About EDA

EDA Project Space is a nomadic, not for profit, artist-run initiative jointly directed by New Zealand artists Sean Bosman and Vanessa Preston. Founded in 2016  and currently based in Montevideo, Uruguay, it aims to facilitate projects with emerging and experimental practitioners. Through a programme of collaborations, events and publications EDA’s objective is to provide a forum for critical discussion, both in its temporary locations and online.

The name of the space, deriving from Spanish, is a contraction of “El Dormitorio Amarillo” (The Yellow Bedroom); in light-hearted reference to its first physical site and pointing to its intention to connect practitioners from varying backgrounds. EDA is particularly interested in developing discussion around expanding definitions of institution and alternative channels for the production and distribution of work. In doing so it explores research, discussion and community forming as finished work, as well as the possibility of viewing domestic and online spaces not only as valid sites to exhibit but as works in themselves.

EDA Project Space is partly funded by the New Zealand University of Canterbury’s Ethel Susan Jones Scholarship.
