SOMETHING VERY COOL IS HAPPENING. This summer, Santa Fe began raising its nightlife-and-entertainment game. The re-cent opening of the new nightclub Skylight is a huge boon for the local music scene. I’m so proud of the folks involved for taking this risk and giving Santa Fe exactly what it needs. A downtown venue with a per-manent stage solves a major dilemma for local music promoters. That’s one example of what’s going on.
The mayor, who continues to score points around town, is propos-ing bus service for college students on weekend nights. This logical and novel idea will both support Santa Fe’s nightlife scene and keep revelers off the road. How lucky we are to have a city that supports the local mu-sic scene. Check out the Tune In section on the city’s website, SantaFe .org. That’s another example.
I’ve also noticed that various open-mike jam sessions are spring-ing up around town and garnering strong attendance and support. The perception that Santa Fe doesn’t have a nightlife is proving to be simply not true. The only problem we’ve had has been know-ing where the nightlife is. NOW magazine, which is entering its fourth month, is here to provide you with that exact information. Santa Fe’s nightlife is doing just fine, and it’s getting better all the time.

Claire Kahn at Patina Gallery Using bead crochet techniques, San Francisco
jewelry artist Claire Kahn creates complex necklaces and bracelets that contain glass, silver, gold, and stone beads, including sapphires and tourmalines. “The technique is like mosaic,” Kahn explains. “Tiny pieces make up a larger whole. I’ve always liked the idea that putting little things together can create something much larger.”
This Friday and Saturday, Kahn shows a selection of her beaded necklaces and bracelets in person at Patina Gallery in downtown Santa Fe. Kahn’s work is all about patterns, she says: Sometimes patterns are focused around colors, sometimes around particular beads and bead sizes that usually don’t exceed eight millimeters in diameter. Although Kahn doesn’t draw her designs on paper ahead of time, she visualizes each piece in her mind before she begins crocheting.
There’s a versatility in adorning one’s self with Kahn’s creations, which she views as part of the artistic process. “The jewelry isn’t complete until it’s worn,” she says. “You can twist my pieces or tie them like a scarf. They’re flexible and supple. The wearer makes them their own. I’m always fascinated by the different ways that people wear my work.”—Emily Van Cleve Claire Kahn at Patina Gallery, August 8 & 9, 11 am–4 pm, 131 W Palace, patina-gallery.com

the
thumbs way up Life Itself excels
simply as a portrait of an American who got rich and famous by working hard to be the best at something. The movie critic Roger Ebert was so good at his job that he became a multimedia superstar, respected and even loved by his peers. In Steve James’s new documentary, we look back on young Ebert—fat, happy nerd—and also see him not long before he died in 2013. Ebert couldn’t eat, drink, or talk for years after his cancerous jawbone was removed. His chin dangles limply, and we can see through the hole in his mouth to bandages wrapping his neck.
What does Ebert do in the face of such a painful struggle? (He can’t even walk.) He works like crazy. Work is medicine. Using
the synthesized voice in his computer, Ebert speaks of writing well enough to enter “the zone” that athletes sometimes find themselves in when they’re on fire. He forgets he’s even sick when that happens. Ebert was a fearless, clever blogger up until the day before he died as well as a blockbuster Twitter presence, with 800,000 followers.
Ebert also got as close to figuring out life itself as anyone can. He fought cancer like a soldier because he cherished his wife, Chaz, and their family. Memories of his sterling partnership with Gene Siskel helped power Ebert through brutal rehabilitations. At the Movies (originally Siskel & Ebert & the Movies) was two guys often arguing about films—the clips in Life Itself are great—but it was also work done well. Out of their collisions grew fun TV, and, over time, a fondness like the kind between best friends and even brothers. Ebert was devastated when Siskel died from brain cancer in 1999, but the duo had left their mark. Ebert, Martin Scorsese says in the film, “made it possible for a wider audience to appreciate cinema as an art form.”
Right now you’re reading words about a great movie written by someone who watched Siskel and Ebert as a kid every Saturday before dinner. Ebert was an inspiring professional. Life Itself presents him as an inspiring human being. I loved this movie. Please go see it.—Phil Parker Life Itself is playing at CCA, On Demand, and online. M

