Met Live Summer Encore "Carmen"
Carmen – Georges Bizet
Original transmission date: Saturday, January 16, 2010

And I think it should be shocking."

“Mostly Collage” Solo Exhibition by TCA Member Judy Van Heyst

“Mostly Collage” Solo Exhibition by TCA Member Judy Van Heyst
Caffe Renato
Artist Reception
Friday May 3, from 5-7
The Taos Center for the Arts and Caffe Renato have partnered to feature TCA member art in the dining rooms of the cafe’s restaurant. TCA Exhibits at Caffe Renato will feature a solo exhibition by Judy Van Heyst, titled “Mostly Collage”. The exhibition will include her plein air paintings, but mostly her collage works. Found elements, both natural and manmade, are recurring materials in her collages and as elements they must interest, excite or facinate in some way.
Judy utilizes scraps which she has found, collected, has specially created or transformed as the initial stimulus in the making of her artwork. Scraps of paper, some with partial text, some cut or torn from her notebooks, some of light tissue paper that she has transformed by layers of paint, encaustic and acrylic binders are overlapped and layered, partially revealing, partially concealing what lies beneath.
Surface texture can be created by the use of scraps of fabric, pieces of string and yarn, grasses, leaves, coffee grounds and sand. It is a process of making a unified whole from a grouping of fragmentary materials of different essences. These scraps, these objects taken from familiar surroundings and recombined toward an aesthetic purpose also bring their own associations along. Images are suggested and subtly implied but not defined. It is essentially a poetic activity.
Her work includes recent abstract works. The designs move between opposites of hard-edged geometrical shapes to soft flowing, atmospheric suggestions of a pictorial space.
Always influenced by where she lives, where her travels take her. Van Heyst creates notebooks filled with ink and watercolor sketches, notes, and clippings that lead her on various journeys of exploration. "In my recent Anasazi (Chaco) Series 1 saw designs on pottery dating back to 1000 A.D while camping in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. These were tight, precise designs using a sophisticated understanding of negative and positive spaces- -very hypnotizing and complex." She states that "I find that an expressive line drawing on site records places, people, details more useful to me than photos. I never forget a place, the feel, smell and sounds where I have done one of these drawings."

But, as the Cold War meets the sexual revolution, and the threat of nuclear holocaust escalates, the lifelong friendship of the two girls is shattered - by the clash of desire and the determination to survive.
“Elle Fanning is simply extraordinary as a budding teen in 1962 London who takes the whole weight of the world on her small shoulders in Ginger & Rosa, Sally Potter’s sharply observed tale of growing up amid the turmoil the nuclear threat and familial discord…Ginger & Rosa belongs to Fanning, who was just 13 during the shoot.” – Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter

Movies at the TCA “The Reluctant Fundamentalist"
Taos Community Auditorium
Sunday, June 30 at 2 PM
Monday and Tuesday July 1 & 2 at 7:30 PM
Country: USA/UK/Qatar, Language: English/Hindi, Runtime: 130 min., Rated R for language, some violence and brief sexuality
We begin in 2011 in Lahore. At an outdoor café a Pakistani man named Changez (Riz Ahmed) tells Bobby (Liev Schreiber), an American journalist, about his experiences in the United States. Roll back ten years, and we find a younger Changez fresh from Princeton, seeking fortune and glory on Wall Street. The American Dream seems well within his grasp, complete with a smart and gorgeous artist girlfriend, Erica (Kate Hudson). But when the Twin Towers are attacked, a cultural divide slowly begins to crack open between Changez and Erica. Changez’s dream soon begins to slip into nightmare: profiled, wrongfully arrested, strip-searched and interrogated, he is transformed from a well-educated, upwardly mobile businessman to a scapegoat and perceived enemy. The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a story about conflicting ideologies where perception and suspicion have the power to determine life or death.
"There’s much to enjoy in ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’: fine photography, juicy supporting turns from Kiefer Sutherland and Om Puri, and a powerfully sustained sense of a man adrift in a world going mad. But Nair’s customary absence of subtlety does lead to the occasional howler – a scene at hipster Hudson’s art installation is particularly cringeworthy – and the conclusions she draws are fuzzy at best." - Tom Huddleston ,Time Out London

