Ed Woodham (born 1957 ) is an American conceptual artist engaged in social practice, queer aesthetics, performance and visual art.
Woodham is the founder of Art In Odd Places AiOP, a festival that brings a thematically organized concentration of art experiences to public spaces. Occurring annually in New York City since 2005,[1][2] the festival has travelled nationally and internationally.[3][4] AiOP originated during the 1996 summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, which supported a robust Cultural Olympiad. [5][6][7] In 2018 the festival was invited by students at the University of Virginia to address the site of the 2017 Unite the Right rally. Art in Odd Places 2018: MATTER Charlottesville featured 16 local artists, three regional artists and nine national and international artists, and aspired to a renewal of the site through historical reclamation and expressions of community rights to public space. [8] As part of the festival, artist Leslie Scott-Jones had planned a celebration of the slaves who built the University of Virginia, but faced censorship by the University, marking a first in the festival's history.[9]
In one of Woodham's ongoing art projects, "The Keepers", performers dressed in ghillie suits appear in circumstances of rapid urban development to address displacement, gentrification, environmental impact, and historical loss and / or erasure. First performed in 2013 on beaches in Australia under the title "Numb and Number", and appearing in numerous locations over time and place, "The Keepers" showed up in 2023 in the neighborhood of Penn Station in Manhattan, which is undergoing rapid urban redevelopment. [10] [11]
Woodham's practice also includes writing and archiving documentary materials. From 1990 to 1997 he was founder and director of the artists collective 800 East, an alternative art space in downtown Atlanta. Under the leadership of Randy Gue, Curator of Modern Political and Historical Collections at the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, & Rare Book Library of the Robert W. Woodruff Library at Emory University, Woodham's archive of 800 East was acquired by the University library. [12]
Currently based in New York City, he is faculty of the Visual and Critical Studies Department at the School of Visual Arts,[13] and NYU's Hemispheric Institute.[14] He is also a mentor in New Inc, the New Museum's cultural incubator.[15]
