SEPT 4 –SEPT 10

2014nowTHE ONCOMING CHANGE OF SEASON has me feeling a little melancholy and a little nostalgic. Friends who’ve been in Santa Fe longer than I have speak fondly about certain incredible clubs and musical venues from the past, like the Senate Bar on Galisteo Street and Claude’s on Canyon Road. I distinctly remember many fun nights spent at Club West, Cargo Club, and, more recently, The Paramount and Paolo Soleri. Each of those spots holds memories related to great music, certain romances, and a few moments I’d rather forget. They’re part of Santa Fe’s nightclub history and part of my own personal his-tory in this town. Hopefully they’re part of yours as well.

The good news is that we get to make new memories today, so that 20 years from now we’ll have additional experiences to look back on. Let’s face it: clubs change. Places that are hot today most likely won’t be hot two decades down the road, except for probably Evange-lo’s, El Farol, and La Fonda. Some things, in spite of everything, will never change. Here’s to making great new memories.

The scent of grilled beef and seared chile peppers will fill the air at the Railyard when the second annual Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown kicks off on Friday, September 12, at 6 pm. Eight area restaurants will battle it out for the title of Reigning Chomp, determined by a panel of national food critics. Attendees will have their say, too—those who purchase tickets ($20, which includes a free beer or soda) will be able to sample each finalist’s take on this New Mexico classic and vote for their favorite. Cowgirl BBQ, last year’s winner of the People’s Choice Award, will square off against an expanded field, which includes newcomers like The Mine Shaft Tavern and Second Street Brewery. Building on the resounding success of the inaugural Smackdown, this year’s event will feature a beer garden, where you can pair your pint with some of the best food around.

La Sociedad Folklórica’s food and fashion celebration

When Santa Fe resident and La Sociedad Folklórica de Santa Fe founder Cleofas Martinez de Jaramillo decided to hold a fashion show during the annual Fiesta de Santa Fe in 1935, she asked friends and community members to contribute historic clothing to the event. As a result, La Sociedad Folklórica—which aims to preserve Spanish Colonial customs and traditions—received dozens of outfits and began a tradition that’s still going strong 79 years later. On Saturday, September 6, the James A. Little Theater hosts Exhibición de Modas y Merienda, which will center on 128 years of fashion in Santa Fe and showcase 75 of the more than 200 outfits owned by La Sociedad Folklórica. The stars of the show are the four pieces of the wedding trousseau that belonged to Zulema Romero when she married Mariano Sena in 1886 in Los Lunas. Purchased in Kansas City, Missouri, and sent via railroad to New Mexico, the trousseau includes a royal blue afternoon dress with an elaborate black velvet design, a maroon and cream-colored two-piece dress with long fitted sleeves, a rose-colored horse-riding outfit, and a brown satin velvet skirt and top. “A lot of the women’s dresses are quite small because women married so young in those days,” says Ruth Ortega, who chose the clothing that will be on view.

Among the other items worn by the fashion show’s 60 models are lawn dresses from the early 1900s, flapper dresses from the 1920s, 19th-century tuxedos, and World War II military uniforms. Three mannequins set up in the theater’s lobby will also be dressed in traditional outfits.

Fiesta Queen Carmelita Roybal (who was awarded her crown in May) and her “court” will be the fashion show’s special guests. After the show, everyone is invited to enjoy biscochitos, hot chocolate, and live mariachi music outside the theater.—Emily Van Cleve

quirk for date night The characters

of Ethan and Sophie feel real from the first scene of The One I Love. You probably know this couple. They’re not fun. He’s a grump who’s perpetually offended; she’s a doormat (practically a martyr). Their marriage is dissolving, so their marriage counselor suggests a retreat. Then things get weird. How weird? Twilight Zone weird. Science-fiction weird. Or at least extra-dimensional, existentially experimental weird.

This is the great trick that makes The One I Love so interesting: It’s a marriage drama about a familiar couple, but it’s also a mind-bending mystery. By the end of the film, Ethan and Sophie aren’t unlikable anymore. They’ve changed in the way that great characters change in great movies. They understand themselves and each other much better. But the story doesn’t resolve the way you expect it to resolve.

It’d be a sin to reveal the twist here. Suffice it to say it hits early and is confusing for about three minutes. That confusion could have dragged on for an hour, but instead Ethan and Sophie realize there’s strangeness brewing and team up to unravel it. Watching them work together—taking passive-aggressive jabs one minute and tenderly embracing each other the next—is thrilling because the performances by Mark Duplass as Ethan and Elisabeth Moss as Sophie are so strong. The mystery is compelling, certainly, but the characters are why The One I Love is so watchable.

