La Station - Gare des Mines, founded on the remains of a disused coal station at Porte d'Aubervilliers, is home to the effervescent musical, artistic and cultural margins of the time, and houses a constellation of initiatives by established artists and inspired neighbors. Since its opening, La Station - Gare des Mines has been a venue for dissemination, creation and residency, and since 2016 has offered a resolutely heterogeneous program, nourished by the incessant upheavals of emerging and contemporary artistic practices.

La Station - Gare des Mines is run by Collectif MU, an artistic production company set up in 2002 by a team of Fresnoy graduates specializing in sound art, music and new media.
