What’s Left examines an art institution engages with the material and structural leftovers of everyday institutional life. Through observations and fieldwork, we explored how people adapt to, resist, or reorganize their environments — whether through efficient systems of reuse or through improvised, chaotic arrangements.
Our project responds to this surplus by asking how these by-products can be reused collectively and creatively. We selected several objects and projects that resonate with the topic of leftovers. Since most of what we collected were test prints from the Bookbinding Workshop, Silk-Screening Studio, and Photography Lab, we decided to create a zine-making space where visitors can deconstruct these leftovers into something new.
Leftovers linger. They remind us that art and design don’t just emerge cleanly from a single stroke of genius, but from trial, error, repetition, and care.
