Lesli Robertson returned to the DMA this week to aid in the installation of Woven Records, the Museum’s first community partner response art project designed and executed by a single artist. Last fall, Lesli guided sixteen community groups in the creation of small concrete collages. She then wove over 500 concrete collages into strips that form a larger textile-based art installation that will be on view in the Center for Creative Connections February 7-May 23, 2010.
Each section is laid out on a table before it is mounted to the exhibition wall.
John Lendvay, a DMA preparator, aligns each section as it is mounted.
A covered opening allows interior access to the wall, which is hollow.
Lance Lander, another DMA preparator, has the lucky job of securing the mounts inside the wall.
Lesli is interviewed for footage that will be available to CW 33, Fox 4, and NBC 5.
