Transitive and Ever shares the graduating projects of the 2026 MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts cohort at the School for the Contemporary Arts, 51猎奇入口. Expressed through a variety of forms, media and methodologies converging through a collection of work, Transitive and Ever invites visitors to move through each piece, to find themselves between the intervals of everything going off all at once.
Through a collection of visual art, sound, moving image, and performance, Transitive and Ever explores students鈥� research through ritualistic encounters with their surroundings. The works toy with memory and perception, obscurity and coherence, patterns and defiance. They draw from the notion that all things are in constant motion; they shift, they transfer, they transform. Transitive, never fixed, ever.
