The Dikeou Collection will be continuing Summertime at the Dikeou Pop-up: Colfax, every Friday until the end of October from 3-9pm. Come by to see the work of Lizzi Bougatsos and to catch Hot Congress Collective DJs at 6pm, spinning selections from our extensive Vinyl Archive. This event is open to the public and light refreshments will be served.
Set will range from psych-rock, Brit-pop, and 70’s ephemera to Motown Soul and R&B, and cuts from rare finds such as a disco-inspired Lord of Rings soundtrack. Hot Congress DJ also hosts “Savage Night” every Wednesday evening at Denver’s original Rockabilly hangout, The Skylark Lounge.
Intentionally provocative, Lizzi Bougatsos’ work solicits an emotional reaction and quite often that reaction is a smile. Her work is described as having “…a sort of girlish, bitchy glee, and as irreverent and unpredictable. However, Bougatsos’ recent work is shifting to reflect a shift in consciousness she anticipates for culture” (Dalamangas, ZINGCHAT).
Bougatsos has exhibited at James Fuentes, Artpace San Antonio, American Fine Arts, Kenny Schachter Contemporary, and Reena Spauldings. Lizzi has performed at the Whitney Museum, and MoMA PS1. She is the front woman of Gang Gang Dance, a Brooklyn-based experimental band and is currently recording an album with IUD at MoMA NYC.
