SHOPPING IN SANTA FE From the time of the ancient Anazasi, 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.

If you thInk Santa fe’S flurry of activities are winding down, think again. a quick tour of our online calendar at santafean-calendar.com will assure you that things aren’t slowing down at all. In fact, may I suggest that this is a great weekend to return to our town’s musical roots—specifically, to those Santa fe musicians who perform here every week and are practically institutions.

Bill hearne has been entertaining us with his brand of country music for as long as I can remember. two-stepping or waltzing around a dance floor to his honky-tonk sound is pure Santa fe. Salsa dancing at the Lodge is another wonderful local tradition that goes back to at least the early ’90s and probably before that. It’s the perfect activity to enjoy with guests when you want them to experience something very specific to this community. another Santa fe staple is nacha Mendez, who performs Latin music at La Posada and el farol.

for something a bit quieter (except for the roar of the crowd), there’s the wonderful cabaret that David Geist does at Pranzo. My dear friend Matthew andrae plays his style of classical guitar at the Inn and Spa at Loretto, and anyone who’s been around for some time is familiar with DJ Luna’s dance grooves, now being heard at Burro alley Café. Santa fe has all the musical bases covered, as evidenced by our own Santa fe Chiles Dixie Jazz Band, which plays at the Cowgirl and has been jazzing up our town for years.

no such discussion could be complete without mentioning pianist Doug Montgomery at Vanessie’s. Doug packs in a big crowd every time he performs, and he’s someone everyone remembers.

While I’m thrilled with the staying power of these local musicians, there are many newer mu-sicians who are equally talented and whom we’ve profiled in NOW. you won’t have any shortage of music this weekend, so get out there and enjoy!

keep your ears peeled: at around 6:15 pm on thursday, october 23, the bell at the top of the historic San Miguel Mission (also known as the San Miguel Chapel) will toll for the first time in more than 140 years, following the completion of a restoration of the bell tower that began in 2013.

Believed to be the oldest church in the united States, San Miguel, which is owned by St. Michael’s high School, was built in 1610. “the bell tower collapsed in 1872 after a storm,” says niña Johnson, executive director of Cornerstones Community Partnerships, which managed the renovation. “the tower was rebuilt, but the bell didn’t function. this restoration brings the tower back to a useful state.”

the renovation of the bell tower is part of a larger five-year project that will see the chapel gaining a new roof, mud plastering on its exterior walls, and interior detailing.—Cristina Olds

On October 23, the bell atop San Miguel Mission will ring for the first time in more than 140 years.

Liam neeson kills hard It’s morning in a Brooklyn cop bar. Matt Scudder tucks into a booth with a newspaper, a cup of coffee, and two whisky shots. a couple of crooks come in with a shotgun and blow away the bartender. Scudder pulls his piece and plugs them both. then he runs into the street and puts down their driver. three men are dead at the hands of Liam neeson’s character, and we’re only about one minute into A Walk Among the Tombstones.

neeson has honed his cinematic killing skills in the incredibly popular Taken series, but fans of those flicks shouldn’t expect the same delights here. Taken and Taken 2 (and, presumably, the upcoming Taken 3) are PG-13 punch-and-kick fests. In A Walk Among the Tombstones, the killings are by gun, knife, and razor wire. this is darker, hard-R fare, strictly for adult fans of gritty, pulpy cop movies. and it totally delivers.

neeson is an ex-cop for most of the flick, which jumps forward 10 years after the opening bar scene. It’s 1999, and society is on the verge of a meltdown thanks to the y2k bug. (Remember that?) a murderer reads about it in the paper and says to his accomplice, “People are afraid of the wrong thing.”

these two bizarre men are kidnapping, torturing, and murdering the wives of drug dealers. Scudder, an unlicensed private eye, gets hired to find them. eschewing computers and cell phones, he breaks the case with old-school, on-the-street investigating. Wading into the underworld, Scudder meets some dicey folks, but alcoholism and a guilty conscience have hardened him. he’s fearless.

