SUMMARY:Shadows – Where the City Fades
DESCRIPTION:Some cities reveal themselves only when you slow down. In Shadows\, Axel Corjon\, designer of the project Fonts Ninja\, walks through Seoul for hours\, hip-hop in his headphones\, letting the city unfold in silence. Between vast avenues and quiet alleys\, Seoul appears as a place of contrast and fragile balance\, where light\, movement\, and chance briefly align. \nThe book is built on instinct rather than intention. Axel does not document the city as it is\, but distills fleeting moments where shadows\, reflections\, and passing figures hover between presence and disappearance. \nThe evening marks the launch of Shadows and is accompanied by a photographic exhibition presenting a selection of images from the book. An intimate moment to discover Axel Corjon’s visual journey through Seoul\, in close connection with the bookstore. \n📖 Shadows — Book launch & photo exhibition with Axel Corjon\n🗓 Thursday\, 26 February\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Murphy’s Law: London Underground
DESCRIPTION:Some publications don’t document graffiti from the outside\, they emerge from within it. Murphy’s Law gathers four years of movement between London and various international cities\, tracing a practice rooted in friendship\, risk and persistence. Between 2022 and 2025\, Murf captured the graffiti of his circle as it unfolded across streets\, train lines and shifting urban landscapes. \nThe 100-page zine combines digital and 35mm photography in a raw\, direct sequence. It reads as a field record rather than a retrospective; images made in motion\, without staging or spectacle. \nFor this in-store launch\, Murphy’s Law will be available in a limited first edition of 75 copies (most already gone). Each copy includes a hand-made sticker by the artist. A rare opportunity to access this field document of graffiti culture. \n📖 Murphy’s Law — In-store launch & signing with Murf\n🗓 Saturday\, February 21\, 2026 | 🕓 From 4 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Queens Boulevard - A Winter Walk Across New York
DESCRIPTION:Queens Boulevard\, a major New York thoroughfare stretching over 11 kilometers\, walked end to end in winter. With his medium format 6×6 analog camera\, Simon Souchois captures storefronts\, signs\, and urban markers encountered along the way\, assembling a visual cartography of the city. \nWith little pedestrian traffic\, the boulevard functions almost as an urban highway\, dividing neighborhoods rather than connecting them. From Long Island City to Jamaica\, it reveals New York’s diversity through a succession of adjoining cultures\, African American\, Caribbean\, Asian\, Hispanic\, Slavic\, and Irish\, a continuous tracking shot across the urban landscape. \nEach photograph is indexed by its exact intersection\, allowing the viewer to retrace the artist’s steps like a travel diary through the urban maze. The series brings together over fifty black-and-white images of street corners\, frozen in the warm light of a New York winter\, and is accompanied by a selection of hand-printed silver gelatin photographs\, printed by the artist and presented in the bookstore. \n📖 Queens Boulevard — A Winter Walk Across New York — Fanzine Launch with Simon Souchois🗓 Friday\, February 20\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6 P.M.📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:28\,000 km — Stories from the Road
DESCRIPTION:Since childhood\, a pursuit of intensity has guided the author on a 28\,000 km bicycle journey from New York to the foot of Mount Hua\, traveling without GPS or hotels\, as both clown and pirate\, accompanied by old friends. The illustrated narrative\, 28000km des geoles du Queens au pied du mont Hua\, captures the energy of the road and the poetry of unexpected encounters\, in a world shaped by audacity\, humor\, and scandal. \nThis first book blends anecdotes\, reflections\, and adventures: each page is an exploration of self and others\, of art and life. Illustrator\, muralist\, performer\, and more\, the author translates their artistic versatility into a vivid story where introspection and contemplation of the world’s wonders intersect with excess\, debauchery\, intoxication\, and vulnerability. \nThe evening will be a book launch\, offering the chance to meet the author\, explore their overflowing universe\, and celebrate the freedom and magic of the road\, in close connection with the bookstore. \n📖 28000km des geoles du Queens au pied du mont Hua — Book Launch with the author\n🗓 Thursday\, February 19\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Untilted25‘ - Streets in Motion
