SUMMARY:Fugace — Jean Sinelle's last months as a student\, in a zine
DESCRIPTION:Most of what we keep from a period of our lives now sits on our phones: photos\, but also screenshots\, notes typed in a hurry\, messages we never delete. In Fugace\, his first zine\, photographer and video journalist Jean Sinelle looks back at his last months as a student by putting those two archives side by side. Pictures of ordinary days sit next to screen captures and personal notes. The 36 pages were designed by Robin Glandon and printed on recycled paper in an edition of 50 copies. There are no big events here. The zine is about melancholy and the softness of the everyday\, the kind of time you only recognise as a chapter once it’s over. \nOn Thursday 15 October\, we launch Fugace at the shop. Jean will sign copies at the entrance\, and the back of the bookshop becomes a one-night exhibition. A wall of A4 posters mixes his photos with screenshots\, and a bedside corner (notebook\, markers\, small prints\, a lamp) brings the private side of the project into the room. A playlist opens the evening\, then from 8pm Rocknguurl plays a dub and rock DJ set. \n📖 Fugace — Jean Sinelle\, zine launch & signing\n🗓 Thursday 15 October 2026 | 🕓 6 – 9 pm\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, 75011 Paris\n🎧 DJ set by Rocknguurl from 8pm

SUMMARY:Rideaux de Fer #2 — Paris shutters\, special Lutes
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, 16 October\, Nespo is back at Le Grand Jeu to launch the second volume of Rideaux de Fer\, his zine devoted entirely to the painted shutters of Paris. The idea hasn’t changed since issue one. When a shop closes for the night\, its shutter becomes a wall\, and graffiti writers have been using those walls for decades. Page after page\, Nespo documents the city’s roll-down shutters\, from laundromats and bakeries to corner cafés and neighbourhood supermarkets. Tags\, throw-ups and full pieces sit between shop signs and phone numbers. \nThis issue carries a special focus on Lutes BMC\, whose shutters mix lettering with characters lifted from pop culture. The zine includes an unpublished interview\, archive material and action shots. It’s printed offset in colour\, A5\, with 126 pages and a perfect binding. Come meet Nespo\, grab a copy and have a drink with us. \nLaunch night at Le Grand Jeu 🛑\n🗓 Friday\, 16 October 2026 | 🕓 6pm – 9 pm\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, 75011 Paris\n🍻 Free drinks

SUMMARY:Itinéraire bis — A Hong Kong journey by Yucka & Jean Moner
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, 17 October\, Yucka and Jean Moner come up from Nantes to present Itinéraire bis\, a book of film photographs taken in Hong Kong in February 2025. Both come from the graffiti scene\, and that background shows in how they look at the city: side streets\, details\, places away from the usual routes. The 276-page book is organised into eleven chapters\, each opened by a short text. They’re meant as ways in\, not captions. For the day\, a selection of their prints will hang on the shop walls. \nGraffiti is still there\, just set apart. The book comes with an 84-page fanzine covering the local scene and the duo’s own painting sessions in the city. The fanzine also opens up to digital photography\, while the book stays entirely analogue. There’s also a box-set edition. The Invasian Magazine crew will be joining us for the afternoon. \nSigning and prints at Le Grand Jeu 📷\n🗓 Saturday\, 17 October 2026 | 🕓 4–7pm\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, 75011 Paris\n🎟 Free entry

SUMMARY:B.C.E. 2026 — Surf\, skate and snow in print at the Casino de Biarritz
DESCRIPTION:From 21 to 25 October\, Le Grand Jeu leaves the passage de Ménilmontant for Biarritz. We’ll be a partner of the third Board Culture Exposure\, the international photography contest devoted to skateboarding\, surfing and snowboarding. The main show at the Casino Municipal brings together 32 photographers across five categories: skate\, surf\, snow\, lifestyle and reportage. Satellite exhibitions run in cultural venues around town. \nOn site\, we’ll run a bookstand with books\, exhibition catalogues and zines on surf\, skate and snow culture. It’s a wide selection\, with few copies of each title. The logic is the one we apply to graffiti. Board cultures have produced their own images\, and their own ways of printing and circulating them\, and those deserve to be read as a history in their own right. \nFind us in Biarritz 🏄\n🗓 Wednesday 21 – Sunday 25 October 2026\n📍 Casino Municipal de Biarritz\, 1 avenue Édouard VII\, 64200 Biarritz

