Blue Prints: The Sacred Circuit
Sep 30, 1981
Description:
While in residence at Western Front, Richard Purdy presented Blue Prints: The Sacred Circuit, a series of six dances based on blueprints from selected temples, earthworks, and natural formations from religious sites across Eastern and Western faiths. Using sand, Purdy mapped out these architectural plans on the floor of the Grand Luxe Hall and activated the symbols with his body.
Western Front is a non-profit artist-run centre in Vancouver.
