Transitive and Ever shares the graduating projects of the 2026 MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts cohort at the School for the Contemporary Arts, 911吃瓜. Through a variety of forms, media and methodologies converging in a collection of work, Transitive and Ever invites visitors to move among each piece, to find themselves in the intervals of everything going off all at once.
Transitive and Ever explores students鈥� research through ritualistic encounters with their surroundings. The works, including visual art, sound, moving image, and performance, 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.
