Exhibitions and Events

Ed Pien: Present: Past / Future
Present: Past / Future is an evolving multimedia installation by artist Ed Pien that considers temporality as a lived, unstable, and relational condition. Developed through a long-term collaboration with the same group of elders in San Agustín, Cuba, the project brings together video portraits, photography, exchanged personal objects, and sculptural furniture assemblages to produce an immersive environment in which memory, aging, and presence unfold across multiple registers.

Opening reception for Ed Pien: Present: Past / Future
Please join us for the opening reception on Thursday, 7 May, from 6:00–8:00 pm.
