MASON – BEYOND THE LINES 1986–2026

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.

From 11th September until 4th October 2026 the exhibition MASON – BEYOND THE LINES 1986–2026 will be on display at the exhibition space Alter Wartesaal in the city of Herne. The show’s exhibition catalogue covers his 40 year career in selected works on 32 pages.

The booklet is limited to 150 copies, numbered and signed!
