An artistic project conceived by Jocelyn Cottencin, Just A Walk developed between March 2005 and January 2007, over a shifting geographical zone whose coordinates were Bilbao, San Sebastian, Glasgow, Porto, Lisbon and Rennes. Just A Walk has also generated a web site, working sessions with artists and art professionals, research and experiment, performances and an exhibition.

Like Jocelyn Cottencin's artist undertakings generally, Just A Walk is basically a practice of displacement. It is not a matter of removing something or putting an artist in a residency abroad, but more about the experience of unexpected connections that develop between ideas, works, individuals and structures. All this takes place in a time frame that is flexible enough for Just A Walk to be modulated in accordance with new encounters and projects.

Editing is an integral part of the project, subject multiple-layered, it consists of a series of postcards, a booklet of text Larys Frogier, a booklet about the exhibition and a double DVD containing the entire website and the full set of proposals from various guest artists on the project.
