Millett has spent the majority of his career making large scale metal sculptures that explore the abstraction of both figurative movement and geometry. However, many of these complex creations start from ideas hashed out in wood, small scale, with vibrant monochromatic color schemes. This exhibition presents a collection of these small wooden sculptures for the wall and pedestal. Each piece has a dynamic compositional element that inspires visual interest and translates to the monumental, yet was made for an intimate view.
Based in Seattle WA, Millett has exhibited widely over the past 30 plus years. With family in Santa Fe, Chiaroscuro has become his home-away-from-home gallery and has helped develop a significant local following. This is Millett's second solo exhibition at Chiaroscuro.

Albuquerque artist Kevin Tolman builds his rich mixed-media abstractions with gestural sheets of vibrant acrylic colors through an application of scratching, scraping and drawing along the way. Many aspects from these under-paintings are revealed or obscured as the piece progresses. It is, he admits, a pursuit of serendipity. “I see our world as being very cyclical, random patterned, and profuse in nature. It is also an incredibly layered and thickly complex place that I find interesting and exquisitely beautiful. My visual experience is something I obviously can't help but bring to my work.”

William Siegal Gallery is pleased to presentSelections, an exhibition of unseen works by many of our gallery artists. The show will open April 26, 2013 with a reception from 5–7 pm, and runs through May 25, 2013. To begin the summer exhibition schedule with fresh energy, the gallery artists were asked to select an un-shown or atypical work from their oeuvre to be presented in a group show. The “selections” include a huge (110 x 118”) painted canvas by Paula Roland who is well known for her small to medium scale works in encaustic and a large “life-scale” photograph by Peter Ogilvie from his recent series of Nudes. These and other selected contemporary works will be shown in conjunction with several exciting new Pre-Columbian acquisitions!

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.

Millett has spent the majority of his career making large scale metal sculptures that explore the abstraction of both figurative movement and geometry. However, many of these complex creations start from ideas hashed out in wood, small scale, with vibrant monochromatic color schemes. This exhibition presents a collection of these small wooden sculptures for the wall and pedestal. Each piece has a dynamic compositional element that inspires visual interest and translates to the monumental, yet was made for an intimate view.
Based in Seattle WA, Millett has exhibited widely over the past 30 plus years. With family in Santa Fe, Chiaroscuro has become his home-away-from-home gallery and has helped develop a significant local following. This is Millett's second solo exhibition at Chiaroscuro.

Albuquerque artist Kevin Tolman builds his rich mixed-media abstractions with gestural sheets of vibrant acrylic colors through an application of scratching, scraping and drawing along the way. Many aspects from these under-paintings are revealed or obscured as the piece progresses. It is, he admits, a pursuit of serendipity. “I see our world as being very cyclical, random patterned, and profuse in nature. It is also an incredibly layered and thickly complex place that I find interesting and exquisitely beautiful. My visual experience is something I obviously can't help but bring to my work.”

William Siegal Gallery is pleased to presentSelections, an exhibition of unseen works by many of our gallery artists. The show will open April 26, 2013 with a reception from 5–7 pm, and runs through May 25, 2013. To begin the summer exhibition schedule with fresh energy, the gallery artists were asked to select an un-shown or atypical work from their oeuvre to be presented in a group show. The “selections” include a huge (110 x 118”) painted canvas by Paula Roland who is well known for her small to medium scale works in encaustic and a large “life-scale” photograph by Peter Ogilvie from his recent series of Nudes. These and other selected contemporary works will be shown in conjunction with several exciting new Pre-Columbian acquisitions!

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.

Millett has spent the majority of his career making large scale metal sculptures that explore the abstraction of both figurative movement and geometry. However, many of these complex creations start from ideas hashed out in wood, small scale, with vibrant monochromatic color schemes. This exhibition presents a collection of these small wooden sculptures for the wall and pedestal. Each piece has a dynamic compositional element that inspires visual interest and translates to the monumental, yet was made for an intimate view.
Based in Seattle WA, Millett has exhibited widely over the past 30 plus years. With family in Santa Fe, Chiaroscuro has become his home-away-from-home gallery and has helped develop a significant local following. This is Millett's second solo exhibition at Chiaroscuro.

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.

