Build Time

DEFINITION BUILD TIME (noun):

the time taken to put together something such as a new building or a model, or to create a new version of something 

Build Time, at Prairie Underground, featured the Third Phase of Tying/Untying alongside a selection of new works in fibers and on paper. All of the fibers materials in this show are reclaimed from Prairie Underground, “a socially progressive apparel manufacturer committed to designing modern uniforms that evoke sensuality in daily self-expression.” Prairie Underground  designed Prince’s performance costume for Tying/Untying.

Tying/Untying fittingly culminated at Prairie Underground in its third phase, a large textile wall sculpture which links both Prince’s 1,000 Paintings of Love series which points to the individuality and importance of each of us in this life and Prince’s Remnant Relationships, a series of hand-woven wall sculptures made from remnant materials.
