Commencing from 1968, Noël chronicled her daily life in a diary, diligently recording every meeting, event, project, and exhibition until present. As a graphic artist, she began creating editions, Mail-art, large prints, and artist’s books while working in graphic workshops. She also became a participant in the Women’s Design-program at CAL Arts, a design-group that published ‘Broadsheet #1’ addressing feminism and design. Utilizing a grant from the National Endowments of the Arts, Noël printed multiple editions of prints by Emmett Williams from 1979 to 1980. She also served as a printmaker for visiting artists at Harvard University, including Jim Dine, Robert Motherwell, and Arthur Miller.
In the early 1980s, Noël delved into performance art through her involvement with the Fluxus Movement. In 1984, she performed ‘Spirale’ with Williams at the Academy die Künste in Berlin. The following year, she participated in the ‘Festival of Fantastics’ in Roskilde – a collaboration organized by Danish artist Eric Andersen. This event showcased the works of ten international Fluxus artists through a variety of events, performances, concerts, and actions throughout Roskilde and its surrounding area.
Noël collaborated with Francesco Conz in 1989 to create an edition on cloth and remade a piano that now resides in the Archivio Francesco Conz in Berlin. In 2008, she published a book with Conz featuring a handwritten record of all Fluxus events during the 1980s and 1990s.
Noël’s graphic work has received global recognition through international exhibitions. Stiftung Kunstfond in Bonn is currently supporting the publication of her Catalogue Raisonné, expected to release in 2022 and featuring works from throughout her life.