A Walk Among the Tombstones is based on a novel by famously prolific author Lawrence Block, and it has the feel of a cop-saga paperback. the characters are nasty and the dialogue is tight and tough: “you gonna attack me with that knife?” Scudder asks a creep who’s helping the killers. “What if I take it away from you and put it in your neck?” the creep can tell he’ll do it. Scudder has that look, because neeson is the master of that look.—Phil Parker

must-see mind games Gone Girl is a hitchcockian

knot, tying together revenge, fame, murder, sex, and crazy people. Its twists thrill. Its characters are dark and unpredictable. hatred and laid-off-middle-class angst mix among the themes, which also include the essence of marriage, shallow thrill-seeking among the media,

and how parents affect their children’s emotions. at the beginning of the film, nick Dunne and his twin sister Margo

are playing the board game Life in the bar they own. that’s also what this movie is about: winning at the game of life. there’s hatred among the characters in this film partly because they’re competitors.

time will tell if Gone Girl goes down as one of those rare examples (like The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Social Network) when a film is better than its book. Probably not. the Gone Girl novel, by Gillian flynn (who also wrote the screenplay), was a blockbuster because it’s great. the book cuts back and forth between first-person narrators: nick in the present story, after his wife amy disappears, and entries from amy’s diary, which go back to when the couple first met.

these are such rich, interesting characters, and each endures a ridiculous ordeal. nick becomes famous for being the number-one suspect in his wife’s murder and handles it terribly. amy . . . well, we mustn’t say too much. (you just have to see the film.) amy is a revelation. her “cool girl” speech, about how women change themselves for men, has been brilliantly translated to the screen, as has everything else that makes the character special.

amy’s psyche is as vast and complex as an ecosystem. Bravo to actress Rosamund Pike for taking on a glorious role and nailing it. David fincher, director of Gone Girl and the aforementioned Social Network (as well as Fight Club), has a perfect story here for his style. nine Inch nails front man trent Reznor has written a score with pulsing moments that crank on-screen intensity until you’re almost flinching. fincher’s bluish, shadowy motif uses long fade cuts that inject literal darkness as masochistic scenes unfold. there’s no genre here. Gone Girl is part thriller, part comedy. Like hitchcock’s Psycho, you just go where it takes you, startle and laugh at the escalating craziness, and walk away grateful and satisfied.—PP

John Serkin by emily Van Cleve

yeaRS aGo MuSICIan John SeRkIn gave up a decade-long career as a professional french hornist and decided to explore playing the hawaiian slack-key guitar instead. he’s never regretted that decision.

“Slack-key guitar music is from the heart,” says Serkin, who’s visited hawaii eight times and has been playing soothing hawaiian tunes at Sweetwater harvest kitchen every Saturday night for the past 18 months. “the slack-key guitar is much easier to play than any classical instrument, but to play a phrase perfectly requires effort and lots of practicing,” he notes.

Serkin grew up in a musical family. his late father was Rudolf Serkin, one of the most venerated classical pianists of the 20th century; his late mother, Irene Busch Serkin, was the daughter of concert violinist adolf Busch; and his siblings include pianist Peter Serkin and cellist Judith Serkin. Serkin became proficient on the piano, the french horn, and the double bass, but it’s the slack-key guitar that gets his artistic juices flowing.

his first guitar, purchased more than 25 years ago, was a cheap instrument with a plastic top that cost $125. today he plays an old yamaha that he thinks of as a dear friend. “It’s got a deep, rich, warm sound,” he says.

With tuning nobs that look like keys and strings that are tuned looser than regular guitar strings, the slack-key guitar can produce a meditative sound,

John Serkin performs every Saturday night at Sweetwater Harvest Kitchen.