Art-o-mat “Pull the knob, and KER-PLUNK . . .” says the
promo material for Art-o-mat, the repurposed cigarette vending machines that now sell pieces of art on Santa Fe’s streets. Local artist Victoria Brown hosts the only two machines in New Mexico: MAThilda in El Centro de Santa Fe and CaveMAT in the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. North Carolinian artist Clark Whittington first conceived of Art-o-mat after observing a friend’s Pavlovian response to the crinkle of cellophane wrapping on a snack. Why not wrap art in plastic and use the recently banned cigarette machines as dispensers?, he wondered. “The mission of the program is to encourage art consumption in an innovative form,” Brown says. “What better way to do this than with a heavy, cold, steel machine?”
Since the first Art-o-mat launched in 1997 with Whittington’s black-and-white photographs mounted on blocks of wood, Art-o-mat machines have gone on to dispense affordable pieces of art in more than 100 locations across the U.S. Possible cellophane-wrapped delights that come with a yank of the knob include paintings, sculpture, jewelry, mixed-media works, and more. Locally, Brown stocks the machines with paint-chip pins she creates with found materials sourced from the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo; small glass vials with red chile and yucca seeds by Tiffany Peterson; and wood blocks covered in abstract works on paper by Kenny Goering. The company that distributes Art-o-mat art, Artists in Cellophane, represents more than 400 artists from 17 different countries and invites more to join. Sample kits and guidelines for submissions are available at artomatsantafe .blogspot.com. —Cristina Olds

Stars of American Ballet
The country’s leading ballet dancers tour the world in Stars of American Ballet, founded
by New York City Ballet principal dancer Daniel Ulbricht (seen here).
WHEN NEW YORK CITY BALLET principal dancer Daniel Ulbricht gets a break from his regular performance schedule, he invites a small group of principal and soloist-level dancers from the country’s major dance companies to join him in presenting traditional and contemporary ballets in various communities around the world. Ulbricht’s program, called Stars of American Ballet, seeks to bring high-level dance to anyone who has an interested in it—especially people who may never get the chance to see it performed live. Over the course of its history, Stars of American Ballet has performed from coast to coast and as far away as Mongolia.
This week, Performance Santa Fe (formerly known as the Santa Fe Concert Association) brings Stars of American Ballet to the Lensic for two programs featuring nine New York City Ballet dancers in works by renowned choreographers like George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Marius Petipa, Christopher Wheeldon, and Justin Allen. “Putting together a program is like designing a menu at a restaurant,” says Ulbricht. “I want to strike a balance between ballet classics and newer works.”
On Wednesday, August 13, newlyweds Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild dance the Black Swan pas de deux from Act III of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, choreographed by Petipa. On Thursday, August 14, the pair also dances the pas de deux from Mercurial Manoeuvres, a ballet Wheeldon, who served as New York City Ballet’s first artist-in-residence, made to Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1. “Robert has the charisma of Gene Kelly, and Tiler, she’s like a chameleon going from one style of dance to another with ease,” says Ulbricht. “They’ve been paired together for years.”
Although Ulbricht has his hands full serving as the show’s director as well as the tour manager, he’ll be giving the world-premiere performance of a solo choreographed by Allen to music by Mexican
guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela. “It’s a very athletic dance full of power,” Ulbricht says of the yet-unnamed work. “It’s more than three minutes long, which is pretty long for a solo that’s this artistically and technically challenging.”
Both the Wednesday and Thursday performances feature the same program closer, Who Cares?, which Balanchine choreographed to 16 songs George Gershwin composed between 1924 and 1931. For the final number, the entire cast takes to the stage for a performance of Gershwin’s I Got Rhythm.
Stars of American Ballet I & II, August 13 & 14, 7:30 pm, $27–$100, free lecture by Daniel Ulbricht at 6:30 pm, Lensic Performing Arts Center, 505-988-1234, ticketssantafe.org
“Putting together a program is like designing a menu at a restaurant,” says Ulbricht. “I want to strike a balance between
ballet classics and newer works.”

