Bureau d'études
Bureau d'études is a French artist group that has researched and mapped structures of political-economic power and capitalism for the past fifteen years, sometimes in collaboration with writer Brian Holmes. Bureau d’études initiated a zone de gratuité in Paris from March 1999 to September 2000, and founded, with Ewen Chardronnet, the newspaper Laboratory Planet. The group now lives and works in the countryside in Saint Menoux, France, where it works on collective projects across agriculture, commons, and cartographic research at Ferme de la Mhotte.
