Pursuing a narrative of appropriation of natural resources and externalization of ecological impacts, the project locates coal as the core element of conflict driven by developments taking place in northern Colombia and the United Kingdom. Through focusing on the historical value of this cheap resource, and by creatively engaging with current networks and infrastructure of coal mining and energy use, this on-going project explores trade routes, colonial and capitalists enterprises, natural depletion, and other issues relating to the continuous extraction and use of this polluting combustible. Tracing the violence embedded in industrial processes from opencast coal mining in South America to fossil combustion for power generation in Europe, the project proposes a narrative of contradictions by questioning the geopolitics of the centre\/periphery debate, which currently unfolds in the midst of a global context that aims to converge efforts to accelerate the urgent transition to a post-carbon society.\n\nMapping coal comprises photographs, texts, maps and archival material.","space":"Mapping coal can be accommodated to a variety of exhibition settings. The project can be exhibited either in a traditional exhibition space or through more experimental formats. Due to its characteristics of being mostly a 2D project comprised of visual material (photographs, texts, maps, etc.), mapping coal has the plasticity to adapt to a diverse variety of formats, media and dimensions. Ideally, the project should be exhibited in printed format but can be adapted to digital means if required.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"es","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Nelson","surname":"Guzm\u00e1n Avellaneda","email":"guzmanaga@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"AN470436","address":"161 Abbeyfield Road, Flat B, London, SE16 2BS","city":"London","nacionality":"Colombian","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1981-03-29T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1981-03-29T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"07500520156","web":"www.nelsonguzman.com","fileCount":10}
