Aurélien Froment

Aurélien Froment was born in Angers, France in 1976, and has been living in Dublin, Ireland, since 2008.

"His work may be seen as scientific studies, since his approach resembles that of a historian or researcher working in fields as diverse as architecture, design or mnemonics. Each of Froment’s propositions evolves from a pre-existing fact – an object, a situation or the work of an actual person – which he studies in a precise and rigorous manner before he brings it to our attention and by doing so ensures it is preserved as a form of memory"(Xavier Franceschi, 2014).

His works comprise of photographic series, films and installations.

Many institutions have organised solo presentations of his work, including: Wattis (San Francisco), Le Crédac (Ivry-sur-Seine, France), Musée de Rochechouart (France), Gasworks (London), Montehermoso (Vitoria, Spanish Basque country), Bonniers Konsthalle (Stockholm), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), FRAC Champagne-Ardenne (Reims, France). He participated in the Sydney Biennial (2014), the Venice Biennial (2013), the Lyon Biennial, the Yokohama Triennale (2011) and the Gwangju Biennial (2010). In 2014, his exhibition Fröbel Fröbeled, which was first presented at the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver, toured to Villa Arson (Nice, France), Spike Island (Bristol, UK), and Le Plateau/FRAC Ile-de-France in Paris. In 2015, his work will be presented at Musée des Abattoirs (Toulouse, France) in collaboration with Raphaël Zarka, at the Heidelberger Kunstverein (Heidelberg, Germany) and the Badischer Kunstverein (Karlsruhe, Germany). Aurélien Froment is represented by Marcelle Alix in Paris.
