In this sculpture exhibition artist Matt Lynch juxtaposes commonplace fixtures of life with more romantic notions of art, nostalgia and transcendence. Mundane objects and materials are synthesized and placed in sensational situations with sarcasm and wit.

In 1996, Matt co-formed SIMPARCH, an artist group influenced by architecture, design, popular culture and physical experience. SIMPARCH's large scale installations have been exhibited at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, and Documenta 11 in Kassel, Germany. Matt received his B.F.A. degree from Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana and his M.F.A. degree from Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York. He was awarded a Pollack-Krasner grant in 1997.
