Breathing Lab

Urban Sport Club Contract, Performative Classes, Live Music

2025

​

 

 

Breathing Lab is a performative, research-based framework that uses fitness platforms to: stage temporary happenings, highlight the vulnerabilities of wellness-consumer systems, and extend the contexts in which performance and experimentation can occur.

 

In 2025, the artist registered with the membership-based fitness platform Urban Sports Club as a wellness instructor creating a series of class formats, combining meditation, performative movement, creative expression, and live music.

​

The project is documented through text, images, and video, and reflects on digital wellness infrastructures, contemporary fitness consumption, and social behaviour, exploring how legitimacy are constructed within membership-based wellness systems, and how alternative narratives can emerge from within such platforms.
