(remarkably, before the “green” era ever began). DECONSUMPTION has been renamed and reformulated since 9/11, becoming DECONSUMPTION & THE DECONSUMPTIONISTS. This roaming installation consists of a 48-foot semi-trailer that serves as a platform for EIDIA’s current dialogue and aesthetic research. The trailer houses 171 boxes that contain, among other things, thirty years worth of collective works, ephemera, and correspondence. The trailer was shown for the first time at the Sydney College of the Arts in Australia in 2011. (An earlier version was presented in New Mexico at the Santa Fe Art Institute in 2006.) EIDIA's current curatorial project Plato's Cave (2009 to 2015) is based on Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and inspired by Art & Project.
