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)
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
