SUMMARY:Beyond the Streets — Paris on the Walls
DESCRIPTION:Paris has never stopped speaking the language of graffiti. From metro lines to temporary walls\, the city has long been a playground for a culture shaped by urgency\, visibility and the desire to leave a trace. With Beyond the Streets\, that history takes on a new scale through a major exhibition dedicated to graffiti\, street art and underground culture. \nCurated by Roger Gastman\, Beyond the Streets Paris brings together more than one hundred international artists through installations\, rare archives\, photography\, fashion and large-scale works exploring the global impact of graffiti on contemporary art\, music and visual culture. Le Grand Jeu co-curated the exhibition’s hip-hop section\, working alongside Gastman to build a transatlantic narrative connecting the French and American scenes — from the foundational role of hip-hop in shaping graffiti’s identity to the exchanges that tied New York and Paris across decades of shared practice. \nPresented at La Villette\, the exhibition moves beyond the idea of a traditional retrospective\, tracing how graffiti evolved from an underground practice into a major cultural force influencing art\, design\, music and public space. \n📖 Beyond the Streets Paris — Exhibition Announcement\n🗓 May 27 — August 30\, 2026\n📍 Grande Halle de la Villette\, Paris 19

SUMMARY:West is the Best — Toward the Ocean
DESCRIPTION:Books sometimes become maps\, tracing not only places\, but ways of living and creating. West is the Best follows this idea through a decade of travels along the coasts of California\, Mexico\, and France\, where the ocean becomes both landscape and point of connection. \nPublished by Room Number Editions\, the book brings together encounters with artists\, designers\, photographers\, surfers\, and architects whose practices remain closely tied to the sea. Through images\, conversations\, and shared moments\, Joran Briand constructs a personal road book that moves between surf culture\, contemporary creation\, and visual diary. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch of West is the Best in the presence of Joran Briand. An evening dedicated to the book\, its journeys\, and the people and places that shaped it. \n📖 West is the Best — Book Launch & Signing with Joran Briand\n🗓 Thursday\, June 4 | 🕓 From 6 P.M.\n📍 Galerie Kann Design\, 30 rue des Trois Bornes\, 75011 Paris

