In 2018, the OVNi Festival will take place across the city of Nice, under the mentoring of Jean-Jacques Aillagon while its contemporary-art fair Camera Camera will take place in the rooms of the Windsor Hotel. Conceived as a project of ‘artistic hospitality’, the OVNi Festival federates local actors and invites French and international art structures to exhibit video-art works in hotels, cultural spaces, and other unique venues. At the Windsor Hotel, the exhibiting galleries offer a show in the form of a walk through the rooms, in search of videos and fine-art works. A jury composed of contemporary-art experts presided over by Caroline Bourgeois will reward the best ‘room-project’ and best video-work while the famous French artist Ben will reward his favorite video-work.
Exhibitions, fair, concerts, performances, panel discussions, workshops, will punctuate the festival, favoring exchanges between artists, art-institutions, gallery owners, collectors, and amateurs of video and contemporary-art
