They do not thunder past, but stand in a quiet procession, projecting an uncannily elephantine presence. The Great Elephant Migration, a free, traveling public-art exhibition, brings 100 life-size sculptures of Asian elephants to the Mall between Arlington and Fairfield Streets through September 13. Installed as though moving east toward Boston Common, the herd is at once an environmental warning, an occasion for wonder and curiosity, and a persuasive instance of art made genuinely public.
