Flatbed is greatly pleased to present SANGMI YOO: Stereotyped Ordinary . A reception for the artist will be held on January 25th from 6 until 8 pm in the Flatbed Gallery. This exhibition and installation help Flatbed celebrate PrintAustin 2020 and we are pleased to welcome this distinguished and recognized artist and her work to Austin, Texas. The exhibition, which begins January 15 will be on view through February 15.
The reception will feature a brief artist talk at 6 pm. In Flatbed’s new digital studio, a representative from Canon large format printers will be giving demonstrations.
Sangmi uses a combination of digitally printed and laser cutting techniques to create a large installation of works that celebrate the often thought of as “ordinary” architectural structures around us including what may see stereotypical “house” or “home” images.
