The City of Santa Fe Event Calendar

nowTHE VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE to us here in Santa Fe just keeps growing. This weekend is certainly no exception. Not only do we have a full slate of gallery openings, mostly in the Railyard, but we have great music, film, and theater offerings, too.

Several of the Railyard galleries have shows opening on May 29 as part of the Last Friday Art Walk. The work you’ll find in the Railyard is different from what you’ll see almost anywhere else in town. Given how easy it is to get to the Railyard, I strongly encourage you to visit some of its cutting-edge galleries. If you can’t make it to the openings Friday night, drop by on Saturday to visit the galleries during the day and to take advantage of the farmers market as well.

There’s great music all over town all weekend long, so you won’t be lacking for tunes. At the Santa Fe Playhouse, Theater Grottesco presents its first new production since 2012, The Moment of YES!, so be sure to catch it before it closes on June 7.

The Santa Fe Jewish Film Festival’s Stars in the Dark: Émigrés, Exiles, and Film Noir series is in full force at CCA, and the festival is a great way to see wonderful films, knowing you won’t find them in any boxes at the supermarket. This, to a great extent, is a metaphor for Santa Fe. The city isn’t easily duplicated and maintains its eternal uniqueness. That’s part of what makes Santa Fe special and why visitors love to visit.

As you kick around town this weekend, I hope you experience many of Santa Fe’s other unique qualities. Enjoy.

SHOPPING IN SANTA FE From the time of the ancient Anasazi, the Santa Fe area has been a trading center. The Santa Fe Trail is synonymous with the romance of the old west, and from the time of New Mexico statehood in 1912, Santa Fe has been a multicultural art center and shoppers’ paradise.

Santa Fe is a top US art center, with museums, shopping, year-round outdoor activities, top flight restaurants, spas, and world famous cultural events. It’s not just your grandparents’ Santa Fe, it’s walkable, historic, charming, and exciting. A high desert destination of distinction and fun.

betrayal of the nerds Age of Ultron broke

my heart. Music wasn’t my thing as a kid; neither was sports. I was a comic book nerd, and Ultron was one of the very best villains. (My favorite will always be Spider-Man’s nemesis Venom.) Ultron is a giant evil robot. Imagine a much taller, buffer Terminator exoskeleton that smiles, snarls, flies, and shoots lasers. He utterly hates the

Avengers, so he creates better and better versions of himself after every defeat in order to come back and try to kill them again. Ultron is wicked, so actor James Spader voicing him in this second installment of the Avengers franchise furnishes the perfect mix of sarcastic playfulness and mortal danger.

This is where I sigh. Age of Ultron doesn’t build suspense. You never find yourself afraid for anyone or curious about what will happen next. And unlike the first Avengers movie, its action scenes don’t dazzle. The Avengers had Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and friends battling an army of aliens in New York City. You can’t top that, yet because it’s a franchise sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron “builds” to a stupid climax where the Avengers fight waves of skinny, harmless mini-Ultrons.

You have to scale it back. Instead of EXPLOSIVE ACTION SCENES!!!!!, you make the threat smaller but smarter and therefore more dangerous. My nerd heart palpitates when I imagine an Avengers sequel where Earth’s mightiest heroes are stalked by an insane killer robot strong enough to really hurt them. That’s not what we get here. The Avengers chase Ultron around the world as he kidnaps a doctor and steals a whatever and . . . his plan is so complicated and overthought that he succeeds only in making himself a bigger target. There’s no joy or excitement in his scheme or anywhere else in Age of Ultron, except in its first few scenes, before Ultron shows up. He turns out to be an extremely lame bad guy.

I’ve defended these movies; loved them even. Not this one. Age of Ultron gets so fat it has a heart attack right before our eyes. It’s awful.—Phil Parker

Cut-a-Thon at Rock Paper Scissor Salon Spa

When you attend Rock Paper Scissor Salon Spa’s 13th annual Cut-a-Thon on May 30, you can help people who are hungry in addition to getting a good haircut. At least 10 stylists, including salon co-owner Melodi Wyss-Feliciano, will lend their talents to this fundraiser for The Food Depot. Last year’s Cut-a-Thon raised more than $5,000 for several local charities.

