MASON  – THE ESSENCE OF WRITING  

Dortmund is one of the few cities which has an untouchable status in the history of graffiti in Europe. Especially in the 90s a small group of writers managed to kill the system, having every running train covered with pieces. One of these guys was MASON. Active since 1986 and using pseudonyms like RIO or IOS, he contributed in shaping the city’s unique style, known as thick, blocky and recognizable at first sight.

THE ESSENCE OF WRITING is not a comprehensive chronicle showing every piece he ever did. He rather did look back and separated his œuvre into chronological chapters: Getting Up (1986-1991), Running the System (1991-1995), New York (1991-1997), Changing Process (1996-2010) and Recent Past (2010-2019). Each chapter opens with introductory words by MASON and presents selected works, mainly on trains, from each period.

The last chapter takes the books’ most space. While consisting of latest pieces on trains, it also introduces canvas works and exhibitions, accompanied with essays from MOSES and François Chastanet. The exhibition catalogue-like 150 paged hardcover shows the interaction of his gallery works and public actions, opening with a text by Robert Kaltenhäuser.

The book was released in 2020 and was sold out within a week. We are happy to not only offer you the last available books of the 400 copy run, but also rare AP (artist’s proof) editions. Some of the books are also signed so choose your preferred version below.

On these he adapts images of public urban space, which are mostly occupied by graffiti and tags. The constantly changing "surfaces" of the urban space are thus captured in his watercolours and are at the same time pictorial quotations of well-known streetart artists and crews such as 1UP, Moses or 1010. In addition to his paintings, the artist also works sculpturally by creating small facades, train or car models from concrete elements, metal and wood.⠀ ⠀ #aquagringo #polizei #tagsandthrows #graffiti #mercedes #benz #208diesel #throwie #graffitiontrucks #rust #miniscale #boris #artwork #miniature #paint #modellbau #graffitihamburg #wholecar #dortmundgraffiti #panel #trainwriting #vandalism #chrome #graffitiontrains (hier: Affenfaust Galerie) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDvUK1ZqJmF/?igshid=hewfa6letl49

IRON CITY - Graffiti Dortmund

Dortmund is one of the few German cities in which the classic 1980s movies and books from New York on graffiti had an immediate impact and gave birth to a very active and fast developing scene. Names like ZODIAK, CHINTZ and SHARK have been iconic figures in the early days of graffiti in Germany and Europe and still are today.

IRON CITY is a 128 paged illustrated book which shows rare shots of the first steps writers made starting in 1983, full color panels from 1986 as well as brilliant photographic documents of the city’s completely painted railway system in the 1990s. Every section starts with a little introduction explaining the chronological order the chapters are arranged in.

By following the 80ies (with ROC, COLE and ZHIT), the 90ies (featuring IZM, RIO, SKE3, DNK and MASON) and the early 2000s (with WUT, PORE, REVO and TAPS) you get an impression of what gave Dortmund its great international reputation concerning an unique, classy and often fullcolor bombing style.

We recommend IRON CITY as one of the most important books on the history of German graffiti. If you ever wondered why writers from all over the world mention Dortmund artists as their personal kings, this book might gives you an idea of what they are talking about. Special discount on the last copies of this must-have publication!