DESCRIPTION:In the streets where people gather and voices rise\, photography becomes a witness. Untilted25’ captures the rhythm\, intensity\, and fleeting gestures of public demonstrations across four European cities\, turning ephemeral moments into enduring images. From Paris and Berlin to Marseille and Lisbon\, each frame speaks of presence\, energy\, and civic pulse. \nPhotographer Marina documents 2025’s demonstrations with clarity and sensitivity. Through her lens\, the fanzine presents both the raw atmosphere of each event and the shared human energy of public gatherings. \nThe evening will feature a fanzine launch of Untilted25’ with Marina\, offering an informal occasion to meet the artist\, explore the fanzine\, and discuss the visual documentation of civic life. \n📖 Untilted25’ — Fanzine launch with Marina\n🗓 Friday\, February 13\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:White Hat — Inside a Hacked Art World
DESCRIPTION:In contemporary art spaces shaped by visibility and power\, some gestures choose disruption. White Hat — “Hacking the Systems” documents illegal banner interventions carried out in major art institutions\, from FIAC and Art Basel to Tate Modern and the New Museum. \nCo-written by Marc-Antoine Léval and art critic Henrique Grimaldi\, the book revisits the Please Buy / Show My Work series through images and context. Read through the lens of hacking\, these actions are presented as ways of exposing how art systems operate\, who they include\, and where they fracture. \nThe evening marks the launch of the book\, an opportunity to discover this visual archive and reflect on strategies of intervention within the contemporary art world\, in close connection with the bookstore. \n📖 White Hat — “Hacking the Systems” — Book Launch\n🗓 Saturday\, February 7\, 2026 | 🕓 From 4 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Dérives Picturales : Anti-Style Practices
DESCRIPTION:Dérives picturales brings together graffiti works that step outside established codes. Photographed mainly in Paris\, with incursions into Lille\, Nantes\, Brussels\, Berlin\, and Athens\, the fanzine traces an alternative urban landscape shaped by unusual forms and visual languages. \nDriven by a passion for graffiti and modern and contemporary art\, the author focuses on so-called “anti-style” works. The project acts as a personal compilation\, reflecting an affinity for abstraction and for artists who deliberately move beyond dominant conventions. \nConceived as an invitation to question the codes of graffiti\, Dérives picturales opens a space for reflection and inspiration. The evening marks the launch of the fanzine\, an informal moment to discover its visual universe in close connection with the bookstore. \n📖 Dérives picturales — Fanzine Launch\n🗓 Thursday\, February 5\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Bordeaux90 — Birth of a Writing Scene
DESCRIPTION:Before becoming a movement\, a scene often begins with a few teenagers testing the city.\nIn the early 1990s\, Bordeaux saw the emergence of a graffiti scene shaped by freedom\, intuition\, and close contact with the urban environment. Bordeaux 90\, Naissance d’une scène graff looks back at that decisive decade\, when a local visual language took form beyond dominant codes. \nPublished by Éditions Terrain Vague\, this bilingual book combines firsthand accounts\, contextual analysis\, and previously unpublished analog photographic archives. Neither a simple image catalogue nor a collection of interviews\, it offers a structured reading of a scene influenced by hip-hop\, skate culture\, hardcore punk\, and other subcultures in full effervescence. \nThe event will mark the launch of Bordeaux 90\, Naissance d’une scène graff at Le Grand Jeu. An opportunity to discover the book and revisit the visual grammar that emerged from Bordeaux’s streets\, trains\, and industrial margins\, accompanied by a photographic exhibition and a video screening presented from 4 to 5 P.M. \n📖 Bordeaux 90\, Naissance d’une scène graff — Book launch\n🗓 Saturday\, 31 January\, 2026 | 🕓 From 4 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Loopera: A Life in the Margins
DESCRIPTION:Some stories survive not through archives\, but through the scenes that carried them.\nActive between Belgium\, France\, and the Netherlands\, Liza (1958–2001) was a defining yet often overlooked figure of European electronic and hardcore culture. From classical training to tape experimentation\, from New Wave and EBM to rave and hardcore\, her trajectory unfolded within underground networks where sound\, community\, and radical independence were inseparable. Her death in 2001 marked the end of an era\, and a particular way of living electronic music. \nLoopera is a fanzine dedicated to preserving that legacy. Bringing together texts by Claudia Attimonelli\, Riccardo Balli\, and Jan Hartungen\, the publication traces Liza’s role within the French and Dutch underground\, her collaborations with artists such as Dano\, Manu le Malin\, Laurent Ho\, and DJ Pure\, and the creation of her label Provision. \nThe event will mark the launch of Loopera at Le Grand Jeu. An opportunity to present the fanzine\, revisit the figure of Liza\, and trace her role within European electronic and hardcore culture. The evening will also include a screening of a video connected to the fanzine\, offering an audiovisual complement to the publication. \nA second event connected to the fanzine will take place on Saturday\, January 31\, with a DJ set at TOOLBOX (30 Rue Saint-Ambroise\, Paris 11)\, from 5 P.M. to 10 P.M. \n📖 Loopera — Fanzine Launch and Projection\n🗓 Friday\, January 30\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Rap Monde & Rap Styles - Global Sounds
