The Dikeou Collection

The American Penny, One Cent (1793-2025)

"It’s almost never there now . . . much of coin, cash, scratch, moola, flow. It seems antiquated, gone. But there used to be whole dishes/containers designed for men with valets to empty their pockets into, leaving the days’ change liberated, until dress began again the next day. I loved these recepticles, and my father’s was open season, for the taking . . . It was called “the tray”, and he had lots of it—petty cash—and it never seemed empty . . . It was my segue to candy heaven. Hope it’s not empty, or in between changes.”

What started as one visitor’s spontaneous piggy doodle on a paper plate in Devon Dikeou’s “One Little Piggy Ate Roast Beef, One Little Piggy Had None” (1991 Ongoing) performance installation is now an ever-growing participant-driven initiative of sketches and musings about pigs, food, consumption, the service industry, pop culture, semiotics, and audience response. Dikeou’s work has a deep history of collaboration with fellow artists and art viewers alike, and this unprompted drawing series is very much in line with the openness Dikeou imbues in her practice.
