78 Miles and 500,000 Knots of Twine Are Billowing Above Downtown Columbus

Floating above downtown Columbus, Ohio, is a new sculpture by artist Janet Echelman. Titled Current, the massive soft fiber installation spans 229 feet long and stretches 126 feet in the air at its highest point. It appears as an abstract cloud hovering over Gay and High Streets. At the right angle, it has an almost iridescent effect that makes the experience of walking through the city unexpectedly magical.

Echelman created the sculpture using 78 miles of twine and constructed it using more than 500,000 knots. This makes it the longest piece of public art in Columbus, and the artist’s first permanent sculpture to be suspended over a street.

La follia non ha limiti. 21 artisti di rilievo internazionale e 15 installazioni site-specific inedite raccontano i legami tra follia e arte.

I 21 artisti chiamati a partecipare sono parte di questa follia :Carlos Amorales, Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir / Shoplifter, Massimo Bartolini, Gianni Colombo, Petah Coyne, Ian Davenport, Janet Echelman, Fallen Fruit / David Allen Burns e Austin Young, Lucio Fontana, Anne Hardy, Thomas Hirschhorn, Alfredo Jaar, Alfredo Pirri, Gianni Politi, Tobias Rehberger, Anri Sala, Yinka Shonibare, Sissi, Max Streicher, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu.

Nella più ampia accezione di “follia”, non di rado sinonimo di “creatività fantastica”, l’arte si è sempre ritrovata a proprio agio ma è soprattutto con i primi studi psicanalitici e neurologici d’inizio secolo scorso che il rapporto fra disturbi psichici e arte si è fatto più intenso e consapevole. La follia, come l’arte, rifiuta gli schemi stabiliti, fugge da ogni rigido inquadramento, si ribella alle costrizioni catalogatorie; la percezione del mondo è il primo segnale di instabilità, il primo contatto fra realtà esterna e cervello, fra verità fisica e creatività poetica, fra leggi ottiche e disturbi neurologici. Nel volume che accompagna l’originale esposizione romana, 21 artisti internazionali sono chiamati a partecipare a questo progetto e sono parte di questa follia, che prende forma attraverso 15 installazioni site-specific inedite in una narrazione complessa, soggettiva, obliqua; così il genio e l’estro creativo si espandono come le coloratissime colate di pigmento sulle scale dell’astrattista inglese Ian Davenport, o modificano la percezione dello spazio, come l’ambiente di Gianni Colombo (1970). Le diverse opere d’arte invadono con una inarrestabile potenza espressiva ogni ambiente accessibile: dai neon del cileno Alfredo Jaar sino all’immersione totalizzante di Fallen Fruit, duo formato dagli statunitensi David Allen Burns e Austin Young.

Artist Research

Janet Echlman

Earthtime 1.26 - by Janet Echelman an American sculptor. The monumental, floating form changes with the wind and weather. She got the concept from the scientific data sets of the 2010 Chilean earthquake and tsunami and also from the idea that we are all connected between the earth's natural system. The sculpture is soft and constructed from two types of technical fiber, making it lightweight enough to lace directly into existing structures without extra reinforcement.

SPECTRUM: what i never thought about the song is that i never knew death was sexless in so many different ways than 'seeing it' has to offer about a thought (the way of dying can be like) which can alter expanses of that if you were to think like a made up person than belief itself that can actually be if 'everything' can do it, you're looking at the world as if you're never meant to live but you're meant to die like that as how you lived, and you heard that somewhere else that sex doesn't feel painless but it is meant to be felt, and i honestly put my concern over Jeff Buckley like that in every single which way that i departed from his idyllics and went straight to myself instead that i loved lived than lived loved and the way of thought of sex is dying has nothing to do with the way i believe love is lived in my passion for the arts being in touch with the way i think than believe is as if i never had sex and it should, words are never forgiven but never forgotten but i think and it is, is subjective to the ways of the Prophet M,mad (PBUH) that i knew of that i came back with a profound belief to attain fame as i should than claiming wealthless, lackless, soul-hearted argument i can never win if i did and 'saying i can never go anywhere' is so numb knowing latin is on my side to saying, whatever i made up is me and i said is me, pretty much the way i always dreamed of my partner to look at me like that but he is the same like my fanbase than the art of meeting somebody in the middle of a college arts (where i am based) made me to be a profound student in a body of a universe where my rights are stable being a muslim woman to an agnostic nobody, like i get along with them pretty well as me being agnostic than a muslim because my hijab, or any islamic modesty does not cover me or conceal me of sin or like of if you meet me parallel than is to every artist wearing you, my last question in the song is 'where will you find me?' that will alter your life forever by song bias to your upbringing that is like me, i don't even celebrate the song but i am pious of like the air made to breathe than it is where you believe where air went next after trees give up, there is nothing i can do about my innocence when i learn what is about my future that hurt me and your intuition tells the story, like i said in the beginning, i talk in gnosticism. i have autism and seperation from my friends in hollywood eternal in my imagination have their reason to wonder why i am not physically with them by law of heart and what follows next, i recede pride upon my status and hopes of making one sister never again, make sense is why but a brother's man is not even devout enough to look at his wife or daughter relevant is nothing to his piety to what sound can do life after love, i reference heavily my world in death of the arts, so i speak but not sing of that like the clarity of the singer/songwriter has an attitude to defy broadway in loving the unknown but law of loving the known is attitude remorse to why than of if, i talk heavily about Kusama's work by wildfire, Echelman by disgrace in my lyrics, Navarro by presence, Eman by soul, Missoni by intuition, Tancredi by war, Munari by emotion, Stozl by physical reality, Klee by heart attack of reference to Demi Lovato's career who i upstaged by world break, so i lived as her knowing i was a heavy fan of myself at the same time knowing her before i met Seabra by damnation, Memphis by mandate making my way into why i am a Quant relative to why photoshop existing for newer elements causing an uproar in the 60's relative to fashion pseudo world break by the beauty industry being part of her legacy making her so influential at the time to seeing now, a Janis Joplin being why she never made it so high with her references to soul and sound before 'her time' catapulted into hiding which i can say she is still alive, Spectrum does not give a quality of sound which i playfully reject Jeff Buckley along the way by forcefully knowing who his discography is to him 'making me'-
