Lamarre and Wolf are transdisciplinary artists in New York City who collaborate under the name EIDIA and also create work individually. They are co-directors of EIDIA House, a meeting place and forum for artists, scholars, poets, writers, architects and others interested in 'idée force' the arts as an instrument for positive social change.
EIDIA’s most compressive work to date, "The Deconsumptionists, Art As Archive" (2009—) is a 48ft semitrailer with a solar panel array roof. This 'nomadic hybrid' (functioning variously as an archive, exhibition space, sculpture, and site for public engagement/interaction) is a curatorial outpost propagating a sustainable art practice. Once you are inside what is revealed is a mini-art center with 171 boxes of previously created works by EIDIA during their 30-year practice. The contents of each box are documented through a series of archival Giclée photographic prints.
For PLATO'S CAVE (2009—) Wolf and Lamarre curate invited fellow artists to create installations with an accompanying edition for the underground exhibition space within the EIDIA House studio. EIDIA collaborates with each artist (31 to date) to create "socially radical" art forms—framed within the discipline of aesthetic research.
In 2012 Wolf and Lamarre were appointed Research Affiliates of the University of Sydney. Along with being Sundance Film Fellows, EIDIA's films have been screened in numerous film festivals. EIDIA has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and are in numerous collections. Over 200 academic institutions have acquired 'THE NEA TAPES' documentary film.

The twelfth annual NY Art Book Fair, from September 21 to 24, at MoMA PS1 Queens, New York, Arthur Fournier Fine & Rare presents; FOOD-SEX-ART | The Starving Artists' Cookbook, a project that began as an effort on the parts of downtown artists Paul Lamarre and Melissa Wolf, a.k.a. EIDIA House, to draw an intimate, subterranean food map of New York City's creative communities between the years of 1986 and 1991. Now, the duo’s archive of 150 video-verité culinary portraits, original artworks, handwritten recipes, and manuscript correspondence with contributors including Gilbert & George, Carolee Schneemann, Marilyn Minter, John Cage, John Sex, Tony Conrad, Louise Bourgeois and others forms the basis of this special exhibition about cooking as intimacy in daily life during the late 1980s – at the height of the HIV-AIDS crisis, as the city was rapidly gentrifying, and the art world was metamorphosing into the art market.
