A leading part of the ferociously fashionable East London art scene, White Cube Hoxton Square, the first of White Cube's two galleries, is invariably filled with some of the world's most cutting-edge art. Owner Jay Jopling is as A-list as the artists he collects. Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Antony Gormley, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Gilbert and George and his former wife Sam Taylor-Wood are all represented and their works shown at the two galleries and beyond. In 2007, notable exhibitions included Damien Hirst's 'Beyond Belief', the Chapman Brothers' dinosaurs in the courtyard of the Royal Academy and Tracey Emin and Sam Taylor-Wood at the 52nd Venice Biennale. Occasionally, for really large exhibitions (like Gilbert & George's Jack Freak Pictures), artworks are spread across the two White Cube galleries at Hoxton Square and at Mason's Yard. Head down to this Hoxton Square venue for the opening nights of new shows to enjoy free beer with the cream of London's starving young artists.
