In the Mood: Photography and Everyday
curated by Stacey McCurroll Cutshaw
Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography
University of La Verne, California
April 20 - May 29, 2015

In the Mood: Photography and the Everyday explores how photography translates everyday experiences through a selection of images prompted by some of the intimate activities—including eating, sleeping, imagining, laughing, and crying—that shape the moments of daily life. The exhibition aims to present a modest portrait of the experience of everyday life conveyed through the photographic lens, and includes the work of four international contemporary photographers: Simona Bonanno, Goseong Choi, Noah Kalina, and Joann Pai.

Marking the 25th anniversary of the Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography, In the Mood: Photography and the Everyday is the final exhibition of the academic year.

Six photographs of my Ordinary World series will be there.
