ALMINE RECH: 'Memories of the Future'

4 - 19 October

ALMINE RECH is delighted to present Memories of the Future, an exhibition curated by Marco Capaldo, creative director of British luxury fashion house 16ARLINGTON. An expression of Capaldo’s longstanding enthusiasm for contemporary art, the exhibition is also the natural culmination of a years-long relationship between Capaldo and ALMINE RECH.

Drawing on a seed of inspiration first planted by an ode to memories written by Rafael Pavarotti for Vogue Italia in December 2021, Memories of the Future showcases 14 visionary artists, each of whom was asked to respond to Capaldo’s premise – that memories are not immutable experiences existing only in our past, but rather ever-evolving experiences that continuously shape and inform our future.

The collected works encompass a range of artistic mediums: paintings from the likes of Rhea Dillon, Remi Ajani, and George Rouy, sculptures by Jesse Pollock and Sandra Poulson, photography courtesy of Francesca Woodman, and an installation in the form of John Giorno’s seminal Dial-A-Poem ‘free poetry service’, first shown at MoMA in 1970.
