infoimages of the moment of returning Gips collection to KABK As a part of my graduation show I wanted to bring back together the remaining plaster collection of the KABK. As a prt of this I requested to loan 4 plaster sculptures that used to belong the the KABK from the 1900s-1970s. In the 70s they were taken by the Allard Pierson collection to Amsterdam to save them from being destroyed. I requested to loan these pieces that used to be housed in the KABK and bring them back to where they used to stand 100 years ago. I worked with Hizkia and initiated it to take place. The figures were returned to the room where they used to stand 100 years ago and placed upon the original pedestals that I had uncovered from a hidden basement and restored to be used again. I recorded the process of them being transported, the clip is an extract from this day.

Excavation of Gips collection den haag allardpierson.nl/blog/bijzondere-gipsen-beelden-in-amsterdam-en-den-haag/ I want to piece together a view of the remaining plaster collection that used to be the significant feature of the Royal Academy of Art The Hague up until the 1960s. The collection was made up of over 6000 pieces from across Europe and now only a small handful are known to remain in the academy here today. There is very little report about where the plaster collection ended up, a few pieces were saved by the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam, and a few pieces remain until today in the family homes of graduates and professors from the 1960s. Articles from the 60s-80s which mention this moment are very sparse, they mention the removal and destruction of the plaster collection, but the published information doesn’t give any further view as to what happened in 1964. After talks with a professor in London and alumni from the 1960s I’ve managed to piece together a view of where fragments of the smashed plaster collection have come to rest. These ongoing conversations that I am having are to try to get a bigger picture of this moment of destruction in the 60s and address it today. I want to tell the story and the relational aspects that shape it along the way are what intersst me. In uncovering this story, I come to see it is at a time when a lot of these stories could be lost forever if not addressed at this moment when a great deal of the alumni from the 1960s have passed away in the past years. I would like to share this with them and a wider audience.

Interventions with a rock den Haag jegensentevens.nl/2020/06/the-rock-talk-project/ https://hgtomirosa.com/archive/rock-talks.html For this project I worked with a concrete boulder that I created at the start of the Covid-19 panademic. When the lockdown started here in The Netherlands I began to transport this “rock” across the city by hand to a different site every few weeks. I would leave it in the public space outside houses, museums and parks. As the rock started to gain the public attention and interest as to whats it purpose was people started to request the presence of the rock in their neighborhoods, or outside their galleries. This was a way of them almost grasping the artwork while very much shaping the project. The photo below is from the series of “rock talk” events that I worked on with a group of young artist initiatives. In the first two of these gatherings we began to discuss how to continue collectively after the corona crisis. The rock was a space for a discourse that included the artsit community alongside the everyday public that passed by. To the right is a photo of a publication that I made to conclude the project, it included the dialogues between me and the public from the whole of the project. The publication was then distributed between everyone who encountered the rock, in the neighborhoods where the rock had been present and the galleries that had hosted it.

2021Webcam series Russia St Petersburg Heden den haag This series questions the role of painting and the role of the landscape as a source. I have been working in a way that shows my close relationship to painting and observation of how the notion of a romantic landscape has changed. Traditionally romantic painters would search for a landscape that tended towards an everyday scene showing the balanced relationship that man had with the landscape. Working from live webcam images and painting from there as a source gives the initial idea of a digital age. Within the webcams chosen for the series the geographical location is not of any significance to me, the aesthetic quality draws out the mundane of these locations with their everyday scenes. There is a disconnection from the landscape as a source, and disconnection from the process of painting within the works.
