The Phoenicia Hotel Beirut is happy to announce that Rebecca Russo, President of the Videoinsight® Foundation, has selected Mario Daou’s “Northern Lights” video as the Winner for Video Art III: Free Your Mind.
All Art Works will be exhibited in a special Art Show at the Videoinsight® Foundation in Spring 2018.
Following is the conclusion from Rebecca Russo for each video Art Work.
Mario Daou – “Northern Lights” 2017
RR : “It contains a lot of energy, motion, power. The amount of colours is explosive. The artwork shows one shot the Life, the Science, the Art. It transmits happiness, joy, cheerfulness. It is amazing, chromo therapeutic, magic.”
Elie Fahed – “How Does It Feel To Miss Someone” 2017
RR : “It’s a performative work. It touches the soul, activates the reflection, promotes identification, and involves the spectator. It has a rushing rhythm. It’s powerful, gorgeous.”
Loukman Nassredine – “Suppression” 2017
RR : “It’s so psychoanalytic; it deeply represents the memory process, the amnesia, the forgetfulness, the elaboration of the loss, the unconscious removal. It has a very high Videoinsight® Impact; it’s perfect for Art Therapy applying the Videoinsight® Method. Everybody needs to remove something.”
Jeroen Kramer – “Untitled 305” 2017
RR : “It is very poetic, romantic, pictorial, and meditative. The black and white choice is original, the technique is sophisticated.”
Mamad Mossadegh – “The Breeze” 2016
RR : “It’s very delicate, fresh, and light. It promotes the meditation, the relaxation. It raises the pain, opens the hearth, and stimulates the Well-being.”
For its third successful year, Phoenicia Hotel is continuing to support the arts through the launch of VIDEO ART PROJET III: “FREE YOUR MIND” on September 21th 2017, in collaboration with Rebecca Russo, President of Videoinsight® Foundation. This new exhibition of five pieces of contemporary video art is being held in the Phoenicia lobby and is open to the general public. Guests of the Phoenicia have the added luxury of being able to view a comprehensive selection of video art from the Videoinsight® Foundation via the exclusive dedicated Video Art channel available complimentary in all rooms. VIDEO ART PROJECT III: FREE YOUR MIND features new art works from a competition run by Phoenicia Hotel and the Videoinsight® Foundation, and seeks to inspire and encourage local artists in Lebanon in the future. The competition winner will be announced beginning of October and will have their video work showcased at the Videoinsight® Foundation in Italy, as well as receiving a weekend stay at the Phoenicia. Artists interested in taking part in future competitions are invited to email videoart@phoeniciabeirut.com. VIDEO ART PROJECT III: “FREE YOUR MIND” is a continuation of Videoinsight® Foundation’s vision and commitment to Video Art, exhibiting the results from the previous competition, and further enhances the Phoenicia’s reputation as an art hotel that not only features many world-class works throughout its premises, but also seeks to support artists in Lebanon and the region.

Lecture by Rebecca Russo, Italian Art Collector, Philanthropist, Maecenas, Psychotherapist, Scientific Researcher, President of Videoinsight® Foundation.
Rebecca Russo’s patented Videoinsight® Method, based on the healing power of selected contemporary art works, has been used in clinical psychology and psychotherapy, as well as medical treatment of patients.
Rebecca Russo is Honorary Member of the Judges Board for the Phoenicia Hotel Art Photo (PHAP) Competition.
Building once again on its established reputation as an Art Hotel and supporter of artistic talent, the Phoenicia Hotel announces the launch of the Phoenicia Hotel Art Photo (PHAP) competition.
This initiative invites one artist per month to enjoy complimentary room and board for a night at the Phoenicia Hotel and to create a work of art using the medium of photography during the experience. Participating artists will compete for a grand prize of USD 5,000, which comes with a quirky twist: the prize money will be increased by the same amount in dollars as the room number allocated to the winning artist during their stay.
Judging of the 12 pieces of photo art will take place at the end of each year and will be followed by an exhibition of the works.
A limited edition of five prints of each of the 12 works will be made available for sale during the exhibition, with part of the proceeds going to the photographers and part to charities of their choice.
For info visit www.p-h-a-p.com or email us on info@p-h-a-p.com
One photographer per month is invited to the Phoenicia Hotel to produce one Art Photo during a one-night stay.
An annual exhibition, displaying all 12 Art Photos, will be held at the end of the year. A judging panel will announce the winner for the year at the launch of the exhibition.
The Phoenicia Hotel is a place where anything can happen.
It could be magical, romantic, creative, intriguing, inspiring, mysterious… With the click of their fingers, prepare to be enchanted. The captured scene is transformed into art.
The judging panel includes the globally exhibited photographer Roger Moukarzel, Art Collector Tarek Nahas and Rebecca Russo, Art Collector, President of the Videoinsight® Foundation
