Flatbed is greatly pleased to present “Stereotyped Ordinary: Installation and Prints” an exhibition and installation by Sangmi Yoo for PrintAustin 2020. The exhibition begins January 15 and an reception for the artist will be held on January 25th from 6 until 8 pm in the Flatbed Gallery. Using a combination of digitally printed and laser cutting techniques, Sangmi has created a large installation of works that celebrated the often thought of as “ordinary” architectural structures around us including what may see stereotypical “house” or “home” images.
