Twitter Q&A with artist Sam Peacock
Following his first UK sold out solo show in 2013, Sam Peacock is back with Fractured this March 5th. Focusing on the forecasted effects of fracking (hydraulic fracturing) across the UK, with each of the 52 new artworks relating to a proposed fracking site.
Both sides of fracking need to be discussed, and now! With the UK running out of natural resources, hydraulic fracturing has been championed as the new energy, as we struggle with storing wind and solar power. Fracking produces 300,000 barrels of energy a day with one well being processed up to 18 times making it an economic argument, but always countered with the environmental and the fear of potential dangers. This March, Curious Duke Gallery will wade into the conversation hosting both parties in Fractured.
You can send your questions to @SamPeacockArt and @CuriousDuke during the live Q&A, or beforehand to ensure that your questions are answered by emailing them to [email protected] with Q&A as the subject line. You may want to ask about the process behind the art pieces, or why should the arts cross with politics? Why as an artist are you concerned with fracking? Please note that questions deemed inappropriate will not be answered.
You can follow the conversation with #fractured 7:30-8 Monday 2nd March.
