WW is an artists' run space in a converted Victorian terraced house in Hackney, East London.

WW gallery sits within an elegant, Victorian terraced house, overlooking the green fields of Hackney Downs. Its quiet domestic setting is deceptive however, for since its opening in September 2008 it has been running a series of fearless and ambitious shows, featuring an eclectic array of work that runs from the beautiful and ornate to the grotesque and unsettling.

Breaking away from the tendency of their East End counterparts to show work with a dry and introspective concern with theory, concept and the politics of the art industry, WW looks outward by staging shows centered around wider social and cultural themes. The result is often dark, frequently humorous and at once democratic and challenging.

WW’s curators make full and imaginative use of the unique architecture of the space, which is flooded with natural daylight from both the front and back. More than just a sterile display case, the gallery is a hub of creative energy, where both works and visitors spill out on to the street and into the back garden at openings, and which has so far borne witness to everything from music and performance to pagan feasting.

WW is run by artist/curators Debra Wilson and Chiara Williams.
