Lecture Series
In addition, the Dikeou Collection has created an Artist/Collectors/Writers’ Lecture Series. Lee Stoetzel presented two distinctive lectures from different perspectives in the Contemporary Art World: from his perspective as an artist, as well as from his perspective as a curator and collector for the West Collection, a Contemporary Art Collection in Philadelphia. Amy Whitaker, author of the book Museum Legs, gave a special lecture exploring varying perspectives of visiting different art museums, while promoting her new title, Museum Legs. Paul Ramirez Jonas’ Lecture, in turn, inspired a series of evenings of musicians jamming tunes inspired by the work of Ramirez Jonas, particularly the installation, “His Truth is Marching On”, a large “chandelier” with bottles of partially filled with water, which, when tapped sequentially, play the “Battle Hymn of the Republic”.
