Palazzo Vizzani
Canedicoda (I)
Verosimilmente connesso
mobil unit, production Xing/Live Arts Week
Verosimilmente connesso is a micro house/studio with the function of display cabinet for the creations by Canedicoda – artist, designer, musician, garment and furniture maker, graphic designer, artisanal silk-screen printer, chef and facilitator that deals with ‘drawing in an extended sense’ – who comes back punctually to Live Arts Week as an unmissable presence. Canedicoda settles for one week in the interiors of Palazzo Vizzani as a solitary ant (imagine a mono-anthill of a population consisting of a single specimen), erecting in the rooms its small reception room. A mobile and temporary home to share its multifaceted knowledge on the treatment of materials (wood, fabric, paper, sound, herbs ..), for sociality and shopping. The structure on wheels has temporary extensions. It’s a piece of furniture which moves, opens and closes where he camps, teeming with objects and elements that can be detached and leave, acquired by visitors. Spreading ideas around. For Canedicoda, creating a collection is an exercise in personalization and prototyping: despite some common characteristics, each piece has its own particular shape and character. Verosimilmente connesso (likely connected) represents a way of living and creating, where the presence in an environment spontaneously generates.
Canedicoda is a Milan-based multi-disciplinary artist active in music, performance, design and fashion fields. He developed a rich, personally distinctive universe that is constantly changing but always immediately recognisable. A pivotal figure bringing and spreading to Italy several innovative and liminal currents of artistic, stylistic and musical pursuit, his experience includes a vast number of projects in cooperation with record labels, non-profit spaces, groups and individual artists both in Italy and beyond. Since 2003 Canedicoda has developed his own personal research on language, style and method, creating his own label. He has long-term collaborations with: Marsèll and Marsèlleria, Netmage Festival, Live Arts Week, Le Dictateur, Plusdesign Gallery, C2C, NERO, Fondazione Bonotto, Viafarini, Istituto Svizzero, far Festival, and various independent, institutional and commercial situations including Carhartt, Replay, Adidas, Vic Matiè, Dumb Skateboards. His work has been featured in contemporary art centers including Museion Bolzano, Palazzo delle Esposizioni Rome and Triennale Milano. Among consolidated artistic collaborations: Nico Vascellari, Matteo Castro, Luigi Presicce, Roberta Mosca, Kinkaleri, Alessandro Bosetti, Anna Maria Ajmone, Cristina Rizzo, Carlos Casas, Jungen Tagen, Dennys Tyfus. Live projects include: solo concerts under the name Ottaven and as Primorje in duo with Matteo Castro, Adagio con Buccia‘s 100 ad personam performances (2015-16), (co)designing and tailoring clothings on mindful bodies, and Musica per un Giorno (2016> 2040) with the dancer Roberta Mosca, a long action of 24 hours on an annual basis for 24 years, now in its 5th year. He published the book-inventory Adagio con Buccia (NERO, 2018). the sketch-book 80H – eighty imaginary houses i’ll build for you (bruno, 2016), and various audio editions on Second Sleep, Holiday Records and Le Dictateur. Since 2015 he is professor at NABA Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti Milano for the course of textile design.
