ART:

Mungo Thomson

"In the words of artist Margaret Morgan, Mungo Thomson is a “polymorphous, bastard
conceptualist”—a designation hard to improve on, given the artist’s promiscuously
wideranging art. By turns deadpan and caustically sly—he has manufactured
Styrofoam antenna balls emblazoned with John Baldessari’s bearded visage and
bumper stickers bearing Bruce Nauman’s doxa “The True Artist Helps the World by
Revealing Mystic Truths”—Thomson’s inherently conversational practice both gamely
Pop-ifies its often antiaesthetic historical precedents and re-situates that generation’s
thought experiments in the social realm." -Suzanne Hudson
