SUMMARY:Cut\, Drawn\, Printed — Flask × catcentcat
DESCRIPTION:Le Grand Jeu hosts the launch of a collaboration between two Parisian practices that meet on cloth: the drawing of writer Flask — shaped by the most radical years of graffiti\, from the metros to the tunnels — and the eye and press of catcentcat\, analog photographer seen in the docuseries With One Eye Open and printer of his own merch in Paris. Together they drop a series of long- and short-sleeve tees\, pulled by hand in catcentcat’s workshop. \nFor the occasion\, Flask exhibits a series of drawings made over recent months — including the preparatory drawing for the tee\, following the gesture from the page to the printed garment. \n👕 Flask × catcentcat — Tee Drop & Drawings\n🗓 Thursday\, June 25 | 🕕 From 7PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Tilt – Never Ending Story: Throw-ups\, Traces & Erasure
DESCRIPTION:During lockdown\, Tilt — the Toulouse graffiti artist known worldwide for his work — set himself one rule: a throw-up a day. More than 700 appeared across his city\, only to vanish soon after under layers of buff paint. Never Ending Story grew out of that obsessive\, ephemeral practice — a deep dive into the aesthetics of appearance and disappearance\, documenting two decades of gestures\, traces\, and erasures. \nMore than a photo book\, Never Ending Story brings together Tilt’s hands-on experience\, the analyses of researchers David Pontille and Evelyne Toussaint\, and the perspective of a pioneer like Henry Chalfant — co-author of Subway Art\, who describes Tilt’s throwies as plump\, jolly beings that shake\, rattle and roll\, even on a concrete wall. With work and words from international legends — Moses\, Taps\, Nop2\, Seen\, Pemex\, OsGemeos\, Remio\, Fish\, Puls\, Padre… — it stands as both a tribute to one of graffiti’s most essential practices and a reflection on repetition\, memory\, and the persistence of the trace. \nDesigned by Martin Clamens and printed offset by Escourbiac\, the book runs to 472 pages with exposed-stitch binding — an object as much as a book. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch of Never Ending Story in the presence of Tilt. An evening to meet the artist\, leaf through the book\, and talk throw-ups\, erasure\, and the never-ending cycle of the wall. \n📖 Never Ending Story — Book Launch & Signing with Tilt\n🗓 Friday\, June 26th | 🕓 from 6PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Thierry Maignan - Negroïde City
DESCRIPTION:In Paris\, some presences are constant yet rarely centered — visible in everyday life\, but still pushed to the margins of dominant narratives. Negroïde City begins from this tension. Through a series of black-and-white photographs\, Thierry Maignan traces a lived city shaped by bodies\, gestures\, and movements that quietly redefine its landscape. \nBoth intimate and political\, the book develops a direct photographic language stripped of anecdote and spectacle. Faces\, postures\, and fragments of urban life emerge with clarity\, forming a visual narrative that questions visibility\, memory\, and postcolonial legacy. At its core\, Negroïde City is a gesture of reappropriation — of the gaze\, of representation\, and of language itself. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch of Negroïde City in the presence of Thierry Maignan. An evening to encounter the work beyond the page\, engage with the artist’s perspective\, and reflect on how images can shift what a city reveals — and what it chooses to conceal. \n📖 Negroïde City — Book Launch & Signing with Thierry Maignan🗓 Friday\, July 3rd | 🕓 from 6PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Off the Rails — Graffiti\, Trains & the Underground City
DESCRIPTION:After a fifteen-year-old boy discovers a graffiti blackbook\, his eyes are opened to an unseen city. As his interest in rugby league fades\, he finds himself drawn to spray cans\, a camera\, and the abandoned buildings\, rooftops and active train tunnels of Sydney. In its forgotten spaces\, he encounters a community who see the city as he does — not just as a place to live\, but as a place of immense beauty\, above and below. \nOff the Rails is the debut novel by Jet Williams — Sydney-based writer\, artist and urban explorer. For this evening at Le Grand Jeu\, Jet will present the book and open a conversation about Australian graffiti culture\, freight train writing\, and the underground landscapes that shaped it. The evening will also include a screening of an unreleased documentary on Sydney’s underground scene\, directed by filmmaker and creative partner Max Dona. \nRegistration is open — reserve your spot here. \n📖 Off the Rails — Book Talk & Signing with Jet Williams\n🗓 Thursday\, July 4th | 🕓 from 3PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:French Rap Tees — The Wardrobe of a Culture
