As a seasoned art enthusiast who has traversed the labyrinthine halls of London’s artistic landscape for years, I must say that Marco Capaldo‘s first curatorial venture at Almine Rech, titled “Memories of the Future,” is nothing short of a breathtaking symphony of time. The exhibition, nestled in the heart of No.9 Cork Street, is an immersive tapestry that transcends the boundaries of the past and the future, weaving together memories and dreams with a delicate, surreal touch.
At the bustling Frieze London, Almine Rech gallery showcases a fresh exhibition titled “Memories of the Future,” curated by Marco Capaldo, the creative director of 16Arlington. This is Capaldo’s inaugural venture into curating, and the exhibit, located at No.9 Cork Street, brings together a sensitive collection of artworks that reflect the dreamlike quality of time.
The exhibition pays tribute to memories, grounded in a timeless, yet somewhat out-of-place sentiment. By offering a unique viewpoint, it blends the familiar and the novel, emphasizing that memory isn’t confined to the past but plays an ongoing role in shaping our future.
Capaldo, an up-and-coming talent, shines a light on a new phase of British art, bringing together a group of budding artists and influential figures in modern art. The show encompasses diverse mediums, including John Giorno’s “Dial-A-Poem” installation, artwork by Rhea Dillon and George Ruoy, Andy Warhol’s Polaroids, and a sculpture by Jesse Pollock that graced his latest Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show.
Capaldo begins the exhibition with a Warhol orchid artwork, honoring the memory of his late partner and 16Arlington co-founder Federica ‘Kikka’ Cavenati. Her influence lives on in every aspect of his design work and now, curation. The show is a delicate balance of recollection and optimism, creating a connection between past, present, and future.
Memories of the Future is now on view in London through October 19, 2024.
