From the permanent collection.
I was particularly drawn to the delicate work by Tomoko Ishida ”Co-twisted, 2003”, using paper and starch. The intricate Macramé knots and fringes by Françoise Grossen, like her Shield & Blu, c. 1968. And the most striking of them all, Judith Shaechter’s stained glass kaleidoscope, adorning the second floor stairwell. Aptly titled ”Seeing is Believing” this site-specific permanent installation extends the art viewing to an otherwise bare and functional space and rewards those curious enough to peek behind closed doors.

It’s easy to bypass it; not as high-ranking as the big shots, but quite interesting. Although it is called Museum of Art and Design, it seems to me they mostly honour crafts over arts. Then again, craft and art are two sides of the same coin…

Oh, yes now I remember – had forgotten about this completely. Now, we must go back. I saw that one may even ”become an M*Card member and enjoy occasional surprises”… but then you know that first hand 🙂
