Canedicoda is a multi-disciplinary artist who works in music (under the alias Ottaven) and performance as well as fashion and design. He has 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 (we recall, among others, his Piattaforma Fantastica), 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. Canedicoda has conducted his own personal research into language, style and method since 2003, working with Marsèll, Carhartt, Replay, Adidas, Vic Matiè, Dumb Skateboards, Le Dictateur, C2C, Netmage Festival and Live Arts Week. Since 2013, he has worked with Bureau Viafarini on the intersections between the artistic/creative sphere, production/technology and the social fabric, as well as with Marsèlleria Permanent Exhibition in Milan and the temporary cinema Minema. In 2014 he created the environment/installation Processo al Mochi/The Size of a Green Pea at MAMbo for Live Arts Week, and a display/event dedicated to the creative impulse, I'm Hot! with the Belgian artist Dennis Tyfus for the Swiss Institute of Milan. Among his recent collaborations was a performance project by Giovanni Morbin, Il confine è ortogonale al transito: a fashion show that involved performers/smugglers who crossed the Italian/Swiss border at the Simplon Pass near the customs house, a backdrop that provided the ideal runway for a silent border crossing.

Canedicoda (I)
Adagio con Buccia
performance ad personam by appointment*, coproduction Xing/Live Arts Week/Bonotto
Adagio con Buccia is a new project commissioned to Canedicoda, an artist and designer who has "played environments, designed sounds, clothed spaces, and worn markings" for the four editions of Live Arts Week, accompanying Gianni Peng in his metamorphoses. For Peng IV, he was asked to install a temporary tailor's atelier and build directly onto the visitors' bodies with Bonotto fabrics. Adagio con Buccia is therefore a chance to make an encounter and a place destined to transform the visitor. In this brief, consensual abduction, the artist's vision of the person takes concrete shape, and the visitor is returned to the public sphere in new garb. In such a unique project, based on individual relationship and craftsmanship ad personam, Canedicoda dedicates two hours to each of the few lucky, special beneficiaries of his work.
