Jimi Dams assembled the sculpture, video, and predominantly figurative paintings and photographs that make up “DIAcussion,” his elegantly understated group show at Envoy Enterprises, with the goal of letting the art speak for itself. What it says—with a strong assist from Mr. Dams’s hanging, which draws a single, well-chosen work from each of nineteen artists and groups the pieces in formally thematic twos and threes—is that the variety of
formal choices available to an artist is a microcosm of the variety of human beings.
