You can call it alt. country, you can call it modern folk--but no matter what label you put on it, in the current climate of popular music The McCoy Tyler Band's songs are refreshingly lucid, rootsy, and at times downright danceable. With influences ranging from Neil Young to The Devil Makes Three, Townes Van Zandt to Railroad Earth, with a little Bill Monroe and Tony Rice thrown in for good measure, this progressive acoustic trio from Santa Cruz, CA will have you out of your seat and dancing in no time. The group formed in May 2011 by way of a craigslist ad posted by songwriter McCoy Tyler, whom after spending six years performing strictly as a lead guitarist in rock and metal groups throughout the San Francisco Bay Area (most notably Trigger Renegade and Brother Pacific), decided to try his hand in songwriting. Among the first to reply to his ad were drummer and Sacramento-native Clinton Brown and Ohio-born upright bassist Chad Bowe n. Both members acclimated quickly to Tyler’s vision of a highly vocal-based style of acoustic music, complete with three-part harmonies and thumping rhythm sections. Shortly after forming, the group recorded a four song EP entitled “What The Mountain Sees” at Tyler’s home studio in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The songs were a backlog of material reflecting the four years Tyler spent living in San Francisco. The straightforward, “no frills” arrangements paired with Tyler’s introspective lyrical style immediately caught the attention of local promoter and radio legend Sleepy John. He invited the group to perform live on his show at KPIG radio station, and soon after had them booked at the historic Santa Cruz jazz hub The Kuumbwa, opening for traveling “folkster” John Craigie. In May 2012 the group set out to record their debut full-length album. After considering multiple local recording studios, they at length decid ed to track the record themselves at Tyler’s studio in hopes that the less intimidating and time-crunching environment would lend itself better to achieving the exact sound they were after. Two months later, they emerged with both a massive mental hangover and the final tracks for the record “Cabin Fever Blues”. The release show was held at Don Quixote’s International Music Hall in Felton and was a tremendous success. They packed the house and had the privilege of sharing the stage with their good friends and musical allies The Coffis Brothers. Now, with record in hand and a slough of successful shows behind them, the group has set their sights on new material and a west coast tour in Summer 2013 in support of their new album. Within their first year and a half The McCoy Tyler Band has performed regularly throughout the Bay Area, including shows at such notable venues as Kuumbwa Jazz, Don Quixotes, The Catalyst, and Moe’s Alley. They hav e also performed in San Francisco, Tahoe, and Sacramento. They have gained recognition and support locally with the help of radio legend Sleepy John and Snazzy Productions as well as had the privilege to perform live and receive airplay on 107.5 KPIG and 88.1 KZSC. Rooted deep in the customs of American folk music, The McCoy Tyler Band seeks to pay homage to such traditions while incorporating their own unique style of lyricism, instrumentation, and performance. Their motto (in the words of David Grisman): “Any tradition results from free thinking.”

New and past work byMaurice Burns, with special guestBilly SozaWarsoldier, May 10- June 29, 2013. Opening Reception for the artists Friday, May 10, 5-9 pm. These two art renegades are a couple of the only living and working artists connected to the heyday of Santa Fe Native American painters in the 1960's-70's, when art luminaries such as Fritz Scholder, T.C. Cannon, and Earl Biss developed a movement, aesthetic and market for contemporary Native American painting that completely broke free from the representational past of traditional “Indian Art.” Maurice Burns was introduced to this group of painters, who had high regard for his work, when he accepted a position at IAIA to set up its Visiting Artists Program. Maurice's current work continues to express his figurative underpinnings, yet he pushes his exploration into the unknown as an art visionary with a strong connection to RB Kitai. Billy Warsoldier is in town and his work and personality are uncontainable. This preview of his new and past work offers a glimpse into how fierce and soulful painting can be, building up to an August exhibition free for all that is sure to make some waves locally and nationally.

