In Prime Room, an installation by Dan Olson, minimal elements of drawing, painting, sculpture, text and architecture are combined to create a situation that is simultaneously simple and complex, specific and general, private and public, abstract and representation, self-contained and open ended. It is based on, and also a test of, the human ability to create something, or everything, from almost nothing.

Dan Olson is a NSCAD graduate whose affiliations with grunt members date back to 1973.
