I am back again with all the things I found during the month that didn’t quite fit into it’s own blog post, but that I found interesting about mazes and labyrinths. The news archive is below.
A historically important Labyrinth found in India
A classical 15 circuit circular labyrinth was found in Boramani grassland region of Solapur district. The labyrinth is thought to be over 2000 years old. You can read about the find in the Times of India or watch this video with subtitles on.
I found a new maze movie poster
I saw this poster and knew I had to include it here. The documentary After Work from 2023 has a movie poster that features a hedge maze. The doc is about the future of the world when nobody has to work because technology has taken the jobs. This might be one of The 10 Best Maze Themed Movie Posters if I re-evaluate the list in the future !
Another new Labyrinth song
Last month I found a labyrinth song and my algorithm took over and sent me this new music by Showing Teeth, called Labyrinth. It’s metal.
Paw Patrol maze in Argentina
I was at the mall in Buenos Aires, Argentina and saw this Paw Patrol maze on the walkway in the mall. “Help rubble get to his friends”
Check out this sandstone quarry in Spain
Named Liticha, Pedreres de s'Hostal and located in Menorca, Spain on the Balearic Islands, this sandstone quarry is now a tourist site that includes a very cool labyrinth. You can plan a trip on their website. You can find some cool photos of it on streetview from Google Maps.
A maze with levels and conditional doors !
A puzzle designer created a conditional maze that layers multiple mazes on top of each other by using colored doors ! Very nice concept. You can find the maze download, and other puzzles on his puzzle page.
A maze made of thousands of books from the past !
This giant book maze, called aMAZEme was a temporary pop-up art installation in London at the Royal Festival Hall during the Southbank Centre’s Festival of the World way back in 2012. The walls of the maze were made from 250K stacked books placed by volunteers. The maze was not difficult - it was made in the shape of a fingerprint, it is a maze that would be difficult to get through for many of us. I would stop and look for something to read ! I would stop and find something to read. Check out the book maze being made:
Americans Disagree On The Definition Of Art
I stumbled upon this article by 538: Americans Disagree On The Definition Of Art. If you don’t want to read it (but you should), here is a summary with some commentary.
In general Americans do not think Modern art is art. A majority of Americans think they can replicate some specific modern works of art, and that means it isn’t art to them. Do readers think they can make the mazes I make ? Do they think it is maze art as I do ? I think some of you certainly can. And if you do reach out ! I love to be inspired.
The Assiniboine Zoo Light Maze
Kids will love this Christmas light maze in Winnipeg, Canada. Plan your trip on the zoo’s website !
A Beach Maze from Miami Art Week (2023)
Miami Art Week takes place each year in Miami during early December. Back in 2023 in featured a work called 'MAZE: JOURNEY THROUGH THE ALGORITHMIC SELF' by Sebastian Errazuriz. I love how the color of the walls of the maze perfectly matched the color of the sand as if this is naturally part of the landscape. And of course any maze or labyrinth that has a large center is always appreciated as it can be used for rest/meditation or a yoga class like in the video above. Sebastian Errazuriz, the artist of the piece, is NYC based and has a wide variety of works/styles to explore.
