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). The Bureau comprises Victoria Stanton, José Cortés, and Stacey Cann. Shortly after the making of this video, new members were hired: Po B. K. Lomami, as Bureaucrat, and Daniel Fiset, as Director of Curatorial Affairs.