A newly orchestrated version of John Donald Robb’s Requiem will be performed by the New Mexico Bach Society. The rarely performed St. Cecilia Mass by Charles Gounod also will be on the program. The performances will be presented by the New Mexico Performing Arts Society and will feature top-tier professional musicians now living in New Mexico. Franz Vote, a celebrated conductor who spent years with the Metropolitan Opera, will be conducting both pieces.
The Requiem was completed in 1985 when Robb, former dean of the UNM College of Fine Arts and a prolific composer, was 93. It was his last major composition and was written, “In Memory of Mother, Father, and Eight Brothers & Sisters”. It originally had been scored for a large orchestra and chorus, but for the Santa Fe concert has been re-scored for a smaller orchestra. Gounod, a French composer, completed the highly acclaimed St. Cecilia Mass in 1854, when he was 36. The piece established him as a noteworthy composer.

After a successful year at their Lincoln Avenue location, Pippin Contemporary is making a triumphant return this May to where itall began—Canyon Road. Situated on the coveted corner of Canyon Road and Paseo de Peralta, Pippin’s new space will anchor the famed art road, leading the pack with an expanded inventory and sculpture garden.
In celebration of their relocation to 200 Canyon Road, Pippin Contemporary is introducing some fresh creative talent to the gallery. Sculptors Jim LaPaso, Nic Nobilque, Troy Pillow, and Greg Reiche will all be showing their work in the new location. Each artist brings a unique aesthetic sensibility to the table that both complements and enhances the gallery’s existing oeuvre.
Jim LaPaso’s kinetic sculptures represent an exciting addition to Pippin Contemporary’s artistic roster. LaPaso’s pieces are explorations of the intersection between movement and balance. Buoyant and dynamic, the sculptures undergo continual transformation and take on a life of their own as they are in constant conversation and connection with their surroundings.
Abstract sculptor Nic Noblique will also be showing in Pippin Contemporaryʼs new sculpture garden. Despite being made from heavy salvaged steel, his
designs appear bouncy, radiant, and airy. Sweeping lines coil and entwine around one another, providing the sculptures with a dramatic presence that
challenges the eye to see in new ways.
Greg Reicheʼs sculptures are meditations on the relationships between nature and human consciousness. Monoliths, wedges, and arcs are prominent in Reicheʼs repertoire and provide visual strength to his pieces. Blending elemental forms with contemporary design, Reicheʼs sculptures serve as expressions of connectivity and collective identity.
Seattle-based artist Troy Pillow also creates sculptures inspired by organic and geometric forms. By incorporating both metal and glass into his designs, Pillowʼs pieces “create a union of ease between modern design and nature, blending fluidity with their environment and elements.” Kinetic factors serve to heighten the visual impression of the sculptures, as “both viewer and sculptor react to the same force.” The evocative simplicity of Pillowʼs modernist aesthetic imbues his work with a sense of fluidity, harmony, and elegance.
Pippin Contemporary will be relocating to 200 Canyon Road on May 1st, 2013.

Event Type: Local Entertainment, Performing Arts
featuring seventy Belisama student dancers, with original choreography by the School’s Artistic Director Annie Kohn; instructors Tara Debevec and Jonathan Guise; graduating seniors Amanda Schulhofer and Hannah Sachs; and Founder and Company Director Adrienne Bellis. The evening presents dancers age four to twenty-three in modern, jazz, contemporary ballet, and Irish dances. The School’s philosophy—as demonstrated by the Repertory performance—centers on the individuality, uniqueness of expression, well-rounded lifestyle, and health of each student, with learning through dance in a supportive environment.
A highlight of this year’s concert is the diverse and lighthearted swing set, which includes an Andrews Sisters-inspired Irish trio set to the famous, upbeat ‘Bugle Boy,’ and a somber contemporary ballet for an Amon Tobin song. Judy Garland's ‘Get Happy’ accompanies a cheerful jazz dance performed by beginning teen Kick Start students, “although you wouldn't guess that they just started dancing this year!” said Artistic Director Annie Kohn. Kohn recalls early memories singing and dancing to Garland herself; as a result, choreographing this dance and working with new teen students has been “a really sweet process” for the Santa Fe-born choreographer. “I have absolutely loved working with the Kick Start group, and am so pleased we are now offering a class at Belisama that is programmed especially for teens who’ve always wanted to study dance.”
Offering a classic aesthetic, advanced level student ballet ‘Fly’ is performed to a beautiful arrangement by Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi. The dancers’ movements are at times inspired by the music, and at other moments provide contrast with fast, sharp contemporary steps. Kohn said: “When I’m choreographing for a group, I'll sometimes begin by making a phrase of movement and then use it as a palette to play with.” Following this method in the development of her choreography allows Kohn “space to work ‘in the moment’,” and also inspires her students to share their own ideas in the creative process.
Young dancers in the contemporary school share a circus-themed dance that is sweet, funny, mysterious, and “sure to bring a smile to anyone's face,” said Kohn. “I know I am on the right path with a piece when the students are so excited that they don't want to leave at the end of class!” Music includes DeVotchKa, Rachel Portman, and songs from Cirque du Soleil.
This year’s five graduating seniors, Marisa Graham, Rhiannon Johnson, Hannah Sachs, Amanda Schulhofer, and Alejandra Vazquez Bauer, are alumnae of Charisma Dance Company and have been dancing together for twelve years. Belisama's spring concert will be their final event as a group; the seniors will perform special choreography by Kohn, Sachs, and Schulhofer. Schulhofer has selected a song by twenty-seven year old Icelandic instrumentalist Ólafur Arnalds for her dance, and describes the concept of her composition as “mostly about finding the motivation to keep moving forward, when you reach that point where you feel like giving up—despite how close you are to achieving your goals.” She names dance as a source of energy and inspiration in her life: “Choreographing for my classmates has really proven to me how much we all support each other.” In regard to the seniors’ performances, “their growth and maturity shines,” Kohn praised.
ABOUT BELISAMA DANCE:
School Artistic Director Annie Kohn is a Santa Fe native; she has trained with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Moving People Dance, and under the private mentorship of Mary Anne Santos Newhall. Kohn received her BFA magna cum laude in Dance with a focus on Choreography from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington. She has performed works by many respected choreographers, including Martha Graham, Paul Taylor, Donald McKayle, and Bebe Miller. She has been a company member of Robert Wood Dance New York/Santa Fe since 2009, and continues to choreograph and teach as well as perform.