Henrieke I. Streckerhas her roots in the Black Forest of southwestern Germany. Her formative and creative years were spent there, and later in Berlin and Frankfurt. In 2008 she relocated to the United States and currently resides and works in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. She has spent her lifetime in photography and alternative photographic techniques. Henrieke's work appears in photographic journals, catalogues, blogs and in books on photographic practices. She teaches The Art of Photography (analog photography)&Historic Photographic Processes at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.
Henrieke Strecker's photogravures and mixed media images rarely have titles. It is her goal to entice the viewer to become an active observer, to respond to the image so as to find his or her own meaning---presumably a new and very personal tale. Thus, she doesn't document an isolated moment as a documentary photographer would nor does she paint a realistic picture, for Henrieke, this type of photographic rendition is too much like a report. Instead, she gives an account of small movements and atmospheres thereby sharing her experience with the viewer. Her technique requires her to remain still, in her own yard, in one place, and quietly allow her perceptions to emerge --- "to go deeper - unearthing, layer after layer, exposing the fields of vision hidden well beneath the surface." The core of her work is both visual and graphic, simplicity derived from her natural surroundings.
Maggie Tayloris exhibiting both new work and a selection of images from No Ordinary Days, her recent book that is a survey for Maggie's art for the period 1998 through 2012. Maggie continues her characteristic style of scanning and enhancing daguerreotypes, tintypes, figurines, illustrations and photographs for which she then creates surrealistic settings for the featured portrait.
The portraits that Maggie uses for her photomontages, the daguerreotypes and the tintypes, are 19th Century pictures. The technical limitations of the medium at the time, the "film" that captured the subject of the photographs, was slow, not very light sensitive. Often the taking of a picture took several seconds, even minutes. While the lens cap was removed from the camera the photographic subjects were required to sit or stand, perfectly motionless, until the lens cap was replaced on the camera. Photographers used specially made props such as the Brady Stand, a 19th century factory made cast iron side table to act as a prop and to assist the subject to be still. Photographers also learned that a smile was always in motion. Pictures of those who smiled rendered the face blurred and the photo was useless. Hence, the portrait subject was admonished not to move, not to smile, not to blink, and, most importantly, not to change their expression. The subjects dressed for this special occasion presenting themselves for the camera in their best, probably their only formal wear. The clothing was dark, often black, creating a setting that had a funereal air or suggesting the subject was suffering some anguish or discomfort. If the photograph was taken in a studio there would be props, such as a table, sofas, stools, and chair, and perhaps a backdrop, a pastoral setting of trees or the like as the hand painted backdrops found on a stage. Rarely does anyone know the name of the person who was photographed. That identity has long been lost to posterity. Finally, the print made of the subject was totally without color, ashen --- just shades of gray. Consequently, these 19th Century portraits took on a stilted stoic and stiff expression, and worst of all, they were gray. No one ever looked happy; they couldn't smile. In her book, Maggie Taylor's Landscape of Dreams, Maggie shows us four examples of original daguerreotypes and tintypes as she collected them and then how she reconstructs them as her own art.

May 25, 2013 marks the opening of Peggy McGivern's annual exhibition at Act I Gallery, Taos, New Mexico. This exciting show continues through July 31. This year Peggy has focused on her beloved Taos - the people in their daily activities and the diverse scenery from mountains to low-lying valley views. There is a mystical draw to Taos and when Peggy is away her imagination is drawn back to creating art works from that place of honor and awe. As with early Taos artists, Peggy feels that same need to record and express these scenes of the heart of Taos and to share her inspirations with others.

Eight Modern is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition,Fay Ku: Asa Nisa Masa. Ku stages mythic tableaus of transformation and tension performed by young women (and the occasional boy). The refinement and subtlety of Ku's technique offer an arresting contrast to the raw psychological charge of the scenes she depicts.
Ku is inspired by what she calls the “residues” of human culture. “Problematic relationships and issues of socialization are central themes in my work: stories, myths and things witnessed inspire me,” Ku says. “I never have any preconceived notion of what the work will look like, and I never sketch beforehand. I work to discover what I am thinking, and I have to find my way to the image.”
Working from her imagination, Ku starts by drawing a face, then adds and erases until her ideas coalesce on paper.
“I grew up in two cultures as the child of Chinese immigrants raised in all-white American suburbs,” Ku says. “The intersection of the personal, social and cultural is where my work lives.”
Ku explains the exhibition title Asa Nisa Masa: “It's from Fellini's 8½, where the Fellini-like protagonist remembers when, as a child, he is told the magic words to make a painting come to life at midnight,” Ku explains. “Also, if you take the ‘sa' off the end of each nonsense word, it spells ‘anima.'”
The reference to ‘anima' is fitting, as she utilizes zoomorphism and id-driven characters to examine social norms and human interactions.
Born in Taiwan, Ku moved to America when she was three. Her bold use of negative space and clean, calligraphic line recall traditional Asian art, while her focus on the figure is more characteristic of American art. Conflict pervades her work, as her line is both urgent and graceful; her images are violent yet coolly stylized.
Ku earned an M.S. in Art History and an M.F.A. in Studio Art from the Pratt Institute. She earned a dual B.A. in literature and visual arts from Bennington College. Ku has been awarded numerous residencies from organizations such as the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Santa Fe Art Institute, the National Performance Network, the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art. Currently based in Brooklyn, the artist has also received grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, the A.I.R. Emerging Artist Fellowship, the National Performance Network and the Urban Artists Initiative.

