women as they discuss their personal style and clothing choices. Joyce Carpati, who studied opera and worked for Cosmopolitan, is classically elegant in the manner of Grace Kelly and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Ilona Royce Smithkin makes her own false eyelashes from the trimmings of her coppery-red hair. Tziporah Salamon proudly proclaims that she sometimes takes years to assemble one outfit. Zelda Kaplan, who died in 2012 during production of the film, made her own clothing from tribal textiles. Jackie Murdoch once danced at the Apollo Theater; during the course of the film, she was hired to model for Lanvin. The creative Debra Rapoport builds colorful ensembles by scouring thrift stores. Lynn Dell Cohen runs a flashy Upper West Side boutique and considers her outfits her “costumes.” It’s all entertaining, even if the movie ultimately feels like a filmed version of the blog — images and interviews captured on video rather than with camera and pen. Clothes do not maketh the woman, though. Ideally, they intrigue us and encourage us to look closer. That seems to be the major flaw of Advanced Style: it flits along the surface, rarely delving into the personalities behind the pearls. We glimpse some of the aches and pains of old age and get the sense that some of these women have regrets, some are angry, some are lonely, some are frustrated exhibitionists and wannabe divas. First-time director Lina Plioplyte doesn’t take the time to explore any of this, though (this is especially strange given the film’s brief 72-minute running time, which barely qualifies it as a feature). Any hints of rivalry among the women are mentioned quickly, (seemingly) resolved, and never revisited. The film is pragmatically shot. Plioplyte offers no unnecessary flourishes or animation and devotes little screen time to talking heads (other than the film’s subjects, that is). But it lacks narrative structure and trajectory — insofar as we expect those things from a documentary. This allows Advanced Style to maintain a pleasantly upbeat tone, but it leaves it feeling slight. Still, there’s nothing wrong with passing an hour or so watching a charming, affectionate, diverting documentary about beautiful, well-dressed golden girls. If nothing else, they’re a good reminder that sometimes youth is indeed wasted on the young. — Laurel Gladden

In Washington, D.C., she charmed and influenced politicians, informing them of Indian concerns about treaty termination and assimilation. Harris’ accomplishments are the stuff of legend, and the respect she has earned is obvious in the ways others speak about her.

LEVITATED MASS The story of Michael Heizer’s monolithic creation Levitated Mass, a large rock installed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is more compelling than you might expect. The unconventional work generated controversy in part because it’s not really a sculpture at all but unworked stone blasted from a quarry and suspended over a pedestrian pathway. The film details the infrastructure that was required to deal with the logistical nightmare of transport and installation while city officials, concerned about a 340-ton rock moving through the community, held
up the process. Levitated Mass has a solemn power: it’s a reminder of, on the one hand, the insignificance of humankind in the greater scheme of things and, on the other, our ingenuity and ability to conquer monumental tasks. Not rated. 88 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe.

James Corden plays Potts, the son of a working-class family, in this film about how he became a television star. While the film plays fast and loose with the comic aspects of how it all transpired, it promises to teach the time-worn lesson about the importance of never giving up on your dream, no matter how silly it may seem.

The arrival of her father (Glen Gould) on the Red Crow Mi’gmaq reservation where she lives sets off a chain of events leading to a confrontation with Popper (Mark Antony Krupa), a sadistic Indian agent who delights in picking on the downtrodden. Director Jeff Barnaby’s atmospheric film, set in 1976, is a glimpse of the brutality First Nations people faced at the hands of government thugs.

Interviews with Chiang and others are interspersed with delectable scenes
of classic Chinese meals being prepared. Chiang’s restaurant, the result of a happy accident, turned out authentic meals for decades, influencing the direction Chinese cooking would take in America. But the restaurateur’s personal heartache of seeing her family driven apart by Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution underscores this moving portrait. Not rated. 100 minutes.

(Not reviewed) THE TRIBE All dialogue in this film is sign language, and there are no subtitles. The setting is a boarding school for deaf students in Ukraine. Violence builds, and sex scenes are relatively graphic. The sense of Kiev as old, dilapidated, and populated entirely by criminals — or people who are beyond feeling — pervades the movie. It gives the characters the air of street urchins from a Dickens novel, as reimagined by Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh. Not rated. 130 minutes.

