nowMeMorial Day WeekenD, and the kickoff to the sum-mer season, is here. Thank goodness. Hopefully the rain is behind us, the hills will be turning green from all the moisture they’ve received, and Santa Fe’s natural and abundant beauty can shine for us all this weekend.
and what a great weekend it is. Friday night offers a full slate of gallery openings all over Santa Fe; local clubs have great live music; and a number of special art shows are taking place, namely native Treasures—a large annual market held in the conven-tion center that features a variety of works by native american artists. and if you were thinking the weekend ended on Sunday, remember that Monday is Memorial Day, which means you have another full day to explore the art, music, and markets around town. Somewhere in between all these activities, be sure to honor our nation’s lost heroes. That’s why we have this holiday in the first place.
The sun is on our back, we’re feeling a bit warmer, and we can fully enjoy all of the great things happening in Santa Fe this weekend.

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.

Between Fire and ice German-born mezzo-soprano
adrienne Haan comes to Santa Fe for the first time to perform her cabaret act Between Fire and Ice for the Santa Fe Jewish Film Festival’s opening night concert on May 24. The dramatic and lively one-woman show brings to life the arts and liberation movements that were stretching their bounds in Berlin during the 1920s and ’30s.
“Performing for the Jewish Film Festival is a great joy because this year they are featuring the film noir of Germany and austria in the ’20s, during the Weimar republic era,” says Haan, who graduated from the american academy of Dramatic arts and studied at The Juilliard School and the Cologne School of Music and Dance. “My soirée Between Fire and Ice features the music of that era and composers who themselves and whose music was considered ‘degenerate,’ a term created by the nazis to define a variety of music and art they considered harmful or decadent.”
Currently residing in new york City and Bonn, Germany, Haan is a citizen of Germany and luxembourg and uses her language skills to dramatize multiple characters with accuracy in five languages. For both of her Santa Fe performances, she will be accompanied by pianist richard Danley, her longtime musical director. —Cristina Olds
Performance Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Jewish Film Festival present Between Fire and ice, May 24, 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm, $30–$40, Maria Benitez Cabaret Theatre at The Lodge at Santa Fe, 750 N St. Francis, santafejff.org, performancesantafe.org
crisis on ethan Hawke’s face
The quandary of killing via robot is deconstructed in Good Kill, its components laid
out for us to assess. and despair over. We’ve seen good movies tackle post-traumatic stress
disorder in soldiers fighting the war on terror—a bomb disposal expert in The Hurt Locker, a sniper in American Sniper—but Good Kill might be the most interesting example because its afflicted soldier, Major Thomas egan, is piloting drones from thousands of miles away. He rains death from blue skies over yemen and then clocks out and drives home to his wife and kids in an american suburb.
The psychology is fascinating. aren’t we better off fighting this way, with less military lives put in danger? or have we turned the profound act of killing during war into a video game? ethan Hawke plays egan, who did six tours flying jets in afghanistan and iraq before coming home to pilot drones from las Vegas. “i miss the fear,” he says. He feels like a coward, and intense self-loathing is driving him to guzzle vodka and lash out at his family.
Good Kill is set in 2010, when drone killings spiked after the Cia took over the program and watered down criteria from dropping bombs. less surveillance, more missiles. in one scene, egan destroys a compound with a suspected terrorist inside, and when people arrive with shovels to dig out survivors, the boss in langley (over speakerphone) orders another strike in the same spot. egan and his team wonder aloud if they’ve become like the terrorists.
The film’s best trick is to dramatize action while debating the merits of drone strikes like a documentary or nightly news roundtable: Didn’t the president ordering these hits win a nobel Peace Prize? How can we bomb countries we’re not at war with? We’ve made children fear the sky.
Hawke’s face throughout is anguished. His character’s feelings aren’t ambiguous. He may say “Good kill” after every strike he triggers, but he doesn’t mean it. He hates what he’s doing. it’s wrong.—Phil Parker

