Pages from The Hackney Wick
Francesca Webernewth came to visit us at the studio to talk about our involvement in Hackney Wick. Francesca is a PhD researcher looking at urban regeneration, public space and community - a comparative analysis of two case studies: Hackney Wick and 'MediaSpree' (East Berlin). Francesca wrote this nice piece on the Eaton Manor Boys which has recently been published in new, quarterly 'THE HACKNEY WICK' newspaper.
Half way through the conversation she produced this curious book mark which is part of a page from Vogue magazine predicting that Hackney Wick will become the 'centre of the cultural universe' (at least in the oppinion of a fashionable Vogue reporter) thanks to an art centre???. The moment Hackney Wick arrived in Vogue has been enshrined in a book mark. I wonder what other everyday products one can think of that map or register the transformation of Hackney Wick.
