Kesang Lamdark was born in Dharamsala, India, in 1963 and grew up in Switzerland. After apprenticing and working as an interior architect in Switzerland, he studied art at the Parsons School of Design in New York from 1991–95, and received an MFA in 1997 from Columbia University in New York. His multimedia sculptures and installations, made from diverse materials including plastic, metal, lights and found objects, reflect both his Tibetan heritage and his freewheeling lifestyle in the United States and Europe. Lamdark has exhibited in gallery and museum exhibitions in Europe and the United States, and participated in the Third Guangzhou Triennial in 2008. He lives in Zurich.
