In 2019 he was Visiting Professor of Sculpture at Carnegie Mellon School of Art, Pittsburgh.[7]

Museum projects

Sleepwalkers (2012–15) at the Hugh Lane Gallery, curated by Michael Dempsey and Logan Sisley, was a two-year project in which six artists were invited to use the museum's resources, reveal their artistic process, and to collaborate with each other in this "unusual experiment in exhibition production".[8] This process culminated in each artist developing a solo exhibition at the Hugh Lane Gallery and a publication.[9] Lynch's exhibition was titled A Blow-by-Blow Account of Stonecarving in Oxford and took place during July – September 2013.[10]
