Is a contemporary visual artist based in Los Angeles.Thomson’s work pairs a distinctly West Coast conceptual sensibility[1] with an interest in cosmology, mysticism, and reception.

For example, Coat Check Chimes, his project for the 2008 Whitney Biennial, transformed the Museum’s coat check into an enormous musical instrument that was “played” by the incidental participation of the public, the weather, and chance.[2] Thomson attended the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program and the UCLA MFA program. He has had solo exhibitions at the UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2008); the Kadist Art Foundation, Paris (2007); and Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (GAMeC), Bergamo, Italy (2006).
