In all seriousness, the name rings a bell... was he part of a TLSG show a few months back?

Daniel Tango

Since the late eighties, Daniel Tagno has been a graffiti writer in the traditional sense. Tagno has always been interested in the genres of graffiti writing: the tags, the throwups and the stylepieces. A practice, which in an almost scholarly way, addresses how citations, styles and new developments in the shapes of letters and words are dealt with. A calligraphy of the street, whereby the writer’s name functions as the basis or vehicle for presenting the most diverse styles. The word itself doesn’t require any meaning. The hosts let their letters dance as projection surfaces for coded contents on our streets.

From the art on the street through the work in the gallery, Daniel Tagno subjects his letters and words to a new level of meaning. He turns to writing’s original function: to freeze information. One of his approaches borrows from Chinese calligraphy, where the individual letter has a connection to the literal iconographic sense.
