5 Places is a partnership between Bury Art Museum and Metasenta in Melbourne to create a sequence of shows in 5 locations around the world linked to the ideas of artistic mobility and new ways of engaging with place and identity in a globalised culture. For the Asia Triennial, Bury's5 Places is guest curated by Irene Barberis of Metasenta and features two Chinese artists Tam Wai Ping and Dinu Li.

His works have been exhibited in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Macau, Japan, Sri Lanka, United Kingdom, France and USA.
