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”.

Famous quotes containing the words lecture and/or series:
“I could lecture on dry oak leaves; I could, but who would hear me? If I were to try it on any large audience, I fear it would be no gain to them, and a positive loss to me. I should have behaved rudely toward my rustling friends.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every day the fat woman dies a series of small deaths.”
—Shelley Bovey, U.S. author. Being Fat Is Not a Sin, ch. 1 (1989)