DESCRIPTION:Before it hangs in a frame\, a scene lives on cotton. Long before French rap reached the museum\, it moved through the streets on the backs of those who built it — concert tees\, promo shirts\, bootlegs\, worn until they became documents in their own right. French Rap Tees\, the book by Driss Dendoune produced by mgh!\, gathers this overlooked archive: the garment as a record of a movement. \nThe book officially releases this October — but we’re celebrating it early\, because part of the collection it documents is on view right now inside Beyond the Streets. For one afternoon\, Le Grand Jeu takes this story into the show. We begin with a guided tour of the exhibition at La Villette\, then move to its bookshop — run by Sarah Andelman — for an exclusive drop of just 50 copies of French Rap Tees\, signed in the presence of two founding voices of the culture\, Solo and Manu Key. Dan of Ticaret joins us too\, to unveil the Ticaret × Beyond the Streets collaboration — an edition initiated by Le Grand Jeu. \n📖 French Rap Tees — Guided Tour\, Exclusive Drop & Signing with Driss Dendoune\, in the presence of Solo and Manu Key\n🗓 Friday\, July 10th | 🕓 2–7PM (tour) · from 5PM (drop & signing at the shop)\n📍 Beyond the Streets\, Grande Halle de la Villette\, Paris 19

SUMMARY:TEK — Techno\, Trance & Dance Music's Hidden History
DESCRIPTION:TEK — Une Histoire de la Techno is a traverse through the history of electronic dance music\, spanning from the early experiments of the Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrète in the 1950s through psytrance\, jungle and the free party movement. Electronic music is everywhere now — in adverts\, concert halls\, supermarkets\, woven into rock\, rap\, pop\, and even jazz and swing. TEK traces how we got here\, mapping the evolution and reach of a culture shaped by technology\, repetition and the dance floor. \nThis Wednesday\, we’re celebrating the launch of a newly revised and expanded edition of the TEK fanzine. A long-running collaboration with Compagnie les Comploteurs (since 2020)\, TEK combines audio documentary\, fanzine and DJ-Conférence into a single compact\, accessible format. The new edition includes a previously unpublished chapter on the history of jungle and drum’n’bass\, an expanded bibliography and curated playlists for each musical genre explored. At 7:30 PM\, the DJ-Conférence — a live reworking of the text in sound and rhythm — will unfold for approximately thirty minutes. \n📖 TEK — Une Histoire de la Techno — Fanzine Launch with DJ-Conférence\n🗓 Wednesday\, July 15th | 🕓 from 7:30 PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Before It Dries While It Lasts — Writing\, Water & Disappearance
DESCRIPTION:Before It Dries While It Lasts is an experiment in writing as a temporary act — stripped of its usual claim to permanence. Working with water\, Edoardo Baraggioli creates wall interventions that evaporate over time\, questioning mark-making\, duration and disappearance within the field of graffiti. \nFor this evening at Le Grand Jeu\, Edoardo will present his fanzine and screen documentation of his practice\, followed by a participatory workshop: visitors are invited to intervene directly on the walls around the bookshop using water vaporizers — a collective experience that is at once performative and photographic. Secure your spot here! \n Before It Dries While It Lasts — Zine Launch\, Signing and Vaporizers Workshop with Edoardo Baraggioli Thursday\, July 16th |  from 6PM Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Le Premier Métro — Graffiti\, Departure & the Search Elsewhere
DESCRIPTION:H. is a graffiti writer. For years\, his name — ANY1 — has marked the walls of Paris. But Parisian life starts to wear thin\, and he sets off to see whether the grass is greener elsewhere: a one-way ticket to Australia\, in search of new walls and new air. \nLe Premier Métro is a novel anchored in the years 2015–2020\, threading real names from the Parisian and Australian graffiti scenes through H.’s journey — a story of restlessness\, departure\, and the search for paint and meaning beyond the city that made him. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch of Le Premier Métro\, in the presence of author Olivier Cachetout. An evening to meet the writer\, hear the story behind H. and ANY1\, and pick up a signed copy. \n📖 Le Premier Métro — Book Launch & Signing with Olivier Cachetout\n🗓 Thursday\, July 23rd | 🕓 from 6PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Out of Print — Two Days of Graffiti Print Culture
