Grondsteen / Foundation Stone

10/01/2026 – 15/02/2026

Finissage event: 15 februari
With, amongst others, a talk by Lex ter Braak

Location: Pictura Dordrecht



A foundation stone is the first stone laid in a building and forms the base on which the building rests. In Grondsteen, we approach artefacts as the foundation stones of society.

These objects tell stories about extinct organisms and offer a view of the lives of our ancestors. The image we develop on the basis of artefacts, however, is never complete and will always be colored by the perspective of the present.

The artists in Grondsteen take this perspective into account in their work and explore different approaches to and meanings of foundation stones. They view raw materials and archaeological objects as carriers of untold stories. By deforming objects and searching for alternatives, they shift the perspective on the past and question what archaeologists of the future will find from our present time. In the exhibition, fact and fiction merge, and the visitor is challenged to assign alternative meanings to objects in the surrounding environment.

The exhibition Below Control has been amazing

I’ve taken these photos when the exhibition was already closed. At this stage my work had been developing for a little more than a month which means that it was filled with crystals. Check out the project page for more information and a video.

The project was supported by CBK Rotterdam and exhibited by MUSH-ROOM.

Exhibition Below Control by MUSH-ROOM

Until the end of November I am participating in a show by MUSH-ROOM. For this exhibition I made a new installation that can only be experienced by visiting the space. My work is supported by CBK Rotterdam.

The following text is written by the team of MUSH-ROOM;

BELOW CONTROL invites a descent into a space where the pace of everyday life falls away, opening to a quieter rhythm. The exhibition explores surrender not as passivity but as an act of radical connection: to our body, emotions, and the uncertain world we share. We invite you to slow down and feel the tension between surrender and control.

BELOW CONTROL is supported by CBK Rotterdam, Stichting Bekker la-Bastide fonds and Iona stichting.

The poster is designed by Jesse van Meel


Update 15/08/2025

Today I’ve updated my CBK Art Office portfolio which can be found via the following link: https://artoffice.info/kunstenaar/thomas-meijerman/portfolio/. This is a part of the signs that there are some interesting works and beautiful exhibitions coming up so stay tuned!

A while ago I also added another bigger work to my Landmarks serie that I’m proud of. The serie is starting to become bigger and bigger and I am super happy to have the time and energy to work on it! The following images display this new addition;



Connected exhibition photos

The opening of the exhibition Connected has been great. There where many visitors, great music and a beautiful atmosphere. These are some photos of the exhibition.

The interactive exhibition Connected at Frank Taal Galerie invites us to rethink our connections with each other and art.

New forms of communication make it easier than ever to maintain contact, regardless of physical distance. Yet contemporary society seems increasingly divided, with personal contact slowly disappearing. The shift to digital interaction can limit spontaneous encounters and increase the feeling of isolation.

The artists in Connected all work with the theme of connection, each from a unique perspective. Their works offer perspectives on possible connections in contemporary society. This concept is reinforced by the exhibition layout, which makes the experience of connection tangible. For this purpose, the gallery is divided into a space of contact and isolation, each with its own rules and a contrasting atmosphere. In this way, visitors are challenged to connect with the work and each other in new ways.

The participating artists are;
Semâ Bekirović
Zoë d’Hont
Saminte Ekeland
Caren Van Herwaarden
Ildikó Horváth
Marilou van Lierop
Pieter Jan Martyn
Ruben Mols
Vincent Zanni

I am the curator and the gallery is Frank Taal Gallery.
