Come and have a beer or a soda with the three artists of the Bureau of Noncompetitive Research and learn more about their collective and individual practices as artists and pedagogues at this casual talk. The event will take place within the installation untitled (skip the bruising...) (2017) by Rirkrit Tiravanija.

This artist talk is part of The Bureau of Noncompetitive Research, a public engagement project by the collective of the same name. This project is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Rirkrit Tiravanija: JOUEZ/PLAY.

The event will take place in French and in English.

Biographies

The Bureau of Noncompetitive Research is a group of artists and researchers who explore how slow philosophy, dialogue, collaboration, pedagogy, and public space intersect. Founded in 2021, the Bureau has taken on academic and artistic projects, namely Slowness and the Institution (2021), Pedagogy and Time (2022), and Giving Nothing (2023). In this iteration, the Bureau comprises Victoria Stanton, José Cortés, and Stacey Cann.

Stacey Cann is a performance artist and researcher interested in ideas of work, endurance, and collaboration.

José Cortés is a transdisciplinary artist whose work juxtaposes value and mundane matters in multimedia, public space, and pedagogic projects.

Victoria Stanton is an undisciplined performance artist whose infiltrating/relational works explore the role of rest, pause, and liminal space in artistic processes.
