Originally a photographer, Peter Haakon Thompson now uses participation, interaction and conversation as his main mediums to engage audiences outside of the traditional gallery setting.

Originally a photographer, Peter Haakon Thompson now uses participation, interaction and conversation as his main mediums to engage audiences outside of the traditional gallery setting. The A Project, the Art Shanty Projects, and Temporary Table Tennis Trailer, are just some of his works visible about the community. His latest work, Flag Services for South Minneapolis, allows dialogue between Thompson and neighbors and results in Thompson creating a flag-portrait of the families that they then can fly on their empty flag poles.
