More about Beecholme


Beecholme is also the first postwar "mixed development" housing scheme in Hackney, with a mixture of houses and flats with the taller block having five storeys and containing one-bedroom and bedsit accommodation. It is featured in Volume 15 of Hackney History and was the site of Beecholme House, the family home of Maj. John André (d. 1780), who was executed as a British spy in the American War of Independence.

Heliotrope is an exhibition where artists are invited to deface, work into, and manipulate current political propaganda from Labour, Conservative and the Liberal Democrat party promotional material and billboard posters used during the 2010 general election. The resulting show will display these amended posters as well as topical material from the duration of the election. The consequent satirical archive will infer no intentional p! olitical leaning other than the collective voice of the work itself.
