LOCATION: North America: Entrance11The Elephant Group (1998)Peter WoytukBronzeSponsored by Bob and Bonnie MeekerThe Zoo’s largest sculpture greets visitors at the main entrance.Designed to signify arrival and generate feelings of excitementand anticipation, this arrangement of life-sized elephantsculptures creates an environment where the negative space andthe relationship between pieces is as important as the individualsculptures themselves. Distilled into stylized forms, the sculptureresults in a rhythmic interplay of concave and convex masses.2Spalanzani’s Generator (2006)Pete BeemanPainted Steel, Solar Panel and BicyclesSponsored by Bob and Bonnie MeekerThe artist was able to marry a strong visual aesthetic, aparticipatory, kinetic function and two alternative power sourcesin Spalanzani’s Generator.

The sculpture’slink to “green” technology and the sustainable use of resourcessupports the Zoo’s conservation mission. The name of thesculpture comes from a 19th century opera, the Tales of Hoffman,in which a mad scientist named Spalanzani dupes the hero intofalling in love with a robot woman.323The Green Dragonfly (2011)Mike DurhamRecycled MaterialsMade possible through a gift to the NC Zoo Society byPamela Potter and De Potter4Set in a pond designed to filter oil and water run-off fromthe parking lots, The Green Dragonfly reflects the on Zoo’scommitment to protect its green spaces.4Sum of the Parts (1998)Dempsey CalhounPainted Steel and FiberglassSponsored by Bob and Bonnie MeekerSum of the Parts celebrates the diversity of life on earth.
