Destination Aalborg is a project consisting of speculative interventions initiated by the Danish artist group Piscine. The project takes on the guise of a travel agency and a hybrid think tank that presents the arrival of solutions for future tourism in Aalborg.
Piscine invites the audience to join them through public spaces, on a city bus ride, and arriving at Aalborg Airport as a final destination. Via these performative experiences, Destination Aalborg aims to advance the city's desires by asking several questions - how can we optimize a city for future tourism? How can we utilize the desires of a city to generate new architectural imaginaries?
Alternatively, another question is whether a trickster has crept into the machinery...

Piscine is a multi-dependent exhibition phenomenon that handles solo, group, and collaborative situations: a hybrid apparatus that sometimes acts as an artist group and at other times a curatorial unit. The group has a shifting cast of members, but at the time of Destination Aalborg consists of the artists Anna Ørberg, Jens Settergren, and Mark Tholander.
