Fracktured Lives: An Urban & Rural Collective

Limited Edition. Hardcover. It took nearly a decade to bring this remarkable urban/rural art project to fruition. 177 artists, writers, and fracktivists contributed between 2010 and 2020. Contributors are listed below but notably include: John Fekner, Anton Van Dalen, Sue Coe, David Sandlin, Tom McGlynn, Yoko Ono, Ellen Cantarow, Alexandra Rojas, Mike Bernhard, Carlo McCormick, Woody Guthrie, and many others. Printed at Bullet Space (an anarchist squatter community since 1982), a Lower East Side workshop. The work is the result of a tremendous outpouring of work, talent, passion, and the willingness to push for change. The final line of the forward to Your House is Mine reads, "We have taken this opportunity to unite the following people in this collaborative project, as a statement of 'art as a means of resistance.'" That statement continues to drive and define the work of Bulletspace. "A majority of our politicians and elected officials no longer do their appointed jobs. They don't protect our health, safety, well being or quality of life in any substantial way. As engaged citizens we have to step up, as the muckrakers of the early 20th century (such as Ida Tarbell and Upton Sinclair) exposed the excesses of the nascent oil industry and the brutish, destructive power of monopolies."
