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: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 The zine includes an unpublished interview\, archive material and action shots.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: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:Oreall Pop-Up — Bathroom Problems in Paris
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, 3 October\, Le Grand Jeu hands the shop over to the rapper Oreall for a one-day pop-up. It’s his first time meeting his Paris audience in person\, and the format is deliberately simple. Come by\, talk\, listen\, and leave with a piece of the project. On the table: his CD Bathroom Problems\, a run of T-shirts\, and the last copies of Sous Press’ fanzines. \nWe see this kind of event as part of what an independent bookshop is for. Rap culture has always travelled through small formats: self-released CDs\, merch pressed in short runs\, photocopied zines. Oreall’s label\, Bigzindustrie\, runs the stand from start to finish. We provide the room and the audience. \nMeet Oreall at Le Grand Jeu 🎤\n🗓 Saturday\, 3 October 2026 | 🕓 4pm – 7 pm\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, 75011 Paris\n🎟 Free entry

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 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

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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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.

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: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: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: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: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: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 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: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:Yuki + Moresk — On Living Systems
DESCRIPTION:Some projects begin as personal attempts to step outside existing systems\, others as ways of rethinking them from within. This evening brings together two independent practices that question how we live\, organise time\, and define autonomy. \nL’antimanuel : La Cafardise stems from a year spent exploring life outside monetary structures. Through analogue photography and lived experience\, it reflects on basic needs — eating\, sleeping\, learning\, socialising — as starting points for rethinking independence and collective organisation. Neither manifesto nor guide\, it opens a space between critical thought and direct experience. \nMoresk presents Marcus & Riton 1. Le cercle des tripoteurs\, the first chapter of an ongoing fanzine series developed through drawing\, rewriting and repetition. The project works as a fragmented\, evolving narrative where each issue stands alone while contributing to a broader\, open structure shaped by experimentation. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to an evening of presentation\, exhibition\, signing session and exchange\, bringing together two editorial approaches and two ways of working through lived experience. \n📖  YUKI + MORESK — Exhibition\, Fanzine Launch & Signing Session\n🗓 Thursday\, 21 May | 🕓 From 6PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Holeg Spies – Echos des Origines
DESCRIPTION:What if listening were humanity’s founding gesture? In Echos des Origines\, published by Signal Zéro\, composer and sound researcher Holeg Spies traces an unbroken line from the resonant caves of the Paleolithic to the bass-driven warehouses of 1990s rave culture. He proposes what he calls écophonisme — an understanding of sound as a living organism in dynamic relation with its environment. \nBetween sociology\, anthropology\, and musicology\, the book draws on three decades of immersive practice — Hopi rituals in Arizona\, industrial wastelands of early techno\, the studios of Abbey Road. Part manifesto\, part counter-history\, it reframes collective experience through sound rather than image. Published by Signal Zero Éditions\, with contributions from astrophysicist Roland Lehoucq and sound archaeologist Mylène Pardoen. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch of Echos des Origines in the presence of Holeg Spies. An evening to encounter a book that treats sound not as entertainment or noise\, but as the oldest technology for being together.

