Do you want to train at the Gallery?

The exhibition Physical Culture: Porto edition, by Augustas Serapinas, is activated by its use for both academic training — traditionally centred around drawing from classical sculpture — and physical training — as when visitors interact with the installation as a gym.

At various points during the exhibition, local groups and visitors will be invited to take part in bodybuilding and fitness activities or in drawing classes.

To allow visitors to participate, there are a few activation rules in place:

Target Audiences
Independent visitors (general public)
Organised groups (by prior Booking)

General Principle
Participation in the exhibition activation implies knowledge and tacit acceptance of these rules: any participant engaging in physical exercise or drawing within the exhibition acknowledges that they are subject to the provisions set out herein.

Cautions and Guidelines
Participants in the exhibition activation must be previously informed of, and are deemed to tacitly accept, the terms, conditions and rules governing the use of the equipment.
Participants assume full responsibility for their own safety and for safeguarding their physical integrity, ensuring that neither the artwork, the exhibition space nor third parties are put at risk.
Participants undertake to take part in the activation consciously and not merely experimentally (without “trial runs” or inappropriate attempts to use the equipment).

For the practice of physical exercise
Participants must be previously equipped with appropriate sports clothing and footwear, as well as a personal towel. The use of the equipment available inside the exhibition is permitted. The use of other additional personal equipment is not permitted. Dropping weights or handles, dragging, striking or tilting machines is strictly prohibited. The use of physical exercise equipment by minors is only permitted under the supervision, direct and permanent oversight of a parent or legal guardian.
