Interview for State Of Mind Magazine (2006???)
1. Could you talk about how you got into making art for the streets,
what inspirations did you have? How long have you been into art, and
Street Art more specifically.
Ok! First of all I allways been in to art. I think, About the streets, I started when I was a little skateboarder. Just writing my true name with a marker on the spots. My uncle is from Geneve (Switzerland), that in fact is not really far from my home just 3 hours by car and when I went there I saw all these pieces on the walls I was crazy. I saw something in Milano too, first 90's. I wanted to do the same... so I started to write fake names (tags). In the same times some writers from a little town near Alessandria, did the first trau pieces in a squat in my town. It was the first time I saw a writer. My oldest skateborader friends talked to me about writing and hip hop, but I never understood the connection. I was in to hardcore/punk. Untill that time the only stuff on the walls I saw was the classic murales or stencils. For a lot of years I have drawn just letters. They have a big power, I love expecially tags and silver pieces, sometimes I feel insane. About street art, I'm not a street artist, I do art on the street*. I never did -posters- -stickers- -stencils- I think about things and I do it withouth useless rules. I did the first things in 99-2000. Ugly things. At the time "street art" was unknown to me, I saw just the black logos of STAK, on some Roma's trains, and the "PAPERELLA" in Bologna years before the discussion is too long.............................. what people call "street art" is older than writing.
2. Could about the significance of these yellow, slug like characters
and the name 108? Is there a message your trying to get across with
your work at all?
An important thing is that I don't do only yellow sticker. This is the first thing I did on the streets after letters, I did thousands of it (all hand made) and sticked or sent everywhere in the world. Anyway... A day I started to do tags on stickers (it was easier and faster, and you can stick them during the day too), but the white paper label was too expensive, when you can't find it for free. At home I had this big roll of yellow vynil adhesive (??? how do you call it?) and I wrote my tag on it. I changed the name... but if you see the first 108 things still have big tags on it, I think they was very ugly. Day by day I foget the tag and the abstract shape became the most important thing. these shapes are 100% abstract, but I really like slugs, stones, roots so you can see these influences on it. About the number 108, It’s an holy number for induists/krishna and really important in eshotherism too. I'm really in these kind of stuff. It's divisible for 3; 3 is my favourite number. The singles numbers 1 - 0 - 8 have great meanings too. The shapes of the numbers was awesome: a line, a circle and two circles or two point. 108 is the perfect name. There are not "true" message on my art. First of all you can find my uncounscious, a lot of times I understand it after years, sometimes a never understand it. I like when people don't understand it and start to imagine things. Who did it? What's it? What it menas? Fantasy is the most important thing in life, in a way I want to make people thinking and imagine things... maybe they have a little way to escape from this sad world.
3. Is there any other media's you like to work in artistically apart
from street art?
I like to make hand made stuff allways. I do canvasses, drowings, sometimes sculptures, I did a lot of comics, sometimes I write stuff too, I play in some bands and expecially I have a noise - electronic project called LARVA it's strictly related to 108. I like to work on my bicycles, changing parts and more... At the moment I did grafic artworks/layouts as job.
4. How important do you feel travelling is to your work? How do the
scenes in other countries compare to that of the home in Italy? (could you talk
more in depth about places you have painted in , what writers you've
met etc..)
I think travelling is one of the best thing. I love travelling by trains, I had a lot of great (some bad too also) experience on it. I have an irrational fear about flying. I hope in future to have money and time enough for traveling as much as possible. I allways found the biggest influences in different paces. I love landscapes. About the other countries... I love EUROPE! I think about myself as an european not as an italian. I love the fact everywhere people and places are so different and so similar. I'm really afraid of the idea of a new Europe... they want to destroy our histories and make a sad place everywhere the same markets, the same brands, like USA. I don't like this idea. I met a lot of great artists everywhere, in France, Germany, Holland.......... Everywhere! I like Italy for his history, for the places. I'm usually disappointed about people... I think there are really great people here, usually they are unknown. When we talked about art, after Futurism I can't find a true italian movement... I don't know. Here people looks allways to the USA and try to copy it. For fininding good stuff you have to go on small places and searching for lonely unknown people. In the end I can tell you that I'm a little misanthropist and I'm not the right guy to ask about Italy, I travelled a lot just on northern Italy or in Europe, I'm sorry!