“Slack-key guitar music is from the heart,” says John Serkin.

which is appealing to Serkin.“I choose to play music that

comes from a transcendental place,” he says. “Most of the tunes have been in the hawaiian culture since the early 1900s. I’ve written a few songs of my own, but they’re all written in a traditional hawaiian nahenahe [soft and sweet] style. I leave that virtuosic stuff, the kind I used to do when I was a classical musician, behind for others to play.”

a new center that promotes health and healing opens in Eldorado

The Menla Center for Yoga and the Healing Arts

by anna I . Sochocky

neCeSSIty Can Be the MotheR of invention, and it can also lead to successful collaboration. the Menla Center, the first comprehensive yoga and healing arts studio in the Santa fe community of eldorado, was born out of a need among local healing arts practitioners and their students for a dedicated space they could call their own.

Prior to the opening of Menla, Jacci Gruninger, one of the center’s instructors, taught yoga classes in a ballet studio in eldorado’s La tienda complex. four additional yoga instructors taught their own classes in the same location. “While each of us enjoyed teaching, none of us wanted to manage a studio on our own,” Gruninger says.

after talking with their students, the instructors realized that there was a demand for a dedicated yoga center in eldorado. Students David McDonald and Sandy Szabat joined forces with the instructors and created the community’s first holistic healing arts center. after a year of planning, the Menla Center opened in September. Gruninger joined instructors Jodie Pagett, Lorelei Chappell, Viktoria Shushan, Wendy

Singer, Ruth allen, and neela Richardson to form the nucleus of the center. McDonald and Szabat manage the business side of the operation, drawing on McDonald’s background as a school administrator in Sedona, arizona, and Szabat’s degree in public communications and professional experience with media relations and conference planning.

according to the center’s mission statement, menla “is a tibetan word meaning health or contemplative healing.” In accordance with its mission of “promoting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and well-being through a variety of healing modalities designed to lead to life-affirming changes,” the center offers classes and workshops in yoga, Pilates, tai Chi, qigong, meditation, nutritional counseling, body work, and psychotherapy.

“our seven teachers don’t just run in to teach a class,” says McDonald. “they’re part of a larger family. not all studios speak to the idea of community. My vision is to grow our family to offer the healing arts to veterans, seniors, and other underserved populations.”

While the teachers’ multidimensional backgrounds inform the depth of students’ experiences at the center, it’s the collaborative, welcoming atmosphere running through every thread of the center that brings students back.

Pranzo Italian Grill Pranzo Italian Grill has been a premier Santa Fe dining destination for 25 years, and chef Steven Lemon is hoping for many more years of continued success in the future. After serving as Pranzo’s first chef for six years, Lemon left to pursue other ventures, but in 2013 he returned as head chef and in April he bought the restaurant. The oven-roasted bronzino dish seen here wasn’t on Pranzo’s original menu, although many classic items remain. “This is one of our newer dishes in our evolution,” Lemon says, “but it’s still a modern interpretation of Italian cuisine with a Mediterranean influence. We scale the fish, pull the head off, and take the pin bones out of it. Then we roast it until it’s nice and crisp on the skin side and white and moist on the inside,” he explains. The fish, which has lemon slices, fresh thyme, and sea salt inside it, is served with duck-fat potatoes, escarole, Castelvetrano olives, and red peppers, most of which Lemon buys at the Santa Fe Farmers Market during his three weekly visits.—Cristina OldsPranzo Italian Grill, 540 Montezuma, pranzosantafe.com

oil on canvas, 48 x 60"

evelyne Boren became a fine artist in 1962 after enjoying an “aquatic career” that had her working as an underwater stunt double for two James Bond films. the artist will be present at the opening of her show Best of Both Worlds at acosta Strong fine art, which features 28 new watercolor and oil works. the Munich, Germany, native paints impressionistic interpretations of scenes in the Southwest, Mexico, and europe from her studios in Santa fe and Sayulita, Mexico. “My heart belongs to Santa fe, where I have lived for the last 30 years,” Boren says. “I love everything about it: the light, the people, the way of life.

the painter ’s new show at McLarry Fine Art celebrates the year of the horse and the storied history of the American West