Duplass was in another strange film in 2012 called Safety Not Guaranteed, which had time travel, young journalists, romance, and a shy exchange student fearful of women. Safety Not Guaranteed has the same Woody-Allen-meets-Rod-Serling vibe that The One I Love does, but this new film is more interesting. The marriage dynamic is a more adult place to play. Ethan embodies everything an insecure spouse could hate about himself. He’s not having fun; he’s trying to understand what’s happening and kind of being a jerk about it. Sophie, on the other hand, can give in a little more. She embraces little pleasures. She’s not stressed out when she doesn’t need to be.

The One I Love is short (91 minutes) and quirky in the best way. It’s the best date film out there, and it’s showing at CCA.—Phil Parker

THIS WEEK, DNAWORKS, in collaboration with Teatro Paraguas and seven associate producers, presents the world premiere of Irma Mayorga’s play Cascarones, a story about human fragility and resilience as seen through the eyes of a San Antonio teenager. Director Daniel Banks—an associate professor of theater and performing arts at IAIA and a cofounder of DNAWORKS, whose mission centers on “dialogue and healing through the arts”—became familiar with Cascarones in 2003, when he saw a workshop version of the play at the National Playwrights Conference. The play stayed with him over the years (he taught it to undergraduate drama students at NYU), and, having moved to Santa Fe from New York City in 2010, he thought it would be an ideal work to stage here.

“The play offers a deep understanding of Chicano culture, but it’s so much more than that,” Banks says. “People of any culture can relate to it. It’s also a story about a young person making sense of the world.”

CascaronesTeatro Paraguas hosts the world premiere of a buzzed-about play

by Emily Van Cleve

Cascarones takes its title from the name of the festive yet hollowed-out chicken eggs filled with confetti or small toys that are popular throughout Latin America and are associated with both Carnival and Easter. The play centers on Mary Margaret Caceres, a teenager who works for the San Antonio transit authority, and her journey to understand her personal circumstances and the particular challenges she and her working-class family face. In what’s been referred to as a dreamlike state, she encounters a number of historical figures—like American explorer John Wesley Powell and Spanish conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado—and comes to term with the effects their past actions have on her present. Cristina Vigil stars as Caceres, while six other actors—Nicholas Ballas, Nicole Gramlich, Jonathan Harrell, Marcos Kelly, Roger Montoya, and Bernadette Peña—assume various roles.

“We held a staged reading of Cascarones at Teatro Paraguas in February,” Banks says. “A moving community dialogue followed the reading. One audience member remarked that this is just the kind of theater Santa Fe needs to bring people together.”

Mayorga, an assistant professor of theater at Dartmouth College and a San Antonio native, has been in town as artist-in-residence at the Santa Fe Art Institute and has been working with the actors during rehearsals. She’ll be in attendance for her play’s gala performance on Saturday night. Cascarones, Teatro Paraguas, 3205 Calle Marie, September 4–6 & 11–13, 7 pm, September 7 & 14, 5 pm, tickets $15 ($10 fixed income, $5 kids), $100 for September 6 gala performance with reception, 866-394-6033, teatroparaguas.org

FANS OF HOT HONEY have called the Santa Fe–based band’s musical style “Appalachian country” and “gothic bluegrass,” but members Lucy Barna, Lori Ottino, Paige Barton, and Willow Doug (aka Doug Meier) haven’t quite decided how to label themselves. “I’d say that sass undermines everything,” notes Barna, who plays guitar and banjo. “We write songs that project a strong-woman-kicking-out-your-door vibe.”

Playing a combination of original tunes written by the three female band members and covers of songs by artists like Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Dolly Parton, Hot Honey steadily books gigs up and down the Rio Grande Valley. Having just completed a series of shows every Sunday in August at the Second Street Brewery, the band is gearing up to play at the Santa Fe Ski Basin on September 6 and The Mine Shaft Tavern in Madrid on September 27.

Hot Honey’s roots go back to August of 2012, when Barna was playing a solo gig at The Mine Shaft Tavern and invited Barton, an acquaintance at the time who also plays guitar and banjo, to join her on stage for a few tunes. The two immediately hit it off and starting talking about forming an all-female band. They both wanted a third member to join them so they asked Barton’s friend Ottino, a melodica player, to come on board.

“Somehow word got out that we’d formed a band, and we were invited to play a four-hour gig [back at the Mine Shaft] in September,” Barna says. “The three of us had one month to pull our set together. We played our first gig as Hot Honey, which was a term that someone had used during a conversation with me and that I really liked. Many of the tunes we played in 2012 are ones we still play today.” Meier was invited to join Hot Honey in the spring of 2013 when Barna, Ottino, and Barton realized they needed a bass player to balance out the high sounds created by their instruments and voices. Hot Honey is currently working on their first CD, which they hope to release by the end of the year. For the band’s latest performance schedule, visit hothoneymusic.com.