As much as SFMA brings the natural wonders around Santa Fe into sharp focus, so too does it emphasize the city’s rich cultural offerings—and with good reason. As Founder and Chief Adventure Officer Owen Perillo points out, “Our guests love and appreciate combining adventure with the great history, culture, and cuisine we offer here in Santa Fe.” As well as partnering with the Gerald Peters Gallery and Estrella Del Norte Vineyard, SFMA also leads a Downtown Southwestern Cooking Scavenger Hunt in conjunction with the Santa Fe School of Cooking. In the course of the hunt, guests learn about
defining events in Santa Fe’s past and then work together to prepare a Southwestern menu under the expert guidance of the school’s chefs.
While SFMA generally caters to families and groups of four or more, it also offers private guided excursions, such as mountain biking, arts-and-culture tours, and geocaching for smaller parties of up to three people. Most SFMA trips last from half a day to a full day, but longer outings are available as well. For more information, visit santafemountainadventures.com.
Santa Fe Mountain Adventures
SET AGAINST THE RUGGED backdrop of the Sangre de Cristos with awe-inspiring red sandstone cliffs, dramatic badlands, and thick aspen forests just a short drive away, Santa Fe is the perfect base to experience some of New Mexico’s most stunning scenery. So varied and limitless are the options that sometimes it’s best to let the experts do the planning for you. That’s where Santa Fe Mountain Adventures comes in. Since 2004, SFMA has been sharing with its clients the very best of Northern New Mexico’s outdoors, from backcountry hikes and llama treks to whitewater rafting and stargazing sessions. Even if you’re a local long-accustomed to weekend outings, chances are SFMA offers a trip that will lend a new perspective on your surroundings. By cultivating strong partnerships with a diverse range of local outfitters, including the Stables at Bishop’s Lodge, New Wave Rafting, The Reel Life, and Astronomy Adventures, SFMA offers experiences that go well beyond a sampling of area highlights.
Its regular full slate of activities is augmented this summer by a few new options, including a Trucking and Trekking Adventure, which combines a ride in a Swiss Army Pinzgauer truck deep into the Sangre de Cristos with a GPS-guided scavenger hunt of especially scenic locales. More mellow—and a perennial favorite—are the llama treks offered in partnership with Wild Earth Llama Adventures, where the easygoing animals carry gear while guests learn about native flora and fauna from knowledgeable guides.

THE ADDITION earlier this year of the lovely restaurant Izanami to Ten Thousand Waves—a longtime spa favorite of locals and visitors alike—completed the pleasure trifecta: Guests can now soak, sleep, and sup in the same striking, serene mountain setting.
The dramatic structure that houses Izanami is reminiscent of both an Alpine ski lodge and a modern Japanese cottage. A towering waterfall that pours into shallow pools outside the front door ushers you into relaxation mode (and makes for a dramatic ice sculpture in winter). Soaring ceilings, dark-wood booths, cubby-hole windows, a long community table, and a low-table seating area make up the central room, which is flanked by an open kitchen with counter seating that offers a front-row view of what’s going on at the stoves.
Chef Kim Müller’s lengthy menu allows you to get a sense of an izakaya, a Japanese gastro-pub that serves small-plate dishes. (Sashimi and sushi are nowhere in sight here.) Items are divided into categories: cold, hot, grilled, fried, and sweet. Remember to adjust your taste buds; flavors, textures, and combinations of ingredients are presented simply, and elemental tastes are celebrated. Crunch, spice, sourness, saltiness, and umami give each dish its distinct personality. Don’t-miss dishes include a unique and deliciously creamy edamame hummus pepped up with roasted garlic and mint; a spinach salad with added snap from cashews, bacon bits, and crispy shallots, topped with a luscious tofu dressing; silken miso-glazed eggplant slices (my favorite); crispy fried Brussels sprouts with lemon and mint (the table favorite); and Heritage pork belly with ginger BBQ glaze. The house-made gyoza dumplings have a sensual feel, with a tender pork, cabbage, and scallion filling that dissolves on the tongue. The addition of butter to the sake-braised shimeji mushrooms lends a sophisticated richness to an otherwise modest presentation. Even tofu, which I tend to ignore on menus, thrills when marinated in sesame-tamarind chile and grilled or turned into an almost crème brûlée-esque custard. There’s also a crispy panko-crusted pork loin cutlet with a hot mustard dollop; a great Wagyu beef burger with Japanese seven-flavor chile aioli sitting in for New
Izanami
Mexico green, should your appetite be hearty coming off the mountain; and so much more.
The sake, beer, and wine list, which also itemizes extensive loose-leaf tea offerings, is a journey unto itself. Let the knowledgeable staff guide you. The dessert menu features classics that have been given an Asian spin, like a flourless yuzu ricotta cheesecake and black-sesame panna cotta, both a tasty finish. —John Vollertsen

It’s Santa Fe’s high summer season, which means lots of openings at galleries and museums around town. Santa Fean NOW was at a number of those shows’ recent receptions, and here’s just a sampling of the fun people we celebrated with.

