R. A. W. Tuba: From Sandtown to Symphony

Tickets

Jan 26 – Jan 31 all-day

R. A. W. Tuba: From Sandtown to Symphony

R.A.W. Tuba: From Sandtown to Symphony is a documentary about a Baltimore child who experienced intermittent homelessness but went on to become a world-class symphony musician and professor.

As a child, Richard Antoine White (R. A. W.) slept wherever he could, sometimes in abandoned rowhomes where he was chewed on by rats during his sleep.

Now in his 40s, he still has those scars across his abdomen. But despite enormous challenges, he went on to become the first African American to receive a doctor of music degree in tuba performance, which he earned at one of the most prestigious music schools in the country.

Richard is now a tenured professor at the University of New Mexico and the principal tubist for the Santa Fe Symphony and New Mexico Philharmonic, which is in and of itself an Olympian-level accomplishment.

R.A.W. Tuba: From Sandtown to Symphony is presented in Partnership by the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and the Santa Fe Youth Symphony Association.

All funds will benefit the organizations’ youth music programs.

R. A. W. Tuba: From Sandtown to Symphony centers on the life of the renowned tubist Dr. Richard Antoine White (R. A. W.). who rose from being homeless in Baltimore to being the first African American to earn a Doctorate of Music in Tuba Studies and winning major positions with multiple symphony orchestras, including the Santa Fe Symphony and New Mexico Philharmonic.

SCREENS FROM JANUARY 26TH – 31ST

Mysteries of the Sand @ White Sands National Monument

Tickets

Jan 28 @ 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM

I’m careening among huge sand dunes, and hanging on for dear life. Not that Patrick Martinez, a polite and gracious biotechnician, has suddenly gone loco behind the wheel of his Polaris ATV. It’s just that White Sands National Monument, where he works, seems to bring out another side to everything. Normally dark lizards get a curious hankering to turn pale. Typically squat yuccas gloat atop 30-foot stalks—until the sand shifts below and they topple over. During summer storms, fairy shrimp, dormant for decades, spring to life in impromptu lakes. Out on the flats, prehistoric camel tracks drift like hallucinations into the shimmering distance. If you thought White Sands was just an inland beach, think again. True, thousands of folks visit the monument near Alamogordo each year to romp among the drifts, camp beneath a Cyclops moon, or sneak a peek at celebs such as model Kendall Jenner doing photo shoots. But the open-air laboratory is full of scientific surprises that seem to reveal themselves with every shifting dune. Like this one: Archaeologists recently discovered footprints left by fearless—and undoubtedly hungry—prehistoric humans as they hunted an eight-foot-tall, razor-clawed, and very cantankerous sloth. These breakthroughs about what’s called the “White Sands trackway,” vividly recounted through ranger-guided tours and a new visitor-center exhibit, show that this ivory sea has always teemed with scrappy life. Today, my exuberant crew is only adding to the legend. As Martinez bounces up and down the hills, biologist David Bustos, his co-worker, can barely stifle a grin in the seat next to me. Who can blame him? Few places on earth are more eternally eccentric. We stop and Bustos snugs his sunglasses against the crystalline glare. “People just see dunes,” he says. “But even 10 years ago, we didn’t know that we possibly have one of the largest concentrations of Ice Age megafauna footprints in America. It’s very dynamic, and all of this stuff is changing the way people think about the past.” AT ROUGHLY 275 SQUARE MILES, White Sands ranks as the world’s largest gypsum dune field, extending beyond the monument’s boundaries. Topographical maps are a waste of time here. Young dunes can ramble almost 40 feet in a single year and soar 60 feet above the desert floor. Crazier still, the whole white desert is held together by water. To make this point, we stop alongside a gray metal tube poking out of the ground. Bustos kneels, screws a cap off the tube, and measures the groundwater level. It’s just inches below us. He scrapes back a bit of sand with his glove, baring gypsum that is moist and hard. “This shallow aquifer keeps the dunes in place,” he explains. “If there wasn’t this high water table, they would just dry out and blow away. People don’t think there’s any water here, but actually there’s water everywhere.” And where there is water, there is ever-changing life. Like Darwin’s Galápagos Islands, White Sands is an evolutionary petri dish. Among animals, the key adaptation is to get white. That allows them to hide from predators and stay cooler in the summer heat. From the 1920s to the 1960s, researchers discovered at least seven species that had turned permanently light-colored within the dunes, even as their cousins on the outside remained dark. “We have an animal from nearly every class of vertebrate that has adapted to White Sands,” Bustos says. HOW DO YOU CREATE an enormous gypsum dune field? It helps if you’ve got 250 million years to work on it. That’s how long ago gypsum sediments began settling in a shallow, inland sea here. About 10 million years ago, those sediments were thrust upward, creating the San Andres and Sacramento Mountains, which ring today’s Tularosa Basin. Every time it rains, the water carries that gypsum down once more, replenishing the dunes.

