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. In Thomson’s diverse art—including film, sound work, sculpture, publication, and photographic wall murals—simple processes of inversion and transformation are joined with an expansive sense of space and context. 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). His book Negative Space was published by JRP|RIngier in 2006, and in 2008 he self-published the comic book Einstein #1. He is represented by Margo Leavin Gallery, Los Angeles, and John Connelly Presents, New York.