DESCRIPTION:Graffiti has always lived in print. Long before it entered museums\, the culture circulated on paper — magazines passed hand to hand\, fanzines photocopied in small runs\, catalogues that sold out and never came back. To collect these publications is to hold onto a history that was never really meant to last: printed cheaply\, traded freely\, and gone almost as soon as it appeared. \nOUT OF PRINT brings that history back into circulation for two days. Conceived as a graffiti and art book market — from collectors for collectors — it gathers publishers\, booksellers and independent sellers to present new releases alongside rare\, out-of-print and special publications. Books\, magazines\, fanzines\, exhibition catalogues\, DVDs\, VHS tapes\, stickers\, toys and prints: the full material culture of writing\, from established houses to self-published projects. A place to browse\, discover\, exchange\, and reconnect with titles that are long sold out\, hard to find\, or simply special. \nHeld in the hall of the “Kinderschutzbund” next to the St. Magni Church\, the market runs alongside the Colour & Soul Festival. Free entry for all. \n📖 OUT OF PRINT — Graffiti & Art Book Market\, From Collectors for Collectors\n🗓 Friday July 31st (Pre-Opening 5–8PM) & Saturday August 1st\, 2026 (11AM–6PM)\n📍 Hall of the “Kinderschutzbund”\, Hinter der Magnikirche 6A\, 38100 Braunschweig\, Germany

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:Silly Little Projects Vol. II — D.I.Y. Trying
DESCRIPTION:Some objects are impossible to throw away and useless to keep. A ticket stub\, a broken earring\, a key to a door that no longer exists. \nThat is where Alisa Cayoo starts. The Paris-based designer builds one-of-a-kind chains out of found and sentimental objects — the name comes from cailloux\, the pebbles you pick up and pocket without knowing why. She joins Silly Little Projects\, the London magazine founded by Lucy Murrey\, for an afternoon of collective chain-making at the shop. \nBring your own objects\, charms or tiny treasures — or pick from the collection on the table — and turn them into a keychain or bag charm that is yours alone. Materials and wine are provided. \nThe session also marks the arrival of Silly Little Projects Vol. II: D.I.Y. TRYING\, a DIY-couture catalogue and activity book that argues\, in an age of passive scrolling\, that trying too hard is worth defending. Places are limited and booking is required. \n📖 Silly Little Projects Vol. II — DIY Jewellery Workshop with Alisa Cayoo\n🗓 Saturday\, September 5th | 🕓 4 – 7 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11\n🎟 Tickets: €35\, or €50 with a copy of the magazine

SUMMARY:Métamorphe — From Blackletter to Cholo
DESCRIPTION:Gothic script was never meant to travel. It was built for Northern European scribes\, carried to Spain\, then loaded onto ships — and once it reached Mesoamerica it stopped behaving like a European alphabet. Blackletter absorbed whatever it landed in: colonial signage\, devotional imagery\, tattoo culture\, the walls of Mexico City and the barrios of the American Southwest. What came back out was something else entirely — góticas mexicanas\, and the Cholo writing that shaped a large part of how West Coast letters look today. \nLola Raingard follows that drift across two continents. Métamorphe / Shape-shifter is research as much as picture book: it tracks how a script adapts and hybridises the further it gets from home\, and pairs the argument with the author’s own photographs alongside public-domain images documenting these gothic manifestations. Bilingual French and English throughout. \n📖 Métamorphe / Shape-shifter by Lola Ringard zine launch\n🗓 Thursdat\, September 10th | 🕓 6 – 9 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:La Chamba — Work\, Travel & the Tourist's Gaze
DESCRIPTION:La Chamba is what work is called across much of Latin America: the job\, the hustle\, the thing that fills the day and quietly organises everything around it — streets\, houses\, landscapes\, and the very places tourism turns into scenery. Dorian André spent seven months between Mexico\, Guatemala and Nicaragua photographing exactly that. A graphic designer who uses photography as a research tool\, he shot\, edited and laid out this first book alone\, and he photographs from where he actually stands\, as a traveller passing through\, making that position part of the subject rather than hiding it. He calls La Chamba a first chapter: the beginning of a longer look at work as a way of life. \nDorian André will be at the shop all evening to sign copies\, alongside a selection of prints from the book shown on the ground floor — one large poster and four framed prints. La Chamba is self-published in an edition of 60 copies\, each numbered and signed: 210 × 260 mm\, 148 pages\, PUR binding\, four-colour throughout\, text in French and Spanish\, €20. \n📚 La Chamba — Dorian André\n📅 Friday 18 September 2026 | 6pm – 9pm\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, 75011 Paris

