EXHIBITION
30th ANNIVERSARY
Mirko Reisser will take up the reins at the Hangar 107 for two months. This will include a monumental mural painting, created for the occasion and that will synthesize 30 years of creation. It will be the reflection of his great skillfulness when it comes to letters and forms, that have influenced several generations of graffiti artists. Mirko Reisser’s pieces are to be found in museum collections, as well as in the Reinking Collection in Hamburg, some of which will be presented in Rouen.
EXHIBITION
monolog
DAIM is coming back! For the artist it will be a return to a site known to him from his past: Mirko Reisser studied Fine Arts at Lucern University of Applied Sciences and Arts 20 years ago, before he returned to Germany and acquired worldwide recognition as a graffiti artist.
In so-called “Writing” the main element of the pictorial composition is the artist name DAIM in a very unique and site-specific design.
The typography in the works of Mirko Reisser is based on processes of construction and deconstruction, the abstract letter formation functions as the core component of his three-dimensional works.

With the single exhibition monomania the Bern-based zone contemporaine enters new territory. An artist is working on-site and realizing a work directly at the exhibition wall for the first time. “DAIMmonomania” with a size of 140 square meters is Mirko Reisser’s biggest work created in an exhibition space so far.
The powerful, seemingly tangible work is determined by processes of construction and deconstruction, the abstract letter formation constitutes the key element of his three-dimensional works. The reductions of his visual motif to the four letters of his writer’s name is barely visible for the beholder, too complex and multi-layered is the spatial structure.
It makes the exhibition spaces explode and openly intervenes with their aesthetic design. The distinct architectural structure is being dissolved while the works demands all attention for itself.
The realization process of the work is recorded in a video by Christian Brodack.
