The Chinese artist collective Polit-Sheer-Form Office (PSFO) comprised of Hong Hao, Xiao Yu, Song Dong, Liu Jianhua, and curator/critic Leng Lin imagines a new Socialism based on the possibilities of shared experience through collective activities. For this eighteenth edition of Offsite, PSFO presents Fitness for All, a series of customized and interactive fitness machines inspired by exercise equipment commonly found in public spaces throughout China. Acting as both contemporary sculpture and an outdoor gymnasium, Fitness for All creates a space for collective gathering.