Fay Ku: Asa Nisa Masa
Location: Eight ModernEvent Type: Art Shows& Fairs
Eight Modern is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition,Fay Ku: Asa Nisa Masa. Ku stages mythic tableaus of transformation and tension performed by young women (and the occasional boy). The refinement and subtlety of Ku's technique offer an arresting contrast to the raw psychological charge of the scenes she depicts.
Ku is inspired by what she calls the “residues” of human culture. “Problematic relationships and issues of socialization are central themes in my work: stories, myths and things witnessed inspire me,” Ku says. “I never have any preconceived notion of what the work will look like, and I never sketch beforehand. I work to discover what I am thinking, and I have to find my way to the image.”
Working from her imagination, Ku starts by drawing a face, then adds and erases until her ideas coalesce on paper.
“I grew up in two cultures as the child of Chinese immigrants raised in all-white American suburbs,” Ku says. “The intersection of the personal, social and cultural is where my work lives.”
Ku explains the exhibition title Asa Nisa Masa: “It's from Fellini's 8½, where the Fellini-like protagonist remembers when, as a child, he is told the magic words to make a painting come to life at midnight,” Ku explains. “Also, if you take the ‘sa' off the end of each nonsense word, it spells ‘anima.'”
The reference to ‘anima' is fitting, as she utilizes zoomorphism and id-driven characters to examine social norms and human interactions.
Born in Taiwan, Ku moved to America when she was three. Her bold use of negative space and clean, calligraphic line recall traditional Asian art, while her focus on the figure is more characteristic of American art. Conflict pervades her work, as her line is both urgent and graceful; her images are violent yet coolly stylized.

Teri Yarbrow and Max Almy are Emmy, AFI and NEA award winning internationally exhibited video and installation artists known for pushing the boundaries of art and technology. Their complex installations seamlessly combine video, constructed surfaces, painting, digital imagery, flat screens and video projection to create dramatic, mesmerizing artworks. The newest creations are mandala-like multi-media pieces that incorporate flat screens behind large waterjet-cut, patinated copper circles, on to which moving digital images are projected that spill on to the wall and span a diameter of 72 inches.
Projecting computer-generated digital images of translucent color on stationary geometric paintings on aluminum panels, Matthew Kluber's new media constructions create a hyper-color field space at the intersection of the virtual world and the physical world. His still imagery—based on the horizontal lines of collapsed digital data that result from a computer crash—is painted on the metal support with fluorescent colors to mimic the luminosity of the computer monitor. The projected images range from beams of light and geometric patterns to colorful looping patters that provide an ever-changing kaleidoscope of color and fantasy that transforms a space.
The Berlin That I Have Seen, by Susan Herdman is comprised of photographs of Berlin that have been collaged based upon formal relationships of color, form and texture, then projected in a continuous stream in a large format video. The juxtaposition of the images goes beyond the formal qualities and comments on the vestiges of violence and chaos of war that remain in the city and that have become a canvas for young street artists who incorporate the ravages of their city's history into their art.

Nearly 40 years after Nagoya, Japan native Teruko Wilde first exhibited her original artworks, the Beals& Abbate gallery will present the newest pieces by the internationally known artist in “Appreciation”. Wilde arrived in New Mexico more than 25 years ago, and has since continued a well-received career embodying works that indicate her love for nature from all parts of a diverse globe. “Appreciation” is reflective of her Japanese heritage as well as the many years spent in her home in Santa Fe.
“My memories and spiritual feeling of a location are the goal, culminating in an impression…my impression of a place rather than an accurate interpretation of the land.”
Wilde's new works fuse together abstraction with a soft, impressionistic style, utilizing drip techniques in oil to form trees, mountains and other natural elements to create a cohesive landscape work.
“Growth in technique and spiritual awareness are leading me more and more towards a fully abstracted view of the world, always influenced by that initial childhood appreciation of the seasons and landscape we live in…” she says. “The comfort of the constant and predictability of the changing of the seasons will always be my inspiration and challenge.”
Time spent at the University of Cincinnati and the Columbus College of Art and Design has heralded the technical proficiency and mastery in pastels and watercolors preceding Wilde's newest oil works.
“Appreciation” will open on June 4, followed by a reception on June 7 from 5 to 8 p.m.

ForJohn Geldersma, after 25 years of exhibiting in Santa Fe, the Spirit Pole has become his signature form. From the first sculptures made of driftwood pulled out of the Mississippi River, to the gentle figurative curves of the aspen poles he now employs, Geldersmas' Spirit Poles have grown and changed with the artist and come to define his aesthetic.
Variations presents approximately 20 new Spirit Poles, all individual works, yet connected to the whole. The installation resembles a "forest" of colorfully painted and carved sculpture and the work evokes a tribal feel that speaks to the connection between earth and sky. Carved with dynamic cuts and smooth edges, then marked with primary colors within a burned black ground, the surface design pushes and pulls your eye around the form.
John Geldersma has an extensive national exhibition record in both public and private spaces, with the most recent public exhibition at the Acadian Center for the Arts, Lafayette LA. This is Geldersma's third solo exhibition at Chiaroscuro.

