Tate Modern stages the first UK performance of artist Lee Mingwei’s Our Labyrinth. Performed continuously from morning to evening in the Turbine Hall over three weeks. Our Labyrinth transforms the simple act of sweeping into a contemplative, gestural performance, bringing a sense of ritual into the gallery. Two dancers with bells tied to their ankles shape the grains into a series of labyrinthine paths. The work is inspired by the artist’s experience of visiting ancient temples in the countryside in Myanmar, where paths leading from huts to temples are swept by volunteers. Guy Bell/Shutterstock