SUMMARY:Trente-Cinq — Three Letters from Namur
DESCRIPTION:An MC warms up a crowd\, somewhere in Namur\, some year in the nineties: three letters\, a group you don’t need introducing\, NBS\, make some noise. That tape still exists\, and so does the crew. Namur Break Sensation have been at it for thirty-five years\, which in b-boy terms is closer to a geological era than a career. Trente-Cinq\, published by Wal’Style\, is what they pulled out of the boxes to mark it — 68 pages in black and white\, A5\, written by Guillaume Roose and designed by Julien Roose. Flyers\, photographs\, jams\, faces. Not a monument\, more a crew talking among themselves and letting you listen in. \nBelgian hip-hop rarely gets told from the inside\, and almost never from Wallonia. This does both\, without the grand claims that usually come with an anniversary book. \n📖 Trente-Cinq — 35 Years of Namur Break Sensation\, with Wal’Style and Jihef aka Rage 156\n🗓 Friday\, September 19th | 🕕 4 – 7 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Capuzzelle — Naming the Anonymous Dead
DESCRIPTION:Capuzzelle are the anonymous skulls of Naples: for centuries\, in the ossuaries and cemeteries of the city\, the living would adopt one\, give it a name and pray for its soul\, in the hope that the favour might be returned. Andrea d’Avossa spent 2025 walking the Cimitero Monumentale di Poggioreale on that principle\, though what he brought back is neither devotion nor nostalgia but an inventory — a frontal\, serial photographic typology of the skulls carved and forged into the graves themselves. His accomplice Mathieu Imbert then took over the naming: Francky\, Karl\, Clitandre\, Amenhotep III and poor Maxime\, hand-stamped onto the page with an irony that is tender and faintly absurd. \nAndrea d’Avossa comes up from Naples for the evening and will be at the shop to sign copies\, with the full run available. Capuzzelle is published by Top Fanzine Editions in an edition of 60 numbered copies\, each blistered with a stamped photographic print: A6\, 32 pages\, black and white\, Arena Rough paper\, hand-stamped text\, hand-stitched binding\, text in French and Italian\, €15. \n📚 Capuzzelle — Andrea d’Avossa & Mathieu Imbert\n📅 Friday 25 September 2026 | 6pm – 9pm\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, 75011 Paris

SUMMARY:Philadelphia Graffiti Handstyles — Street Penmanship\, from Gangster Prints to Wickeds
DESCRIPTION:Philadelphia has never had the mainstream aura of New York\, and its writing has stayed largely off the record. Yet few cities have produced a scriptural texture of their own — a shared way of shaping letters that goes beyond the individual signature. Some local writers call this American metropolis “Whip City”: in the sense used in boxing or dancing\, the whip is the energy pushed into a stroke to get speed and consistency at once. Named “Gangster Prints” when they first appeared in the mid-to-late 1960s\, the old Philly hands have since branched into a whole family of variants\, developed on walls and refined on paper. \nIn the spring of 2023\, French graphic designer and architect François Chastanet spent time in the streets of Philadelphia with his camera. He also sat down for notebook lettering sessions with writers from several generations — a rare look at the preparatory work that happens before anything reaches a wall. The result traces the ongoing evolution of the city’s handstyles\, with particular attention to the condensed\, monumental “Tall Hands” and the “Wickeds”\, elaborate wild-style signatures that demand exceptional control and exist nowhere else. Chastanet has been doing this kind of close visual analysis for two decades\, from Pixação: São Paulo Signature to Cholo Writing: Latino Gang Graffiti in Los Angeles and Dishu: Ground Calligraphy in China. \nPhiladelphia Graffiti Handstyles: An Exploration in The Early 2020s gathers 125 color photographs and diagrams across 160 hardcover pages in a large 24×36 cm format\, with a foreword by Philadelphia writer and researcher Sam Meyerson aka CURVE — co-author\, with Bret Syfert\, of the Tallhand & Punchline fonts and manual — and an essay by Chastanet himself. Le Grand Jeu invites you to the Paris launch\, with the author present to sign copies. \n📖 Philadelphia Graffiti Handstyles by François Chastanet — book launch\n🗓 Friday\, October 2 | 🕕 6 – 9 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11