THeaTer GroTTeSCo raiSeS the curtain on its first new production since 2012 with The Moment of YES!, which premieres May 21 at the Santa Fe Playhouse. With this show, the troupe returns to its roots, cham-pioning english theater and film director Peter Brook’s practice of putting performers on an empty stage. Doing so “shows the power of what actors can do without a lot of technical support,” says John Flax, Theater Grottesco’s artistic director and the codirector of YES!, alongside kent kirkpatrick. “The show starts with a nod to [Brook] as the actors come on stage and discover the space.”
The YES! cast includes Danielle reddick, a veteran of Stomp!; eric kupers, coartistic director of oakland’s Dandelion Dancetheater; and Tara khozein and apollo Garcia, both Santa Fe natives and graduates of France’s l’École internationale de Théâtre Jacques lecoq. khozein and Garcia grew up watching Theater Grottesco productions, and this is the first time either of them is appearing with the group.
Through interwoven stories, the cast explores communication, which emerged as a theme as a group of six Theater Grottesco members developed the show’s concept for more than a year. “There are so many levels of communication—internal monologues, internal dialogues that one has with one’s self, dialogues we have with others without words, and then dialogues that, when words are spoken, don’t express what the conversation really is,” Flax says. one scene that explores the art of learning a new language develops syntax of its own as gestures progress into dances and those dances connect to new vignettes.
invoking the traditional form of Greek tragedies, the performance, as it unfolds, sees the actors—and the audience—become witnesses. “We tell the story as though all the people on stage experienced the story together,” Flax says. “The other people on stage are there in the spirit of ‘the moment of yes,’ remembering it together.”
The Moment of yeS!, May 21–June 7, Thursday–Saturday 7:30 pm, Sundays 2 pm, $10–$25, Gala Opening Night Celebration, May 22, $100, Santa Fe Playhouse, 142 E De Vargas, santafeplayhouse.org

the 11th annual event showcases work by acclaimed Native American artists working in various mediums
Keri Ataumbi, Mussel Shell Necklace,
sterling silver and 22-kt gold
on May 23, THe naTiVe TreaSUreS: indian arts Fes-tival kicks off its 11th year of celebrating the work of top native american artists—such as nocona Burgess, kathleen Wall, es-tella loretto, and many others—while raising funds for Museum Hill’s Museum of indian arts and Culture (MiaC). one of the event’s annual traditions is bestowing a living Treasure award on an artist, and this year the honor goes to two people: sisters keri ataumbi and Teri Greeves, who will be celebrated during a Friday night fundraising cocktail party at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. “keri and Teri’s museum-quality work, although different in medium and form, represents some of the essential values of the native Treasures: indian arts Festival, including the storytelling that is an intrinsic quality of their work,” MiaC director Della Warrior said in a statement.
ataumbi creates contemporary gold and silver jewelry that she compares to small sculpture and has what she calls “a conceptual narrative exploration” at its core. Her extensive collections of earrings, belt buckles, sunglasses, and other items feature detailed imagery of animals, sea creatures, insects, and geometric shapes that give a nod to cultural and historical themes related to her kiowa background. “our family, our heritage, and the aesthetic our ancestors have passed down to us informs my work,” she says.
Greeves’s beadwork also tells stories related to her kiowa culture, and although she works on cuffs, deerskin tapestries, and

cloth tepees, her most recognized pieces are her beaded tennis shoes. “kiowa people,” she notes, “have almost always adorned their footwear . . . [as] an expression of self, of society, of tribe, and of humanity.”
Both artists’ work can be found in the collections of no-table museums, such as the Heard Museum and the Museum of Contemporary native arts for ataumbi and the British Museum and the national Museum of the american indian for Greeves.

Del Charro Saloon Best happy hour, best affordable dining, and best cocktails are among the awards regularly won by Del Charro Saloon, located in the Inn of the Governors. The downtown eatery’s go-to food for happy hour (or any time, really) is the green chile cheeseburger that Chef Elio Licano prepares to perfection. Loaded with green chile from Hatch, New Mexico, the half-pound burger is a juicy patty of grass-fed, locally raised beef that’s topped with melted cheddar. Served on a toasted bun with a fresh stack of french fries, this chile cheeseburger is a satisfying springtime nosh best enjoyed on the enclosed patio with a house margarita. —Cristina OldsDel Charro Saloon, 101 W Alameda, delcharro.com

anniversary celebrationThe Longworth Gallery honors its past while looking to its fut ure

