The intended meanings,
backgrounds and implications of
different images came up during
a panel’s analysis of the use of
traditional techniques and subjects
in contemporary works of art in an
event held at the USC Fisher Museum
of Art on Tuesday night.
Jennifer Reynolds-Kaye, a
doctoral candidate in the art history
department, discussed the processes
involved in her dissertation’s
analysis of a piece by artist Tatiana
Parcero that involved a black and
white photograph transposed over
a 16th century map of a town in
Spain. Reynolds-Kaye traveled to
the town on the map to gather
more information, but she found
residents did not have a significant
understanding of their own history.
“Scholars at a university knew
more about the town’s history than
the citizens living there,” she said.
“This led me to question the ethical
responsibility of the artist and the art
historian to the source.”
Reynolds-Kaye has since worked
to return a copy of the map to the
town and educate the residents about
the history associated with it.
According to panelist Suzanne
Hudson, an assistant professor of
art history at USC, one of the biggest
challenges in analyzing art with
global elements was “to understand
the culture in which [the art] was
produced.”
Hudson’s presentation highlighted
issues of feminism within several
contemporary works by female
artists.
Ana Paulina Lee, a doctoral
candidate in USC’s department of
comparative literature, discussed
how the appropriation of traditional
images in contemporary art
functioned and whether the artist
further perpetuates the original
meaning of the image by including it
in their own work.
The conversation directly related
to art displayed in the Fisher
Museum’s current exhibition,
A Complex Weave: Women and
Identity in Contemporary Art. The
exhibition, which has been featured
at the museum since Sept. 5, explores
the complex question of identity
reflected in the work of contemporary
women artists.
The exhibition features 16 artists
and includes several mediums such
as photography, video, sculpture and
printmaking.
Nickolas Alarcon, a junior
majoring in psychology and critical
studies, said the event shed light
on many of the pieces he has seen
displayed in Fisher Museum this
semester.
“I’ve been [to the Fisher Museum]
a few times before and never really
understood the art, so it was nice
to hear a new perspective about the
pieces from experts,” Alarcon said.
“[Contemporary art] is something
I don’t usually pay attention to, but
it was really nice to hear what these
graduate students are doing with
studies in art.”
Scholars discuss varying interpretations of visual art
USC students and professors analyzed how the intended meaning
of art pieces can change over time and through different viewers.

Children who were exposed to
high levels of air pollution during
their first year of life or whose
mothers lived in environments
with high levels of air pollution
during pregnancy have a greater
risk of developing autism,
according to a recent study
conducted by USC and Children’s
Hospital Los Angeles scientists.
The study, “Traffic Related Air
Pollution, Particulate Matter, and
Autism,” suggests that exposure
to traffic-related air pollution
during pregnancy and the first
year of life leads to a two-fold
risk of autism. The study was
published Monday online in the
Archive of General Psychiatry and
focused on the research done by a
team composed of Keck, CHLA
and UC Davis MIND Institute
investigators.
“This work has broad potential
public health implications,”
said Heather Volk, the study’s
principal investigator and an
assistant professor of preventative
medicine at USC, in a release.

USC scientists discovered that
exposure to pollution early in life
can have severe consequences.
