Lo Pati, Centre d’Art de les Terres de l’Ebre. Based in Amposta, Lo Pati aims to be the catalyzing node of initiatives and projects linked to visual arts produced in the areas of Montsià, Baix Ebre, Ribera d’Ebre and Terra Alta. The functions of the centre include programmes of dissemination, training, production, compilation and archiving, as part of the Visual Arts Centres Network of Catalonia. The singularity of the project revolves around the relationship between art and nature. The emphasis on the value of the natural context as characteristic component of the territory where it is located and the complicity and the physical proximity to the Museu de les Terres de l’Ebre are the point of departure for lines of work and partnerships that further support this approach.
LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial is an open platform for the research, production, dissemination and interpretation of new cultural forms, which result from the creative use of new technologies.
Inaugurated on March 30, 2007, the Centre is located in Gijón (Principado de Asturias), within the facilities of the former Universidad Laboral, currently Ciudad de la Cultura.
LABoral provides the cultural sector with its Production Centre, Plataforma 0, for producing projects which are halfway between art, science and new technologies with the aim of fostering the execution or art proposals and their introduction in the professional circuits.
The Sound LAB of LABoral aims to foster and provide technical and creative support to contemporary art practices related with sound, through three lines of action: production, research and education.
