Through the history of the Cairn, this work looks back on more than twenty years of contemporary art in the Digne region.
Archival images, critical texts and interviews with Nadine Gomez-Passamar, its founder, examine the challenges of an art center established in a rural context.
The relationships established between art, nature and science, on which the identity of the Cairn is based, have nourished the approach of many artists.
Their encounter with the natural spaces, inhabited or deserted, that cover the Haute-Provence Geopark, has sparked all sorts of investigations, going beyond the conventional idea of "art in nature." Calling on those who participated in this adventure, this publication testifies to the territorial anchoring from which the singularity, critical force and inventiveness of the Cairn stem.
