Liz Collins, 'KNITTING NATION Phase 15: Weaving Walls,' March 6, 2016

A time-lapse video of the installation process for Liz Collins' 'KNITTING NATION Phase 15: Weaving Walls,' which was on view in the MAD lobby from March 6–21. 'KNITTING NATION 15' was a site-specific installation and live labor performance, and the 15th iteration of Collins' ongoing KNITTING NATION project. The installation turned the museum space into a knitting and weaving factory, while revealing the dynamic and rich relationship between textiles and architecture. The atrium’s open stairwell was transformed into a large tapestry as Collins and her crew wove a continuous soft wall that grew in height as the day progressed.