SUMMARY:CazinoLA — Grey Zones & Pursuit
DESCRIPTION:A story that begins with a disappearance\, a name\, and a trace that refuses to fade. CazinoLA — La vie brute dans des draps de soie unfolds like a pursuit across cities and memories\, where every detail becomes a clue and every image a fragment of a larger construction. \nWritten by Ørland Von Traumer and illustrated by Der Fortuna\, the book follows Liberty\, a figure navigating grey zones between control and chaos. Structured as an immersive object\, it combines text\, illustrations\, musical cues\, and character archives\, creating a layered experience that oscillates between noir fiction\, personal journal\, and visual narrative. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch of CazinoLA\, in the presence of its authors. The evening will unfold around the book and its visual world\, offering a moment to explore the project\, meet its creators\, and step into a story where image\, sound\, and writing intersect. \n📖 CazinoLA — Book Launch & Signing with Ørland Von Traumer & Der Fortuna🗓 Thursday\, May 14 | 🕓 From 6PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:ML7 — Underground Lisbon
DESCRIPTION:Some scenes leave few traces\, not because they were absent\, but because they were never meant to be preserved. Beneath Lisbon\, along the metro lines\, a parallel history of graffiti unfolded over three decades\, written in motion\, erased\, and rewritten again. \nML7 brings together images from more than 60 contributors\, many of them previously unpublished\, alongside 30 first-hand testimonies in English and Portuguese. Moving between action and memory\, the book documents the evolution of a local scene while capturing its internal voices\, through a raw yet precise visual language. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch of ML7\, an evening centered around the book and the archive it gathers. A moment to discover a rarely documented chapter of European graffiti\, meet contributors\, and engage with a project that lets images and stories speak for themselves. \n📖 ML7 — Book Launch & Signing🗓 Thursday\, May 7\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Girls — Portrait Series
DESCRIPTION:Over the past three years\, this project has taken shape through a series of encounters\, captured without staging and without a fixed framework. Girls brings together these moments as they were — direct\, simple\, and unaltered. In Girls\, Jeanne Narquin brings together these moments as they were — direct\, simple\, and unaltered. \nSelf-published in a limited edition of 100 copies\, this first photobook assembles portraits of women met along the way. Rather than constructing a narrative\, the book builds a sequence — an accumulation of presences that reflects a personal rhythm of looking and photographing. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch of Girls\, accompanied by a photographic exhibition. The evening will unfold around the book and a selection of images\, offering a moment to discover the project\, meet the author\, and engage with a work shaped by time\, proximity\, and repetition. \n📖 Girls — Book Launch\, Signing & Exhibition🗓 Friday\, April 24 | 🕓 From 6PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:OX — Reworking the Image
DESCRIPTION:A key figure in French urban art\, OX has developed over four decades a distinctive practice rooted in the poetic reappropriation of advertising panels and public space. His work moves between modernist references\, popular imagery\, and commercial visuals\, creating a dialogue that shifts constantly between irony\, minimalism\, and experimentation. \nFor the first time\, more than one hundred studio works are gathered in connection with the exhibition in Nancy\, offering a broader look at the evolution of his visual language. This presentation highlights the influences and research that have shaped his practice\, and opens a space for discussion around the exhibition and its accompanying publication. \nJoin us at Le Grand Jeu for an evening dedicated to OX’s work and its context today. \n📖 OX — Book Launch\n🗓 Saturday\, April 18\, 2026 | 🕓 From 4PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Orléans by Names — City Traces
DESCRIPTION:Traces of a forgotten scene often survive where no one is looking — in shoeboxes\, private albums\, and analogue negatives left untouched for decades. This project returns to the graffiti culture of Orléans\, reconstructing fragments of a local movement shaped in the shadow of Paris\, yet rooted in its own territory. \nBuilt from personal archives and years of research\, the book brings together largely unpublished photographs from the late 1980s to the 2000s. It reflects a desire to preserve and transmit a history that might otherwise have disappeared — reconnecting with key figures of the time while also bringing forward lesser-known writers\, sometimes even unknown within the scene itself. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch and book signing of Orléans by Names — 25 ans de graffiti à Orléans. An evening dedicated to the release of the book and the archival work behind it\, offering a direct encounter with its author and the memory of a scene that remained\, until now\, largely unseen. \n📖 Orléans by Names — 25 ans de graffiti à Orléans | Book Launch & Signing🗓 Friday\, April 17\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Chaze — Sndtrk1: A Graffiti Archive
DESCRIPTION:Some books begin with a discovery. Forgotten negatives\, found by chance\, bringing back fragments of a life once lived. For Chaze\, this moment marked the return of more than thirty years spent inside graffiti: an art form as marginal as it is deeply rooted in personal and collective memory. \nThrough Sndtrk1\, Chaze revisits his journey through images\, places\, and encounters. The book unfolds as both a visual archive and a testimony\, capturing the atmosphere of a scene that evolved over decades while remaining largely undocumented. More than a retrospective\, it offers an intimate look at graffiti as lived experience. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to celebrate the launch of this book in the presence of Chaze. Join us for a signing and discover this limited edition\, exploring the pages and stories behind a lifetime dedicated to graffiti. \n📖 Sndtrk1 — Book Launch & Signing\n🗓 Thursday\, April 2\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11
