elephant sculptures migrate to art basel miami beach

A herd of 100 life-size elephant sculptures, handcrafted by 200 Indigenous artisans from South India, has arrived at Art Basel Miami Beach as part of "The Great Elephant Migration," a global public art and conservation project. The sculptures are made from lantana camara, an invasive plant, and are modeled after individual elephants from the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Organized by Ruth Ganesh and the Coexistence Collective, the installation aims to promote coexistence between humans and wildlife, with proceeds from sculpture sales funding 22 conservation NGOs. The elephants have toured the U.S., appearing in Newport, Rhode Island, Manhattan's Meatpacking District, and now Miami Beach, where they have drawn enthusiastic crowds—and even a reported incident of a couple having sex on one of the sculptures, prompting police patrols.

Concrete cars for coral reefs: Miami's underwater eco-sculpture park takes shape

The first phase of the Reefline project, an underwater sculpture park off the coast of Miami Beach, has been installed with 22 submerged concrete cars created by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich. The sculptures, titled "Concrete Coral" (2025), sit 20 feet below the surface and are designed to support coral regeneration and marine biodiversity. The project was developed by cultural placemaker Ximena Caminos with a masterplan by architect Shohei Shigematsu of OMA, and will expand over ten years to reach seven miles in length. Visitors can access the site via swimming, diving, or electric paddleboards, and a floating marine learning center is anchored nearby during Miami Art Week.
