Our store in Viale Africa 42 in Catania has been conceived as a container of events, culture, and innovation: FUTURA MEMORIA (Future Memory) curated by Salvatore Garozzo, is the cultural programme that makes design, music and visual arts the protagonists of our space.
Futura Memoria is an oxymoron that binds future and past and proposes itself as a manifesto of civic duty that underpins the events that we determine: activities aiming at a thinking lab, in continuity with a growth programme that we have been pursuing for a decade.

The interdisciplinary character of FUTURA MEMORIA unites past and future, because the future originates from our ability to imagine what does not yet exist and memory is the linkage with that which is the best we have created and the root for new visions.

Futura Memoria is also a cuisine performance, curated by Chef Seby Sorbello and sommelier Mauro Cutuli, partners of the project with Sabir Gourmanderie.
Inspired by the theme of each meeting, behind stoves and bottles, Seby and Mauro match dishes with wine and beer, in order to accompany the guests into the experience of Futura Memoria, revisiting in a contemporary fashion the Etna-Sicilian wine and food traditions.

Hybrid Landscapes by Atelier Crilo inaugurates Futura Memoria: an exhibition, curated by architect and blogger Salvatore d’Agostino, on the work modalities of the architectural firm founded by Cristian Farinella and Lorena Greco, which distinguishes itself in Italy for the innovation of drawing techniques and visual and creative design.
Through a two-phase approach, between hand-drawing and computer-drawing, the firm defines new landscapes. Hybrid drawings are used as a means to find new architectural spaces, which newly define the concept of landscape, never static by its nature but always evolving between past and future.

“The Hybrid Landscapes of Atelier Crilo are image landscapes which speculate, with irony, on controversial themes in the architecture of the last years: the intensive development, even in a period of strong economic recession, of the vertical architecture of urban landscapes of planet Earth; the unbuilt spaces in densely built cities; the ruins within a city of buildings which have recently terminated their economic cycle; the fascination for isolated houses with high economic and aesthetic value”
(Salvatore D'Agostino, Milano, 2015).

“The Siberian harmonic song by Sainkho Namtchylak, the marranzano, the mouth harps and other organic sounds of the ethnic traditions by Luca Recupero, through the prism of electronic processing by Dudu Arona, are the soundtrack of a kaleidoscopic journey from villages to metropoles, from spaceships in orbit to huts in rain forests drawn by Kranti - Giovanni Lombardo”

A conversation on cinema between Piero Messina and Giuseppe Lorenti is a dialogue on passion, art and the job of director: a journey through vision, memories and fiction in which to believe, retracing those steps that brought the artist from the first documentaries and experimental short films to his first work, the feature film L’attesa (The wait), of which he curated directing, plot and screenplay.
This is an event realised in collaboration with Off Cinestudio and Leggo. Presente Indicativo, the literary fair organised by Radio Lab, and the support of Indigo Film.

Speaking of Sicily, cinema, and directors to chase:
“Sicily and childhood, both synonyms of wonder and origin of my images” and “as a director, but even more as spectator, I love films which I cannot tell with words”.
On Sokurov: “I chased after him as a cinema student to know how he was able to do certain things; it was nice to see myself in competition against him in a festival”
(Piero Messina interviewed by Giuseppe Lorenti, Catania, 2017).

KNOW:DO=GOOD:BEAUTIFUL is the Equation of taste, the book written by Chef Seby Sorbello with Susanna Cutini and Alex Revelli Sorini, presented at Future Memory on 17th June 2016.
They are the four elements identified by Seby Sorbello to define the essence of taste: four different yet balanced terms, so that eating may become an emotional and valuable experience.

Research, experimentation and autoproduction are some of the themes on which today many protagonists of contemporary inclination confront themselves.
There does not exist only industry anymore, with its logic and possibilities, its big scale productive dimension and the global dynamics of the big market, but also the local dimension, the artisan work, the limited-number productions.

Presente Artigiano (Artisan Present), curated by Lucia Giuliano (with Vittorio Venezia and the Abadir Academy for Design and Visual Arts) shows at Futura Memoria the strong and brave identity of designers who become promoters of themselves and initiators of new processes: a collection of selected objects for recounting the four designers’ (Federico Angi, Alvaro Catalàn de Ocòn, Francesco Faccin and Vittorio Venezia) research, who explore in different ways the new frontiers of contemporary architecture.

Vittorio Venezia has lead instead a group of students from the Academy for Design and Visual Arts Abadir, who have explored the theme of the infinite variations of the vase, delving into the manufacturing of pottery and interpreting in very different ways the theme of process and language.
At Presente Artigiano a multiform variety of their experiments was shown, as a tale of a training path.

The frameless sliding windows MinimalWindows by KELLER, whose reduced frameworks almost entirely eliminate the borders between interiors and exteriors, become the pretext for an original reflection upon the act of seeing.
The collective Deep Sheet Lab (Luca Pulvirenti, Luigi Mignemi, Cristina Santangelo) puts on a composite journey of architectures in which the window becomes the subject of transaction and of the creative act.

“Looking through the window, light and colour are reflected in the panorama, interpreting it as stratification of knowledge and culture. Gazing through the window, the perceptual experience thus describes the panoptic realm from the individual to the community.
Almost in juxtaposition the screen of the monitor intimately connects us to the world, our personal window on what comes to us. No longer a window into the world, but rather a way to compose and construct the world.
Windows therefore become the supreme instrument of the creative act”
(Luca Pulvirenti, Panographie, 2017).
