NBC's Phenomenon Mike Super at the Touhill  
What: Mike Super will not only take the stage at the Touhill on Saturday, March 6, he’ll take the entire Anheuser-Busch Performance Hall and turn it into a virtual snow globe. Showtime is 8 p.m. for his St. Louis debut performance. While the audience experiences snow within the theater, Mike Super will devote this “trick” to his mom who loved snow. This is an example of how the 2007 winner of NBC’s Phenomenon connects with his audience. With such connections, enchanting audiences with his personality, humor and spectacular illusions, Super stood out from the Phenomenon competition. And his explanation for the broad appeal is that he creates performances with movies in mind, in the sense they evoke emotion.

Daniel McGrath: What Pictures Want
What: What Pictures Want is an ongoing series of text based paintings based on W.J.T. Mitchell’s hypothesis that pictures must be considered living things that communicate and have desires, as outlined in his essay “What Do Pictures Want?” from 2005. These paintings' desires in short, are to trade places with the beholder turning him or her into an image for the gaze of the picture. A generic font and an anonymous value scale of black and white, both are nearly ubiquitous in our visual landscape today. Zeroing in on some of the more outrageous statements made in these books, each painting conveys a statement in the form of a dryly written vinyl didactic panel.
