Assistant Professor Ed Pien celebrated the launch of the solo exhibition Shadowed Land on September 22 at the Art Gallery of Mississauga.

Shadowed Land features new installation and video work in which Pien explores notions of sense memory and the irrepresentability of traumatic histories and loss. Incorporating photography, video, sound, light and kinetic installations, this body of work has grown out of Pien’s interest in concepts of disappearance and haunting, and probes ideas of being implicated, bearing witness, loss, mourning, resilience, and empathy.

Shawdowed Land runs until January 1, 2017.

Pien also has a piece in the Art Museum’s exhibition: Form Follows Fiction: Art and Artists in Toronto, curated by Visiting Professor Luis Jacob. The Toronto Star described his piece, Night Gathering, as “emblematic of the tangled undergrowth in which Toronto’s artistic culture has always thrived.”

Form Follows Fiction runs until December 10, 2016.

You can also still view Pien’s installation, Revel, at the in/future exhibition at Ontario Place.  in/future runs until September 25.
