Instant Tunnel, a site-specific installation by Mira Dayal at The Gallery Ltd. Borrowing its title from an absurd ACME brand product featured in the cartoon Road Runner, the exhibition design responds to the triangle formed by the intersections of Wythe Avenue, N 15th Street and Gem Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Dayal muddies the distinction between the gallery threshold and the industrial spillover of Gem Street's storied Acme Smoked Fish. Combining found video with riffs on trompe l'oeil painting, Dayal builds on her practice of critically and playfully altering architecture and infrastructure.