SUMMARY:Affichage Libre — Beneath the Walls
DESCRIPTION:Walls are constantly speaking\, layered with advertisements\, announcements\, fragments\, and disappearances. With Affichage Libre\, Joachim Romain transforms these urban surfaces into a field of experimentation\, revealing unexpected forms hidden beneath the city’s visual noise. \nWorking directly on posters found in public space\, the artist tears\, peels\, and reshapes paper into temporary sculptural compositions. Photographed before they vanish\, these interventions become both images and archives: traces of a city in perpetual transformation. Between poster art and urban archaeology\, Affichage Libre explores what lies beneath the surface of the city. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the Paris launch of Affichage Libre in the presence of Joachim Romain. An evening dedicated to the book\, its process\, and the raw materiality of the urban landscape. \n📖 Affichage Libre — Paris Book Launch with Joachim Romain\n🗓 Saturday\, June 6 | 🕓 From 4 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:NOT FAR FROM HERE — Mapping Skate Culture
DESCRIPTION:In skateboarding\, cities are never fixed surfaces. They are constantly rewritten through movement\, repetition\, and shared use. What emerges is an evolving map made of gestures\, routes\, and collective memory. \nFor more than ten years\, photographer and filmmaker Enrico Cerovac has followed this invisible geography across cities around the world. Shot on 35mm film between 2015 and 2025\, Not Far From Here brings together encounters\, everyday moments\, and fragments of life within skateboarding culture\, from its DIY roots to its more global expressions. The book forms a personal visual archive where skateboarding becomes a way to read\, inhabit\, and reinterpret urban space. \nPublished by Withstand and Skinnerboox\, Not Far From Here is launched at Le Grand Jeu with a special presentation including an installation developed in collaboration with Carhartt France. The evening brings together book launch\, signing session\, and installation viewing\, offering a direct encounter with the archive in its expanded form. \n📖 NOT FAR FROM HERE — Exhibition & Installation\n🗓 Thursday\, June 11 | 🕓 From 6 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Through the Lens of Hip-Hop: Maï Lucas Signing Session
DESCRIPTION:Some photographic archives do more than document a scene—they enter it while it is still being formed. All Eyes On Me by Maï Lucas traces New York between 1990 and 2010\, capturing a moment when hip-hop culture was still local\, embodied\, and self-defined. From Harlem to the Bronx\, her images follow a generation reshaping identity\, beauty\, and pride outside of commercial codes. \nWorking with intimacy and proximity\, Maï Lucas builds a visual testimony of a culture in transition—before its global expansion. All Eyes On Me becomes an archive of dignity\, creativity\, and everyday expression\, while the reprint of Hip-Hop Diary of a Fly Girl 1986–1996 revisits the early Paris hip-hop and graffiti scene through a raw\, first-hand visual record. \nThe Librairie Le Grand Jeu hosts a signing session with Maï Lucas\, bringing together both books in a direct encounter with the public. A moment of exchange around images\, stories\, and archives\, where New York and Paris connect through the lived history of hip-hop culture. \n📖 Maï Lucas — Signing Session: All Eyes On Me & Reprint\n🗓 Saturday\, June 13 | 🕓 From 4 PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:When T-Shirts Become Archives
DESCRIPTION:Some archives are not built at once\, but slowly assembled through years of looking\, collecting\, and remembering. Before culture became fully digitised\, memory often lived in magazines\, photographs\, mixtapes and personal objects — fragments that carried entire worlds within them. \nJournalist\, editor and curator Eglée de Bure opens her personal archive in Roots Picnic Music Festival\, Philadelphia — June 4\, 2016. The Day After Muhammad Ali’s Passing\, a new zine built around photographs taken at the Roots Picnic Festival in Philadelphia in 2016. Focused on the vintage T-shirts worn by festival-goers — from rap history to sports icons and cinema references — the work traces how cultural symbols circulate and reshape collective memory across generations. \nFor this launch at Le Grand Jeu\, Eglée de Bure presents the first chapter of an ongoing archival project\, moving between photography\, memory and cultural storytelling. \n📖 Zine Launch & Signing with Eglée de Bure\n🗓 Thursday\, June 18  | 🕓 From 6 PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:The City in Motion: Paris Ride Out
DESCRIPTION:Beyond its monuments and boulevards\, Paris is also a city of riders\, gathering spots and improvised routes. TARSTREETSPORTS: Paris Ride Out captures one of those moments when movement becomes a way of inhabiting the city. Set in a hidden Paris location\, the zine documents an evening where riders\, DJs and spectators came together\, transforming an ordinary space into a temporary landscape of motion\, sound and connection. \nProduced by TARSTREETSPORTS in collaboration with Bike City Kings and DJ RAF\, the project offers a documentary record of contemporary street culture. Through the black-and-white photographs of Ellis Dawg\, bodies\, bicycles and music unfold in real time\, revealing a scene built on participation rather than performance. \nLe Grand Jeu welcomes TARSTREETSPORTS for a presentation and signing session around Paris Ride Out. An opportunity to discover the publication\, explore the photographs\, and discuss the communities\, movements and encounters that inspired it. \n📖 TARSTREETSPORTS: Paris Ride Out — Presentation & Signing Session\n🗓 Friday\, June 19| 🕓 From 5h30PM\n📍Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:When Letters Meet – Skript Letter Jam #4
DESCRIPTION:In a moment when graphic cultures increasingly overlap without fully meeting\, Skript Letter Jam #4 explores what happens when the culture of the letter becomes a shared space rather than a separate practice. Typography\, calligraphy\, graffiti and letter painting are brought together not as a comparison\, but as a live encounter between gestures\, rhythms and forms. \nLed by artist and typographic practitioner Frank Wuko\, the project focuses on the act of drawing the letter as a collective language. Instead of presenting finished works\, it highlights process\, improvisation and the dialogue that emerges when different writing practices intersect. \nThe Librairie Le Grand Jeu hosts a live jam session bringing together typographers\, calligraphers\, graffiti writers and letter painters. Working on a shared large-format surface with water\, participants create traces that appear\, overlap and gradually disappear\, turning the space into a constantly evolving field of experimentation. \n📖 Skript Letter Jam #4 — Talk & live letter jam (typography\, calligraphy\, graffiti\, lettering)\n🗓 Saturday\, June 20 |🕓 From 3PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

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
