”The group is dealing with the socio-economic and political issues in the environment they live in, yet their questioning is chiefly economical; indeed, they are examining the social and cultural formations and transformation caused by economic phenomena at micro-and macro level with their work, they wish to raise an awareness for the conditions we live in and formulate invitations to contribute to the (re) formation of this environment.” Beral Madra, Curator
“Appropriating images and rituals of money in a way that causes both questions and humor on an everyday level is the core content of British-based art group foreign investment (FI). Their work plays with the corporate language and image to challenge the commercialization of the art world that transforms the art object and image of the individual artist into investment tools.” Marieke de Goede, Professor of Politics
