99 Iconic Images at the Gallery of Honour of Dutch photography: a hot spot exploring the radical moments and transformations through 180 years of photography. Het Nederlands Fotomuseum is one of the first to lift photography from the past into a contemporary situation, where it thus reflects on the heritage of photographs and the future forms they may take. In a series of photographs from daguerreotypes to staged photos, it tells the story of Dutch photographic heritage and development from 1842 to the present. Exciting innovations and bubbles of creatively voluptuous ideas take root in this exhibition. 99 Images and one empty frame. A frame to let the viewer add in their subjectivity. What has been left out of the picture? A must-see collection exploring complex histories and playful techniques, below we share our favorite photographers to absorb while you’re there.

You never know what to expect when you try to step into an artist's mind – especially, when their sound is as eclectic and multi-layered as Maeve's. So, as the London-based musician lets us into her home filled with larger-than-life art pieces and towering stacks of books crowning a grand piano, a fuller picture beings to form. Constantly morphing her interpretation of pop into hauntingly alluring musical universes, Maeve first caught the audience's ear (and eye) with her EP Caravaggio in a Corner Store, and is now continuing to forge her own path within and beyond the genre. With references from Midsommar to Funkadelic, Maeve's artistry is full-bodied and intriguing, always reflecting her immaculate attention to detail and quick-witted vision. Compelled to learn more, we sat down with the artist in the space of magic-making (namely, her home studio) to chat about growing up in the Cayman Islands, inspirations and current projects – with her Great Dane as an honourable guest.
