Between 1988 and 1989 Divo worked in West Berlin. After the fall of the
Berlin Wall in 1989, he moved to East Berlin, where he organized exhibitions at the
Kunst Haus Tacheles. Between 1990 and 1994 he organized exhibitions, performances, and murals with the Duncker group. In 1994 he moved back to Zürich where he created a number of murals and organised a group of travelling mural painters. There he organised several underground art projects funded by the Swiss government, including exhibitions/events in the subways of
Escherwyssplatz. In 1995, he organised a festival of underground art. Amongst the artists who exhibited were Swiss artist
Ingo Giezendanner, German artist
Leumund Cult and British artist
Lennie Lee. In the winter of 2002, he
occupied the
Cabaret Voltaire with different artists including
Dan Jones. Together they succeeded in preventing the location's closure. The building has now been turned into a museum dedicated to Dada (Cabaret Voltaire). In 2003 he organised a Dada festival at the
Sihlpapierfabrik. In 2004, Divo was awarded a one year art residency at the
Swiss Institute Contemporary Art New York in West Broadway, New York, where he invited artists to exhibit alongside him. In the summer of 2008, he established the
Divo Institute, a multi-disciplinary arts center in the city of Kolín, near Prague. In August 2009, Divo was one of thirty artist-curators who presented work by artists from the Divo Institute at the Subvision Art Festival in
Hamburg. Since becoming an artist, Divo has exhibited in museums throughout Europe including the
Helmhaus, Zürich, the
Contemporary Art Center, Vilnius, the
Kunsthaus Zürich and the
Kinský Palace, Prague. He has created three public sculptures for the city of Zürich. Since 2002, working in collaboration with artists, performers and photographers, Divo has produced a series of large-format satirical photographs. ==References==
