3 Questions with Artist Brian Taaffe
Taos Pueblo artist and recent Institute of American Indian Arts BFA grad Brian Taaffe says he’s always been at least a little obsessed with the architecture of his hometown. Not only is the Pueblo itself a UNESCO World Heritage site, its iconic lines are well-known to pretty much any Northern New Mexican. As such, representing Taos has become Taaffe’s bread and butter as a painter and printmaker. His obsession served him well in updating, for the first time in a decade, the columns adorning the portal at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. Taaffe, along with Eliza Naranjo Morse, Heidi K Brandow, Robin Tsinajinnie, Topaz Jones and Haley Greenfeather English, will unveil his newest work during Indian Market this weekend. He’ll also kick off a pop-up shop inside the museum throughout the weekend, and speak during an artist talk at MoCNA (3 pm Saturday, Aug. 17. Free. 108 Cathedral Place, (505) 983-8900). We spoke with Taaffe to learn more. This interview has been edited for clarity and concision. (Alex De Vore)

Santa Fe Reporter Announces New Ownership
For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Santa Fe Reporter is under new ownership. Ctrl+P Publishing, which also runs The Paper in Albuquerque, City Desk ABQ, the Corrales Comment, Sandoval Signpost and The Independent out of Edgewood now operates SFR as well. Ctrl+P is only the Reporter’s fourth owner in its 50-year history. Richard Meeker and Mark Zusman, publisher and editor of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Willamette Week in Portland, Oregon, bought the paper from Hope Aldrich in 1997, who bought the paper from its original owners, the late Richard McCord and his then-wife Laurie Knowles. Ctrl+P President and Publisher Pat Davis, a former Albuquerque city councilor, will become SFR’s publisher. “Unlike the other papers that we’ve picked up, the Santa Fe Reporter is a 50-year institution, and it is really important to me that it gets to have another generation serving Santa Fe,” Davis says. Meeker notes that several interested parties approached him after the sale was announced in the spring, but only Davis appeared to have the same understanding of and commitment to the Reporter’s brand of journalism. “I’m comfortable saying we’re leaving the Reporter in far better shape than we found it, and I’m thrilled we’ve found the person to take the helm of this civic treasure,” Meeker says.
