For my exhibition “Musée de la Question (Exposition Temporaire), my dear friend Jan Matthé wrote a text for the handout. 🖤 — Happy he let Clarice Lispector whisper the opening: “I’m an amateur and insist on staying that way.”

“In Musée de la Question (Exposition temporaire), Ines Cox presents an exhibition about learning through questioning, copying, repetition, and figuring things out. The exhibition brings together drawings, objects, and learning devices that explore how knowledge circulates through replicas, exercises, and borrowed forms.”

From October until December, I was a guest professor in the Master’s program at @esad_valence In total, I spent 20 full days with the students—but when you look at the work, it feels like we spent an entire year together. Impossible to capture this project in just 20 images!
We transformed the Master’s program into a temporary Amateur program. Under the name Amateur Research Center Valence (A.R.C.V.), students were invited to investigate a series of unfamiliar objects whose origins and contexts remained undisclosed. These given figures became active agents in processes of learning and making—opening up discovery through research and transformation, figures being figured out.
Through a series of exercises—ranging from observation and description to measurement, calculation, imitation, and magnification—each proposal offered a method. Not definitive answers, but pathways for students to construct their own knowledge through doing.
All of this resulted in a publication and a beautiful exhibition (plus a behind-the-scenes film!). We went on a few wonderful field trips, explored both serious and silly ideas, and nothing ever seemed too much to ask of them. Spending time with these students was truly one of the highlights of 2025. They taught me so much.
Merci @lisebrosseau for giving me this opportunity.
Extremely enjoying working on my upcoming show! Save the date: opening 28 February

Two weeks ago I was a guest at @ensadnancy . In the workshop ‘FIGURE IT OUT’, participants were invited to investigate an unfamiliar drawing whose origin and context remain undisclosed. The given figure becomes an active agent in the processes of learning and making, prompting discovery through research and transformation—a figure being figured out.
Under the name Amateur Research Center Nancy (A.R.C.V.), each participant becomes both researcher and maker, using the given figure as a starting point for inquiry.
Through a series of proposed exercises—ranging from observation, and description to measurement, calculation, imitation, and magnification. Each exercise provides a method, offering not definitive answers but pathways for students to construct their own knowledge through doing.
Thank you to all the participants 👩🔬
