They initiate projects, individually or together, and depending on the nature of the project, they involve other artists. The projects of By the way take place at different locations and mostly abroad. The projects involve a working period and a presentation and usually it brings artists together from different disciplines. All the projects include travelling, not necessarily far, but the location will always be "new" for the participating artists. BY THE WAY IN HILTON / 1995 A working period and presentation on the parking lot of the Hilton Hotel, with the car as a starting point for an exhibition. A/C DE LUXE / 1997 A project of Elspeth Diederix and Jeroen Kooijmans i.c.w. three Dutch artists of the ICCD (International Centre for Cultural Development) in Trivandrum India.

OFF THE ROAD / 1997 The project took place in 'Under Dubbelsbro', Copenhagen. An industrial building between rail roads and highways close to the centre of Copenhagen.

GATEWAY TO THE ARCTIC / 1998 A group of artists made work, while travelling to the north of Norway. Their work was presented in the Tromsĝ Art Society.
