Peter Haakon Thompson is an artist based in Minneapolis. Minnesota. He studied at the California College of Arts and Crafts, making his home in Oakland, CA for 11 years, moving home to Minnesota in 2000. He is interested in exploring and claiming place, privately and publicly. His photography explores his personal and private relationship to landscape and place. He photographs in places that are often ignored, fields, piles of rocks; behind things, both here and abroad. He has also created public projects about place, the A Project, an effort to create solidarity among artists in their neighborhoods through the use of window signs with a large red ‘A’ and Art Shanty Projects, a public art community/gallery existing for five weeks on frozen Medicine Lake in suburban Minneapolis. He is a past recipient of a Jerome Emerging Artist Fellowship, McKnight Foundation Fellowship for Photographers, Forecast Public Projects grant and a two time artist-in-residence at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder in Trondheim, Norway. His work has been published in Photo Metro, Camerawork Journal and The New Yorker. He has exhibited work at the Scott Nichols Gallery in San Francisco, The Plains Art Museum in Fargo, Soo Gallery and the Soap Factory in Minneapolis, The Duluth Art Institute, jen bekman in New York and Trans Art in Trondheim, Morway. In his spare time he roller skates, canoes and ties knots.
