Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Of all the large-scale, eye-catching public art coming to Miami during Art Basel week, the wackiest has got to be the giant, psychic dog set to overtake Lords South Beach hotel. The work, which we first told you about in October, is a 60-foot tall black dog figure with evil-looking laser eyes, and it’ll tell the fortunes of hotel guests and passers-by.
Renderings of the project, like the one at right, looked so cartoonish that we almost didn’t believe Gypsy the big black dog could exist in real life. But the installation’s going up right now, and the photos Lords sent us look, well, exactly like the original plans. That is one serious hellhound.