What results is a quirky tango between geology and biology. “It’s one of the only places in the world where you can see a succession from rock or crystal to sand to dune,” says Bustos, “and every step along this process has these little micro-habitats and niches in the ecosystem. So the bacteria, the microbes, the plants, the animals—everything changes dramatically.”

Increasingly, scientists are tracing this evolutionary drama straight back through millennia. “Recently, we’ve been finding thousands and thousands of fossilized footprints of mammoths and camels, dire wolves and sloths,” Bustos says. “What drew all those creatures is the same thing that draws them today: There was always water here. This was one of the largest wetlands in the prehistoric Southwest. In the 1970s, in a roundabout way, those wetlands also drew the attention of archaeologist and longtime NMSU professor Peter Eidenbach. I meet with him on the breezy patio of a hilltop Alamogordo coffee shop, exquisite views of the cloud-dappled Tularosa Basin spreading far below us. He looks to be the quintessential desert sage, with round glasses and a rangy beard that dances in the wind. Within that world’s biggest gypsum deposit, he says, lies “some of the most intact prehistoric archaeology around”—beyond mammoth bones and camel prints. On a survey by horseback in 1973, he and a colleague put the ancient Jornada Mogollon people on the map by unearthing 65 campfire sites they’d left behind from 500 BC to AD 1450. The Jornada “was a culture that developed right in place from the archaic people of an earlier period,” Eidenbach says. “They were hunting populations, Paleo Indian people who were adapted to the Chihuahuan Desert.” But as the environment changed and grasslands withered, the Jornada Mogollon were forced to change as well. “Instead of hunting big game, like mammoths, American camels, early horses, and ground sloths,” he says, “they started to explore mountains. At some point, around 4,000 years ago, they obtained corn from Mexico and started to grow it as a supplementary crop. Then, as their population grew, they had to intensify their agriculture. So they developed villages along major arroyos, used dry-land irrigation, and started developing pottery—brown ware, red on brown—along with various polychromes.” They also left behind an abundance of rock art—intriguing images of people, animals, and symbols still visible at the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site, 20 miles north of Tularosa—a perfect spot to ponder this vanished culture. All of which begs the question: Where did they go? Eidenbach sighs and sips his coffee; among archaeologists, this is the million-dollar question. “Well,” he says, “I think as the climate changed in the 14th and 15th centuries, that’s when the Great Plains became full of bison. Hunting is a lot easier than farming. I think these people largely migrated eastward and went buffalo hunting.” BY COMPARISON, TODAY’S visitors to White Sands National Monument—established by Herbert Hoover in 1933—have a cakewalk, especially if they choose to go in cooler-weather months. (Take the warm-weather warnings about adequate hydration and a shady hat seriously.) The ADA-accessible Interdune Boardwalk stretches a few feet above the sand and is dotted by excellent tutorials on plants, animals, and the old lakebed’s restless nature. The Dune Life Nature Trail moves the tale forward, traversing what’s called an “ecotone,” or the meeting place between desert scrub and gypsum dunes. There you might see the “tail trail” of the Cowles prairie lizard that disappears in a flurry of sand, and the crescent indentations of an Apache pocket mouse, scurrying to the nearest sumac bush. You could spot the fierce splay of a roadrunner’s feet, or paw prints from a lonely coyote climbing some wind-scalloped slope. All of these clues are delicate, soon to be swallowed by shifting sands. Back at the Polaris, Bustos describes the entire dune field as a living organism, which aids in its preservation and keeps it from being loved to death by visitors. “The dunes move so fast that any impact upon them is minimal,” he says. As the sun gets higher, he glances at the surrounding white slopes and gets philosophical. “You know, this has been a place of life for humans and animals for thousands and thousands of years, and we’re just starting to understand how diverse it is,” he says. “It’s such a strange, complex place. It seems very simple until you start inspecting it a little bit and then it’s like Holy cow. It’s too much.” Martinez looks around and nods in agreement. Then he fires up the Polaris. We climb aboard and roar off into this mischievous sea of white.

