Her work has also been exhibited at the Shanghai Biennale; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; and Jhaveri Contemporary, Mumbai. Kaul is Associate Professor of the Practice in Art History & Visual Studies, Duke University, Durham, US. Born in 1973 in Jodhpur, India, she lives and works in Durham.
