Menopausal Gym
Bangkok Art Biennale 2024
National Gallery Thailand

Menopausal Gym was performed over 3 days for 3 hours per day in the covered courtyard of National Gallery of Thailand during the first week of Bangkok Art Biennale 2024. The objects and video documentation remain as a sculptural installation until the end of the biennale, 25th February 2025.

The theme of this 4th edition of the biennale is ‘Nurture Gaia’, as the work was performed outside, the ambient conditions of the hot and humid weather became a conspicuous albeit invisible collaborator.

Menopausal Gym is a performance, sculpture installation of iterations that very depending on context and duration. Consistent factors are a cube frame(s), resistance bands and gym balls, executing a series of movements and exercise that invite periods of energy and fatigue.
