The EIDIA Cube Series originated in 1979 as a fundamental EIDIA ‘concept’ by Paul Lamarre while he was living in Chicago. The 5 inch cubes are fabricated in materials such as: clay, bronze, iron, lead, steel, magnesium, marble, concrete, granite, rubber, graphite, magnets, beeswax, salt, various common and exotic woods, gallery announcement cards, plaster, nut shells, wax, eggshells, gold and silver leaf. All cubes have been marked, engraved, heat branded or signed with the acronym EIDIA as an integral part of the form. (See EIDIA Manifesto)
The cube was specifically chosen as an axiomatic form meant to ‘literally’ contain an “idea." The EIDIA Cube Series is an ongoing investigation of “aesthetic research” through the structure of this form.