INTO THE GREAT WHITE OPEN Now in its 85th year, White Sands National Monument sits in southern New Mexico between Alamogordo and Las Cruces, either of which offers plenty of lodging and eating options. The monument is open daily except Christmas. Call ahead or check its Facebook page; it closes for tests at the nearby White Sands Missile Range. Gates open at 7 a.m.; visitors must leave by nightfall (6 p.m., November 4–December 24). Admission is $5 a person, free for ages 15 and under.

Dogs on leashes, horses, and other pack animals are welcome, too. On November 1 and 4, tag along on guided sunset strolls. Tours of Lake Lucero Tours of Lake Lucero are on November 3 and 24 and December 29. The visitor center has information about the region’s geology, biology, and more, along with snacks and drinks.

MURDER IN THE DESERT A vanished colonel in White Sands is at the heart of New Mexico’s longest unsolved mystery. One crisp morning in February 1896, Colonel Albert Jennings Fountain, an influential New Mexico lawyer, was heading home to Mesilla from Lincoln with his eight-year-old son, Henry. Near the territory’s vast White Sands, they vanished. The colonel’s buckboard wagon was found, along with plenty of blood. No bodies were ever recovered. Fountain was a big wheel in New Mexico, having served as speaker of the House of Representatives and helped to found what would become New Mexico State University. Most recently, he’d served as chief investigator for the Southeastern New Mexico Stock Growers Association, which led him to seek cattle-rustling indictments against Tularosa Basin ranchers Oliver Lee and Jim Gilliland. He’d been in Lincoln working on the case, which immediately cast suspicion on the two men. Some three years after Fountain’s disappearance, they were charged with murder, along with an associate who was later dropped from the case. It was the O.J. trial of its day. Sheriff Pat Garrett investigated it. Thomas B. Catron, one of the land speculators of the Santa Fe Ring, prosecuted it. Leading the defense: Albert Bacon Fall, a Fountain rival who would later face national shame in the Teapot Dome Scandal. The trial was moved to Hillsboro, near modern-day Truth or Consequences, to escape the pro-and-con passions of locals. Still, Fall didn’t hesitate to play on Tularosa sentiments favoring Lee. “The sympathy of the local community, particularly the ladies, is now with the defendants,” trumpeted the Albuquerque Journal-Democrat. Those sentiments proved insurmountable. The two defendants were acquitted. Resentments still linger, says Jean Killer, museum curator for the Tularosa Basin Historical Society, in Alamogordo. “It depends upon which side of the mountain you come from,” she says. “If you come from the Tularosa Basin, there is very positive support of Oliver Lee in the Fountain activities—they say he had nothing to do with it. But if you’re in the Doña Ana County area where Fountain was from, it’s an entirely different story.” Story shared from NewMexico.org https://www.newmexico.org/nmmagazine/articles/post/white-sands/?fbclid=IwAR3N5HkFhD0P-Xvt8MgR3KLdC35n2VSszPWDH_C8Uk_t15Ukeu0k2h2K0b0

José Guadalupe Posada Show @ Albuquerque Museum

Tickets

Jan 28 @ 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

The José Guadalupe Posada Show celebrates one of Mexico’s most sought after artists was a printmaker, a common man who died a pauper, his body interred in an unmarked grave. Yet, José Guadalupe Posada Show has reached his countrymen through perhaps more than 20,000 images documenting nearly every aspect of life. Posada’s satirical skeletons, or calaveras, have become the most iconic and celebrated of his work. The exhibition recognizes Posada’s cultural contributions, which reflect the spirit of Mexican identity in his time and imparts a universal perspective extending well beyond the borders of his native Mexico. As Mexico modernized in the late 19th century, its capital bustled with published materials to satisfy the growing metropolis and its budding middle class, intelligentsias, and thousands of new residents relocating from the countryside. Employed by the visionary publisher Antonio Vanegas Arroyo, Posada created expressive images reflecting and informing the transitioning culture of Mexico City’s residents. “Posada engaged with the visual language of the time,” says Curator of Art Josie Lopez, Ph.D. “Modernism was developing. Mexico City was becoming cosmopolitan, on par with Paris and London.” Posada’s art lampooned: politicians, recorded vivid images of the Mexican Revolution, inspired Mexico’s famed Taller Grafica Popular to use art for social causes, helped the Cuban Revolution succeed, adorned concert tickets for the Grateful Dead, and today leaps to life annually as the skeletal images seen during Day of the Dead, so popular now there is even a Disney and Pixar film, Coco, that celebrates the holiday. Yet Posada’s influence is rarely associated with his name, his true story virtually unknown. In addition to José Guadalupe Posada: Legendary Printmaker of Mexico, Albuquerque Museum will present two other exhibitions this Winter that further the artistic narrative of Mexico: Luís Jiménez: Motion and Emotion (which opens January 16, 2021) and Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism (which opens February 6, 2021). Together, they provide an opportunity to explore how Mexican art responded to and shaped the political and creative identity of Mexico. Each of these exhibitions include works by contemporary artists from the United States and Mexico such as Luís Jiménez, Esther Hernandez, and others who were looking to Posada and the Mexican modernists as groundbreaking examples who reshaped art and culture in a particular time and place.

