The Bonnefantenmuseum has been presenting the
Bonnefanten Award for Contemporary Art (BACA) every two years
since 2000. The award is a tribute to a living artist with an exceptional
oeuvre and a demonstrable influence on other artists – a real artists’
artist. The BACA consists of a sum of 50,000 Euros, a publication and
a solo exhibition in the Bonnefantenmuseum.
The BACA 2014 was awarded unanimously to the Brazilian
artist Laura Lima by the international selection committee for the
2014 edition, comprising: Alfred Pacquement (Honorary Director of
the Centre Pompidou, Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris), Cristiana
Tejo (independent curator, Recife), Ivo Mesquita (director of the
Pinacoteca do Estado, São Paulo) Victoria Noorthoorn (director of the
Museo de Arte Moderno Buenos Aires) and Stijn Huijts (director of the
Bonnefantenmuseum).
L AU R A L I M A
Laura Lima (1971, Governador Valadares, Brazil - Rio de
Janeiro) studied art at the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage and
philosophy at the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. In her
installations, Lima creates a new world and challenges the viewer to
give a new interpretation and explanation of concepts like exhibition,
action, gesture, philosophy, world and art. The artist forces us to look
in a different way, so that we enter a new relationship with what we
see, and find words to name the experience she presents us with.
‘Poetry, reason, meaning, madness, language, existence and
power’ are the keywords Lima uses herself to describe her art. She
manipulates the bodies of people and animals with her ornamental
philosophy - decorating the bodies as it were, and thus giving them
another meaning, which is often experienced as strange, absurd,
amusing, curious and sometimes monstrous.[1]
The opening of the exhibition the fifth floor by BACA laureate Laura
Lima will take place on 26 September from 18.00 to 20.00 in the
Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht. Everyone is welcome!
the fifth floor will be on view until 11.01.2015 in the
Bonnefantenmuseum and will then travel to the Museo de Arte
Moderno Buenos Aires in Argentina.

Contemporary artists treat the
urban context in very different
ways. Ranging from the creation
of autonomous, artistic images of
the city, to querying the current
socio-ecological or economic
situation, to the use of the
urban context as the base of an
artistic, participatory process.
The polarization between city as
' subject ' and the city as ' object
direct ' formed the basis for the
choice of works of art in the
project in CIAP.

Ronny Delrue (B, °1957)
received a arts PhD at StLucas Genth in 2011, with
his research ‘the unguarded
moment. the controlled lack
of control in drawing’. Ronny
Delrue wonders whether, in this
present technological world, the
drawing is still the ideal means
of depicting the turning point
between control and the lack of
control. He explored the drawing
as the perfect way of portraying
the interaction between chance
and reason.
In the solo-exhibition in CIAP –
the first exhibition in the new
CIAP-location - he will present
new work and new insights.

A new artist every month, each
Cabinet is opening on the first
Thursday of every month.
The Cabinet is an ongoing
project in which CIAP give the
opportunity to young promising
artists to present their work to a
large public.
CIAP is an independent association for contemporary art. CIAP was founded in 1976 and its
operating methods are very comparable to the German model of the Kunstverrein, a model that is
not well known in Flanders. CIAP aims to respond to the local art scene in a two-way direction, on
the one hand by presenting from within the local context towards a larger (eu)regional public and
on the other hand by boosting the local artists, art-professionals and public by showing innovative
international artistic developments.

Bonnefanten Hedge House in
Wijlre
Where in the Netherlands do you
find a museum space that also
serves as an orchid greenhouse,
an orangery and a henhouse? In
the Bonnefanten Hedge House,
nature and culture dance a
loving pas de deux and hens
scratch around contentedly.
The artists in The Mystic
Gardener are permeated by the
world, while investigating the
unfathomable nature of art and
of their work in dialogue with
nature, with apparent stoicism.
The Bonnefantenmuseum has a collection of old masters and a collection of modern and contemporary art. The old masters on display include works by mediaeval sculptor Jan van Steffeswert,
and early Netherlandish and Italian paintings. The modern and contemporary art collections consist of artworks by internationally renowned artists, with a historically grown focus on movements
such as Concept Art, Minimal Art and Arte Povera. The spectacular museum building was designed
by Aldo Rossi. The museum also offers various guided tours and activities for children.

practice.

NAK. Neuer Aachener Kunstverein is one of the youngest institutions of it’s kind in Germany; a private non-profit association for contemporary art in the tradition of the German Kunstverein model.
NAK was founded in 1986 as a late echo of the 1964 Fluxus festival, with Joseph Beuys and Wolf
Vostell as center protagonist at the local university in Aachen. The spirit of this moment has since
been source of commitment to contemporary art.

Contemporary—Art—Bustours Routes
Art does not need a common language,
it is international by itself.
The association of thirteen institutions in the Meuse-Rhine
Region is therefore as contemporary as the art they present. Within
a radius of 100 km, the border region of Belgium, the Netherlands
and Germany offers a large diversity of exhibitions and events many
of which can be visited in one day. The locations each have a very
individual approach and present art in the most appealing way:
direct and inspirational, reflective and in a special atmosphere. This
brochure wants to increase the awareness of what this region has to
offer in terms of visual arts. It is published twice per year and gives an
overview of exhibitions and events.
