Andrew Castrucci

Fracktured Lives (2021)

Fracktured Lives is a massive 25-pound book, bound in sheet metal, which comprehensively takes on the massive subject of fracking with a focus on the history of the resistance to this extraction practice in New York State and beyond. The book features 50 screenprints by a diverse and inter-generational selection of artists, a veritable exhibition in an easily unbolted codex form.

Andrew Castrucci (1961) is a multidisciplinary artist, since 1984 he has been living and working in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. His works evoke a temporal uncertainty in a hopelessly romantic way. He captures a primal essence in his portrait and other works like no other.
