American artist Peter Fend founded the Ocean Earth Construction and
Development Corporation ("OCEAN EARTH") in 1980, a legally
incorporated successor to an artist venture initiated in 1979 to
deliver art ideas and practices to real-world clients. The firm
launched its worldwide business with a 1982 show at The Kitchen, NY
called "Art of the State." After six years, Western governments
shut its operations down. Since then, Fend has presented
multidisciplinary projects at documenta in Kassel and biennials in
Beijing, Yinchuan, Osaka, Venice, Liverpool, and Sharjah, all
toward practical solutions to economic and ecological crises.
