Photograph copyright 2005 by Leo Divendal
art6 Gallery is excited to announce the Leo
Divendal photography exhibit for the month of September, curated by Virginia
Commonwealth University Professor Rob Carter. Mr. Divendal’s work will be on
display throughout the entire gallery, including the corridor leading to the
galleries and the lobby. Leo Divendal was chosen for this exhibition because
he is regarded as one of the most influential and accomplished photographers
in Europe. His work and writing about photography promise to bring
international distinction to Richmond’s cultural community.
Leo Divendal was born in
1947 in Heemstede, The Netherlands. He studied theatre, directing and
teaching in Amsterdam. Since 1994 he has taught photography at the Gerrit
Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. He has shown in numerous group exhibitions
since 1980 in Budapest, Sheffield, Paris, Sesto Fiorentino, Venice, New
York, Amsterdam, Groningen and other cities. Mr. Divendal has exhibited
in solo shows since 1977 in Paris, Ankara, New York and Amsterdam.
His writing includes
several articles on photography for photography magazines, daily journals,
museum catalogues, shows and books. He has curated several exhibitions
with the Spaarnestad Photoarchives in Haarlem, composed and written
catalogues on the work of Kertész and others. He also curated The Fourth
Wall exhibition in 1991 in Amsterdam and published a book composed with
Victor Levie.
Leo Divendal’s work is
collected by Bibiotheque Nationale in Paris, Stedelijke Museum in
Amsterdam, the Prentenkabinet in Leiden and Art Foundation collections in
Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Haarlem. He is presented by Gallery Camera
Obscura, Paris and Van Zoetendal Collections in Amsterdam.
In support of the
Divendal exhibit, art6 Gallery and Virginia Commonwealth University will
