Mazes and Maps: An Exhibition Inspired by Digital and Analog Gaming

“Mazes and Maps” has opened in person (and online) at the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, 4318 Gallatin St., Hyattsville, Maryland. Many of those who sheltered in isolation or in a small group this pandemic year played games for entertainment and socialization. “Mazes and Maps,” on view through July 11, celebrates the importance of the game while putting focus on a particular aspect: cartography. In this eightperson exhibition, each artist has uniquely interpreted game maps through a balance of projection, labeling and symbology. Some works are pure whimsy, but others are reflective and socially acute. The first weekend’s in-person viewings are by appointment only. June 2 to July 11, the public is welcome during regular gallery hours without appointment. Gallery hours are Wednesday and Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. www.pyramidatlantic.org Founded in 1981, Pyramid Atlantic is a nonprofit contemporary art center fostering the creative disciplines of papermaking, printmaking and book arts within a collaborative community. It equips, educates and exhibits in its historic Hyattsville home.
