Between 03 and 28 September 2012, Various Artists are opening up their Boucalais walk for others to join. Boucalais can be seen as a portable studio where Various Artists creates on the road. We will be walking from Wimereux (near Boulognes sur Mer) to Calais, France. Every walk will take 2 days and is approximately 50 km. The Boucalais project pays homage to the artist-collector who, in the course of his journey, assembles a collection of objects and observations, which will – sometimes literally – be dragged back to his studio as so many installations and ‘objets trouvés’. At the same time, the work is often intangible and only lives on in documentary form. Since, in the case of VA, the journey is largely equivalent to the studio, this collection of objects, routines and documentation is used as raw material/ oxygen/ basic component for (artistic) creation ‘en route’. Paulo Sudo (VA) will be walking twice a week: Monday-Tuesday, and Thursday-Friday (a total of 8 walks), on each walk two participants can join, and will be able to get under the skin of one or more Various Artists. What we offer: a train-ticket from London, Paris, or Brussels to Calais (and return) a stay in hotel Bellevue in Wissant (half way) Food and drinks (at Chez Hedwige, Le Blanc Nez...) a copy of The Best of - Various Artists a copy of Boucalais.roir (a compilation/publication to be made during the trips) How to apply?
