As the Denver Art Museum's Daniel Liebiskind-designed Frederick Hamilton Wing nears its October 2006 completion date, the exterior titanium skin is slowly being revealed by the removal of the plastic protective sheeting. The Invisible Museum has collected more than 500 sheets of the "Nitto".

Through its "Curator in Residence" program and the use of the Nitto, The Invisible Museum will produce what promises to be one of the premier contemporary art exhibits in the Fall of 2006.

"Unwrapping The Wing" will be an exhibit of the works of 14 national and international artists selected by curator Devon Dikeou. Working in both two and three dimensions, the artists will create works using the Nitto. At the opening event, artworks will be available for purchase and will benefit The Invisible Museum as well as its partner organization, The Spot, a Denver center whose mission is to help at-risk urban youth and adolescents mature into productive adults by providing a safe, supportive nighttime youth center that encourages respect, creativity, education, employment, career and youth development.

The curator, Devon Dikeou, is the editor of zingmagazine www.zingmagazine.com as well as the Director of the Dikeou Collection www.dikeoucollection.org in Denver, Colorado. Ms. Dikeou has selected fourteen national and international artists to participate in the project.

Unwrapping The Wing opens on October 5, 2006 from 6-9pm at 1615 California St. 5th Floor. Tickets may be purchased in advance by mailing a check to The Invisible Museum, P.O. Box 102080 Denver, Colorado, 80250 or by calling 303.295.0903.
