In Conversation with Pierre Chevalier

In Conversation with Pierre Chevalier, Curator of Lucien Hervé: When do we cast off for happiness?

Join us for words from Pierre Chevalier, the Curator of Lucien Hervé: When do we cast off for happiness?
Hungarian born Lucien Hervé was a master of architectural photography. Pierre will guide us through the exhibition and the three major creative personalities of the 20th century photographed by Hervé: Le Corbusier, father of modern architecture, Niemeyer, sculptor of monuments, and Matisse working on his last masterpiece, the ‘Chapelle de Vence’.

The exhibition’s Curator Pierre Chevalier was at first an architect, and then the director of the ‘galerie du jour – agnès b.’ until moving to Australia in the late 90’s. Since then, he has shown international artists such as Claude Leveque in his mobile gallery – the trailor project – and has worked as an independent curator in Sydney and Melbourne. His shows have included ‘Magicians of the Sea’ and ‘Crime and Corruption’ at the Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney, Claude Leveque in Art Space, Sydney, and ‘Surfing Australia”, Australian Embassy in Paris. In 2014, he opened a gallery in the Clarence Valley, focusing on photography. He now lives in Mullumbimby and is currently restoring his mobile gallery for upcoming projects.
