About Andrew Castrucci
The artist was born in 1961 and raised in the proximity of West Hoboken and Cliffside Park, spanning New Jersey’s industrial expanses of the lower Hudson River. From 1984–86, he ran the A&P Gallery with his brother Paul. In 1986, Castrucci co-founded Bullet Space, an urban artist collaborative. Creating a print shop there, he was instrumental in producing over 10,000 silk-screen posters by a wide range of artists, writers, and thinkers.Â
Castrucci curates shows and publishes artist books—most recently the Bulletin newspaper edition #10, and Shoot the Pump, co-curated with Lee Quiñones and Alexandra Rojas.
He has been working on a film, The River Speaks: Urban Angling in the East River, where life becomes art. His other films include Struck by the Hand (2000) and The Resistance of Memory (2005).
