Feel “Free” and “Easy” at Villa Oxygene
CANNES , France -- 23 May 2013
Feel “Free” and “Easy” at Villa Oxygene
Priska Medam at Artisan Festival International Cannes
by Dr. Barbara Aust-Wegemund, Art Historian
Artisan Festival International
World Peace Initiative, Cannes 2013
Villa Oxygene
Opening – Thursday, May 23, 6 - 10 PM
Artisan Festival International World Peace Initiative is supporting
cultural diversity and peace, represented by independent artists exhibit
their works featuring Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Film, Fashion,
Music and Theatre. The festival takes place during Cannes Film
Festival at the luxury private Villa of Richard Nilsson. The lifestyle
designer Richard Nilsson names the location “Villa Oxygene” due to his
partnership with the Jackson Family and Jackson Foundation. Villa
Oxygene is situated in Super-Cannes, an elegant residential area, just 10
minutes distance from La Croisette Cannes. The show is curated by
Thomas Maes and A.F.I./ W.P.I. Founder Princess Angelique Monét.
“Bringing individuals together with films, not necessarily peace related or humanitarian, even risqué films,
which creates more of a conflict resolution dialogue, is the best way to involve people and generate
enthusiasm for others. With this being said, peace relations can only begin by individuals expressing
themselves. In order to obtain peace, we must remember that exposing ourselves to new aspects of the
human experience creates inner change, which is permanent and resonates to others around us, even on a
subtle level,” stated Festival Founder and Director Princess Angelique Monét.
Some of this year’s highlights include artworks on canvas by Priska Medam. Just the artworks on canvas
titled “Free” and “Easy” invites the art lover to discuss about it. The Swiss artist Priska Medam looks full
of joy in the future: "I`m pleased that the jury has chosen my work to show it at the Artisan Festival
International in Cannes. So I feel a certain satisfaction that after so many years of hard work and passion,
I come along with it step by step.” The curators Thomas Maes and Princess Angelique Monét decided for
Priska’s work, because it fits perfectly to the World Peace Initiative to stimulate an open dialogue
between artwork and visitor.
Priska Medam, born in Basel/ Switzerland, created a series of works involved in the magic cosmos of life.
Similar to nature her work reflects processes of forming, growth and change, becoming and passing away.
Graphic elements, shapes and colors are playing a relationship between background and foreground,
silence and movement. Her inexhaustible source is the human life. As a sensitive artist she always
observes her environment and creates new ideas full of passion. Colors and forms arise from her inner
circle. Priska Medam is fascinated by art that is engaging the people. Her works represent both day
dreams and apparent paradoxes at the same time.

initiator of extraordinary happenings centered in the City District.
Dealing with innovative concepts for integrating successful arts
precincts, museums and institutions, as well as established collector-
focussed program, the art fair promises that 2015 continues a successful
story.
Long-established as the original incubator for emerging work, Zurich’s
art event celebrates its seventeen’s year of introducing new galleries to
the contemporary market, a remarkable opportunity for exposure
Galerie Zum Harnisch. The Gallery’s Director and Swiss Chiefcurator
Priska Medam is featuring emerging and mid-career artists in Zurich:

Medam explains the concept of her curated show: “Techniques and
artistique signatures are different and for each artist unique. The
selected works at my booth are showing how various approaches and
how dynamism, movement and perception experiments have entered
the artistic topography. The eye as the human organ of sight became an
artistic tool for investigating reality and learning about perception as
well as investigating illusion and disillusion.”

curators, museum directors and interior designers, providing an intimate
look at some of the most important works at the forefront of the
international contemporary art movement.
The art fair opens to VIPs and Press on Thursday, October 15, 6 – 10