DESCRIPTION:At a time when rap is global yet deeply rooted in local scenes\, these two books offer a clear way to navigate its complexity. From Chicago and Atlanta to London\, Paris\, and Marseille\, rap continues to evolve through cities\, sounds\, and cultural exchanges that shape contemporary music worldwide. \nPublished by Combo Éditions within the Music Talk collection\, conceived by Guillaume Le Goff as an accessible overview of today’s music\, Rap Monde and Rap Styles explore both the geography and the aesthetics of contemporary rap. Written by journalist and filmmaker Cyprien Joly\, the books map key scenes\, styles\, and movements\, offering clear tools to understand how rap circulates and evolves across contexts. \nThe event will take the form of a book signing with Cyprien Joly\, an informal moment to meet the author and explore these publications in close connection with the bookstore. \n📖 Rap Monde & Rap Styles — Book signing with Cyprien Joly\n🗓 Thursday\, January 29\, 2026 | 🕓 From 6 P.M.\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Time in the city: Walking the Night
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of two nights\, Manhattan’s Lower East Side becomes both setting and subject in time in the city\, a photo zine shot entirely by New York–based photographer Alain Levitt. Reduced to streets\, faces\, movements\, and pauses\, the neighborhood appears as a sequence of fleeting moments\, fragments of a city experienced at walking pace\, after dark. The project situates itself within a long tradition of urban observation\, where photography becomes a tool for attention rather than narration. \nEdited by Time and designed by Grandmastermechanic\, Englishman in New York brings together 66 photographs taken within a deliberately limited time frame. The choice of constraint\, two nights\, one area\, one gaze\, gives the publication its coherence and strength. Rather than documenting an event or a story\, the book functions as a visual record: a quiet survey of atmosphere\, gestures\, and spatial tension. Printed in an edition of 100 copies\, it reflects an approach rooted in independence\, materiality\, and the intimacy of the zine format. \nThe event will mark the launch of Englishman in Nez York at Le Grand Jeu. An opportunity to discover the fanzine up close\, explore its sequencing and design\, and engage with the visual language of the project. A focused presentation of a rare photo zine\, and a moment to reconnect with the Lower East Side through nocturnal wandering. \n📖 Englishman in New York — Fanzine launch with Time\n🗓 Thursday\, January 22\, 2026  | 🕓 From 6 P.M.\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

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: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: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: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: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:KTAGS: Graffiti Beneath Paris
DESCRIPTION:Beneath the surface of Paris lies another history of graffiti. In the silence of the catacombs\, thousands of signatures\, messages\, and silent shouts have covered the underground walls — far from museums\, far from sight. KTAGS dives into this hidden world to reveal nearly three decades of tags documented in the Paris catacombs. \nThe result of almost thirty years of photographic work by Marc-Aurèle Vecchione\, this book gathers a unique archive of a buried memory. With a contribution from Frédéric Braun\, KTAGS unveils the secret side of Parisian graffiti — its codes\, its rituals\, and its uncompromising freedom. \nOn November 27\, Marc-Aurèle Vecchione and Frédéric Braun will be at Le Grand Jeu to present the book and share this exceptional photographic and human journey — a rare testimony to the most underground side of graffiti culture. \n📖 KTAGS — Book launch with Marc-Aurèle Vecchione🗓 Wednesday\, November 27\, 2025 | 🕓 From 6:00 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Pra gringos é mais caro — A love letter to Rio
