A LABoral project, coordinated by José Manuel Costa in collaboration with Juanjo Palacios. Within the framework of the project Learning from the Basins, curated by Nacho Ruiz Allén and Sara López Arraiza, from Zon-e Arquitectos and co-produced by LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial and Sabadell-Herrero.
Learning from the Basinsis a research project on the cultural landscape of the Asturian Mining Basins that proposes a sensitive recovery of these places and seeks to overcome the traditionally maligned image of this industrial area of Asturias where the concentration of mining and steel activity brought with it the coexistence of 4 landscapes: natural, rural, industrial and urban.
The mine and its sound is a sound approach to these 4 types of landscape, using as a starting point 4 of the mutant artifacts selected by the curators of the project and collecting different research approaches: aurality of the spaces themselves, oral testimony of users or visitors to those spaces.
The four collaborating artists of La Mina and its sound are: Edu Comelles, Pozo Sotón, San Martín del Rey Aurelio; Óscar de Ávila, Pozu Espinos, Turón; Mind Revolution, Pozo Candín, La Felguera and Daniel Romero, Pozo San Fernando, Orillés.
As part of this project, a mixtape contest is proposed, made with the recordings made available to the artists at:
