The Bureau of Noncompetitive Research in Residence at PHI

The Bureau of Noncompetitive Research and the PHI Foundation Present: The Bureau of Noncompetitive Research

November 3, 2023 – March 10, 2024
Fondation PHI
465, rue Saint-Jean
Montréal, H2Y 2R5

I’m excited to announce that The Bureau of Noncompetitive Research (Stacey Cann, José Cortés and myself), will be taking up residence in the Education room at the Fondation PHI for their Public Engagement program, in conjunction with the Rirkrit Tiravanija exhibition JOUEZ/PLAY. In parallel with the exhibition, The BNCR have created an office; an evolving performative installation (and ongoing life/art performance) that considers relationships between work, rest and (un)productivity as related to labour, pedagogy, and slow philosophy.

Opening November 3rd, we’ll be in residence until March 10th, with regular working hours in the office, and special events happening throughout the tenure of our project. The office will also double as a “co-working” space, for anyone who wants to come hangout/nap/work/eat snacks while we’re there, during “office hours.”
