Reading Rämistrasse #35: Mateo Chacon-Pino on the Verbier Art Summit

The 1815 Treaty of Paris declared Switzerland neutral ground between European powers, and in the second half of the 20th century Switzerland extended its contemporary neutral reputation as host of the UN and other NGOs, with the WEF joining the picture in 1971. It is not surprising that this alpine country now hosts two internationalist art summits on the same winter weekend: the Verbier Art Summit (VAS) and E.A.T., the Engadin Art Talks.
