Space Whale LLC hasn't added a story.

The Pier Group (responsible for The Space Whale in 2016, Embrace at Burning Man in 2014, and The Ship and Pier in 2011 and 2012) introduce our newest sculpture for Burning Man 2019: Head Maze.

Head Maze is a 40 foot mediating mind, resting on one hand and ripping its face off to reveal a crystalline stained glass being. Inside of the mind is an immaculate interactive labyrinth of our subconscious and dreams. It's a massive collaboration dedicated to the complexities of cognition, our common struggle between body and mind, nature and nurture and our persistently fluctuating perception of self. A series of hidden doors in the mouth, wrists and head open into a 4 story, 18 room maze.

 

Each 10 x 8 foot modular room creates a unique space dedicated to the nature of our minds, our struggles with being and the weird and fanciful process of dreaming. An interactive participatory playground hidden inside a beautiful monumental mind.

Head Maze is our attempt to help everyone who struggles with their mind know that they are not alone, that we struggle too, and it’s ok to feel a little mad in this society. The Head Maze is being built by an incredible army of dedicated artists of all skill levels. And we can only do this with your help!

Head Maze will premiere at Burning Man in 2019 then find a permanent home around California/Nevada.

At the moment we have been lucky to raise a healthy $60,000 of our $190,000 goal. While we've been building this project in earnest, the most difficult challenge we will face is funding this sculpture. And this is where we need YOU! We did not receive a grant from Burning Man, big art is hard enough without the additional burden of raising funds. Your donation, regardless of size helps us to keep building and to keep sharing our art. Here is a high-level breakdown of the associated costs need to build this piece. 

Head Maze Budget

Will you help us make the Head Maze real? Please take a look at the rewards and choose one that works for you. Your donation will bring us one step closer to finishing this dream project and sharing it with the world. We have a giant team and your donation will give all of us a big smile :).

Who lives in the mind? What is it trying to share with us? We want to share Head maze with you. Lets cherish and care, let's discover and dare, let's do it together. Thank you for your time and your donation to our grand idea, the Head Maze.
