About the Bureau of Unknown Destinations From January through April, 2012, the Bureau of Unknown Destinations offered temporary displacements to members of the public seeking to experiment with their migratory impulses.The Bureau distributed free round trip tickets for train adventures: day trips which began with the tearing open of a sealed envelope, revealing the mystery of where the traveler would find themselves by noon. The Bureau provided the opportunity for voyagers to set forth, free of decisions, into the great (or perhaps, in this case, the small) unknown. To test their sense of destiny. To have lunch someplace new. Having given away 100 tickets, the Bureau moved into a new phase, developing Psychogeographic Destination Kits, which we invite you to test. Download your kit [pdf]. The Bureau of Unknown Destinations was part of a three month artist's residency by Sal Randolph at Proteus Gowanus, extending through the beginning of April. Proteus Gowanus is an interdisciplinary gallery and reading room located on the shores of the Gowanus canal in Brooklyn. Their yearlong theme is Migration.
