For previous exhibitions Dym has created elaborate 3-D installations comprised of room-like structures lined with Òvividly colored fictional road maps and continents and filled with invented vehicles that look like blown-up tinker toys.Ó (Carol Kino, essay) This exhibition will consist of large, wall-sized ÒdrawingsÓ created with the aid of a computer. In a sense the gallery walls, almost entirely covered, now become the enlarged enclosure, with their usual function of enclosing objects altered. According to KinoÑ Now the enclosure exists in the imagination.... [B]ut though these Rube Goldberg-esque contraptions look logical, they donÕt actually seem to produce anything. Each rendering also comes with an accompanying ground plan, which one might expect to be an accurate schema for the imaginary space. But rather than bogging herself down with the technicalities of an accurate transposition, Dym just draws them freehand, again on her computer. The sum total makes for a weird confusion of invention and logic.
