Description: 
As part of the preservation of endangered artistic species, Jean Mas proposes to reactivate and rehabilitate the "sandwich man".
Also, sending a nod to André Breton, who in March 1920 presented himself in the same manner for the Festival Dada, Jean Mas wanders "whenever possible" on the so-called promenade "des Anglais”, proposing the promenade "of words! "
"Renting" this support, it will be possible for everyone, for a "small" sum, to have one’s word circulating.
- The chosen route will necessarily pass along the seaside and cannot exceed three hours.
- It will also include a minimum of stops (sitting rest).
- At the rate of one per face, all words are allowed.
- Proper names will be reflected upon.
- For any contact please contact the magazine...
The words stroller: it is attitude Art. With Jean Mas, street art can take pride in this practice.
How about a sandwich-men festival in 2011?!