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY This thriller, based on a 1964 novel by Patricia Highsmith (The Talented Mr. is Ripley), the chilly, menacing story of a con man (Viggo Mortensen), his wife (Kirsten Dunst), and an American expat (Oscar Isaac) they meet while vacationing in Athens. Mortensen’s character is on the run from an investment fraud in the U.S., which leads to a shocking early confrontation that gives all three characters an incentive to vanish. The performers have dark fun with what ensues: a road trip that, from the start, doesn’t seem likely to end well. Rated PG-13. 96 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Alex Heard)

(Not reviewed) BOYHOOD Richard Linklater’s extraordinary achievement has been to take a six-year-old named Ellar Coltrane and film him for a few days every year for a dozen years. We watch as the boy grows up and makes his way through childhood’s adventures and discoveries, arriving on the brink of young adulthood as the movie ends. It’s not just that 12 real years pass and Linklater holds the whole thing together. It’s the way it happens, the way he tells the story. Rated R. 166 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards) THE BOXTROLLS In this feature by some of the creators of ParaNorman and Coraline, Isaac Hempstead-Wright voices a plucky orphan who was raised by trash-collecting trolls. When his adopted family comes under threat from an exterminator (voiced by Ben Kingsley), he has to fight back. The heroes aren’t developed enough for audiences to feel fully invested in the story, but the tone is delightfully macabre, and the world — with its twisting back alleys and toothy scoundrels — reflects the considerable effort that went into building it. Rated PG. 96 minutes. Screens in 3-D and 2-D at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. Screens in 2-D only at DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker) THE CONFORMIST Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1970 masterpiece was lovingly restored a few years ago under the supervision of its great cinematographer Vittorio Storaro. Adapted from the novel by Alberto Moravia, it tells the story of Marcello Clerici ( JeanLouis Trintignant), traumatized sexually as a boy and desperate to fit in as an adult. In Italy in the late 1930s, this drives him to join the fascists, become a secret agent, and accept an assignment to assassinate an exiled anti-fascist who was his philosophy professor. Bertolucci’s screenplay is complex and fascinating, but the visuals make the most enduring impression. The performances are consistently excellent. Rated R, 111 minutes. In Italian and French with subtitles. The Screen, Santa Fe.

THE DROP The film farewell tour of James Gandolfini ends with his sharply honed performance as a small-time Brooklyn hood in this taut, subtle, satisfying drama. He plays Cousin Marv, the former owner of a Brooklyn bar that doubles as a “drop” — a depository and laundry for mob earnings. The dominant performance in this darkly funny, slyly creepy tale comes from Tom Hardy, who plays Marv’s cousin and bartender. There’s a fullish slate of violence here, but none of it feels gratuitous, and Dennis Lehane’s needle-sharp dialogue plays like a constant bass note through the deadpan deliveries of the excellent cast. Rated R. 106 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) THE EQUALIZER Director Antoine Fuqua reteams with Denzel Washington for a thriller about a retired special-operations agent who dusts off his guns when he meets a helpless young woman (Chloë Grace Moretz) who’s under the control of Russian gangsters. Rated R. 131 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) GONE GIRL This twisted modern-day noir from David Fincher is based on the bestseller by Gillian Flynn, who penned the screenplay, boiling her own work down to its deep, dark, gripping essentials and weaves in commentary on our gossip-fueled schadenfraude-heavy 24/7 news cycle. The story — Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) mysteriously disappears, leaving her husband, Nick (Ben Affleck), as a possible murder suspect — unfolds forward and in flashback and is told from the viewpoint of two unreliable, not-very-likeable narrators. It’s strategically assembled and briskly paced. Pike brings an icy perfection to Amy, while luggish Affleck makes Nick simultaneously amiable and untrustworthy. Rated R. 149 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española.