Bouche Bistro Chef Charles Dale says that the tuna carpaccio niçoise salad pictured here is representative of the “modern style of classic bistro cuisine” his restaurant Bouche is known for, and it harkens back to his roots as well. Dale is an American who was raised in France, where he drew inspiration for his signature dishes and his unique blend of ingredients from the country’s Mediterranean cuisine. “Everyone does a riff on the classic niçoise,” Dale says. “I thought a sashimi-grade tuna sliced very, very thin would be a nice version and would keep it super light.” Dale also employs a unique interpretation of vitello tonnato sauce (typically served with veal) on his salad. “Our version uses sautéed tuna blended with garlic, anchovies, olive oil, and lemon juice,” he says. Less unusual niçoise ingredients include tomatoes, hard-cooked eggs, poached potatoes, and black olives. Dale dresses his salad with arugula because, he says, “it’s robust enough to hold up to the tonnato sauce, which is pretty intense, [and it] grows everywhere in the Mediterranean.” —Cristina OldsBouche Bistro, 451 W Alameda, bouchebistro.com

In her show The Spirit of the Horse at Manitou Galleries (September 5–September 19, reception September 5, 5–7:30 pm, 123 W Palace, manitougalleries.com), Hawaiian-born artist Ethelinda showcases her signature confident style in a new series of oil paintings that center on horses. Created with bold, dramatic brushstrokes, Ethelinda’s works capture the unbridled spirit of the animal, the evocative local landscape, and, in her portraits, carefully researched depictions of traditional Native American dress.

connecting culturestwo solo exhibits explore traditional identity amid modern-day influences

by Emily Van Cleve

Da-ka-xeen Mehner’s

show “celebrates the lasting

and profound relationship

between the Tlingit

language and song,”

says Ryan Rice,

MoCNA’s chief curator.

Detail from Da-ka-xeen Mehner’s wall installationCall and Respond, which comprises 12 hand drums made of rawhide (elk) and wood (cedar) and features a mold of the artist’s face. The individual drums are 20 x 20 x 8".

DURING THE WEEK of Santa Fe’s 93rd annual Indian Market, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA) opened two solo exhibitions showcasing the work of artists who have close connections to Santa Fe but create very different kinds of art in dissimilar environments.

The Desert Never Left “The City,” which can be seen in MoCNA’s North Gallery through December 31, features 21 oil, acrylic, and mixed-media paintings on canvas and paper by Mario Martinez, a former instructor at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), MoCNA’s parent organization. An Arizona native with strong ties to his Yaqui culture, Martinez has been painting in Brooklyn, New York, for the past decade.

“Mario uses an abstract genre to draw upon the spiri-tual nature of his culture,” says MoCNA’s chief curator, Ryan Rice. “Sacred knowledge isn’t revealed in his work. He draws from animal and plant life from his home in Arizona and blends figurative [and] narrative [elements] to express his relationship to New York’s contemporary urban environment.”

Martinez studied art in Arizona and earned a master’s degree from the San Francisco Art Institute. People, crea-tures from nature, and gray concrete buildings appear in his work, which has been exhibited at the Smithsonian’s

National Museum of the American Indian in New York City and at the Heard Museum in Phoenix.

In contrast to Martinez’s urban-influenced work is Da-ka-xeen Mehner’s show Saligaaw (it is loud-voiced), which centers on reclaiming the Alaskan Tlingit language. The show, in the South Gallery, also runs through the end of the year.

A former student at IAIA and the University of New Mexico, the Alaska native is an assis-tant professor of Native Arts at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. He drew from his family an-cestry (Tlingit/N’ishga) and from his experi-ence of having a Native American mother and non-Native father to cre-ate a wall installation of 12 rawhide hand drums called Call and Respond. Mehner made a mold of his face and put it in the rawhide on one side of the drum to produce a 3-D sculptural effect.

“Visual images that express his disconnec-tion and reconnection to his Native language are projected onto the drums,” Rice says. “Ac-companying the images are songs that he and his elementary school–age son have been singing together as a way for both of them to reconnect with their culture. The exhibit celebrates the lasting and profound relationship between the Tlingit lan-guage and song.”

