Burning Man Art On the Playa and Around the World
Burning Man is the world's greatest concentration of large-scale, visionary and interactive art. But don't just wait until Burning Man to experience it. Our world is filled with such art whether it's been to the Playa or not and whether it's been created by burners or people who have never heard of Burning Man. This page is meant to be a repository of my experiences with those art pieces that speak to the burner soul in each of us. It is organized primarily by geography.
Google Maps Overlay of Burning Man Art Around the World
The best way I know of to find Burning Man art around the world is using this Google Maps overlay, created by Peter Platzgummer, Associate Director of Art Management at Burning Man. The map provides options of what to include, based on geography and whether or not the art is a temporary or permanent installation. It also includes sites of cultural importance to the community. I keep it loaded in my Google Maps app on my phone at all times, both for planning trips and so I can find art to stop in and see when I'm traveling.
Burning Man, Burner and Burner-Adjacent Art in the Default World
I love to fill my default world life with Burning Man art, art by Burner artists and art that awakens the Burner in my soul, even - nay, especially - when the artist has never even heard of Burning Man. Check out the gallery below, arranged geographically, and maybe see the art in-person.
