    Postcommodity at Museum of Contemporary Native Art

    While driving from Denver back to Santa Fe, I was listening to the Wisconsin Public Radio show, “To The Best of Our Knowledge.” The discussion constellated around national parks, exile, “wilderness,” and specifically the imposed definition, by white people, that “wilderness” ever implied absence of human habitation. Mark Dowie wrote a book on this, Conservation Refugees: The Hundred Year Conflict between Global Conservation and Native Peoples (MIT Press, 2009) — and More …

    Art Review: Jacci Den Hartog at Felsen

    In Esquires “Impossible” special issue, published this August, some of the unachievables they give are licking your elbow, driving under the speed limit, and balancing the federal budget.

    Denver’s Mile High Music Festival: Groovey’s Picks

    The Mile High Music Festival at Dicks Sporting Goods Park in Denver, Colorado this weekend is exactly what it sounds like. A mega two-day festival of 50 bands that at its most extreme might bend the mainstream bubble a bit but theres nobody playing that you would feel uncomfortable bringing your kids to go see — or your sister-in-law with no sense of humor, for that matter. The MHMF festival More …

    Round Mountain’s Windward, NM grown

    In the heart of New Mexicos Pecos Wilderness, Round Mountain rises to a height of 10,700 feet, offering panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the fertile Pecos valley.