SUMMARY:Tunnel Vision — French premiere\, Q&A and a Traintrax DJ set
DESCRIPTION:Some graffiti is about style; some is about the few minutes before the police arrive. Tunnel Vision\, the documentary by Swedish director Lukas Wigardt\, follows Rolex\, a hardcore bomber from the Stockholm scene devoted to a rare and nearly lost discipline: painting the city’s most inaccessible inner-city subway stations\, knowing that transit security is on its way the moment he steps onto the platform. Three to five minutes\, no stress\, total focus — graffiti as an act of self-realisation and freedom. Le Grand Jeu and Le Consulat present the film’s French premiere\, followed by a Q&A with the director. \nMusic has always been part of graffiti film\, and Tunnel Vision is no exception: its soundtrack is by Traintrax\, the duo of Woesum and Stacey. After the Q&A\, the night continues with a DJ set by Stacey\, Stockholm-based producer and DJ blending hip-hop and ambient (RealYungPhil\, Jaeychino\, Gud\, Woesum)\, while unreleased footage shot during years of filming graffiti missions keeps rolling on the big screen. Prints from the film will be on sale on site. \n🗓 Tuesday\, 27 October 2026 | 🕓 Doors 6pm\, screening 8pm\, DJ set until midnight\n📍 Le Consulat\, 14 avenue Parmentier\, 75011 Paris\n🎟 Free entry until 9pm\, €10 after

SUMMARY:50/66 — Route 66\, Film & the Art You're Not Supposed to Find
DESCRIPTION:Route 66 turns one hundred this year\, and most of what made it famous is gone. Motels boarded up\, gas stations rusting where they stand\, whole towns bypassed by the interstate and left to hold their shape without a function. It is a road that survives largely as an idea — which is exactly the condition Mars Yahl and Roomattack set out to photograph and draw. \nFor two months they drove it end to end. Mars Yahl shot film along the way\, recording what still stands of an America quietly given up on. Roomattack worked in the opposite direction: in every motel room they slept in\, he hid a drawing on the wall and left it there. One was documenting what remains\, the other planting what would have to be looked for. 50/66 Hidden Art Project puts the two side by side\, in two chapters — On Route 66 and Off Route 66 — and in doing so becomes something closer to a map. Route 66 enthusiasts have already started hunting the hidden pieces down\, town by town. \nPublished in an edition of 200 for the centenary of the Mother Road — and\, as the authors like to point out\, two hundred years after Niépce fixed the first photograph — the book carries its own second layer: several images animate in augmented reality. Mars Yahl and Roomattack will be at the shop to present the project and sign copies. Anyone buying the book on the night gets a QR code that brings the cover\, and one of the photographs\, to life. \n📖 50/66 Hidden Art Project — Book launch & signing with Mars Yahl and Roomattack\n🗓 Friday\, November 6th | 🕖 7PM – 9PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Jim Saah — In My Eyes\, D.C. hardcore on film
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, 12 November\, in the middle of Paris Photo week\, Le Grand Jeu and King Koala Press open an exhibition of the work of Jim Saah\, the Washington\, D.C. photographer who documented the city’s hardcore punk scene from the inside. From 1982 to 1997\, he followed Minor Threat\, Faith\, Void and Fugazi at close range. He also photographed Iggy Pop\, Sonic Youth\, the Ramones and Lou Reed. His pictures ended up on the cover of Fugazi’s Repeater and in Our Band Could Be Your Life. As Ian MacKaye put it\, they “often would look like the way I felt on stage.” \nThe exhibition brings together fourteen black-and-white photographs\, all shot on film and printed on archival pigment paper. Each is signed and numbered by the artist\, and all are for sale. A poster wall of crowd shots and archive material completes the show. It’s also the Paris launch of the European/Japanese edition of In My Eyes\, published by King Koala Press. Jim Saah will be there for the opening night\, along with the publisher. There’s no formal talk\, just time to meet him\, look at the prints and talk about the scene. \nOpening night with Jim Saah 🎸\n🗓 Thursday\, 12 November 2026 | 🕓 6pm – 9pm\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, 75011 Paris\n🖼 Exhibition on view until January 2nd\, 2027

SUMMARY:30 years of Luxembourg graffiti: book signing and film screening
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, 26 November\, Luxembourg’s graffiti scene comes to Le Grand Jeu for a double bill. The first half is “SSS“\, the book tracing thirty years of work by SPIKE\, STICK and SUMO. They were among the first writers in the country when graffiti and hip-hop arrived in 1995. Since then their styles helped shaping its walls. With 544 pages\, more than 1.000 images and sketches\, the book covers writing\, tagging\, painting\, jams\, parties and collaborations with crews across Europe. It follows how three styles evolved into signatures that are now instantly recognisable. \nThe second half is a screening of “Am Schluechthaus“\, a 26-minute documentary co-directed by Olivier “Sader” Potozec from I love Graffiti and Jérôme Freund. It tells the story about the hall of fame in Luxembourg city\, a former slaughterhouse which stayed fully painted since 1998 for twenty-five years until today. The film was shot mostly during “I Love Graffiti am Schluechthaus” in May 2023\, when about a hundred artists from across Europe repainted more than 2\,500 m² of walls. Along the way\, it asks how the memory of a quarter-century of subversive culture can survive the site’s redevelopment. There will be two screenings\, and a third if the room calls for it. \n\nGraffiti from Luxembourg 🇱🇺\n🗓 Thursday\, 26 November 2026 | 🕓 6:30pm screening\, 7pm signing\, 8pm second screening\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, 75011 Paris\n🎟 Free entry
