This spacious gallery strategically situated opposite White Cube in Hoxton Square opened in 2007 and is run by co-directors Richard Graham, Adam Waymouth and Alex Dellal. Dellal adds cache and connections to the gallery - he's the son of a billionaire property developer Guy Dellal, his godfather is Mario Testino and his sisters are model Alice and shoe designer Charlotte. The art work is contemporary with shows by emerging artists covering everything from wall paintings and collage, to watercolours, sculpture and photography. Theirs is an ad hoc approach when it comes to exhibition planning which means shows aren't scheduled in advance and it's best to check back regularly to see what's going on. The gallery has two halls, a screening room and several smaller spaces as well as a bar and its own newspaper.
