In accordance with good conservation practise, fiber and wood artworks are periodically changed in this rotating show of objects from the museum's permanent collection; until June 30 work by artist-Friends Stephen Beal, Marilyn Henrion, Pat Hickman, the late Diane Itter, Gyongy Laky, Norma Minkowitz, Sheila O'Hara and the late Bob Stocksdale are on view.  A very interesting and useful feature of the new MAD museum is "Collection Interactive" a 57-inch interactive plasma screen on the third floor; the entire collection is displayed in miniature on a grid; the visitor may touch an image and details about that piece will be displayed. Bravo!

Included among the 43 pieces accepted by the jurors of this 20th biennial exhbition are works by artist-Friends Jeanne Beck, Emily Dvorin, Andrea Graham, Cindy Hickok, Stephen Johnson, Ed Bing Lee, Ayelet Lindenstrauss Larsen, Dana Romalo Andrews and Kathy Weaver.
