Undergraduate Exhibition: Caitlin Disney, Love Dad. Daily: Friday 02/19/2010 - Wednesday 03/10/2010; All day 3001 Gallery Graduate Fine Arts Building 3001 S. Flower Street Los Angeles CA 90007 3001 Gallery was established by the photography area at the USC Roski School of Fine Arts in 2009. Gallery Hours: Mon.–Fri., 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Artist Statement: Love Dad. It is the insignia with which all fathers sign their children’s birthday cards but the phrase also encompasses the concept of loving and being loved by one’s father. This show features four photographs, organized into two related diptychs. Each diptych features one photograph of the outside surface of a birthday card paired with the corresponding photograph of the inside surface. The cards were sent to my younger sister, Kim, on the eve of her 21st birthday by our father. Both cards were received on the same day, January 8th, 2010 and subsequently opened and read at the same time. The conflicting texts of the two cards reinforces the double meaning of the title. Obligations collide with hurt feelings and anger in the inappropriate space of the Birthday card transforming it into an artifact of a complicated and emotional relationship between a father and daughter. This body of work confronts the viewer with a portrait of that relationship Macomber Travel Prize Exhibition: Maria Greschenko, Kerria Lacca Daily: Monday 02/22/2010 - Thursday 03/04/2010; All day University Park Campus USC Helen Lindhurst Fine Arts Gallery (WAH) Gallery hours: Monday–Thursday, 9am–7:30pm Friday, 9am–4:30 pm Saturday & Sunday by appointment Closing Reception: March 4, 7-10 p.m. Kathleen Neely Macomber Travel Prize Exhibition Undergraduate Exhibition: Cut The Mustard Daily: Monday 03/01/2010 - Friday 03/05/2010; All day Pacific Design Center Room B266 8687 Melrose Ave West Hollywood CA 90069 Gallery hours: 2-5 pm, Monday-Friday Artists: Meredith BayseEllie Lee Clover OakChris O\'Hurley Alex Ortiz MFA Thesis Exhibition: Kenneth Tam, Casual Encounters Daily: Monday 03/01/2010 - Saturday 03/06/2010; All day Gayle & Ed Roski MFA Gallery Graduate Fine Arts Building 3001 S.
