Rainforests & Ecosystems, by Andrea Harris

I am pleased to announce the Eco-Cool Globe, Rainforests & Ecosystems, will be on view during this exciting exhibition and is represented by Monteoliveto Gallery.

About Rainforests & Ecosystems Globe:

The world's tropical rainforests cover only a small part of the earth's surface- about 6%, yet they are home to over half the species of plants and animals in the world.

This globe highlights the seven very important everyday foods linked to the rainforests:

• Coffee

• Bananas

• Acai

• Cinnamon

• Black Pepper

• Cocoa

• Palm Oil

The twelve-inch diameter globe was also on view in October, 2015 at the House Space Museum Tadini Milan,  Feeding the Planet Energy for Life international exhibition from October 10-24, 2015. The artwork investigated concepts regarding food, nutrition and the environment which brought together 30 artists from international countries and was part of a larger, 6-month exhibition that was a global showcase for 140 countries.

About Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Climate:

Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet project & exhibition was conceived in 2006 by Chicago environmentalist Wendy Abrams. Wendy's tireless energy resulted in the most amazing "global" display of creative ideas to bring awareness to the public of climate change and our social responsibility.  

The original "Cool Globes" were five-feet in diameter and many have been on view throughout the United States and Europe. In addition to the five-foot diameter globes, the twelve- inch version was created for special indoor exhibitions and international environmental awards. I am honored to have been involved in the original Chicago exhibition and created the Eco-Heroes globe which highlighted individuals that have dedicated their lives to preserving the environment for future generations.

A second globe was a collaboration with two other artists, Sandie Bacon and Ann Bingham-Freeman, and it was first unveiled in Los Angeles by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