DESCRIPTION:Between distance and belonging\, Arnaud Dambry’s debut photo book Pra gringos é mais caro offers a personal and intimate portrait of Rio de Janeiro\, born from a long\, immersive stay. More than a travel diary\, it is a story of connection — of a city that takes hold of you\, of fleeting encounters that leave lasting marks\, and of moments that feel like home even when you’re far away. \nShot over the course of a summer\, Dambry’s photographs capture both the tenderness and intensity of Rio: its rhythms\, its people\, its beauty and contradictions. The book is rooted in gratitude and empathy\, guided by a deep affection for a city that continues to call the author back. Designed by Kévin Boccanera and self-published in a limited run of 150 copies\, it stands as an ode to travel\, friendship\, and the human capacity for connection. \nTo celebrate its release\, Le Grand Jeu will host an exhibition and signing with Arnaud Dambry. \n📖 Arnaud Dambry — Pra gringos é mais caro🗓 Friday\, November 21 | 🕓 from 6:00 pm📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11e

SUMMARY:Mint&Serf — Between Language and Art
DESCRIPTION:From the subways of New York to the studio walls\, Mint&Serf — also known as The MIRF — have spent more than twenty-five years exploring the tension between chaos and creation. Their work\, grounded in graffiti and expressive mark-making\, blurs the lines between art and vandalism\, public and private\, rebellion and reflection. \nBetween Language + Art is their most ambitious project to date: a 468-page bilingual monograph (English/Japanese) tracing their journey from the gritty streets of late-1990s Brooklyn to the global art scene. Through photographs\, texts\, and collaborations\, the book reveals the raw energy of a duo that has turned the aesthetics of disruption into a language of its own. \nFeaturing contributions by Megan Garwood\, Osvaldo Chance Jimenez\, Dumar Novy\, Miguel Gomez\, Sacha Jenkins SHR\, Jonathan Krohn\, and a foreword by Richie Shazam\, the publication is both an archive and a manifesto — a visual essay on friendship\, resistance\, and creative freedom. \n📖 Mint&Serf — Between Language and Art🗓 Thursday\, November 20 | 🕓 from 6:00 pm📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11e

SUMMARY:Rockocó Número Ocho — The missing chapter of Madrid’s hip-hop history
DESCRIPTION:Before social media and smartphones\, Spanish youth invented their own ways of being seen. Among them\, photographer Miguel Trillo became a witness and chronicler — from the punks of the late Franco era to the first generation of Spanish rappers. His work\, suspended between art\, reportage\, and visual sociology\, captured the birth of new identities through style\, music\, and attitude. \nAt the heart of Trillo’s visual universe lies Rockocó\, a self-published fanzine series from the 1980s that became a symbol of the movida madrileña. This newly unearthed issue\, Rockocó Número Ocho: Especial Hip-Hop Madrid 1986–1991\, finally completes the series. Originally shot for a fanzine that was never printed\, it now comes to life as a limited-edition publication revealing the pioneers of Madrid’s hip-hop scene — dancers\, DJs\, graffiti writers\, and MCs — portrayed with Trillo’s unmistakable empathy and precision. \nProduced by Le Grand Jeu in collaboration with ZarbiBooks\, this special edition was conceived expressly for Paris Photo 2025\, reviving the raw energy of a movement in the making and restoring a missing chapter in the visual history of European hip-hop. \nTo celebrate its release\, Le Grand Jeu will host a presentation of the book in the presence of Miguel Trillo\, together with the editors. A table will also be available to all independent authors and publishers visiting Paris for Paris Photo\, including Angelo Leonardo (Le Monde ou Rien\, Altana)\, Gaia Mattiello (The Rabbit Hole) and Guido Gazzilli (Home is Home\, Kehrer Verlag)\, offering a chance to showcase their latest productions in an informal\, collective spirit. \n📖 Miguel Trillo — Rockocó Número Ocho: Especial Hip-Hop Madrid 1986–1991🗓 Friday\, November 14 | 🕓 from 6:00 pm📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 Passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11e

SUMMARY:Railway Systems: Aesthetics and Institutions
DESCRIPTION:Trains and railway systems have long shaped our landscapes\, functioning not only as industrial infrastructures but also as living canvases for autonomous practices such as graffiti writing. Yet\, despite their central role in urban imaginaries\, they remain marginal within the institutional discourse on “street” and “urban” art. \nThis evening\, Jens Besser\, Nicolas Ciarlone\, and THWRB3AT will open a discussion on how these infrastructures can be reimagined as legitimate sites for artistic and cultural engagement. Their recent publications provide the starting point: TOPOLOGISMS (THWRB3AT\, 2025)\, which explores the topological aesthetics of European railway infrastructures through geospatial documentation; PADiGLiONE iN MOViMENTO (Besser\, 2025)\, presenting the first Venice Biennale pavilion dedicated to illegal train painting; and Lines & Numbers (ASRT editions\, 2023)\, edited by Prof. Harry Breda-Beck\, which examines the reduced color schemes and unique aesthetics of freight trains in Europe. \n📚 Railway Systems: Aesthetics and Institutions – Talk & Book Presentation🗓 Friday\, November 7\, 2025 | 🕕 From 6 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu Bookstore

