VIC MUNIZ IN DENVER (from artnet.com)
Artist and Zingmagazine publisher Devon Dikeou doesn’t only hang out at sports events when she visits her hometown of Denver, Colo. - she also organizes exhibitions. Her latest effort in that regard, "Muniz: Remastered," Oct. 4, 2007-Jan. 20, 2008, opens at the Museo de las Américas, Denver’s museum of contemporary Latin American art headed by Patty Ortiz. The show feature’s Muniz’s interpretations of famous works by Corot, Dürer, Rembrandt and other masters in a range of unlikely materials - chocolate, sequins, junk, peanut butter and jelly.
(Acc. to Mr. F., Vik Muniz is "awesome." And according to everyone around here, Ms. Dikeou is our city's most prominent pioneer of art-n-kulture. In a word? Sold.)