5. What methods do you use when putting up your work in the street? Is
it only stickers you us, or other things? What do you feel is the
most effective and why?
Usually I use adhesive paper or spray cans. I use this kind of stuff because are the faster ways. Usually I do it when I use spray cans (obviously) and I did it at home when I do stickers/posters/cardborads/sculptures... I stick most of them, but I sent them to friends everywhere too. I did a lot of things on 3D too (sculptures?). People call my things "stickers" I think it's ok, for being quckly but it's not the right thing... I don't know how to explane my feelings about it. The best way to express myself are brushes and colors, I like dirty things, but usually I'm too lazy.
* I don't like that word (as "post graffiti, writing, aerosol art, ecc...), sometimes I use it to escape from long discussions... anyway, ...I think about myself exactly as one of the old men who make graffiti on the caves or all the people who did it during the history. So, I want to do what I like to do. I think the most important thing in graffiti, is that you do public stuff. Not art caged in galleries, so it's so stupid to follow some senseless rules.
what inspirations did you have? How long have you been into art, and
Street Art more specifically.
Ok! First of all I allways been in to art. I think, About the streets, I started when I was a little skateboarder. Just writing my true name with a marker on the spots.

BIOGRAPHY
108
1978: Born in Alessandria, northern Italy.
1994-1996: Private artistic studies.
1997-2006: Studied at Politecnico di Milano.
2006 winter solstice: dec 21th 2006 - Graduated in Design.
He started to draw very young and in the earlie 90's as a kid he wrote the first tags on the walls of his hometown. After years spent to paint only letters, at the end of the millenium, influenced by writers as Stak and a lot of non-graffiti art he has moved from working in traditional graffiti art to painting large and mysterious figures that invade public spaces. He was one of the first writers to use numbers instead of letters for his name and his firsts works known by people, of the experimental period, are enigmatic “blob”-like yellow shapes and it’s his strong intention to make visual chaos. From Alessandria his shapes appear in Milano, Ginevra, Parigi, Berlino, Londra, New york, San Francisco, Reykjavik, Roma, Zaragoza, Amsterdam... His new works are labyrinths, dead trees, dark experimental music, videos, 3D objects and installations but especially black and gloomy shapes. In 2004 he was invited to Nusign 2.4 in Paris the first international exhibition about European Post Graffiti, in Zaragoza for Segundo end Tercer Asalto and in 2007 in Venezia Arsenale for the exhibition called Walls during the Biennale 2007. During March 2008 he was invited to join Nomadaz in Los Angeles with Eltono, Dem, Microbo and other artists to represent Europe in the U.S.A.

2006 winter solstice: dec 21th 2006 - Graduated in Design.
He started to draw very young and in the earlie 90's as a kid he wrote the first tags on the walls of his hometown. After years spent to paint only letters, at the end of the millenium, influenced by writers as Stak and a lot of non-graffiti art he has moved from working in traditional graffiti art to painting large and mysterious figures that invade public spaces. He was one of the first writers to use numbers instead of letters for his name and his firsts works known by people, of the experimental period, are enigmatic “blob”-like yellow shapes and it’s his strong intention to make visual chaos. From Alessandria his shapes appear in Milano, Ginevra, Parigi, Berlino, Londra, New york, San Francisco, Reykjavik, Roma, Zaragoza, Amsterdam... His new works are labyrinths, dead trees, dark experimental music, videos, 3D objects and installations but especially black and gloomy shapes. In 2004 he was invited to Nusign 2.4 in Paris the first international exhibition about European Post Graffiti, in Zaragoza for Segundo end Tercer Asalto and in 2007 in Venezia Arsenale for the exhibition called Walls during the Biennale 2007. During March 2008 he was invited to join Nomadaz in Los Angeles with Eltono, Dem, Microbo and other artists to represent Europe in the U.S.A.

Studi:
1992-1997: Istituto Tecnico per Geometri P.L. Nervi – Alessandria.
1997-2006: Politecnico di Milano – III Facoltà di Architettura, Disegno industriale.
21 dicembre 2006: Conseguimento della laurea in Disegno Industriale.