“Some of our clients suggested that we work with The Food Depot this year,” says co-owner Aaron Feliciano. “Haircuts start with a $25 donation, although we do get $200 and $300 donations.”

Areas in the salon normally used for waxing and coloring and manicures and pedicures will be transformed into additional haircutting stations in order to accommodate the more than 75 men and women who are expected to show up between 10 am and 3 pm. Volunteers from a local beauty school will help stylists with shampooing and blow-drying. For a $50 minimum donation, appointment times can be scheduled in advance. Otherwise, it’s first-come, first-served.

Profits from the sale of the salon’s retail products and the 35 paintings on display—created by students from the Institute of American Indian Arts—will also be donated to The Food Depot, as will any nonperishable food items clients bring with them.—Emily Van Cleve

Cut-a-Thon, May 30, 10 am–3 pm, $25 minimum donation, $50 to secure an appointment, Rock Paper Scissor Salon Spa, 500 Montezuma, #110, rockpaperscissorsalonspa.com

At least 10 stylists will take part in the 13th annual Cut-a-Thon at Rock Paper Scissor Salon Spa.

a classic cartoon returns

Sector 9 assault team leader Major Motoko Kusanagi tells her boss, “I’ll leave the

detective stuff to you,” and slaps a heavy mag of bullets into her rifle. It’s not her job to unravel conspiracies—she’s a weapon, a cyborg killer with an assignment: Find the hacker called Puppet Master.

Ghost in the Shell celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with a restored edition that’ll open at the Jean Cocteau Cinema on May 29. The film is an unquestionable classic of animation, mixing philosophy, mystery, and action. It’s also gloriously efficient. Clocking in at an hour and 20 minutes, it delivers ideas, characters, and scenes any action fan can appreciate. The style is Japanese anime, but Ghost in the Shell belongs alongside Blade Runner and The Matrix in the pantheon of thoughtful sci-fi classics. (Producer Joel Silver has said the Wachowski brothers pitched The Matrix by showing him Ghost in the Shell and saying, “We want to do that in live action.”)

The action is clean and awesome. We meet Matoko midway through an assassination mission—she makes herself invisible and explodes a man’s head—and then

we’re quickly thrust into an exhilarating chase. Late in the film she battles a tank that moves like a soulless, scary robot spider.

Ghost in the Shell holds up because of its action, but its ideas are fascinating, too. In 2029 everyone’s jacked into a worldwide network that provides information and abilities on the fly. Most people aren’t completely human; they’re part robot, enabling the network’s apps to work better with their bodies. Ghost in the Shell envisions this future as a stormy techno-urban locale like in Blade Runner. And the characters debate, earnestly, what it means that day-to-day existence has become so tied to computing technology. The network is being twisted to manipulate people, implanting false memories and convincing them they’re something they’re not, exactly like my most annoying “friends” on Facebook. Gender is oddly meaningless in Ghost in the Shell, because why would jacked-in robots need gender? It’s a chilling look at the future, and a great time at the movies.—PP

treats for your feetluxurious indulgences for “soleful” healing

by Amy Hegarty

FROM DRY, HIGH DESERT AIR TO wear and tear from on-the-go lifestyles, our legs and feet are often in need of some serious TLC. Whether you’re looking for major rejuvenation or quick but effective relief, Santa Fe’s spas have what you need to help you feel relaxed and ready to hit the pavement. Here are just a couple of our favorite local offerings.