P R O F I L Eart
enTer THe WorlD of metaphorical realism at The longworth Gallery’s anniversary celebration, during which gallery owner lisa rodgers celebrates the 20 magical, metaphorical, and realistic artists she represents—and her many clients.
The festivities, held on May 22, are open to the public and include beer, wine, hors d’oeuvres, and Spanish classical guitar music. Many artists—including locals Barbara Woods and H. Tom Thomas—will be present, giving collectors a chance to chat with the folks behind the art.
Scottsdale, arizona, artist Steve Failows will not only be at the party but will also present a kaleidoscope workshop the following day. Failows takes tubes, cones, stained glass, and other materials and transforms them into functional works of art (i.e., his kaleidoscopes). “They’re incredibly popular,” says rodgers, who usually sells at least one kaleidoscope per day. “it’s hard for Steve to keep up with the demand.”
Failows makes two different styles of kaleidoscopes. The Infinity series has a tapered ceramic cone that rests on top of a base of wood,
fossil, or quartz crystal. The cone is able to swivel, come off the base, and be held in the hand. The turntable style, which is called Infin-ity on Steroids, has a Brazilian agate base and a ceramic scope that is either tapered or cylindri-cal and angled down to point at a rotating dish. “you can put whatever you want in the dish and view it magnified,” rodgers says. “People look at everything from keys, rose petals, sea shells, and coins to cell phones, fishing lures, sand, popcorn, and jewelry.”

ToDay, BlaCk-on-BlaCk pottery is synonymous with San ildefonso Pueblo (located 23 miles northwest of Santa Fe), but that wasn’t always the case. Tracking the development of black ware through today’s creations, which have evolved to include more graffito and inlay, a new show at adobe Gallery called One Hundred Years of Pottery and Paintings from San Ildefonso features some 30 pieces of vintage pottery from acclaimed artists such as Maria Martinez (1881–1980) and her grandson Tony Da (1940–2008). The show also highlights a perhaps lesser-known art form from the Pueblo—painting—and celebrates works from artists such as José Disiderio (J. D.) roybal (1922–1978), who was known for his depictions of koshare, and Tonita Vigil Peña (1893–1949), the only woman among a group of artists who referred to themselves as the San ildefonso Self-Taught Group. “We don’t see much painting coming out of San ildefonso these days,” says gallery director Scott Smudsky. “What little we do is still in the traditional style.”

New Mexico ForwardHiSTory iS a PaTCHWork of culture and memory, as artist robert T. ritter expresses in New Mexico Forward 2015, opening May 22 at Ventana Fine art. in his latest body of work, which took two years to create, the artist deconstructs imagery that’s helped shape new Mexico history and culture and presents it via a fresh aesthetic that defies simple description. are the 28 works in the show paintings? Tapestries?
Mixed-media works? These are some of the questions ritter hopes to elicit with his work.
“i’m trying to create a new aesthetic that makes people question the how, when, and where [of the artistic process],” ritter says. “That’s what you have to do to hit on the new and bring art forward into the 21st century.”
When creating his latest series, ritter drew upon specific works that defined new Mexican culture in previous eras: striking and

Curtis (1868–1952) and retablos by Pedro antonio Fresquís (1780–1825), whose precise drawings earned him the nickname the “Calligraphic Santero.” ritter literally ripped those images apart and reconstructed them with oil paint-ing, color masking, and roughly stitched burlap on canvas, thereby creating a new visual and social context.
in a piece titled Kiowa, which features a portrait of a native american man, ritter was drawn to the strength of the man’s face. However, ritter, who’s an architect as well as an artist, enhanced the simple image with his technique. “The composition created with the color masking and the [stitching] lines that come off of it are what made it inter-esting for me.”
another of ritter’s pieces, Mission, “pushes the edge of what’s relevant,” he says. after scrutinizing the components of the original image, he redacted the face of the haloed subject (who’s riding a horse), emphasized the cerulean blue color of his clothes and saddle, and set that color against gray and beige tones, making the historical image seem at home in today’s contemporary art world and society.

