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.