Running concurrent to the above shows are the exhibits BREACH: LOG 14, an exploration of historical ties to water and material sustainabil-ity by artist, filmmaker, and IAIA instructor Courtney M. Leonard (Shinnecock Nation of Long Island, New York), and Rattlebone, a collection of paintings and related works by Spokane artist Ric Gendron (Arrow Lakes Band of Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla).

lewallencontemporary.com Through September 21

Hiroshi Yamano and Pedro Surroca present meditative interpretations

of tree branches. Japanese-born Yamano is of a pioneering generation

of glass artists who moved the me-dium away from vessels and toward

sculpture, and his pieces incorporate glass blowing, cutting, and etching

as well as copper- and silver-plating. Surroca’s focus on the line, light, and

shadow of the branch form result in paintings with a spare elegance.—ET

Charlotte Foust and Eric Boyer: Visual Poetry

Hunter Kirkland Contemporary 200-B Canyon

hunterkirklandcontemporary.comThrough September 7

Two very different artists are linked by their shared commit-

ment to emotion and form. Abstract painter Charlotte

Foust uses layers of pigment to chart the ever-changing

dynamic between motion and stillness. Of his human torsos,

sculptor Eric Boyer says, “I set out to show the physical

body at its best as a function machine, but one that also

contains hope, dreams, and aspirations.”—ET Charlotte Foust, Cascadia, acrylic on canvas, 60 x 48"

Matthew Higginbotham: Touching LandWaxlander Art Gallery & Sculpture Garden 622 Canyon, waxlander.comThrough September 8Matthew Higginbotham’s ninth annual summer show at Waxlander focuses on his signature high desert land- and cloudscapes while introducing pieces inspired by Oklahoma’s tallgrass prairie and the Bosque del Apache in New Mexico. The artist says he aims to “show the immense power and mystery imbedded within the land . . . a palpable force and presence that is al-ways there if we take the time to notice it.”—ET

STAR LIANA YORK In her upcoming show Wisdom Keepers, which opens September 5 at Sorrel Sky Gallery, Abiquiú-based bronze artist Star Liana York is showing 25 works she created from the late 1980s to the present, some of which have never been seen in Santa Fe. “There’s a common thread in all these works,” says York, who attended the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, D.C., before moving to New Mexico in 1985. “They’re about connecting earth and spirit and the connectedness we have to the greater whole.”

Most of the pieces in Wisdom Keepers depict Native Americans engaged in ordinary rituals, like going to the market or telling stories, but the show also includes a selection of bronzes from York’s Talisman series, with works like Black Jaguar, Moon Bear, and Lion Heart celebrating animals as spiritual liaisons.

A particularly noteworthy piece is York’s sculpture The Art Spirit, which shows famous San Ildefonso potter Maria Martinez engaged in her work. Earlier this year, York was asked to create a sculpture of Martinez by the Millicent Rogers Museum, which owns the first piece of the 35-edition bronze. “I was scared to do [Martinez’s] face because I’m not a portrait artist,” says York, “but I was amazed. It just poured out of me, and I was happy with it.”—Emily Van Cleve

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT


PEELING PAINT, graffiti, sections of a wall, and parts of an old door are some of the images that inspired Robin Gray Design’s new abstract Street Talk rug collection. “We see these kinds of images on the street all the time,” says Gray, who’s a weaver and

practicing architect as well as a textile designer. “We overlook many of them and see them as eyesores, but I focus on these images in a different light when I use them in my designs,” she adds. “While my inspiration for this collection came from locations around the world, it’s easy to imagine these images in many settings.”

Gray is launching Street Talk—one of 17 rug collections she’s created since founding her Santa Fe business in 2004—September 7–9 at The Rug Show in New York City. Weavers in Nepal, with whom Gray has been working for years, execute the collection’s seven designs. The rugs, which are fully customizable, are made in either wool or a combination of wool and silk, with 100 knots per square inch.

“They’re fairly fine rugs but not super fine,” Gray says. “For the intricacy of my rugs, 100 knots per square inch, which is standard in the industry, works well.” For more information, visit robingraydesign.com.—Emily Van Cleve

I confess, I confess, I confess I’ve enjoyed this seriously ‘80s band hailing from Birmingham, England. The group, whose infectiously danceable sound covers everything from first wave ska to punk, may be best known for dreamy pop ballads that fueled teen angst (including the classic “I Confess”). The band officially broke up in 1983, but it’s been reborn in various incarnations in the years since, and lead singer/songwriter and guitarist Dave Wakeling has kept the Beat alive by touring exhaustively with an A-list backing band. High-energy fun recently throbbed throughout the packed dance floor at Skylight in downtown Santa Fe as Wakeling and crew performed the Beat’s hits, Wakeling’s solo songs, and tunes by Fine Young Cannibals and General Public—groups the various band members went on to form in the post-Beat years.—Cristina Olds
