Tun Win Aung + Wah Nu

Their work has been exhibited in the Sixth Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, Brisbane, Australia (2009), the Third Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale, Fukuoka, Japan (2005), and the Eleventh Asian Art Biennial, Dhaka, Bangladesh (2004).
Theircurrent exhibition at Meulensteen Gallery in New York will be on view from November 10 – December 23, 2011.