Christopher Benson, Seated Figure 1, oil on panel, 40 x 30"
In his show Witheld Narratives at LewAllen Galleries in the Railyard (through August 29, 1613 Paseo de Peralta, lewallengalleries.com), Christopher Benson displays new paintings of landscapes and interior spaces that are at once familiar and mysterious, comforting and lonesome. Benson’s emphasis on shape, form, and color, as well as his rejection of intricate details and embellishments, strips his subjects down to their essence, luring view-ers into his artworld with impressions of certain times, places, or experiences rather than fleshed-out storylines. Benson, who came of age in post–World War II New England and counts Richard Diebenkorn among his influences, has said: “I fastened early on to a kind of modernist-inflected representation that made sense to me, and to which I have stubbornly stuck ever since.”

Internal LightP R O F I L Eart
CODY HOOPER’S NEW solo show at Pippin Contemporary, Internal Light, focuses on the inner spirit of the artist. “The work touches on the contrast of the struggles and triumphs in life that
makes us the dynamic creatures we are,” says Hooper, who’s known for his sculptural paintings. “I [highlight] illusions of light, contrast, complex layering, bold colors, and surfaces to tell these stories through my paintings.”
One of the show’s 20 featured works is Ocean Moon—the largest piece Hooper’s created to date, measuring 48 x 70". It’s also the first painting Hooper has ever framed. “Something in the back of my head said to frame it, so I did,” he says.
Hooper’s paintings are very textural: Using acrylics with metallic pigments, his works can be up to two inches deep. Swirling strokes, he says, reflect his life-long interest in calligraphy. Since moving to New Mexico from Austin, Texas, three years ago, Hooper’s colors have become more intense. Ocean Moon’s color palette, which is in the blue family, reminds Hooper of turquoise stones and the ocean, which he says he both loves and
misses. “I used more subtle earth tones in Texas, but this area has inspired me to paint more colorfully,” he says. “I think people here want to see color.”
Most of the works in Internal Light are from Hooper’s acrylic- and oil-on-panel series of works. In these paintings, the focus is on combining natural elements with architectural influence; metallic gold washes and gold dust are often incorporated to help give the works a 3-D effect.
“I’m very picky about the paintings I put in a show,” Hooper says. “They have to give me goose bumps or I’ll take them back to the studio and redo them.”

Bruce King: Old Light, New ColorWaxlander Art Gallery & Sculpture Garden 622 Canyon, waxlander.comAugust 12–August 25Reception August 22, 5–7:30 pm
Waxlander unveils new oil paintings by Bruce King that represent a change of direction for the artist, in terms of placing more emphasis on light, incorporating more subtlety of color, and applying paint with brushes rather than a palette knife. “The land is alive, and I seek to capture that,” says King, who was raised on the Oneida reservation in Wisconsin. “I try to show how the land supports the humans.”—Eve Tolpa

August 8–September 14, reception August 8, 5–7 pm
Gerald Peters presents more than 20 works—both past and present—by Nagoya-born contemporary ceramist Jun Kaneko, among them dangos
(Japanese for “dumplings”), which are hand-built sculptures resembling vases with closed tops, and pieces depicting tanukis, raccoon-like figures
from Japanese folklore. Also on display are Kaneko’s glass slabs and layered glass chunks, representing a departure in material while
retaining the artist’s commitment to aesthetic elegance.—ET
Hiroshi Yamano and Pedro SurrocaLewAllen Galleries, 1613 Paseo de Peralta, lewallencontemporary.com August 8–September 21, reception August 8, 5–7 pm
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 medium 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 results in paintings with a spare elegance.—ET

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: JANE FILER It’s telling that in Jane Filer’s paintings, humans are often smaller than the dogs, birds, flowers, and assorted unknown creatures that populate her colorful, fantastical worlds. “I want to put us in proper perspective in my art,” explains the artist, speak-ing from her home and studio in the North Carolina woods. “It’s a focus on loving nature and embracing the whole thing—the planet, animals, even insects—and how we need to take care of the earth.” Each of Filer’s pieces begins as an abstract underpainting, with the artist intuitively moving color around. “The next thing I know, shapes and color start to become a com-
position—a movement or melody or symphony,” she says. With a foundation of rhythmic layers of color and pattern, Filer works and waits until she notices something that compels her to pick up charcoal and then sketch in, and then paint, a figure or form. With each step, the painting evolves as an experience of “free-falling discovery,” as she puts it. Stories emerge, but not in a literal nar-rative sense. “It’s a visual expression that depicts my emotions and spirituality and my life as I’m experiencing it,” Filer says. “I guess if I could write a poem or song, I would. Thank goodness we have art!” —Gussie FauntleroyBill Hester Fine Art, billhesterfineart.comJane Filer, Appalachia Pond, acrylic on canvas, 110 x 56"

