Los sonidos agrícolas del pasado vasco en el entorno urbano

Abstract

This paper wants to show an experimental participative artistic practice which was done between 2016 and 2018 where a traditional object called txalaparta was shown in relation to a particular space. Two stagings involving the same object in different locations. In one of them, the object is well known whereas in the other, remains unknown. Inside those spaces, a link is created between the artist and the spectator, where the visualization of a systematic adaptation of the object, which is changed to a ceramic material, combines with the urban environment. The attention of any spectator is taken becoming them participants of a process of aesthetic reception inside relation circles where artist’s place is swapped with the position of the audience. Those ancient Basque sounds are interpreted as an urban musical experience which is transformed in fundamental and dynamic, generating changes in the attitude of people from different places and cultural contrast.