P R O F I L Eart

afteR ChIneSe-BoRn Xiang Zhang earned his first major oil painting award in 1995 while living in Dallas, a cable television reporter asked him if he had ever considered painting cowboys. “a big, wonderful idea!” Zhang says with characteristic enthusiasm while sitting in the studio at his home in Mckinney, texas. “It reminded me [I was] in a cowboy state!” Zhang (whose full name is pronounced Shang Zang) was born in 1954—which, like 2014, is the year of the horse, according to the Chinese zodiac. as a boy in Sichuan, Zhang would pass plodding horses pulling farm carts during his daily walk to school, so horses were the first subjects of his frequent childhood sketches. they were his entry into a lifelong love of drawing and painting, and they remain a central feature in his widely collected art.

as a young man, Zhang studied set design at the Central academy of Drama in Beijing, where coursework included four hours of oil painting instruction every morning. his painting profes-sors were influenced by the Russian masters, and Zhang was also greatly impressed by works in

traveling european and american museum shows. he earned a full scholar-ship to tulane university in new orleans, graduating with an Mfa at the top of his class. During his time in the Big easy, he spent hours painting jazz musicians in the french Quarter and worked as a set designer for new or-leans’s opera house and, later, as a float designer for the Mardi Gras Parade.

While Zhang continues to paint dancers, portraits, and the like for his figura-tive work, he discovered his true artistic calling while sitting on fence railings and photographing (and later painting) texas ranch hands at work. for years he’s depicted the drama and dusty action of roundups, roping, branding, and cattle drives, portraying contemporary cowboys while excluding references to modern paraphernalia like pickup trucks.

Recently the artist began reaching more deeply into the history of the ameri-can West. his upcoming show at McLarry fine art, Year of the Horse, features large-scale imagined narratives from the past, like longhorns being driven down a street in late-1800s austin, texas, as a vegetable seller wrangles prices with the cattle boss and a cook. another image, inspired by Zhang’s ongoing research into new Mexico history, depicts a turn-of-the-20th-century wedding party with musicians and onlookers on a Santa fe street.

fascinated by all genres of art and continually exploring new directions and nuances in his work, the painter muses good-naturedly about what might come next. “Maybe Western cowboy surrealism? you never know!”

aLBuQueRQue-BaSeD fresco Books continues its series of high-quality products that trace the history of abstract art in the Southwest with Texas Abstract, which will be at the center of a book signing at Santa fe’s Wade Wilson art on october 25. Coau-thored by Michael Paglia and Jim edwards, the 248-page hard-bound book, which features 200 color images, is the third book put together by publishers kay fowler and nancy Stem, who released the new Mexico–centered Abstract Art in 2003 and Colorado Abstract in 2009.

the work of 33 present-day texas abstract artists, most of whom live in the Dallas/fort Worth and houston areas, are included in the book. twenty-two of those artists have works on view at a show, also called Texas Abstract, at Wade Wilson art that opened earlier this month and culminates with the october 25 book signing. Both of the book’s authors and at least 15 of the contributing artists will be in attendance for the event.

“We didn’t know how strong the texas abstract art scene was years ago and [how strong it] still is until Michael Paglia, who curated our book about Colo-rado abstract artists, told us about it,” says fowler, who founded fresco Books with Stem in 1999. “after listening to Michael, nancy and I decided to [make a book that focused] on texas abstract art.”

according to fowler and Stem, abstract art first appeared in texas in the 1930s. the book documents the role that texan artists played in the history of abstraction, covering various styles—from Cubist-related abstraction to abstract expressionism—that were part of the texas art scene from the 1930s through the 1960s. the book, which costs $85, in-cludes work by artists such as aaron Parazette, Larry Graeber, kristen Cliburn, and Margo Sawyer.

celebrating a living tradition

“tRaDItIon IS DynaMIC. It’s not a static thing,” says Museum of International folk art guest curator karen Duffy. artists’ lively interpretations of and contributions to convention are on display in Pottery of the U.S. South: A Living Tradition, an exhibition of 89 pieces of earthenware from the Southeast. the exhibition opens october 24 with a recep-tion that will include the strumming of local folk duo Round Mountain.

