NL architects have been working together since 1997 and realised a wide variety of provocative and humorous projects: from a vase for Cor Unum (Den Bosch) to the new shop layout for Mandarina Duck (Paris). They are now working on a commission for the Groninger Forum, a new eye catcher in the eponymous city that will combine public library, cinema, historical museum and other functions in the city’s central square.

Signed by the likes of Lucian Freud, Damien Hirst and David Hockney, the petition says the two 16th Century works have “inspired generations”. The national galleries of Scotland and London hope to raise £50m to save Diana and Actaeon by December 31. If they are successful, the second painting Diana and Callisto will also be offered for sale. Both of the paintings are being sold by the Duke of Sutherland. His price is £50m per painting a third of the estimated open market value.

Michal Macku (*1963), Czech photographer creates his works using his own photographic technique named Gellage. The technique consists of transfer the exposed and fixed photographic emulsion from its original base on paper. This transparent and plastic gelatin substance makes it possible to reshape and reform the original images, changing their relationships and endowing them with new meanings during the transfer. The finished work gives a compact image with a fine surface structure. Created on photographic quality paper, each Gellage is a highly durable print eminently suited for collecting and exhibiting.
