under which the American transdisciplinary artists Paul Lamarre and Melissa P. Wolf have collaborated since 1986. Lamarre (born in Monroe, Michigan, 1950), was the oldest of seven children in a large Roman Catholic family. His early inspiration to be an American contemporary artist came as a child seeing the Diego Rivera,

who actually encouraged Lamarre to "drop out" and move to New York. However, Lamarre completed his degree graduating ''magna cum laude'' and, after a brief spell in Chicago, Illinois, moved to New York City in 1980 where he still lives and works with his wife and art collaborator Melissa P. Wolf. The duo, called EIDIA, began working together while Lamarre was living at the Chelsea Hotel, (to creat
The Chelsea Tapes
video series). This work was made possible by a fellowship from the New York Creative Artist's Program Service. Melissa P. Wolf (born in Buffalo, New York) attended Syracuse University, Boston Museum School, Tufts University and Pratt Institute Brooklyn, New York. The name EIDIA (created by Lamarre) is derived from the ancient Greek word for idea, “ eidos”, but the acronym has many possible meanings that Lamarre and Wolf outlined in their 1978 manifesto: Each Idea Defines Itself Aesthetically; Esthetic Interpretations Directs Imaginative Action; Everything I Do Is Art; Every Individual Does Individual Art; Every Individual Develops Ideal Aesthetics; Every Intellect Develops Intuitive Art; and Ecological Involvement Demands Immediate Action/Individual Action. EIDIA approaches their work in many ways, playing with different concepts and materials simultaneously. Over the years, they have worked in sculpture, photography, painting and video and film, presenting everything from static objects to multimedia installations. For years, they have purposefully worked outside of traditional gallery systems. EIDIA House, founded by Lamarre and Wolf, is a meeting place and forum for artists, scholars, poets, writers, architects and others who are interested in the arts as instrument for positive social change (a concept dubbed "''idée force''" by the late French sociologist, anthropologist and philosopher

The intent of EIDIA House is to “broaden aesthetic research, promote a comprehensive expansion of the influence of art on a world wide basis, encourage 'green' architecture, and create an authentic forum for social change originating from the art world”.

Bourgeois the Artist, Bourgeois the Cook chronicled approximately 150 artists cooking in the US, Europe and Russia. While expounding on the artists' relationship between art and life, ''FOOD SEX ART the Starving Artists' Cookbook'' is also a portrait series on the artist in society and a video documentation of the social-economic condition of the arts community in downtown New York and internationally. Continuing their work in video, EIDIA went on to make the award-winning documentary

From airmen to animators, A few of the week’s 100-plus on-screen excursions about the threatened dismantling of The National Endowment for the Arts. The piece is held in the library collections of over 200 universities, colleges and art institutes. Based on ''the nea tapes'' archive, Lamarre and Wolf interviewed over 300 artists, curators, art professionals, politicians and religious persons on their views on the status of American art in the late 1990s. ''the nea tapes'' also had the distinction of being screened in the US Capitol Building, Washington DC, under the auspices of the office of the Representative Jerrold Nadler. EIDIA’s performance/installation ''DECONSUMPTION'' (2001 to 2007) was modeled on the idea of "more production of less". They performed the "sale" of numerous found objects (reclaimed by EIDIA as “art”) purchased by the thousands of visitors to EIDIA House. With this piece, their production of artistic matter shifted from creating works using new materials to re-introducing, re-considering, re-shaping and recycling pre-existing items (remarkably, before the “green” era ever began). ''DECONSUMPTION'' has been renamed and reformulated since
