about

Foreign investment is an international artist group based and founded in the UK.
The group with its fluctuating membership, rare appearances and selected projects questions and challenges the established routes of commerce and transaction, by disrupting them with actions of hospitality and generosity.

Each member holds an established reputation as practising artist: sculptor, writer, and painter.
The contest of our various languages, cultures, practices and experiences becomes each time again the foundation and the reason for an event or a work as collaboration.

Recent projects and commissions: the group has established an international reputation for elaborate and uncompromising work.

They have performed and been recently commissioned at events such as 5th Floor, International Festival, Tate Liverpool (2009), The Wharf Project organised by V22 (2008), Good Diversions, Bluecoat Art Centre (2006),  The Venice Agendas commissioned by William Furlong (2005) 48th Venice Biennale part of Oreste (1999), the fringe programme of the 5th Istanbul Biennale (1997), the London Biennale (2000, 2002) and Trajectories, Rio de Janeiro (2001).

Spontaneity cannot be underestimated
