Harriet Foyster

Harriet Foyster (b. 1992, UK) is an artist and writer based in Rotterdam. She gained her BA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts, London, in 2015, where she was also the recipient of the Acme Studio Award. She received her MA in Critical Studies at the Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam, in 2019. Harriet's practice is primarily concerned with how the logics of private property have become central to the production of the contemporary subject. Gleaning information from elements of daily life such as housing, furniture, and advertising, her work studies the emotional and behavioural consequences of ownership on social life. Her works and texts have been shared at PEER, London; fanfare; Amsterdam, Jupiter Woods, London; De Appel, Amsterdam; the 26th Biennial of Design, Ljubljana, and Ambit Magazine, among others.
