About the Book
The second edition of the ongoing Home-Works project from the artists of Rosalux Gallery explores the theme of Intimacy and how our understanding of what it means has changed due to the fear and chaos due to pandemic and social unrest of recent months. This theme was chosen for our artists by Nicole Soukup, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art and Coordinator of the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, who had this to say on the topic," In the epoch of pandemics and quarantines, we are inviting strangers, co-workers, and distant family members into our homes via video chat. We are locked down with our loved ones and roommates forcing us to connect in ways that seem simultaneously ancient and foreign. Paradoxically, we are encouraged, if not legally forced to barricade ourselves from others beyond the walls of our homes. Where we once sought public intimacy---public transportation, concerts, parks---we are now estranged. The responses to COVID-19, which now has a mortality rate of 7 percent in the US, have laid bare and made raw the inequities capitalism requires to thrive. Love it. Hate it. I don't care. We all have to redefine what intimacy means today and tomorrow."
