Current is a soft fiber sculpture by Janet Echelman, installed in Columbus, Ohio, United States. The work is suspended over High and Gay streets in Downtown Columbus. The sculpture was installed in May 2023. It is intended to represent the changing urban fabric of the city, and is situated around a large redevelopment by Jeff Edwards, who paid for the sculpture.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