Lower Leg Revitalizer 45 minutes, $65, Nidah Spa at the Eldorado Hotel and Spa eldoradohotel.com/nidahspa This treatment is a low-key but high-impact way to ease some aches and pains. After arriving early and relaxing for a few minutes in a cozily lit waiting room, I was led by Kathleen, the aesthetician, into Nidah’s modern, inviting salon, where I climbed onto one of its two pedicure thrones. After letting my feet soak in warm bubbling water, Kathleen got my circulation going with an invigorating sugar scrub on my calves and feet. Next, my calves and feet enjoyed a tingly spearmint mask, which was left on for 10 to 15 minutes and, like the sugar scrub, is said to be good for your circulation. Lastly, Kathleen applied a thick coating of a mango moisturizer and deeply massaged my toes, feet, and calves, making my every step lighter for the remainder of the day. La Posada Margarita Pedicure 80 minutes, $105 La Posada de Santa Fe laposadadesantafe.com As fun as it is luxurious, this treatment is the perfect escape—whether you want a social experience with a friend or some much-needed alone time. Jake, who administered the treatment, began by providing me with warm neck and back pillows, and—in line with the name of the service—ordered me a specialty margarita from La Posada’s Staab House Lounge. He then removed old polish from my nails before trimming them and applying cuticle remover. Next came the application of a callus eliminator to my heels and to the balls of my feet, followed by some filing of the feet to make everything smooth. A sugar scrub revved up my circulation, and then a series of major moisturizing treatments began. A shea butter concentrate was massaged into my feet and calves, and a cool lime-zest moisturizer was applied with a brush. Switching from cold to hot, a plastic bag filled with warm, lavender-scented paraffin wax, which seals in moisture and makes your skin so, so soft, was placed over my feet, and a towel was wrapped around the bag for reinforcement. After about seven or eight minutes, the paraffin was removed, and body butter was massaged into my calves and feet. The final step was the flawless application of long-lasting polish. My feet and toes never looked better.

La Posada de Santa Fe’s Margarita Pedicure (here and below, right) includes a number of moisturizing treatments and a specialty drink from the hotel’s lounge, in addition to the application of polish.

Nidah Spa’s Lower Leg Revitalizer (here and below) includes a thick coating of a mango moisturizer and a relaxing massage.

La Posada de Santa Fe

La Posada de Santa Fe

Sides is best known for his compelling histori-cal nonfiction books such as Blood and Thunder, which brings to life the story of Kit Carson and the conquest of the American West.

Hampton Sidesthe acclaimed author discusses his latest projects and why he’s made Santa Fe his home for more than two decades by Steven Horak

IN THE SUMMER OF 1879, the USS Jeannette plotted a course from San Francisco to the last great unknown: the North Pole. Swept up in the thrill of discovery, the nation was transfixed by the expedition and its ultimate destina-tion, yet as the decades passed, the fate of the ship and its crew became largely forgotten. Santa Fean and best-selling author Hampton Sides sought to change that when he released In the Kingdom of Ice in August 2014. The story of the Jeannette is “one that slipped through the cracks,” he says. “I really felt people should know about [it].”

Equal parts vivid narrative and riveting page-turner, the critically acclaimed account of the Jeannette lays bare “the need to explore [that] is deeply embedded in our psyches,” Sides explains.

The crew’s dramatic journey is the latest historical subject that Sides has deftly brought to life, joining the hunt for James Earl Ray (Hellhound on His Trail), Kit Carson and the conquest of the American West (Blood and Thunder), and the rescue of World War II POWs (Ghost Soldiers). For his next book, Sides is researching the Korean War’s Battle of Chosin Reservoir, during which heavily outnumbered U.S. soldiers were trapped in a mountain by Chinese troops in freezing weather.

When not writing books, Sides keeps busy as an editor-at-large for Outside magazine and contributes to National Geographic, among other publications. Sides also serves as journalist-in-residence and runs the nonfic-tion program at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. Earlier this year he was named a Miller Scholar by the Santa Fe Institute, where he’ll begin a four-month resi-dency in the fall.

It was a previous position at Outside that brought Sides to Santa Fe more than 20 years ago, when the magazine moved here from Chicago. He didn’t anticipate his stay would last more than a few years, but stay he did. “It’s a very interesting cross section of humanity [that] ends up here, and all of it is undercut with all this really interest-ing history, both Spanish and Native American,” Sides says. “Obviously, I love the landscape, too. There’s some-thing about the high desert—it’s not like anywhere else in the world.”

