Year-End Exhibition by Migration Residents

Starting this past fall with the opening of "Migration year," Proteus Gowanus launched an onsite Artist-In-Residence program. Three individuals (two artists, one anthropologist) produced work corresponding to the three Migration exhibitions.

Lado Pochkhua opened the Migration year with a project using documentary photographs he took with an old camera and expired film he bought for pennies in a flea market in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Sal Randolph makes art involving gift economies, social interaction and public spaces. She established the Bureau of Unknown Destinations at Proteus, inviting visitors to take home BUD packets containing instructions and a ticket to an unknown destination.

Eben Kirksey has hosted members of the Multispecies Salon during his stay at Proteus Gowanus while also developing the Utopia for the Golden Frog, an environment created from a discarded refrigerator for the Golden Frog, found today only is zoos.
