- Simparch
SIMPARCH is an American artist collective that was founded in Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1996. Presently this group is organized and maintained by
Matthew Lynch andSteve Badgett . Their practice involves large-scale, usually interactive installations and works that, as the group's name suggests, examine simple architecture, building practices,site specific ity and materials that may be salvaged, recycled or generally brought together with a kind of d.i.y. attitude. Often collaborating with other artists, builders, art critics,graffiti artists, filmmakers, and skate boarders, and musicians, SIMPARCH works at providing sites which allow for social interaction and experimentation with design and materials.Works
