We, the works of art ', before being the emblematic title of this almost exhaustive monograph devoted to more than a quarter of a century of creation and artistic actions of angel vergara (1958), embodies the spirit of his work, the ambition of which seems to combine the Duchampian paradigm according to which anything can achieve the status of a work of art and the injunction of Joseph Beuys who invites everyone to become an artist, that is to say this paradoxical proposition: everyone can be a work of art. is that the artist intends to push back to its last entrenchments the artificial and ideological distinction specific to the art market between the stage and the public, between art and life, in particular by offering cafes located in places with a cultural vocation which are not simple simulacra of shops but real places of conviviality and spirituality where different forms of exchanges take place simultaneously. Nous, les oeuvres d'art', avant d'être le titre emblématique de cette monographie presque exhaustive consacrée à plus d'un quart de siècle de création et d'actions artistiques d'angel vergara (1958), incarne l'esprit de son oeuvre dont l'ambition semble conjuguer le paradigme duchampien selon lequel tout peut accéder au statut d'oeuvre d'art et l'injonction de Joseph Beuys qui invite chacun à devenir artiste, soit cette proposition paradoxale : tout le monde peut être une oeuvre d'art. c'est que l'artiste entend repousser jusque dans ses derniers retranchements la distinction factice et idéologique propre au marché de l'art entre la scène et le public, entre l'art et la vie, en proposant notamment des cafés implantés dans des lieux à vocation culturelle qui ne soient pas de simples simulacres de commerces mais de véritables lieux de convivialité et de spiritualité où s'opèrent simultanément différentes formes d'échanges.