Roger Hayden Johnson captures the rich colors of sunlight at dawn and dusk in his architectural landscapes. He travels the back roads of the Southwest, Spain, and Portugal, as well as those of the Italian and French regions of Tuscany, Umbria, Burgundy, Provence, and the Perigord, in search of old and indigenous architectural structures. In the few short minutes right after sunrise or the fleeting moments before sundown, he takes photos in his favorite light--that spectacular long-shadowed light of intense, rich color and cool, deep shadow. It's this special light that brings a sense of stillness and tranquility to Johnson's paintings.
Roger Hayden Johnson taught himself to paint the landscapes near the small Iowa farm where he grew up. He later studied art at Central College in Pella, Iowa, and earned a Master's degree in art and art history at the University of Northern Iowa and a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting at Drake University in Des Moines. After having lived in Paris and Munich, Johnson moved with his family to Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1984. He began traveling into the mountains and valleys of northern New Mexico, where he fell in love with the earth-colored walls of old adobe buildings. With its small Spanish speaking communities clustered around churches, the area reminded him of Europe. And when the sun slanted low across these solid, age-graced structures, he was hooked.
New Mexico sculptor, Hib Sabin creates masks, spirit sticks, amulets, spirit bowls, and boats, often-incorporating creatures such as- wolves, owls, ravens, bears, coyotes, and eagles. The pieces are finished in watercolor and acrylic and then steel wool and sandpaper are incorporated to create an aged quality. Juniper and pinon woods are used most often, as they are both native to New Mexico.
He is inspired by Shamanic practices from tribal cultures around the world. The sculptor has traveled across the world studying traditions and cultures, including those of the curanderos in Mexico and tribes in India.
Hib is inspired by Inuit sculptures, Mexican folk art and the mythological cultures of Native Americans. Hib carves animals and instills them with an energy that captivates the viewer.
Many of the pieces he carves are custom made, honoring specific totem animals requested by patrons. He is particularly interested in the symbolism of bears, wolves, ravens and owls, and they appear in many of his works.

LewAllen Galleries presents Sammy Peters: Internal Narrative, an exhibit of new multi-media paintings by this master of unique and playful forms of abstraction. Through a complex interplay of expressive brushwork, sweeping gestural marks, drips and collage, Peters fills large-scale canvas with his signature muted hues and architectonic forms, while employing new, more saturated tones and jazzy rhythms. Drawing on the twentieth-century aesthetic of Modernism, Peters' painterly geometric shapes have been compared to the works of Richard Diebenkorn and Phillip Guston. “Painting is a way for the artist to feel a connection with and contribute to an internal narrative (his/her fiction) that seems to mercifully cloak our lives, protecting and insulating us from a barren, unresponsive reality. Many truths. Interacting with the truthful fiction that comforts our lives,” says Peters of his most recent works.

Cindy says, “The needle is my paintbrush; thread is my medium; the sewing machine an extension of my arm. My journal is my constant companion. I record images, quotations, ideas and news commentary. With tongue firmly in cheek, I incorporate many of these in my artwork, women's issue being among my favorite topics.”

Grounded in the aesthetic possibilities and lineage of pure geometry and architectural form, Manus is particularly acclaimed for her exploration of volumetric relationships, line, scale, and monochromatic color in aluminum sculpture. For over forty years, Manus has created evocative sculpture ranging in size from table-top and wall-mounted to monumental freestanding works.
Rendering physical manifestations of shapes in metal, Manus orchestrates form and line with both a straightforward sense of purity as well as intriguing relational complexity. Her interest is to explore themes of volumetric interplay and linear infinity, rendered with an exuberant sense of playful imagination. Her vector-like trajectories of aluminum seem to have been frozen in motion, carving for them permanence in time. Her predilection for and facility with angular and clearly defined shapes is informed by her study of modern architecture and sculptors such as David Smith and Anthony Caro. She has been termed a “late Constructivist,” related historically to forebears such as Alexander Rodchenko. Manus celebrates the monumentality and freedom of contemporary metal sculpture with an inventive elegance. “If we require an artist to throughly exhaust every matrix of stylistic possibilities, we may conclude that [Manus] has assumed an ethical obligation to continue to explore aesthetically the unfished business of Constructivism,” said Mark Price of Sculpture magazine.
