Columbus to install floating sculpture downtown this summer

Details: The work of artist Janet Echelman will hang from downtown buildings up to 126 feet in the air.

• The 229-foot sculpture will feature a mind-boggling 78 miles of twine crafted into a half-million knots to create a "blue and red cloudlike abstraction," per the Columbus Museum of Art.

Of note: The project is supported by Edwards Cos., which is developing several properties at the intersection and wants to turn the area into an "artistic hub."

What they're saying: "I hope that Current captures that idea of interconnectedness and creates a space where people feel a sense of community and sanctuary," Echelman described to the art museum.
