Mark Lungley started his gallery Lungley Gallery modestly in 2018 in the cellar of a pub in Dalston – but 25 rapid fire shows made adventurous use of it, including David Harrison’s exceptionally direct ‘Fuck Me’, Lana Locke expressing her milk on film, and Brian Dawn Chalkley

Holtermann Fine Art opened on Cork Street in late 2019, just ahead of the challenges of the Covid era. The owner, Marianne Holtermann, is a Norwegian as cheerful as she’d need to be, given that timing.
