«Juan Agius began in 1977 in France making illustrated books, object books.
Having met Ulises → Carrión, he realized that there is another possibility as an art
form, the book. He tried with a collection, keeping an approach of „book-works“ as
work of art. After study in Paris, he started making book objects in France, creating
a symbiosis from the French idea of books as art forms:
1) Books as visual exploration of material
2) More conceptual, more bookworks that are subjejctive
3) From illustrated text to text-image – not the visual into text, but just
the Idea
...He says that creation is not the problem; the problem is the distribution –
to know one's targets, to bring this works to the public, containing galleries but
galleries also come to him to ask him to curate exhibitions. Agius feels that it is
easier to bring people to bookworks than before with exhibitions and collections
already in museums... He does go to artists to show them more about the medium.
The future, for Da Costa Editions, includes unlimited editions with communication,
TV, radio... Some of the artists published are François Righi, François
Bouillon, Ulises Carrión, Roberto Comini, Axel Heibel, Cornelia Vogel, Michael
→ Gibbs and Christian Appel.»
