Biography
Mungo Thomson (born 1969) is an American artist based in Los Angeles. His wide-ranging, often serial practice spans film, sound, sculpture, photography, installation, drawings and books, engaging with mass culture, everyday perception, representation and cosmology. Working with cultural signs and analogue materials, he repurposes them into immersive optical and kinetic experiences, in a manner often placed within the tradition of West Coast conceptual art. His work is held in collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Whitney Museum of American Art, LACMA and the Walker Art Center, and recent solo exhibitions include the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, the Aspen Art Museum and Karma, New York. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2025.