Santa Fe Baking Company The “burritos to live for” section of Santa Fe Baking Company’s served-all-day breakfast menu includes six tortilla-wrapped creations, most of which have a base of eggs, potatoes, and cheese but are fully customizable. The breakfast burrito pictured here, for example, is smothered in red chile and includes sides of bacon and green chile.

“On a good day we sell 80 to 100 burritos of all types,” says SFBC employee Steve Struck, who notes that the eatery receives a lot of to-go business from commuters because it’s one of the few breakfast spots in town that’s open at 6 am. We hope those very early birds are buying coffee, too. —Whitney Spivey

Museum Hill Café “We’re situated on Museum Hill between four world-class museums,” says Weldon Fulton, owner of the aptly named Museum Hill Café. “And we’re the only restaurant in Santa Fe with 100-mile views.” If that’s not enough to get you in the door for lunch (Tuesday–Sunday, 11 am–3 pm) or a glass of wine and a small plate (Wednesday–Friday, 3–7 pm), then the food certainly should be. Currently available as a special, the warm salad pictured here features tomatoes, grilled asparagus, and fresh grilled Atlantic salmon that’s flown in daily from the East Coast. Additional entrées include Asian shrimp tacos, smoked duck flautas, and curried lentil stew.—Whitney Spivey

Tim Rowan, #1474, wood-fired ceramic, 8 x 32 x 3"

Leopoldo Cuspinera Madrigal, We’re Simply Rooting, mixed media on paper, 23 x 46"

William Siegal Gallery’s tagline is “ancient contemporary,” and the work of the two artists featured in A Stone’s Throw—Leopoldo Cuspinera Madrigal and Tim Rowan—fits that description. They “have a certain earthy familiarity,” says gallery director Eric Gardu-ño, noting that both men rely on Mother Nature for their materials.

Mexican-born Cuspinera Madrigal creates his paintings from items such as vegetable fibers, using old paper fabrica-tion techniques. “I have transformed these techniques by adding resins and other materials such as recycled paper pulp, oils, chalk, charcoal, gold, silver, and bronze,” he says. “The material and the atmospheric factors that participate in that

process are, at the same time, the subject.”New York–based Rowan’s ceramics are made primarily

from native clay, whose impurities are often amplified during the sculpting and firing processes. “Throw is a common term in ceramics, although Rowan’s works aren’t thrown,” Garduño says in reference to the exhibit’s title. “There’s something almost instinctual about throwing stones, and I like that image in relation to this work.”—Whitney Spivey

Mike McKeeMike McKee is a self-described power sculptor, which means he uses tools such as angle grinders and pneumatic die grinders to carve blocks of stone. “When you make a mark on a stone, there’s no going back,” he says. “You can’t weld up a ‘mistake’ or add pieces of the stone back onto the sculpture; you can only go further and further into the stone.”

McKee doesn’t typically start sculpting with a concept in mind. In fact, he describes his style as “very intuitive and almost subconscious.” All of his work is finished by hand, which is labor- and time-intensive but rewarding. “Getting to sand a piece is like Christmas Day,” he says. “You finally get to reveal the beauty of the stone.”—Whitney Spivey

Waxlander Gallery, waxlander.com

Santa Fe–based sculptor Mike McKee works out of a studio in his house. “I have a great view

and a nice, quiet environment to disrupt with the sounds of my

creation,” he says.

McKee attended the New Mexico Military Institute and earned a BFA from the College of Santa Fe in 2006. He started showing stone carvings at Waxlander Gallery at the age of 29 and continues to partner with the gallery today.

Monochromatica new show at Evoke Contemporary features striking works in shades of a s ingle hue

by Ashley M. Big gers

P R O F I L Eart

UNDILUTED, UNREMITTING COLOR is at the center of Monochro-matic, a new exhibition at Evoke Contemporary that’s part of Santa Fe’s Sum-mer of Color initiative, which presents color-themed shows at leading galleries and museums.

