hi there! I’m UCL MS Student Environment and Sustainable Development. Our group of 6 ppl doing a project related to Hackney Wick, we visit the area often to do surveys and contact different communities there. As part of our study project we are looking at the use of open spaces use and youth involvement in art, in the context of the Olympics legacy. We think that your comments and suggestions would be really helpful and could add some great insight to our project.
Thank you and best regards!

The world is a faster changing place than ever and although it saddens part of me to see the qualities of such a raw environment slowing fading and being changed this appears to be part of a familiar pattern.
Saying this it has inspired many many individuals and however negative the recent and on going actions may seem i believe problems of this nature can be used to our advantage to change our lives and others. Just as initially industrial wasteland was seen to be and used as something so much more. Creativity is the breakfast of superheroes.

It’s unbelievable how even after graffiti had been swallowed by propaganda and with that huge exhibition at Tate Modern they can still rub the graffiti from the walls and using the same old discourse… Such a shame that in 2009 in London (!!!!) we still face this old mentality from people…

we’ve made a lot of marks over the area that are all gone – we know it’s transient but this represents the end of something, this isn’t just about graff.

graffiti will always be transient and should probably always be so. all this preservation of banksys toy stuff is sentimental b.s. i used to spray in the early 90’s – all gone now, so what? sometimes you would spend hours waiting in the cold to sneak into a train yard and the train would never even run, just go straight to the buff. nevermind.

go get some paint and make your own mark on it.

Awww. I feel for you, but all good things must come to an end so that new good things can start.

Love back at ya. I’m sticking with LDN despite the creative “clean-up” – fresh white walls for the graffers, game on. Will post the results.xx

Wonder if the idea would catch on to “clean up” the gouvernments act, instead of hiding behind the “Evil’ness” that is graffiti artists? Another reason to get out of this twisted Country and go live in Berlin…now there’s a colourful place.
Great post
