Sang-Mi Yoo’s laser-cut felt and large format lithography installation “The Anomalous Traces” at UTSA Satellite Space. Her show is the latest part of “New Village,” an ongoing project that blends childhood memories with a terrain every kid knows — the boring land of ticky-tacky houses, the “ideal home” banged-out by developers and gleefully hawked by realtors.
Rows of New Village houses and floor plans made of felt float off the wall, while lithographs of similar design hang in rows down the center of the gallery.
Paired with her installation is Juan De Dios Mora’s MFA thesis show, “¡Fijate No Mas! I Can Tell It’s Customized!” Mimicking the hybrid culture of the Mexican-American borderlands, his characters ride surrealist contraptions that seem on the verge of falling apart as they rocket over the horizon.
