Five films from the hugely popular sci-fi franchise. In 'The Fly'
(1958), a scientist (David Hedison) is obsessed with developing a
molecular matter transmitter. When he attempts to test the
invention himself, he is unwittingly joined by a companion - a fly
that has sneaked into the transportation pod with him. The
consequences of the experiment soon become clear, as the scientist
begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'Return of the Fly'
(1959) sees the original scientist's son reconstructing the matter
transporter which turned his father into an insect, with the young
man's experiments leading him down the same insectoid path. In
'Curse of the Fly' (1965) the plot again revolves around the
Delambre family, although this time it is the scientist's grandson,
Henri Delambre (Brian Donlevy), who becomes obsessed with
transporter experiments to the dismay of his two sons, who want to
live normal lives and forget about their grandfather's invention.
Henri's oldest son, Martin (George Baker), marries a young woman
who just escaped from a mental hospital. After Martin's new wife
discovers a closet filled with deranged humans left over from
failed teleportation experiments, the police are called and Henri
attempts to flee using the infamous transporter. 'The Fly' (1986)
is the Oscar-winning remake of the 1958 horror classic. Scientist
Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), experimenting with transmitting
matter uses himself as a guinea-pig, unaware that a fly has got
into the machinery. As he embarks on a relationship with Veronica
Quaife (Geena Davis), the journalist covering his project, his body
slowly begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'The Fly 2'
(1989) is the sequel to the 1986 movie. Dr Seth Brundle is no more,
but he has left behind a gruesome legacy: the teleportation device
which transformed him into a human fly, and a son, Martin (Matthew
Moore/Harley Cross). Infected with his father's insect metabolism,
Martin's growth is hugely accelerated, and he is soon a fully grown
man (Eric Stoltz). When he discovers the remains of his father's
experiment, Martin decides to pick up where Seth left off.
El Rancho de las Golondrinas (The Ranch of the Swallows), a Spanish
Colonial living history museum located in La Cienega, just south of
Santa Fe, New Mexico, has enchanted and educated visitors with its
natural beauty, annual festivals, and special events since its
establishment as a museum in 1972. Drawing from archival materials,
contemporary research, and family records, Padilla reconstructs the
early history of Las Golondrinas from its beginnings to its
purchase by the Curtin family and its establishment by the
Curtin-Paloheimo family as a museum dedicated to preserving the
history and culture of Spanish Colonial New Mexico.

Through photographs and interviews, this book is an extraordinarily
intimate glimpse into the creative spaces and minds of fifty-two
New Mexico artists whose work environments are as varied as the
artwork produced in them. Among those represented are contemporary
painters, sculptors, printmakers, ceramic and textile artists,
video and conceptual artists living in the art capitals of Taos and
New Mexico and in many remote locales throughout the state. These
artist studios defy generalisation, and the interview-based
portraits and photographs document a range of creative approaches,
both practical and aesthetic, that these artists bring to the task
of organising and inhabiting their creative spaces. Influential
Santa Fe artist Eliseo Rodriguez was born eighty years ago in a
house on Canyon Road, in Santa Fe's historic art district. He and
his family 'hand-dug' what became a two-room adobe studio, since
expanded to thirteen. He believes he has painted in every one of
the rooms. Taos painter Earl Stroh has a cabinet with eighteen
narrow drawers holding pastels organised by colour -- a legacy from
his tutor and friend Andrew Dasburg. restored Victorian hotel in
Belen. Chicago's studio is an old parlour, stripped down and
painted white. For Agnes Martin, balance is found in a small Taos
studio, her third New Mexico art space. At 91, in three and a half
hours of painting a day, she continues to paint the way she sees.
