Simparch (original) (raw)
Simparch is an American artist collective that was founded in Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1996. Presently this group is organized and maintained by founding members Matthew Lynch and Steve Badgett. Former members were Pat Finlay and Robert Hollinger. Their practice involves large-scale, usually interactive installations and works that, as the group's name suggests, examine simple architecture, building practices, site specificity 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.

| dbo:abstract | Simparch (gegründet 1996 in Las Cruces in New Mexico) ist ein Künstler-Kollektiv. Die aktiven Mitglieder sind Steven Badgett (* 1962, Illinois) und Matthew Lynch (* 1969, Indiana). Zuvor gehörten ihm auch Pat Finlay und Robert Hollinger an. Der Name Simparch ist eine Kombination aus den Worten Simple und Architecture. „Simparchs „einfache Architektur“, eine Anspielung an SciArch (Southern California Institute of Architecture) vertritt eine Design-Vorstellung, nach der die Form den Bedürfnissen nach besseren Lebensbedingungen folgt und sich nicht dem kapitalistischen Drängen nach Funktionalität, Effizienz, und kosmetischer Erscheinung beugt“. Simparch schafft meist interaktive Kunstwerke in großem Maßstab zu den Themen Reisen, Freizeit, Grenzmythos und Populärkultur, die sich auch mit einfacher und ortsspezifischer Architektur und Bauweisen beschäftigt. Die verwendeten Materialien sind oft recycled oder stammen aus Abrissen. Free Basin (2000–2002), eine funktionsfähige, nierenförmige „skate bowl“ aus Sperrholz, die einem Modell von kalifornischen Garten-Swimmingpools nachempfunden ist, wurde 2002 auf der Documenta11 in Kassel gezeigt.
