Tun Win Aung & Wah Nu - White Piece #0184_ Inked Over, Zan Myint, 2017, Acrylic and collage on canvas, 34.3 x 28 cm
The Squares is the first solo exhibition at RKFA Singapore by the Burmese artist duo Tun Win Aung (b. 1975) and Wah Nu (b. 1977). Running from 11 January to 15 February 2025, this groundbreaking exhibition will coincide with Singapore Art Week (SAW) 2025, one of the region’s most anticipated art events.
The Squares presents a new series from the artists’ ongoing project, Thousand Pieces of White (begun 2009), a reflective body of work that delves into three decades of personal and political history in Myanmar. Another highlight of the exhibition is the inclusion of the restored 1973 film Tender are the Feet (Ché Phawa Daw Nu Nu), by acclaimed Burmese director Maung Wunna.
Curated by Louis Ho, The Squares offers a poignant micro-history of Myanmar’s recent past, exploring how censorship has shaped not just political discourse but also the visual language of its citizens. The exhibition serves as both a remembrance and a reinterpretation of the material traces of that era, providing audiences with a deeply evocative and thought-provoking experience.
