Chris Thompson (b, 1991, Teesside) is an artist and curator working in sculpture and Installation.
Chris is interested in making art that appropriates, reconfigures and antagonises a diverse cast of materials, objects and references to build speculative, anthropological enquiries into cultural memory and the contradictions embedded within contemporary existence.
He makes exhibitions through re-contextualization, classic modes of production and through the construction of fiction in which audiences circulate. His work typically takes the form of immersive sculptural installations with a site and contextual responsivity. Humour, audience interactivity and spectacle are recurring methods of exploring subjects.
