About this book

This book has been published on the occasion of the presentation of the Bonnefanten Award for Contemporary Art BACA 2014 to Laura Lima and in conjuncton with the exhibitions at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires. 'The fifth floor' is a groundbreaking exhibition which creates an innovative dialogue with museum practice, specially developed by Laura Lima for the Bonnefantenmuseum. The museum is 'brought to life' by the presence of human participants in the artwork. The exhibition includes a wide range of art pieces. The museum is presented as a location for the production of new works and ideas by means of a tailor shop, where two tailors create 'custom suits' for wooden frames. The works created in this way are installed as portraits in the neighbouring rooms. Exhibition: Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht, the Netherlands (26.09.2014-11.01.2015) / Museo de Arte Moderno, Buenos Aires, Argentina (12.02-24.05.2015).
