Crash accompanying the keynote in Canadian Art
“The condition of being alive now is infinite accessible worlds at once. Realities, and priorities, reconfigure by day, by hour, by tab. Now one of arts most vital functions is to crystallize a single world for a fixed and reproducible duration.” – Alexandra Molotkow

VICE / Creators Project: This Makeover Artist Dismantles Traditional Constructs of Beauty
“During the annual art world bacchanal, amidst tanned, toned Miami bodies, the opportunity to become someone or something else, if only for a moment, is a welcome respite. ‘Outward transformation is not the goal of the project. The goal is to affect people’s psychology, and makeup is just a tool to do so,’ Prince says.”

ARTSY: An Artist Is Giving Fairgoers Radical Makeovers At PULSE
“In our society, the ‘makeover’ mandate is generally uncontested—the goal is to look better, and to class up. But imagine you waltz into a beauty parlor and, veering from convention, you offer a fearless, laissez-faire ‘you know what, do whatever you want.’ And now, imagine that your first stop with your new look is an art fair.”

“Walter Phillips Gallery is pleased to present the group exhibition things you can’t unthink, featuring four female artists, Sara Cwynar, Eunice Luk, Virginia Lee Montgomery and Erica Prince. things you can’t unthink reflects the inconsistencies and contradictions of philosophical fields – new materialism and object-oriented ontology – which are still in flux. Works included speak to innovation, craft, history and science, as well the use of artistic materials – clay, paint, found objects, and precious metals – and the way in which they are employed in the making of artworks.” – Peta Rake, curator

Banff Centre: things you can’t unthink Catalog Essay, Thinking Makes It So
“What an intoxicating idea, that planets could exist outside of the parameters that typically govern the behavior of all other things in our universe. And further, that they could outnumber obedient planets, and possess the will to determine their proper fate. Prince’s imaginative take on this astrological phenomenon is communicated through her whimsical use of material: her irregular cages, brass ornaments and colourful tubes, all halves reflected back onto themselves to create a mirrored image that in turn is a representation of a celestial body as a whole. The installation results in an effervescent evocation of a kind of wonder.” – Natasha Chaykowski

Daily Serving: Interview with Erica Prince
“Canadian artist Erica Prince would not appreciate the Mattel playhouse I had as a kid, filled with floral furniture, plastic appliances, and female dolls to ensure that the household was running smoothly. Prince’s version, recently on view in Philadelphia, is my playhouse’s conceptual opposite—and that’s a wonderful thing.”

Solo Exhibition: Dollhouse @ Vox Populi, Philadelphia
Dollhouses are understood as gendered spaces for speculation and idealization. They are interpretive play spaces for the enactment of social and identity constructs. In her second exhibition at Vox Populi, Prince presents the dollhouse as an expanded psychological space: unpredictable, fragmentary, and unapologetically tied to it’s feminine perspective. A large scale cutaway dollhouse exposes empty rooms ripe with potential and a collection of drawings reveal fragile glimpses into the lives that could exist there. Ultimately, Prince continues to question the lifestyle design choices that we make, individually and as a culture, and how they reflect our states of being, our essential and constructed identities and our hopes and dreams for the future.

Pitchfork: Natalie Prass Gets an Unnerving Makeover in Her “Why Don’t You Believe in Me” Video
“Natalie Prass has shared the video for ‘Why Don’t You Believe in Me’ from her recently released self-titled debut record. Co-directed by Erica Prince and Tiona McClodden, it shows Prass slowly revealing her ‘real’ face through a slightly unnerving makeup routine. ‘The song is about self doubt,’ Prass told NPR. ‘So we thought it was appropriate that the video relate to the idea of self examination and layers that both distort and reveal.’ ”

NPR Music: Natalie Prass, ‘Why Don’t You Believe In Me?’
“Everyone’s been there before — that dark part of the brain where fear and doubt and a thousand unanswered questions reside, doing their dirty work to sabotage every attempt at happiness. In her latest video, directed by Erica Prince and Tiona McClodden, singer Natalie Prass finds herself trapped deep inside her own head, battling a broken heart and the uncertainty it’s left in its wake.”

Solo Exhibition: To Sit Rather Than Slip In @ Vox Populi, Philadelphia
A female protagonist has designed all the essential aspects of her life- minimal prototypes with subtly suggested uses in the realms of spirituality, sexuality, self-reflection and beauty. In this exhibition Prince continues to postulate the possibilities of the future, but the focus has shifted from architecture to objects of a more domestic and personal nature. The circle re-appears throughout the exhibition, a reminder of the self and the universe in various states of wholeness, balance, and understanding.
