Buns of Butter Gym
2000-01 - Installation (mixed-media with audio)

In 1999, I started a project of making a gym with workout stations where the aesthetics and experience of exercise were changed. I built 3 workout stations, each with a 5 minute theme song that viewers could listen to while trying out the station. The gym offered a good 15 minute workout with the 3 stations I made.

The Butter Bike was a buttery yellow bike. The Go West Bike was a leather Western-styled tooled bike. Above the bikes were mixed-media mobiles. The Cheese Kick Contraption, featured in the Buns of Butter Video, offered a kick-box workout - viewers could listen to a song and kick a 5 pound hunk of cheese.
