Overview

Everything Must Go is a playful new work by the artist group Foreign Investment. This commissioned project for Chinese Arts Centre, takes a highly engaged approach to connect the Centre and the public. Everything Must Go offers a unique experience for visitors to actively involve themselves as suppliers, producers and investors throughout the different stages of the exhibition. In the first instance, members of the public are invited to participate by donating unwanted consumer objects for an ‘upgrade’. Then a group of volunteer recruited locally will work with the artists to gold-gild the objects. The finally upgraded product will be available for public to purchase in the art sale at the end of the exhibition.
