Curated by Vito Schnabel, Simonsen was included in the 2010 Brucennial, a large group show in lower Manhattan under the arts collective, The Bruce High Quality Foundation. Considered to be "the most important survey of contemporary art in the world ever, " the exhibition brought together 420 artists from 911 countries working in 666 discrete disciplines. A critical review of the exhibition appeared in a New York Times article by Holland Cotter. The exhibition included such names as; David Salle, Francesco Clemente, Donald Baechler, among others. Shortly following, Simonsen's work was chosen for an exhibition at Platform Gallery in Seattle, WA, curated by artist William Powhida. In 2014 Simonsen exhibited drawings for the Bellevue Arts Museum: BAM Biennial: Knock on Wood. These works responded to a large collection of his family's turn-of-the-century photographs of the Pacific Northwest's logging and railroad industries. A critical response to Simonsen's drawings were featured in the Seattle Weekly blog for a review of the Biennial by arts writer Brian Miller.