SUMMARY:Future Language of the Ikonoklast
DESCRIPTION:Le Grand Jeu is delighted to host the Paris launch of Future Language of the Ikonoklast\, a landmark publication celebrating one of Britain’s most radical and influential post-graffiti collectives.\nJoin us on Thursday\, October 23\, for an evening with Remi Rough and art enthusiasts around this long-awaited book. \nEdited by Remi Rough and published by Velocity Press\, the 271-page volume retraces over three decades of experimentation and rebellion. In 1989\, six young graffiti writers — Rough\, Part2\, Stormboy\, System\, Tee Roc\, and Solo1 — responded to Juice 126’s call to “rebel against the rebellion\,” founding the Ikonoklast Movement. Their mission: to free graffiti from its own codes and to expand its language into new aesthetic territories. \nThrough more than 400 images\, flyers\, letters\, and archival materials\, Future Language of the Ikonoklast tells the untold story of this creative revolution. Featuring texts by Chu\, Jason System\, Juice 126\, Lois Oliver\, and Remi Rough\, and a foreword by Simon Armstrong (Tate)\, the book stands as both a time capsule and a manifesto — celebrating a movement that continues to influence the boundaries between graffiti\, design\, and contemporary art. \n📚 Future Language of the Ikonoklast – Book Launch & Presentation🗓 Thursday\, October 23\, 2025 | 🕕 From 6 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu Bookstore

SUMMARY:Skript Letter Jam
DESCRIPTION:Conceived by Frank Wuko as a true jam session\, Skript Letter Jam returns for its third edition at Le Grand Jeu bookstore with Pierre Oked\, Adèle Zabé\, and Namaste\, ready to improvise on a large shared format while experimenting with new tools\, surfaces\, and constraints. \nBorn from the desire to celebrate the art of the letter in all its forms\, Skript Letter Jam is both an experimental playground and a convivial gathering. Live performances\, conversations\, a DJ set\, and an aperitivo will set the rhythm of the evening\, while photographic documentation and a special edition will ensure that the experience continues beyond the event. \n📚 Skript Letter Jam – Collective Session on the Art of the Letter🗓 Saturday\, October 11\, 2025 | 🕕 4–7 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu Bookstore

SUMMARY:Survive Bitch – Fanzine Launch by Jezekaël Clavaressa
DESCRIPTION:Born from a restless gaze and an unrelenting need to capture the fleeting\, Survive Bitch is Jezekaël Clavaressa’s first fanzine — a raw archive of images where irony collides with empathy\, beauty emerges from neglect\, and survival becomes an act of resistance. \nFrom compulsive clothing-making to scriptwriting\, from music to photography\, Clavaressa’s practice is one of constant experimentation\, always guided by a sharp and critical eye. In Survive Bitch\, discarded snapshots resurface as carefully chosen duos: sometimes trash\, sometimes tender\, always political. These visual pairings insist on seeing what society erases\, on finding vitality where others see decline. \nLaunching at Le Grand Jeu\, the zine invites us to gather\, to share\, and perhaps to feel less alone in our search for meaning and resistance through images. \n📚 Survive Bitch – Fanzine Launch by Jezekaël Clavaressa🗓 Saturday\, September 27\, 2025 | 🕔 from 5 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu Bookstore

SUMMARY:With One Eye Open + Sous Press #17 & Zine Drop
DESCRIPTION:Conceived as a moving tribute to graffiti photography\, With One Eye Open brings to the screen the images that made graffiti travel the world and the projects where the photograph itself becomes the ultimate work. First launched as an exhibition in Eindhoven in 2024\, the series has since toured across Europe with screenings and talks\, offering audiences an inside look at a culture usually hidden from view. \nTo accompany the screening\, curators Jasper van Es and Jonathan Pieterse will host a live talk and Q&A\, diving deeper into the risks\, choices\, and stories that shape graffiti photography. \nThe evening also marks the launch of Sous Press #17\, the French fanzine dedicated to rap and graffiti. This new issue delivers 32 pages of sharp writing and raw imagery\, with highlights including an interview with Yovo (91)\, a story by street rider Sten\, a retrospective on Time Bomb’s impact on French rap\, and a reading recommendation. \nTo top it all off\, Le Grand Jeu will be dropping a fresh batch of graffiti zines gathered over the past weeks at Unlock and through special orders — a one-night chance to dig through rare and independent gems. \n📽 With One Eye Open – Screening & Talk + Sous Press #17 Launch🗓 Friday\, September 26\, 2025 | 🕕 from 6 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu Bookstore
