The Smallest Gallery in Soho is delighted to present a new installation by artists Helen Pearce and Daniel Sansome. The title of the work is 'New Progress/Novo Progresso' and the piece aims to highlight the environmental impacts caused by our desire for cash crops such as coffee.
About
The title of the installation is New Progress, which is a direct translation of the name of Novo Progresso, one of many communities which formed in the Amazon as rain-forest was cleared for mining and agriculture.
A pile of golden coffee beans sits at the heart of the installation, supported by a stack of pallets and surrounded by a backdrop of burnt and damaged wood. In this way, the work aims to reflect how our society values the commodities we can harvest from nature, while we discard the rest in the name of progress.
