In addition to the exhibitions’ opening show, several events will be taking place in Rossinière during the summer of 2011: meetings with the artists, guided visits and round tables. HIGH ALTITUDE will thus gather together specialists in images, historians, sociologists, and critics to discuss the mountain, its transformations and its representations.