the show begins with a trio of 1880 containers exem-plifying the distinct styles of three subregions in the South; however, the majority of the items are contemporary. the southern potters are distinct in their art in that they dig their own clay, giving their creations a very literal sense of place. “they’re connected with the process from the very beginning,” says Duffy. the ceramics are also wood fired, rather than gas- or electric-kiln fired (which is the typical process today). “Wood firing is difficult and unpredictable. . . . the pieces are not highly decorated. the attitude is that the firing creates the decoration. a good potter can facilitate the effects, but they can never completely control it,” Duffy notes. Depending on the potter’s geographic location on the Piedmont plateau, he or she may use a salt or alkaline glaze for these largely functional designs.

Composed of mostly food-storage jars and dairy churns, which are now part of the museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition includes some face jugs—perhaps the most identifiable regional style. “I compare them to storytellers [in native american pottery],” Duffy says. “they’re charm-ing, expressive, and fun, but they’re a sideline and the potters would be upset if that’s what we focused on.”

Instead, the exhibit pinpoints the regional artistry behind the ceramics and the evolving human creativity that created them. for more information, visit internationalfolkart.org.

expert tips from landscape designer Judith Phillips

by emily Van Cleve

LanDSCaPInG In the hIGh DeSeRt may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be, says Judith Phillips, author of books like New Mexico Gardener’s Guide (Cool Springs Press) and Southwestern Landscaping with Native Plants (Museum of new Mexico Press). the key to making the experience relatively easy is to “mimic nature as much as possible,” Phillips says.

“a great way to know which plants thrive in which specific high desert environments is to see where they grow [naturally]. If a plant is growing at the base of a boulder, it’s getting moisture condensation. Plants growing on a hillside prefer better-drained soil.”

a small change in a plant’s location can impact how the plant grows, since certain microenvironments may have more water, sunlight, or oxygen. “a friend of mine found that when she switched the positions of two plants located 12 feet apart in her lawn that weren’t growing very well, they began to thrive,” Phillips notes.

Plants that are typically easy to grow in a variety of high desert conditions include the three-leaf sumac, Rocky Mountain penstemon, apache plume, new Mexico olive, and desert willow, all of which “are either shrubs or herbaceous perennials [that] live many years and are attractive through several seasons of each year,” Phillips says. “the sumac and new Mexcio olive have colorful fall foliage, and the apache plume is semi-evergreen.”

Describing herself on her website as a “landscape designer, garden writer, teacher, and activist with 30 years experience designing arid-adapted and native gardens in the high desert,” Phillips offers a number of hands-on services through her company, Judith Phillips’ Design oasis (judithphillipsdesignoasis.com). “I design gardens to suit the needs of the people using them, making the best use of the spaces available . . . [and] relying on native and climate-adapted plants to make gardens resource-efficient and easy to maintain,” Phillips says. “It’s easier to create gardens that are beautiful and relaxing to be in when you take advantage of natural patterns.”

Below: Perennial buffalo and blue grama grasses. Top right: Lavender, Perky Sue, and winecups.

Zenobia, a singer-songwriter with deep roots in the music industry, performed at La Fonda’s Fiesta Lounge one recent evening to an enthusiastic crowd of dancing fans. Zenobia recently won the best religious/gospel song award from the New Mexico Music Awards for “One More Night,” featured on her soon-to-be-released CD Resurrection. Besides singing backup with numerous musicians from the 1970s through the 2000s—including The Weather Girls, on their enduring disco hit “It’s Raining Men”—Zenobia is also a music producer and composer who plays keyboards, guitar, harmonium, and drums. At La Fonda, Zenobia and her band performed original tunes and covers of classics by the likes of B. B. King and Bonnie Raitt. Bass guitarist Trixie Merkin is also a legendary musician, and, according to a local concertgoer, is “a hoot! She’s the coolest, suavest bass player, age be damned!”—Cristina Olds
