Summer Camp / El Polell 2019


_

This is the release page of the outcome of the 9 days workshop "Audiotalaia Summer Camp" held at El Polell, Sant Esteve de Palautordera, Montseny, Catalunya. between the 12th and the 21st of July 2019. The works are the result of various exercises proposed by Edu Comelles and the outcome is the what remained of different collective processes taking place within various groups of participants at the Summer Camp. 

Very short premises where stablished for the exercises giving a big amount of creative freedom and the right amount of constriction. Final presentations open to the public are also featured in this album. These are works done collectively and without creative or technical restrictions.
