This artists’ haven, which Valérie Arboireau and Peter Larsen, the creator of the famous Brancusi notebooks, established, is a true gem of inventiveness, generosity, sharing, and originality at the heart of the city.
Serving as a bed and breakfast for tourists passing through, an exhibition gallery where everything is for sale, and a venue for creating events like the famous mOma open days, the events here are diverse and unique, making this place a grand artistic delight where joy and creativity regularly meet!
Valérie, the mistress of the place, who has made an international name for herself in the art world by adding a pop touch to our dusty crystal chandeliers (www.merrycrystal.com), will offer you insightful advice, chic recycling, striking ambiance, guaranteed charm, and can even deliver one of her performances on request, like her famous painting, a tribute to femininity, a bust composed of approximately 6,000 kisses, with the artist’s lips and a generous amount of lipstick.
You get it: at mOma, beyond the warmth and friendliness that have made this place their kingdom, traditional codes are shaken up, colors are boldly used, objects are repurposed, everything is exhibited and self-expression is encouraged. By appointment, you can even enjoy a coffee or tea with the artists and remake the world, decor-style, while savoring a delicious homemade cake.
As in any respectable artists’ house, this one follows suit and has a piano! A magnificent object where delightful creations are always brewing. As a guest table as well, mOma will skillfully host your receptions, dinners, or birthdays, and when weather permits, you can enjoy the pastel softness of the beautiful flower garden behind the house.
You get it; mOma is an extraordinary place, far from ordinary. And at the start of the year, mOma once again creates an event by hosting a live radio broadcast for the first time, with SENSATIONS Live setting up its microphones for an evening in the heart of the sanctuary. mOma, where the crème of the Nice art scene converges, will no longer hold any secrets from you!
Throughout this exceptional evening, a dozen hand-picked guests will take turns at the microphone with Angélique and Marc. From Peter Larsen (www.peterlarsen.fr) to Valérie Arboireau (www.valeriearboireau.com), you’ll also meet gallery owner Jérémy Strauch (www.galeriesinguliere.com), painter and sculptor Louis Dollé (https://loudolle.free.fr), sound designer Luc Martinez, singer Alexandre Benizeau (www.myspace.com/alexandrebenizeau), the irresistible hairdresser actor Henri Concas (www.bouffscene.com), the delightful singer Carole Nakari (www.myspace.com/carolenakari), artist Anne de Renzis (www.annederenzis.fr), singer Gorodish (www.myspace.com/goroworld), journalist Faustine Sappa and Bertrand Roussel for their book “the Côte d’Azur seen from sex”), Loïc Swiny as part of the D.Form collective and exhibition (www.museaav.com), and plenty of other surprises!
On this exceptional occasion, Angélique and her friends, the “Very Funny Ladies,” will be in disguise, and their accessories will be auctioned at the end of the show in support of charitable associations.