Event Type: Local Entertainment, Performing Arts
featuring seventy Belisama student dancers, with original choreography by the School’s Artistic Director Annie Kohn; instructors Tara Debevec and Jonathan Guise; graduating seniors Amanda Schulhofer and Hannah Sachs; and Founder and Company Director Adrienne Bellis. The evening presents dancers age four to twenty-three in modern, jazz, contemporary ballet, and Irish dances. The School’s philosophy—as demonstrated by the Repertory performance—centers on the individuality, uniqueness of expression, well-rounded lifestyle, and health of each student, with learning through dance in a supportive environment.
A highlight of this year’s concert is the diverse and lighthearted swing set, which includes an Andrews Sisters-inspired Irish trio set to the famous, upbeat ‘Bugle Boy,’ and a somber contemporary ballet for an Amon Tobin song. Judy Garland's ‘Get Happy’ accompanies a cheerful jazz dance performed by beginning teen Kick Start students, “although you wouldn't guess that they just started dancing this year!” said Artistic Director Annie Kohn. Kohn recalls early memories singing and dancing to Garland herself; as a result, choreographing this dance and working with new teen students has been “a really sweet process” for the Santa Fe-born choreographer. “I have absolutely loved working with the Kick Start group, and am so pleased we are now offering a class at Belisama that is programmed especially for teens who’ve always wanted to study dance.”
Offering a classic aesthetic, advanced level student ballet ‘Fly’ is performed to a beautiful arrangement by Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi. The dancers’ movements are at times inspired by the music, and at other moments provide contrast with fast, sharp contemporary steps. Kohn said: “When I’m choreographing for a group, I'll sometimes begin by making a phrase of movement and then use it as a palette to play with.” Following this method in the development of her choreography allows Kohn “space to work ‘in the moment’,” and also inspires her students to share their own ideas in the creative process.
Young dancers in the contemporary school share a circus-themed dance that is sweet, funny, mysterious, and “sure to bring a smile to anyone's face,” said Kohn. “I know I am on the right path with a piece when the students are so excited that they don't want to leave at the end of class!” Music includes DeVotchKa, Rachel Portman, and songs from Cirque du Soleil.
This year’s five graduating seniors, Marisa Graham, Rhiannon Johnson, Hannah Sachs, Amanda Schulhofer, and Alejandra Vazquez Bauer, are alumnae of Charisma Dance Company and have been dancing together for twelve years. Belisama's spring concert will be their final event as a group; the seniors will perform special choreography by Kohn, Sachs, and Schulhofer. Schulhofer has selected a song by twenty-seven year old Icelandic instrumentalist Ólafur Arnalds for her dance, and describes the concept of her composition as “mostly about finding the motivation to keep moving forward, when you reach that point where you feel like giving up—despite how close you are to achieving your goals.” She names dance as a source of energy and inspiration in her life: “Choreographing for my classmates has really proven to me how much we all support each other.” In regard to the seniors’ performances, “their growth and maturity shines,” Kohn praised.

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. Her work resides in the collections of the Asian American Art Centre in New York, The Contemporary Museum in Hawaii, the New Britain Museum of American Art and the University of New Mexico Art Museum.