108 (Guido Bisagni - Alessandria – 1978) inizia a disegnare giovanissimo e nei primi anni novanta si avvicina ai graffiti più classici studiando poi la lettera in modo personale su muri e altre superfici utilizzando vari pseudonimi. Affascinato dalle avanguardie di inizio '900 e dalla comunicazione visiva decide di frequentare il corso di Design al Politecnico di Milano dove si laureerà nel 2006. A partire dal 1999 inizia una nuova ricerca influenzato dall'antico sciamanesimo locale, dai graffiti dell’Europa neolitica e dal lavoro di graffitisti europei contemporanei quali Stak. inizia a sperimentare cercando di allontanarsi da ogni rappresentazione del reale a partire dal nome, infatti cambia il nome in tre cifre colme di significati occulti (108 è stato il primo ad utilizzare solamente un numero come nome nell'ambito del graffitismo). I suoi primi lavori conosciuti sono enigmatiche forme gialle, ottenute ritagliando "automaticamente" rozzamente pellicole viniliche in forme organiche ma astratte che emergono dal subconscio e che appaiono per le strade di tutto il mondo. Milano, Venezia, Berlino, New York, Londra, Parigi, San Francisco, Oslo... In questa prima fase pionieristica della "street art" le foto dei lavori di 108 girano il mondo grazie anche a siti come Ekosystem.org e a riviste come Nusign, influenzando un'intera generazione che utilizzera le pellicole adesive come principale media per i proprio lavori in ambito pubblico. Il carattere solitario e concettuale di questo artista però si discosta da quello degli altri graffitisti rendendo il lavoro sempre più oscuro e incomprensibile con la pittura di grandi e misteriose figure nere e piccole sculture che invadono gli spazi pubblici. Chiamato ad espore in alcuni musei e galllerie private 108 si cimenta in installazioni multimediali con composizioni sonore. Nel 2004 è stato invitato a Parigi per Nusign 2.4, la prima grande mostra sul post-graffitismo europeo, nel 2007 all'Arsenale per la 52 BIennale di Venezia per Walls curata dalla Bevilacqua La Masa e nel 2008 ha realizzato un'installazione allo Scion Space di Los Angeles per Nomadaz, mostra dedicata al graffitismo europeo. Altri grandi eventi a cui a partecipato sono i festival di Zaragoza (2006 e 2007), di Wroclaw (2008), Katovice (2011), nel 2010 e nel 2011 ha partecipato al Fame festival di Grottaglie, ecc... Nel corso degli anni in oltre ha esposto in spazi quali la Triennale di Milano, il Centro de Historia di Saragozza, Bricklane Gallery di Londra, BWA di Wroclaw e molti altri importanti spazi. Per quanto riguarda le arti applicate ha collaborato con vari marchi di abbigliamento, illustrato alcuni volumi (Link mono 2010) editi in Italia e all'estero. Negli ultimi anni ha collaborato con vari artisti nell'ambito del video e del teatro. Per Tamara Gvozdenovic ha realizzato le colonne sonore per gli spettacoli di Londra (2007) and Neuchatel (2011).

CV - WORKS
108 (Guido Bisagni, 1978) is an Italian artist in the field of street art and contemporary art from Alessandria. 108 has moved from working in traditional graffiti art to painting large and mysterious figures that invade public spaces. He was the first writer to use numbers instead of letters for his name. He started to work when he was a child on the streets of Alessandria, and used different names. His work has appeared on the streets of Milan, Paris, London, Berlin, and New York City. His first works known by people are enigmatic “blob”-like yellow shapes. It is his firm intention to make visual chaos. His new works are labyrinths, dead trees, non figurative 3D objects and installations, but especially black and gloomy shapes, becoming one of the biggest and influential artists in graffiti abstractism. In the last years, he took part in a lot of international exhibitions: Nusign 2.4 in Paris, Urban Edge Show in Milano, Segundo and Tercer Asalto in Zaragoza and, in 2007 he was invited to join the project called Walls inside the Biennale di Venezia. During March 2008 he was invited to join Nomadaz (a show curated by Pablo Aravena) in Los Angeles with Eltono, Dem, Microbo and other artists to represent Europe in the U.S.A. 108’s doomy black abstractions are engaging and challenging in equal measure. Whether it be within the confines of a small room in the abandoned monastery, where the large triangular constructions are most effective and have the effect of warping and playing with the room’s dimensions as the viewer attempts to back away and comprehend the pieces, or as a surreal floating void on a wall beside a busy road.
