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.