A pair of New Mexico abstract artists explore nature and beauty as it is interpreted and expressed through art. Jinni Thomas considers all of her subtly hued mixed-media-on-panel pieces to be self-portraits, while Pauline Ziegen’s work is inspired by the high desert landscape. For her, the process of abstraction is “all about editing and simplifying the visual world into formal ele-ments that become metaphors of emotion.”—ET

Satiny and golden, four simple petals form the solitary flower of the California poppy. The lovelies pictured here were spotted in one of their native habitats: New Mexico’s sandy soil (this time along Garcia Street in downtown Santa Fe). Also called things like the golden poppy, flame flower, and cup of gold, the California poppy is seen from Washington State all the way to Baja California, Mexico, in sunset shades of yellow and orange and even white or red. Its green-blue leaves purportedly have mild sedative effects and are used in Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Native American medicine practices. —Cristina Olds

a new show at Adobe Gallery features works by renowned potter Maria Martinez and her husband, son, and grandson
FOR THE FIRST TIME in the 15 years that Adobe Gallery has been open in Santa Fe, owner Alexander E. Anthony Jr. hosts an exhibition featuring pottery by renowned San Ildefonso Pueblo artist Maria Martinez (1887–1980). “In February, a man from Pennsylvania came into the gallery interested in selling his large collection of red pots by Maria,” Anthony says. “They’re much rarer than the black ones. I decided to put together an exhibit with those pieces plus pots and paintings owned by the gallery and on consignment from other collectors.”
More than 60 pieces by Martinez and her husband, son, and grandson are featured in the show, which runs from August 11 through September 15. Martinez focused exclusively on making pots, and any decorations were created by a family member. Signatures reflect which hands worked on each piece. The oldest pot in the show, which Martinez made and her oldest sister painted, dates from the 1930s.
Martinez’s husband Julian Martinez (1885–1943), son Popovi Da (1922–1971), and grandson Tony Da (1940–2008) were all painters. The exhibition includes one of Tony Da’s final paintings, which he completed in 1981—a year before a devastating motorcycle accident left him partially disabled and with severe memory loss.

High Desert Healthcare & Massage
style
BODYWORKERS Catherine Peck, Jill Gerber, and Tracy Conrad were working at the same healthcare practice in Santa Fe when, in 1992, they decided to go off on their own and co-found High Desert Healthcare & Massage.
Offering a wide range of treatment modalities, including Swedish, Thai yoga, and deep-tissue massage plus cranial sacral therapy, acupuncture, reflexology, Rolfing, and Reiki, High Desert employs
a total of 20 therapists who practice at two locations: 644 Paseo de Peralta in downtown Santa Fe and 5 Caliente Road in Eldorado.
Every therapist on staff is licensed in the state of New Mexico. Many of them have more than two decades’ worth of experience and have
been working with Peck, Gerber, and Conrad for years. “We’re all on the same page, dedicated to helping our clients feel better,” says Conrad. “We support each other. It’s a teamwork situation. If any
one of us is working with a client and feels that he or she could benefit from working with another therapist in the practice who has a different set of skills, we make a referral.”
In a town well-known for its numerous days spas and high-end body treatments, High Desert stands out for its affordable prices, accessible location, low-key environment, and loyal customer base, plus the fact that it’s not actually a day spa. For appointments and further information, visit highdesertsantafe.com.—Emily Van Cleve

Santa Fe’s own troupe of vaudeville-style circus performers, the Clan Tynker, rolled, juggled, and danced all over the Plaza last week at a midday Bandstand performance. The group of brothers and sisters clearly enjoy their stage antics, and the fun was contagious for the young and not-so-young alike. Stilt walking and
fire-juggling unicycle riding are no big things for these pros, who’ve
appeared in movies (Beer for My Horses) and traveled the world
(Germany, Egypt, Costa Rica) with their show. The group’s
downtown performance climaxed with awe-inspiring fire eating and sword swallowing, as any good circus must. —Cristina Olds
