What’s left when its left over
Student-led Workshop
In this workshop we will fragmentize, decentralize and soften the weight and force of usefulness and look at our left-overs, broken parts and not-quite yet configurations with other eyes and most importantly from a diverse range of practices and interests.
We will work with explorative scores and exercises on a curiosity of what else is there, acknowledging the complexity of materials that have been shaped and formed by former processes, yet are not tied any longer to a specific function and therefore offer us a potent communicative other to engage with and learn from.

When and where does the event happen?
Time: Tue 2025-04-29 16.00 - 19.00
Location: KTH Värmeverket (Drottning Kristinas väg 14)
Who is it for?
For everyone from KTH, KMH, SKH, Konstfack, KKH, Tekniska museet, Scenkonstmuseet.
What do participants gain from this experience?
During this workshop we will engage with each other's by-products, left-overs and broken parts, learning about the different research practices and fields by looking at the by-products, the nearby’s, the muck-up versions or attempts.
Towards the end of the workshop we will lean into a shared fabric of experiences of engagements and memories of encountering other domains and territories.
It will be an environment where we don’t have to represent and unfold our research but to offer each other surfaces to engage with. We will learn from and with each other and potentially discover surprising proximities and overlaps between our practices.
Why should one participate?
It will be fun! We will establish a shared and spatial playground that will host us and our curiosities for one day.
It will be a meeting point for us and our different practices and interests, a meeting point between art, design and technology.
Host information
In his work Martin Sieweke researches on different notions of material-relation, considering the very configurations of materials as a capacity to be with to find hybridization in form and function that escapes the product paradigm and understanding of design and sleekness, of soundless navigation between goods, purposes and tools. He works in different contexts and across multiple collaborative and individual practices of bag-making, scenography, workshops and performances. In 2023 he was an associate researcher at the post-graduate program at a.pass, Brussels and is currently enrolled in the MA New Performative Practice at SKH in Stockholm.
