In 2016, the Collectif MU, an association based in the Goutte d’Or (Paris 18), opened the doors of La Station – Gare des Mines, a disused coal station at the Porte d’Aubervilliers built in the 1950s.
In an organic, rapid and spontaneous way, La Station has organized itself by bringing together a constellation of initiatives, artists, collectives and associations. Since its opening, La Station – Gare des Mines welcomes a plural artistic scene within the same place: concerts, club nights, exhibitions, workshops, projections…
In 2021, La Station – Gare des Mines expands with Station Nord. Station Nord is intended to be a lively place open to all, a place of diffusion, creation and residences welcoming confirmed artists and inspired neighbors.
The Station – Gare des Mines is run by the Collectif MU, an artistic production office created in 2002 by a team from the Fresnoy school and specialized in the fields of sound art, music and new media.