(Not reviewed) LEFT BEHIND Nicolas Cage has had a strange career, but this may be his strangest role choice yet: the lead in the latest adaptation of the Christian novel series about the end times and what happens to those who have not been “raptured.” Christian-based movies, while not usually so expensive to make, are frequently lucrative, so is Cage following his muse or the money? Heaven only knows. Rated PG-13. 110 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) THE MAZE RUNNER In the latest film adaptation of a popular young-adult-novel series, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien), who wakes up in a giant maze with some other boys, none of whom remember their previous lives. One day, a girl (Kaya Scodelario) appears. Thomas can read her thoughts, and there’s one they share: “Let’s get the heck out of here!” Rated PG-13. 113 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) MY OLD LADY Veteran playwright Israel Horovitz makes his feature-length-film directorial debut with this comedy about a man (Kevin Kline) who inherits an apartment in Paris and intends to sell it, but he can’t until the current tenant dies. That tenant is played by the immortal Maggie Smith, so he has a long wait. He’ll just have to pass the time falling in love (with a character played by Kristin Scott Thomas). Rated PG-13. 107 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) SAGRADA: THE MYSTERY OF CREATION The church of La Sagrada Família in Barcelona is actually a construction site. Begun in 1882 by architect Antoni Gaudí, it remains a half-completed exercise in artistic astonishment. Stefan Haupt’s documentary serves as an intriguing biography of the building, its story made personal through interviews with spiritu-
ally invested architects and artisans. Not rated. 89 minutes. In French, Spanish, and Catalan with subtitles. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. ( James M. Keller) THE SKELETON TWINS Saturday Night Live alums Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig play estranged twins — he a gay screenwriter who failed in Hollywood, and she a homebody trapped in a failing marriage (to a man played by Luke Wilson). The twins get back together to attempt to heal their relationship and figure out where things went wrong. Rated R. 93 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU Jason Bateman plays a man who discovers his wife is having an affair with his boss and then learns his father has died. Per his father’s final request, he must spend a week in his childhood home with his siblings (Tina Fey, Adam Driver, and Corey Stoll), all of whom have their own issues to work through. Together they learn that life is unpredictable and should be savored and that family means a whole lot. Rated R. 103 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) THE TRIP TO ITALY Director Michael Winterbottom’s follow-up to 2010’s The Trip is nearly identical in plot but set in Italy, providing ample opportunity to take in stunning vistas and sumptuous meals — laughing all the way. Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, playing fictional versions of themselves, reverse roles; this time Coogan is the more settled of the two. The improvised tête-à-têtes and (mostly) spot-on impersonations that made the first film a delight haven’t changed. Not rated. 108 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco)

The Short Order If you find yourself behind the wheel and heading north of town, you might decide to pull over at Tesuque Village Market, a funky little Pueblo-style cottage at the intersection of Bishops Lodge and Tesuque Village roads where you can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. While there’s nothing fancy about what goes on here, and while the kitchen occasionally makes missteps, you can enjoy some decent, filling food in a relaxed, jovial environment. After 4 p.m., you can sit on the portal while pizzas cook in the wood-fired oven, which offers the bonus of a little warmth and ambience. Recommended: nachos, “hacked” chicken salad, burger, margarita or pepperoni pizza, fish tacos, piñon-caramel cheesecake, house margarita.
Ratings range from 1 to 5 chiles, including half chiles. This reflects the reviewer’s experience with regard to food and drink, atmosphere, service, and value. 5 = flawless 4 1/2 = extraordinary 4 = excellent 3 1/2 = very good 3 = good 2 1/2 = average 2 = fair 1 1/2 = questionable 1 = poor

