Practical Fridays

Practical Fridays was a workshop series, founded and coordinated by artist Philip Matesic from 2013 until 2019. The series expanded practically on Theory Tuesdays, a nonacademic platform for theoretical discussion. Instead of discussing a theoretical text, participants had a hands-on, collective experience of learning something practical from a non-professional. Each workshop was run by a different person at various locations in Zurich, Switzerland.

“Suturing” with Brian

During this Practical Fridays, Brian lead a suturing workshop. He reviewed common suture techniques used to close a wound, using various materials and tools. Each participant then practiced these techniques individually on a pig’s foot.

“Suturing – Surgical stitching to close a wound or incision or to approximate parts. Suturing may be continuous or by separated stitches (interrupted suturing) and may employ absorbable sutures, such as collagen or catgut, or non-absorbable sutures that may have to be removed.” -Collins Dictionary of Medicine

Location: Reseda Zürich (Badenerstrasse 230, 8004 Zürich)
