Frackin' Art: The Fine Art of Hydraulic Fracturing

The Fine Art of Hydraulic Fracturing
The Graffiti Gallery, Oil City PA
exhibit coordinator: George Cooley

Exploiting the Earth’s resources for energy is part of what humans do. Recently, horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies have demonstrated great promise in extracting natural gas from deep underground. These technologies rupture deep rock formations with the high-pressure injection of a mixture of water, sand and chemical additives, liberating the gas within. Fracturing these layers of rock is commonly called Hydrofracking or Fracking.

As with most energy extraction methods, controversy flourishes with hydrofracking. We need the energy… people need jobs & money… there are dangers… humans take shortcuts… tycoons abandon played out sites… etc. Fracking is no different, and has plenty of arguments coming from many perspectives.

Oil City, PA is in the middle of a large shale field being fracked called Marcellus. Because of our geography the local art community felt it was appropriate to invite artists to display their ideas on Fracking.

Philadelphia September 7th - Rally to Stop Dirty Gas Drilling


© Aaron Nutter, Gas Mask Protester

September 7th rain or shine, more than 1000 people marched down Broad Street in Philadelphia to protest the Drilling in Pennsylvania. The energy that was in the air was unbelievable. People of all races and backgrounds showed up. Some in extreme getups, others just in their ordinary clothes. With a police escort starting on Arch street, the group marched around Center City.