“In the Grove” Mimi Chen Ting Exhibition

“In the Grove” Mimi Chen Ting Exhibition
Encore Gallery, Taos Community Auditorium
Recipient of the Agnes Martin Award for Abstract Painting and Drawing in the 2012 Taos Fall Arts Festival, painter and print-maker Mimi Chen Ting brings her work concurrently to three separate venues, marking her first twenty-five years of calling Taos home this summer.
“In the Groove” at the Encore Gallery at the TCA runs from July 3 to September 1, with a reception on July 12, 5-7 PM. “Off the Wall” at the Taos Inn (6/20 to 9/16) and “On the Move” at the Hulse/Warman Gallery (6/30 to 7/29) are the other shows in town, all within strolling distance that makes for a great walking tour of the town by the interested viewer.
Captivated by the inimitable light that is Taos upon arrival on an impromptu overnight detour, Mimi responded by immediately plotting her stay and planting her roots! Continuously inspired by the ever-changing vistas, the uncompromising clarity, and the intense weather patterns that permeate the everyday in Taos, she relinquishes the angst that she thought was a necessary part of creativity, and embraces the ease and joy of working with non-associative colors, heightened contrasts, and sinuous contours that define her paintings.
With the help of TCA director Deborah McLean, “In the Groove” brings together a group of Mimi’s larger paintings selected with the particular dimensional nature of the Encore Gallery in mind. The crisp, spacious interior provides an especially conducive environment for canvases reflecting the eclectic influences that inform them.
As Mimi says, “I am just a stick-in-the mud trying to go with the flow. I am slow, but I’ll get there … eventually”. Please come and help her revel in the groove! Call 575-758-2052 for gallery hours or to make an appointment.

The Taos Film Society will meet after the Sunday matinee, come join the discussion.
Monday and Tuesday July 15 & 16 at 7:30 PM
Country: USA, Language: English, Runtime: 99 min., Rated R for some language.
A contemporary reimagining of Henry James' novel, What Maisie Knew tells the story of a captivating little girl's struggle for grace in the midst of her parents' bitter custody battle. Told through the eyes of the title's heroine, Maisie navigates this ever-widening turmoil with a six-year-old's innocence, charm and generosity of spirit. Starring Julianne Moore, Alexander Skarsgård, Steve Coogan and Joanna Vanderham, introducing Onata Aprile as "Maisie."
An aging rock star (Moore) and a contemporary art dealer (Coogan)—Susanna and Beale are too self-involved even to notice their neglect and inadequacy as parents; their fight for Maisie is just another battle in an epic war of personalities. As they raise the stakes by taking on inappropriate new partners, the ex-nanny Margo and the much younger bartender Lincoln (Vanderham and Skarsgård), the shuffling of Maisie from household to household becomes more and more callous, the consequences more and more troubling. Always watchful, however, Maisie begins to understand that the path through this morass of adult childishness and selfish blindness will have to be of her own making.

Told through the eyes of the title's heroine, Maisie navigates this ever-widening turmoil with a six-year-old's innocence, charm and generosity of spirit. Starring Julianne Moore, Alexander Skarsgård, Steve Coogan and Joanna Vanderham, introducing Onata Aprile as "Maisie."
An aging rock star (Moore) and a contemporary art dealer (Coogan)—Susanna and Beale are too self-involved even to notice their neglect and inadequacy as parents; their fight for Maisie is just another battle in an epic war of personalities. As they raise the stakes by taking on inappropriate new partners, the ex-nanny Margo and the much younger bartender Lincoln (Vanderham and Skarsgård), the shuffling of Maisie from household to household becomes more and more callous, the consequences more and more troubling. Always watchful, however, Maisie begins to understand that the path through this morass of adult childishness and selfish blindness will have to be of her own making.

Midnight's Children is an epic film from Oscar-nominated director Deepa Mehta, based on the Booker Prize winning novel by Salman Rushdie. At the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, as India proclaims independence from Great Britain, two newborn babies are switched by a nurse in a Bombay hospital. Saleem Sinai, the illegitimate son of a poor woman, and Shiva, the offspring of a wealthy couple, are fated to live the destiny meant for each other. Their lives become mysteriously intertwined and are inextricably linked to India's whirlwind journey of triumphs and disasters.
From the unlikely romance of Saleem's grandparents to the birth of his own son, Midnight's Children is a journey at once sweeping in scope and yet intimate in tone. Hopeful, comic and magical – the film conjures images and characters as rich and unforgettable as India herself.
"Both dreamy and dramatic, a fascinating view of Indian history seen through the prism of a personal – and occasionally twinned – story.” –Marshall Fine, Huffington Post
