DJ set at PAC Milano during Milano Music Week honors Luca Vitone's exploration of place and identity
On November 24, 2017, the PAC in Milan hosted a dance event as part of Milano Music Week, featuring DJs Francesca Faccilongo (known as Paquita Gordon) and Boot & Tax (comprised of dj Brioski and Christian Croce). They were invited by Le Cannibale to perform alongside an exhibition by Luca Vitone, who was born in Genoa in 1964 and delves into themes of culture and identity related to place. The DJs crafted soundscapes that echoed their personal histories, with Paquita Gordon having previously showcased her talents at Milan Design Week in spring 2017. Boot & Tax, highlighted by The Guardian, merged live performance with DJing. Vitone's installation 'Sonorizzare il luogo, Europa' emphasized the relationship between memory and space, enhancing the experience of dancing within a museum context.
