Installation view of “Bob Witz: An Orbit All By Himself” @Plato's Cave


To further commemorate this often overlooked artist, EIDIA is also in the process of making a

documentary film on Witz, a mainstay of New York’s downtown scene in the 1970’s and 80’s. The film

(Bob Witz Untitled) will feature Witz’s paintings and sculptures, and the literary arts publication

“APPEARANCES” to capture the artist’s – still at work in his modest one room studio loft - compelling

and ever-unfolding story. Including interviews with fellow artists, colleagues, scholars and friends,

the film is also a portrait of the artistic circle that spanned the 60 years of Witz’s enduring art

practice. For PLATO’S CAVE, EIDIA House Inc. co-directors Melissa P. Wolf and Paul Lamarre (aka

EIDIA) curate invited fellow artists to create an installation with (in some cases) an accompanying

limited edition. EIDIA House functions as an art gallery and meeting place, collaborating with artists

to create "socially radical" art forms framed within the discipline of aesthetic research.


Ryan Lee Gallery, the RLWindow, "Done Decks" by EIDIA – Melissa Wolf and Paul Lamarre

July 11 –August 10, 2018



With Done Decks, EIDIA’s installation for RLWindow departs from the topic of “food” (as in  the

adjacent RYAN LEE exhibition featuring highlights from FOOD SEX ART the Starving

Artists’Cookbook  &  Video  Series)  and  enters  into  the  world  of  Skateboarders.  EIDIA  bridges 

these topics by suggesting that, like artists performing with their “food,” the skateboarders, as

creative individuals, act “Play” far beyond the age that our society finds acceptable. And artists seem

to engage in similar behavior.
