SUMMARY:Visions from the Subconscious Underground
DESCRIPTION:Beneath the polished surface of contemporary graphic culture\, another current is running\, built from subconscious flashes\, half-formed creatures\, and the unruly energy of underground illustration. Grazy Homeworks Vol. 1 lives right there\, in that liminal space where imagery doesn’t need permission to exist: a visual terrain shaped by surreal impulses\, childhood echoes\, and the kind of raw imagination that slips through before meaning catches up. \nPublished by Les Succubes and designed by Gilles Roudot (a.k.a. Go Grazy)\, the book gathers a selection of works created between 2022 and 2025. No text\, no commentary\, just 92 pages of shifting atmospheres\, symbolic tension\, and images that feel like they’ve been pulled directly from the edges of a dream. Limited to 50 copies and printed in Brussels\, Vol. 1 comes with screen-printed covers and a handmade attitude that pushes back against digital smoothness. \nThis Thursday\, Gilles Roudot will be at the bookstore to present the project\, talk about the world behind Grazy Homeworks\, and dive into the process of giving form to a universe that resists fixed interpretation. \n📖 Grazy Homeworks Vol. 1 — Book presentation with Gilles Roudot\n📅 Thursday\, December 4\, 2025  | ⏰ From 6:00 PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Ghosts in the Machine: Stories from the British Underground
DESCRIPTION:Beneath the political noise of post-Thatcher Britain\, another story was unfolding — written in marker pens\, DIY flyers and illegal raves. Ghosts in the Machine\, published by Alias Press\, explores how a generation of disenfranchised youth found identity and cohesion through graffiti and rave culture\, resisting the era’s social and political divides. \nTold by participant observers Christopher Stead and Nema\, the book mixes imperfect histories\, sharp anecdotes and subcultural insights. With 300 archival photographs and a foreword by Jonny Banger\, it captures the rise of two movements that shaped global counterculture — and questions what remains of their radical energy in the age of constant communication. \nThis Saturday\, Christopher Stead will be at Le Grand Jeu to present the book and discuss this journey across graffiti\, rave culture and youth rebellion. \n📖 Ghosts in the Machine — Book signing with Christopher Stead🗓 Saturday\, December 6\, 2025 | 🕓 From 3:00 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Towards the Light — A Fourteen-Year Love Letter in Shadows
DESCRIPTION:Before the light became his language\, Antoine Plainfossé was just a teenager with a camera\, quietly collecting fragments of the world: hands\, eyes\, streets\, shadows. Towards the Light brings together fourteen years of those moments\, from Paris to Miami\, expanding on his first solo show Hidden Views and tracing the slow formation of an inner map: identity\, dreams\, and the things we can’t fully name. \nThe book moves through high-school corridors\, European coastlines\, and far-off cities\, stitching them into a visual diary where the subconscious leaks through. Every image is a small opening\, intimate\, suspended\, a bit haunted\, the kind you return to without knowing exactly why. \nPublished as an extension of Hidden Views\, Towards the Light will be presented at Le Grand Jeu with a behind-the-scenes look at Plainfossé’s long-term process and the quiet mythology built into his photographs. \n📖 Towards the Light — Book presentation with Antoine Plainfossé🗓 Friday\, December 12\, 2025 |  from 6:00 pm📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11e

SUMMARY:Inside Shoe’s Black Book: The Roots of Calligraffiti
DESCRIPTION:Before Calligraffiti became a global language\, there was just a kid from Amsterdam filling a black book with tags\, outlines\, and borrowed tricks from the masters. Shoe’s Black Book − Graffiti in the 1980s is the facsimile of that raw beginning: the years 1985–1987\, when Niels Shoe Meulman learned\, absorbed\, imitated\, failed\, tried again — and slowly carved out his own line. \nThis was the period when Shoe was tagging alongside Rammellzee\, Dondi White and Keith Haring. A black book stolen and mysteriously returned\, now turned into a transmission device: part diary\, part playground\, part testing ground for a culture still taking shape. Page after page\, you see a wide-eyed newcomer becoming a signature — and how a simple sketchbook can turn into a foundational artefact. \nPublished by Ruyzdael Publishing\, all the books comes hand-signed\, each with a Shoe tag that’s built directly into the cover design. \nNiels Shoe Meulman will be at Le Grand Jeu on December 13 for a special signing of Shoe’s Black Book\, diving back into those electric years when everything was being invented in real time. \n📖 Shoe’s Black Book — Book signing with Niels Shoe Meulman🗓 Saturday\, December 13\, 2025 | 🕓 From 4:00 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Adios Bahamas: 12/12 Across the City
DESCRIPTION:In a city where walls remember more than archives\, some images return to the street to restore what time tries to erase. Since 2021\, the collective 12/12 has been creating twelve murals across Paris and its suburbs in tribute to the rapper Népal and his album Adios Bahamas. Born from grief and friendship\, these works became a quiet map of the city\, a place where memory\, music\, and public space speak to each other. \nPublished by Allary Éditions\, the book brings together over two hundred photographs and short texts from Népal’s sisters\, collaborators\, and close artistic circle. It documents how each mural was imagined and executed\, revealing an artistic process rooted in care\, loyalty\, and the desire to write a story directly onto the city. \nOn Thursday 18\, members of 12/12 will be at Le Grand Jeu to present the book and revisit the journey behind these twelve murals. The discussion will blend images\, anecdotes\, and the backstage of a project built outside institutions: a moment to understand what it means to create for a city rather than for a gallery. \n📖 Adios Bahamas — Book presentation with the 12/12 collective\n🗓 Thursday\, December 18\, 2024 | 🕓 From 6:00 PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:My definition of a Bboy!: DIKSA and the Roots of HIP-HOP
DESCRIPTION:Some figures return like markers on a map: traces of where a culture first learned to move. In the mid-80s Paris HIP-HOP scene\, graffiti\, dance\, and rap were one and the same. DIKSA (GT–TNB) grew up inside that momentum\, shaping a graphic style as coded as it is enduring. His first fanzine\, My definition of a Bboy!\, looks back at the emblematic figure that defined his early years: the B-boy as both icon and attitude. \nPublished by All Man’s Land Paris\, this 32-page fanzine gathers drawings\, signs\, and decades of visual vocabulary. Fully edited and designed by DIKSA\, it focuses on the B-boy as a central motif of his work. The edition also includes a fold-out “Plan de métro”\, a Posca-and-spray sketch reproduced like an actual metro map and slipped inside the book. \nOn Saturday 20\, DIKSA will be at Le Grand Jeu to present the fanzine and revisit the early codes\, crews\, and images that shaped his practice. A close-up look at a rare first publication and at the visual foundations of a long-standing graffiti career. \n📖 My definition of a Bboy! — Fanzine launch with DIKSA\n🗓 Saturday\, December 20\, 2025  | 🕓 From 4:00 PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11