Lyrical Expression Javier López Barbosa seeks to el icit joy with his new show at Waxlander Gallery
by emily Van Cleve
P R O F I L Eart
iS iT a reD Day or a blue day, Santa Fe abstract painter Javier lópez Barbosa asks him-self before he begins a new work. once a color is selected, a paint-ing starts to take form.
“The process is simply a connection between my best feelings and the blank canvas,” he explains. “i hardly ever have a definite idea of what i’m going to paint. i just let my will for creativity take over my physical body to do what it has to do.”
The three dozen paintings featured in Barbosa’s show Lyri-cal Expression at Waxlander art Gallery & Sculpture Garden are new works created to elicit joy and happiness. it’s all about feeling good, Barbosa says. if a viewer smiles when looking at a painting, he’s done his job.
Smiling wasn’t easy for Bar-bosa during his childhood in Monterrey, Mexico, where, he says, his home life was rough. The best part of his youth was the drawing and painting he did to deal with his emotions, even though he’d often get into trouble for painting on the walls of his bedroom.
Barbosa became interested in working in abstraction during elementary school after he saw an abstract painting on the wall of an upscale Monterrey home.
“i knew then and there what i wanted to do,” he says.
at the age of 18 Barbosa left home and moved to Texas, where he started paint-ing regularly. Four years later, in 1990, he settled in Santa Fe and began building a body of work—smooth and glossy paintings with alternating layers of paint and glaz-ing medium—for which he is well known. For several decades he used oils; a few years ago, however, after repeatedly experiencing breathing problems and dizziness in the studio, he switched to acrylics. “Painting every day,” he says, “reminds me of the kind of person i am and the kind of person i always want to be.” Javier López Barbosa: lyrical expression, through June 1, reception May 22, 5–8 pm, Waxlander Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden, 622 Canyon, waxlander.com

The Gilded Pagea treasure trove of thoughtful greeting cards and more

GraDUaTionS. WeDDinGS. Babies. Birthdays. The season of many significant life events is upon us, and thankfully there’s a more intimate option for purchasing Congratulations! and Thank You! cards than a big-box supermarket or drugstore.
established in July 2004 and currently located inside the De-Vargas Center, The Gilded Page is as regal as its name implies. “our goal is to provide an exceptional shopping experience filled with the highest quality gifts, greeting cards, paper, ribbon, and hard-to-find vintage ephemera,” says owner and primary buyer kim Martin. “you can find anything from a locally hand-made greeting card to a set of high-quality italian stationery; our gift selection has something for everyone, including activity books for kids, handmade journals, design-oriented stationery supplies, and artisanal soaps and candles for adults.”
if that sounds like a stationery lover’s paradise, it is. “To-gether we’ve been able to transform The Gilded Page into a destination shop with an almost magical atmosphere,” Martin says of her team, which includes two employees, both with strong design backgrounds. “We offer old-fashioned customer service, and many of our customers are local residents who’ve come to rely on us for the best selection of cards, gift wrap, and gift-wrapping services.”
Martin says that her year-round best sellers include birthday cards and any type of card that’s a bit more creative in its design (think 3-D, glittered, foiled, embossed) and/or humorous. “This time of the year graduation gifts and cards and mom and dad gifts and cards are popular,” she says. “Folks always put a lot of thought into their purchases for these special occasions.”

On May 1, Santa Fe University of Art and Design hosted its fifth annual evening of projections and outdoor art installations. Approximately 2,700 attendees self-guided themselves among more than 50 design, animation, full-motion video, video-mapping, motion-graphics, and interactive multimedia works. The evening included a performance by student electric band The Maya Spectra (pictured above), whose single “Music Box” was recently described in Entertainment Weekly as “paranoid funk decorated with flourishes of modern EDM and a wailing, fuzzed-out guitar solo worthy of Prince.”
Terry Borst, a member of SFUAD’s film school faculty, says the event has a lasting impact. “The success of OVF lies not only in its special one-night-only experience, but in the opportunities throughout the year for student artistry to be reprised across the city of Santa Fe and in other venues. Additionally, OVF alums are already making a difference in Santa Fe’s artistic and cultural landscape, and their impact will only grow in years to come.”—Whitney Spivey
