• The Clairvoyants Christmas

  <p>America’s Got Talent finalists and World Champions of Mentalism, The Clairvoyants, are thrilled to announce their 2019 US Christmas Tour. The holiday-themed show will feature illusions performed by the duo that will be sure to get audiences in the Christmas spirit.</p><p>“We cannot wait to celebrate the most magical time of the year with our audience,” Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass shared. “We will spend an unforgettable evening together. Get ready to experience the miracle of Christmas in your hearts and minds.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When Amélie van Tass and Thommy Ten met in October 2011, they began to develop their "second sight" act, and two months later brought it on stage for the first time. Within a year, they had developed a full length show. Shortly thereafter, they started touring Europe.</p><p>In 2014, they received their first long term contract in America. After a six month run in the show "The Illusionarium," they were offered a featured spot in the largest touring magic show in the world, “The Illusionists.”</p><p>In 2016, they decided to take part in the biggest talent show in the world, “America’s Got Talent.” After four months, six different performances and over 100,000 contestants, America voted them second place. In October 2016, they appeared, together with winner Grace Vanderwaal, at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. More recently, in early 2019, they were personally invited to compete in the AGT spinoff, America’s Got Talent: The Champions, wowing the judges with every performance. Being part of not one, but two highly successful TV shows has been another major step in the evolution of their career.</p><p>A highlight of their career was the opportunity to perform their show at the Sydney Opera House. In winter 2016, they experienced another career highlight, headlining the show “The Illusionists - Turn of the Century” in the Palace Theatre in New York City, on Broadway. The show was the best selling magic show in Broadway history.</p><p>Van Tass and Ten were awarded “The German Champions of Mentalism,” “Magicians of the Year 2015,” and, also in 2015, were enthusiastically chosen as the “World Champions of Mentalism,” a prize that hasn't been awarded in 30 years.</p><p>In April 2017, the Academy of Magical Arts and The Magic Castle Hollywood awarded Thommy Ten &amp; Amélie van Tass "Stage Magicians of the Year 2016" for their extraordinary art.</p><p>Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass continue to appear with their full length show in America and Europe and perform for corporate events worldwide. In beginning of 2019, they appeared twice on NBC's new show America's Got Talent: The Champions.</p>

• Up All Night: The Art of the Dark

  <p>From Renaissance artists painting images of the Nativity to 18th century artists depicting new scientific discoveries to Post-Impressionist painters such as Van Gogh turning the night sky into a mesmeric swirl of brush strokes, the night has been inspiring artists for hundreds of years. The dark can symbolize many things in art: mystery, solitude, fear, superstition, secrets, or death. The striking juxtaposition of light against the night may represent hope, discovery, magic, the evidence of a divine presence, or other forms of literal “enlightenment.” Historically, night scenes were a chance for artists to show off their mastery of painting light effects. Moonlight, candles, and later, electric lights against the dark added drama to the scene. <em>Up All Night&nbsp;</em>celebrates the night scenes in the CRMA’s collection: Grant Wood’s evocative Quaker Oats, Marvin Cone’s charming Christmas cards, M.C. Escher’s tesselated <em>Day into Night</em>, amongst others. Enjoy the look at one of art history’s oldest ways of infusing drama into art.</p> 2019-10-17 16:00:00 -0500

• Noah Doely and T.J. Dedeaux-Norris

  <p>Opening Reception and Gallery Talks:</p><p>October 19th 5-7pm</p><p><br></p><p>Fall 2019 Kocher Visiting Artist Noah Doely creates cyanotypes, which are photographic images using a process that dates from the mid-1800s. According to Doely, “The Prussian blue inherent to the cyanotype process subverts, enhances, camouflages or otherwise alters how the images’ content is perceived.” A current Iowa Arts Council Fellow, Doely is fascinated by science and mythology and how they interplay with art. This exhibition and Doely’s visiting artist appointment at Coe is generously funded by the Robert and Joan Kocher Visual Arts Endowment.&nbsp;</p><p>T.J. Dedeaux-Norris works in a variety of media, including paintings, performance and film, to explore the “invisibility of blackness in cultural forms built upon the appropriation of popular and sacred black expressions and idioms.” Born in Guam, Dedeaux-Norris received her B.A. from UCLA and her MFA from Yale University. Also known as Tameka Norris, she is a 2017 grant recipient from the National Endowment for the Arts. Her exhibition is funded in part by the Mabel Cherry Lutgerding Endowment.</p> 2019-09-12 18:00:00 -0500

• Up All Night: The Art of the Dark

  <p>From Renaissance artists painting images of the Nativity to 18th century artists depicting new scientific discoveries to Post-Impressionist painters such as Van Gogh turning the night sky into a mesmeric swirl of brush strokes, the night has been inspiring artists for hundreds of years. The dark can symbolize many things in art: mystery, solitude, fear, superstition, secrets, or death. The striking juxtaposition of light against the night may represent hope, discovery, magic, the evidence of a divine presence, or other forms of literal “enlightenment.” Historically, night scenes were a chance for artists to show off their mastery of painting light effects. Moonlight, candles, and later, electric lights against the dark added drama to the scene. <em>Up All Night&nbsp;</em>celebrates the night scenes in the CRMA’s collection: Grant Wood’s evocative Quaker Oats, Marvin Cone’s charming Christmas cards, M.C. Escher’s tesselated <em>Day into Night</em>, amongst others. Enjoy the look at one of art history’s oldest ways of infusing drama into art.</p><p><br></p> 2019-10-22 16:00:00 -0500

  <p>Opening Reception and Gallery Talks:</p><p>October 19th 5-7pm</p><p><br></p><p>Fall 2019 Kocher Visiting Artist Noah Doely creates cyanotypes, which are photographic images using a process that dates from the mid-1800s. According to Doely, “The Prussian blue inherent to the cyanotype process subverts, enhances, camouflages or otherwise alters how the images’ content is perceived.” A current Iowa Arts Council Fellow, Doely is fascinated by science and mythology and how they interplay with art. This exhibition and Doely’s visiting artist appointment at Coe is generously funded by the Robert and Joan Kocher Visual Arts Endowment.&nbsp;</p><p>T.J. Dedeaux-Norris works in a variety of media, including paintings, performance and film, to explore the “invisibility of blackness in cultural forms built upon the appropriation of popular and sacred black expressions and idioms.” Born in Guam, Dedeaux-Norris received her B.A. from UCLA and her MFA from Yale University. Also known as Tameka Norris, she is a 2017 grant recipient from the National Endowment for the Arts. Her exhibition is funded in part by the Mabel Cherry Lutgerding Endowment.</p> 2019-10-22 18:00:00 -0500
