Lum’s work has been widely exhibited since the early 1980s in such venues as the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Witte de With Museum and the Kunsthalle Wien, among others. His work was featured in the 2014 Whitney Biennial and the 2002 Documenta 11, as well as the 1995 and 2001 Venice Biennales.
