Mira Dayal's Steel Model of Paper Copy of Desk Top with Pencil Groove reviewed in ArtSeen, BrooklynRail by Tom McGlynn.

"Mira Dayal’s second solo exhibition at Spencer Brownstone is understated in a sharply inventive way. Entering the gallery, one encounters what appears to be an ensemble of steel templates arrayed across the expansive concrete floor space that together form an arcana of post-industrial hieroglyphs. The show’s barely descriptive title, Steel Model of Paper Copy of Desk Top with Pencil Groove, is a kind of conceptual feint. Its prepositional piling-on—the “of-of-with” construction—is less a straightforward label than a quiet cue to Dayal’s modus operandi: a meticulous parsing of material translations and linguistic slippages. It’s in this recursive logic, this chain of representations, that the work finds its métier. In other words, how this work is seen is precisely why these works are to be seen together."
