Hélène Agofroy (born 1953)[1] is an artist who lives and works in Paris, France. Her work combines installation, spatial arrangement and performance.[2] Her works are in the FRAC Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur[3][4] (including the 2000 collection catalog).[5] She is a professor at the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Tours in France.[6]
Arrangements was produced in the studio - a fictional space based on the changing arrangements that is created by its occupants. It merges into a single site onto which memories are projected or where personal accounts intermingle.[7]
LAH is a collaboration between three artists, Hélène Agofroy, Lindsay Benedict and Antoine Proux.[8] These are communicated through writing, according to each of their different writing styles and forms of expression. The exchange was printed in red, black and white on a narrow strip of tarpaulin measuring 300 meters by 15 cm. This long print was rolled out along the fence that surrounds Le Cyclop of Jean Tinguely in Milly-la-Forêt, France.[8]
