Chris McCaw: Sunburns The Bay Area photographer makes his pictures in cameras he has built himself, placing photographic paper where film would normally go. The results are unique paper negatives that read as positives, stunning prints that are slashed through or singed by the lens-focused rays of the sun (L.O.). Duncan Miller Gallery, 10959 Venice Blvd., L.A.; ends Sat. (310) 838-2440.

Dennis Hollingsworth Los Angeles has an unfortunate history of neglecting its midcareer artists. This exhilaratingly seductive exhibition – only the seventh of Hollingsworth’s 35 solo shows to be held in L.A. – is a prime example of what the city stands to lose in such a bargain: artists of proven commitment and consummate skill, whose work shapes the identity of L.A. art for much of the rest of the world (H.M.). Michael Kohn Gallery, 8071 Beverly Blvd., L.A. Tue.-Fri., 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sat., 11 a.m.-6 p.m.; ends May 31. (323) 658-8088.
