The limits of language are the limits of my world. -- Wittgenstein

No single word in the English language adequately characterizes this moment, so the MFA class of 2025 coined and defined the word Collapsense. This naming recognizes power and precarity in the time of ecological and political crises, and it inaugurates the annual Spring First Year Graduate Student exhibit. On view at the Worth Ryder Art Gallery are heterogenous objects and gestures elucidating collapsense and expanding the limits of our world.

The exhibit features new work by: 

Viviana Martinez Carlos
Priyanka D'Souza (1/2 Resting Museum)
Arianna Khmelniuk
Jasmine Nyende
