University of Illinois News Bureau, Champaign, IL (19 Jan 2012) - Unlike most art exhibition receptions, the one kicking off the spring semester at Figure One
– the University of Illinois’ art exhibition space in downtown
Champaign – won’t involve wine and little cheese cubes speared on
colorful toothpicks. Instead, patrons will nosh on milk and cookies,
then skip over a bridge and watch TV in a fort.

The exhibition comprises a single installation by Samantha Persons, a first-year graduate student in the School of Art and Design, a unit in the U. of I. College of Fine and Applied Arts. more