PASATIEMPO I October 10-16, 2014
Fall in Santa Fe is prime time for leisurely drives down windy roads and hikes through golden aspens. If you find yourself behind the wheel and heading north of town, you might end up following Bishops Lodge Road toward the idyllic village of Tesuque, with its mature shade trees and quiet rolling hills. Whether it’s the beginning, middle, or end of your day, if you have a rumble in your tummy, you can always pull over at Tesuque Village Market, a funky little Pueblo-style cottage located right where Bishops Lodge and Tesuque Village roads meet. TVM is a quaint, quiet little place. There’s nothing fancy about what goes on here — service is informal but very friendly and attentive. In fact, given the casual, laid-back atmosphere, some of the prices can seem inexplicably inflated. There’s a reason locals sometimes refer to TVM as “Tesuque Village Markup.” If you’re in a hurry in the morning, grab a premade handheld breakfast burrito. The potato-, squash-, and zucchini-stuffed veggie version makes a filling start to your day. If you want to sit down and carbo-load for breakfast, the “Sweet Cakes & Swine” will do the trick: three oversize flapjacks sprinkled with bacon bits and chocolate chips before they’re flipped. The sweet-and-savory combo would be more successful if the pancakes themselves weren’t overly sweet and if the heat of the griddle didn’t scorch the chocolate, making it burnt and bitter. My huevos rancheros were utterly unremarkable. The red chile had a touch of heat, but the green was bland, the cheese was excessive (though nicely melted), and the eggs were nearly flavorless. (By the way, I’m starting to think restaurants should just stop asking how you want your eggs cooked when you order a dish like this, because 90 percent of the time you’ll get over easy, regardless of what you specify.) Your luck may run better at lunch or dinner. The southernfried chicken wings have a mildly spicy, crisp crust that pleased this Alabama girl’s sensibilities. The nachos are a generous, colorful mountain of chips, stretchy cheese, whole beans, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and wheels of intimidating but not-inedibly-spicy fresh jalapeño. If you want to add guac, you’ll have to pay $5 for a side. If that jalapeño does end up lighting your mouth on fire, cool it off with a pint of the deliciously hop-heavy IPA from Albuquerque’s La Cumbre Brewing Co. or one of the other beers on tap. TVM also mixes up an assortment of cocktails. The house margarita is boozy and tangy with fresh lime, but don’t plan on navigating the curvy road from Tesuque to town after downing one of them. Our burger, while somewhat unevenly cooked, was enormous, flavorful, and juicy. If you add green chile and cheese, you’ll get plenty of both. The chile may only have moderate heat, but the fantastic flavor will be fresh and smoky. Our fries were ideal: lightly and evenly golden, crisp, and salty. On the lighter but still generous side is the “hacked” chicken salad — not shredded chicken or a mayo-based salad but half a savory, herby rotisserie chicken lounging on fresh greens, grape tomatoes, and carrots with a light, sprightly Dijon vinaigrette. TVM’s fish tacos got table-wide approval. The tortillas walk the line between soft and crispy, the fish (snapper) is fresh, moist, and flaky; pinto beans (served on the side) add an earthy element; and mildly spicy pico provides a little piquant punch.
Pizza is a star at TVM. After 4 p.m., you can sit on the portal and smell your pie cooking in the wood-fired oven (the open flame offers the bonus of a little warmth and ambience). The crust is thin, crisp, and slightly charred; the cheese is fresh and milky; and the tangy-sweet sauce is evenly applied. It’s hard to go wrong with a margarita, its shreds of fresh aromatic basil reminding you of the summer that’s just slipped away. The pepperoni here is quarter-sized — smaller than the silver dollars of spicy sausage you’re used to seeing strewn across a pizza. The flavor, appropriately concentrated, is spicy and mildly fatty. If you order onions on your pie, just be aware that they’ll be the sweet, soft caramelized kind rather than the punchy-sharp fresh ones. There were misses, of course. Our $12 arugula “salad” was avocado, tomato, and dressing on the side of a heap of slimy greens that, had I found them in my own refrigerator, I would’ve tossed out. The chicken strips were overcooked and russet brown, the meat shriveled and dry and the honey mustard and barbecue sauce provided for dunking tasted generic and industrial. But hey, the three-year-old at the table didn’t seem to mind, for what that’s worth. The mac and cheese should have its name transposed. More cheese and béchamel than pasta, it was clearly house-made and flavorful, but it’s a soupy, saucy mess best eaten with a spoon. Choose your dessert from the refrigerated cases inside — choices range from seasonal fruit pies to tres leches cake. Our favorite was the tangy, surprisingly fluffy cheesecake draped with buttery-sweet caramel and sprinkled with piñon. This is a rich, earthy dessert. Like that golden, sun-dappled drive we took to get there, it felt just right for fall in New Mexico. ◀

Pete Moss’Garden Tip: If you have moved any house plants outside for the summer it is time to start getting them ready to come back inside for the winter. Often times plants grow very well outside and outgrow the container that they are in and need to be re-potted into a larger container. Also check well for any insect problems that they may have picked up while outdoors. If this is the case it is a good idea to treat them before you bring them inside.
