Plant
Food (when I'm dead) will hang in the office of
State Senator Steven C. Panagiotakos, along with the
work of other UMass Lowell students and alumni, from October
2008 through the end of the year.
The
exhibition is not open to the public, and only available to
individuals who visit the Senator's office on official business.
The
goal of the installation is to showcase the work of UML students
and alumni and have it serve as a reminder, to all who visit,
of the important role that Senator Panagiotakos's department
plays in the development of young, creative minds.
