Dikeou collection

The Dikeou Collection is a Contemporary Art Collection in Downtown Denver that was established in 1998 by siblings, Devon Dikeou and Pany Dikeou. It is free and open to the public.

Operating as an extension of New York publication zingmagazine, the Dikeou Collection features work of approximately 30 international artists. Devon Dikeou is an artist herself, the founder, editor, and publisher of zingmagazine, as well as a collector. Her interest in the platform of exchange between collector, artist, viewing context—museum, collection, gallery, magazine—and viewer engendered her artistic practice, zingmagazine, and the formation of the Dikeou Collection.

In 2003, the Dikeou Collection opened to the public; it is located in the Colorado Building, which dates from the 1800s and still has the original mail chutes, floors and architecture. The first leg of exhibition space featured the work of 10 artists: Rainer Ganahl, Ester Partegas, Juan Eduardo Gomez, Giasco Bertoli, Simon Periton, Vik Muniz, Momoyo Torimitsu, Dan Asher, Lee Stoetzel, Paul Ramirez Jonas. The work of Misaki Kawai, Luis Macias, Jonathan Horowitz, Chris Johanson, Sarah Staton, Wade Guyton, The Royal Art Lodge, and additional works by both Paul Ramirez Jonas, and Lee Stoetzel were added and the space expanded in 2004/5.

In September 2006, the exhibition space again doubled to include seven more artists: Janine Gordon, Lawrence Seward, Tracy Nakayama, Chris Gilmour, Lisa Kereszi, Serge Onnen, and Devon Dikeou herself.

In 2007, the exhibition space further expanded again to include five new artists: Agathe Snow, Margaret Lee, Joshua Smith, Johannes Van Der Beek, a solo sculpture by Drue Langlois (a past member of the Royal Art Lodge), and a lobby installation by Misaki Kawai.