Evoke chose this theme to challenge the 15 represented and invited artists participating in the show. The focus on one color in various tints, tones, and shades allows viewers to see more clearly the artists’ “draftsmanship, execution of composition, use of chiaroscuro, and expression,” says Gallery Director Kathrine Erickson.

Among the 20 drawings, paintings, and mixed-media works in the show, a striking gray scale portrait by Jorge Santos, one of Evoke’s represented art-ists, is garnering a lot of attention, perhaps because of the painting’s striking subject—a nude female with waves lapping at her hips. The untitled work is a departure for Santos, who customarily paints with a broad palette.

Monochromatic also marks the debut of two new Evoke artists: portraitist David Jon Kassan and landscape painter Jeremy Mann. The narrow color range in Mann’s impressive black-and-white cityscape Composition 166 is typi-cal for the artist, who, Erickson says, is known for his manipulation of light in his medium.

Though black and white figure in the show, they aren’t the only hues represented. A mixed-media work by guest artist Gordon Skalleberg called

Transparent Personality can take on a variety of colors, depending on how the laser-cut steel form is lighted.

Monochromatic opens with a reception on May 29, and many of the artists will be present for a panel presentation during the show’s closing ceremony on June 20.

Peggy Immel the Taos-based painter has an enduring love for the local landscape

DECADES ON THE EAST COAST couldn’t keep Peggy Immel away from the Southwest. Born and raised in Phoenix, the Taos-based landscape artist lived for some 30-odd years in New England, where she studied art and served as a rock- and ice-climbing guide. “I call it an avocation,” she says of her outdoor passion, noting that “climbing and painting come from the same side of the brain. Both have a timelessness about them.” When it came time for her husband to sell his business, she says, “we were both looking for a commu-nity rich in the arts,” and Taos fit the bill.

Immel paints “primarily Colorado and New Mexico landscapes,” taking what she calls a “general approach” to the land and portraying whatever catches her attention, regardless of natural formation or season. One thing that does depend on the season, however, is her capacity for plein air painting. “I paint outside more in the summer,” she says, explaining that she will often use resulting sketches to develop color schemes for pieces she completes in the studio.

A background in watercolor prepared her well for her current focus: oil painting. “Oil is a very forgiving medium,” she says. “Watercolor is more intellectual. It teaches you how to plan a paint-ing; it teaches you about value patterns. You need to know where you are going when you begin.”

After 15 years, the “magnificent scale of the landscape” in Colorado continues to inspire the artist, as does the fabled light of her high desert home. “Taos is one of those wonderful places that gets in your blood,” Immel says—and, no matter what she’s capturing on canvas, she aims to “convey those emotional feel-ings.”

Ron PokrassoRon Pokrasso is a self-described constructionist. “I put stuff together,” he says. “I make art, but I’m not really a painter or a printmaker or a drawer.” Pokrasso’s work, which does involve all three of those crafts, is created primarily at his Timberwick Road studio, where he also teaches workshops and hosts artist retreats.

Pokrasso, who moved from New York City to Santa Fe in 1978, says his adopted hometown is a magical place. “It either embraces you or you struggle here,” he says. “With [my] creative energy and a desire to put my own mark on the world, Santa Fe has been very good to me. I love the light, the climate, just about everything.”—Whitney Spivey

Ron Pokrasso, Timberwick Studios, 24 Timberwick, ronpokrasso.com

Pokrasso worked as a traditional printmaker for several years—he earned an MFA in printmaking in 1975 from the Pratt Institute—but now sees the craft as “a means to an end” that usually involves mixed media.

Pokrasso sells his work out of his studio and currently has three pieces on view

at the restaurant Paper Dosa.

