The ARC group formed in the early 1980s. Some members of the group met at the Slade School of Art while others were studying architecture. All were interested in making site-specific art installation works mostly with recycled material, partially influenced by the DIY culture of groups such as the Mutoid Waste Company. The ARC group occupied a number of buildings in the late 1980s in London, including 108 Drummond Street in Euston and Chumley Dene in Highgate.
The group exhibited in Milan, Genoa and Budapest before disbanding in the winter of 1991.