José Guadalupe Posada Aguilar was born in Aguascalientes, Mexico, February 2, 1852, he died in Mexico City, Mexico, January 20, 1913.   José Guadalupe Posada was a Mexican artist who lived over one hundred years ago.

He worked as a lithographer, engraver and cartoonist or what might be termed a caricaturist because he made drawings that were later photographed for publications such as “Argos”, “Gil Blas’ or the “Biblioteca del Niño Mexicano” (Reference: Bonilla, personal communication).

He worked at a time when photo-mechanical technology was in its infancy but growing is use. Earlier in his career his images were mainly lithographs and engravings.

Posada’s images are among the most widely seen and his legacy perhaps the most influential of all Mexican artists yet his name has yet to achieve the level of recognition as that of artists such as: Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo or Rufino Tamayo.

  Various aspects of Posada’s story are contained in the digital format of this website including some of the latest historical research about Posada.

His art as contained in our collection, exhibitions, relevant links, documentary film information and merchandise.

From Posada’s famed Day of the Dead images, Chicano Art (Latinx Art), the Grateful Dead and social movement imagery, José Guadalupe Posada inspiring spirit is ever present.

Thanks to many fine scholars, as we learn more about Posada we revise and update what we learn and piece by piece a more complete story of his life emerges. For example, the original Monografía. Las obras de José Guadalupe Posada.

Grabador mexicano, published in 1930, among other errors, shows his birth year as 1851.

This date is still sometimes repeated in subsequent publications but, thanks to research efforts of Alejandro Topete del Valle, Posada’s birth year has been established as 1852 and also to his credit is much more detail about Posada’s family and early life in Aguascalientes. for more information please visit: https://www.cabq.gov/culturalservices/albuquerque-museum/exhibitions/posada

Santa Fe Billboard Project @ SITE Santa Fe

Tickets

Jan 28 @ 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

SITE Santa Fe’s Billboard Project began in 2017 with the opening of SITE’s new building. Bridging the gap between the museum and the public, the Billboard Project introduces art into public space and invites community engagement. NINA ELDER Adaptations from the Incomplete List series, 2018 New Mexico-based artist and researcher Nina Elder creates work that examines geologic time, the influence of human activity on the environment, and changing cultures and ecologies. Elder’s Incomplete Lists are a part of her ongoing investigation into the act of bearing witness, and reflections on her personal experience of interdisciplinary research. The process begins by trying to answer questions, as exhaustively as possible, in one sitting. For example: What is fleeting? What might offer protection? What is sensitive? Elder then rearranges the words until there is no hierarchy and no pattern. These lists function both as drawings and as poems. An Incomplete List of Things That Are Sensitive is depicted against a photo of cracked Indiana limestone, referencing Elder’s ongoing research into quarries, mines, and human interruptions into geologic time. An Incomplete List of Things That Protect shows the artist’s hand covered in a fine yellow powder, a mysterious substance that speaks of toxicity. After discovering that many science museums create fake uranium specimens for display, Elder began working with synthetic uranium as well as radioactive charcoal in her visual explorations of the atomic legacy. An Incomplete List of Things That Are Fleeting depicts an island of the Southeastern coast of Alaska. This island, an important site for hunting, fishing and seaweed gathering for the Tlingit and Haida peoples, will soon be inaccessible due to rising oceans.