This wepplo press was made in Minnesota in the late ’50s or early ’60s. Pokrasso purchased it in 1976 for $1,000—a deal even with its broken guide roller. It’s since been retrofitted to be a full-size press and “is a workhorse,” according to Pokrasso.

styleArt.i.factSANTA FE HAS A NUMBER OF excellent consignment stores, which might seem like a reason not to open another one. But instead of competition, Jennifer Rowland and her husband, Michael Gullberg, saw community, and so they launched their own venture, Art.i.fact., in November 2014. “We opened Art.i.fact so that we could be a part of this city’s robust consignment culture,” Rowland says. “Santa Feans are definitely into ‘reduce, reuse, recycle,’ and consignment clothing fits perfectly into that ethos. I love the idea of making Santa Fe a destination for consignment shoppers, so I believe having one more [store] on the list is a good thing.”

Art.i.fact sells sophisticated, funky, functional, and eclectic clothing and jewelry in a boutique-like environment. The open floor plan, combined with good lighting and good customer service, makes browsing through the inventory an enjoyable experience. “I’ve tried to make this a place I’d want to shop in,” Rowland says. “Years ago, I went to a bou-tique in a small town in Brazil, [and] the owner helped me pick out the perfect outfit. I walked out feeling beautiful. It was such a delightful experience, and I’ve never forgotten it. That’s what I hope Art.i.fact can be.”

When consigning items, Rowland looks for good quality and condition as well as sea-sonal appropriateness. She’s also pretty accommodating when it comes to name brands. “I’ve always believed in a ‘high-low’ fashion approach—mixing, for instance, high-end designer pieces with items from the Gap,” she says, noting that although the majority of her items are for women, she’s slowly growing a men’s department.

But it’s not just consignment shoppers who enjoy the Baca Street store; folks selling their gently used items are also in for a treat. “We price things to move,” Rowland says. “I’d rather sell an item within the first few weeks we have it than wait for it to sell on the

50 percent markdown.”Rowland says that her best-selling items vary

from month to month. “In December, we couldn’t keep hats on the shelves; in April, jewelry was fly-ing out the door. Every time I think I have that fig-ured out, it seems we’re selling tons of something else. Once we have a year under our belts and can look at sales data, we’ll have a better idea.”

And in the meantime? “We’re so grateful for the warm welcome Art.i.fact has received so far,” Rowland says. “We’ve really poured our hearts into the place, and it’s incredibly rewarding to hear that our customers appreciate our efforts.”

The store’s backroom gallery, called the Art.i.factory, features work by local artists. “We love art and believe that the combination of art and fashion reflects a creative lifestyle,” Rowland says, noting that the gallery can also be used as an event space. “It’s our hope that Art.i.fact can be more than just a store, [that it can be] a strong part of the community.” Currently on display through June 30: Selected Stories: Narrative Works by Jeffrey Schweitzer.

A variety show that incorporates theatrical acts, skits, stories, and original folk music, Intuitive Compass was founded in Applegate, Oregon, in 2011. The group has fluctuated in size since then, but the performers who showed up at Duel Brewing in Santa Fe on May 1 didn’t disappoint with their self-described “vaudevillian folk” music featuring kazoos, harmonicas, accordions, washboards, bells, trombones, banjos, drums, saws, and pretty much anything else that creates sound in lively harmony. “Best Friday night I’ve had in a while,” said one thoroughly entertained fan.—Whitney Spivey

Sisters Leah Song and Chloe Smith traveled to New Mexico by train to perform at Skylight with their band, Rising Appalachia, on April 3. The seven members of the folk/jazz/soul group based outside New Orleans are walking their talk of activism and community involvement with what they call a “slow music movement approach” to touring. According to the band’s website, that approach is “an effort to bring performance back to its roots. [We’re] exploring alternative methods of travel, including train, bike, low-impact vehicles, boat, horse, or simply focusing on regional touring; and [we’re] encouraging concertgoers to take in more than just the catharsis of the music.” Heavy on rhythm and instrumentation, Rising Appalachia’s sound is a playful world-music mix from the banjo, fiddle, stand-up bass, baritone guitar, and percussion instruments such as congas, a didgeridoo, a washboard, and spoons, with the sisters harmonizing on vocals. The band is touring to promote their sixth and latest CD release, Wider Circles. —Cristina Olds
