| **Boucalais is a mobile studio:** Boucalais is a walking trail from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Dunkirk via Calais which Various Artists has travelled several times a year for seven years. The trail is a studio where a number of VA revise their work or where new work is created. The creations are poetic expressions on the road, as it were, and which - given the mobile context - are necessarily on a small scale or 'light'. 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'. | **Boucalais is a mobile studio:** Boucalais is a walking trail from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Dunkirk via Calais which Various Artists has travelled several times a year for seven years.

| **Boucalais is a format or work method:** Boucalais started in 2005 as a fixed walking trail, and grew over the years to a format, a state of mind inviting the VA to develop, revise and/or renew their work methods and preconceptions. The walking format challenges the artist's production mechanisms, and makes room for another interpretation of what constitutes artistic work. At times, the work is no more than a distinctive mark or a trace on the trail. The VA are thus continuously led to adapt their idea of creation and constantly develop different work methods. | **Boucalais is a format or work method:** Boucalais started in 2005 as a fixed walking trail, and grew over the years to a format, a state of mind inviting the VA to develop, revise and/or renew their work methods and preconceptions.
