opened every week end and wednesday until 14 july, don't miss it

You can find some nice, obscure and/or impressive art by less known artists almost everywhere in Belleville ...

Besides the Cope2 this PEZ ...



... and this Stinkfish were the favorite pieces of our son. He's got taste, don't he.

I thought about Mesnager and McLevey too. Funny thing is that I gave two McLevey canvases to my wife and my son as x-mas presents the year before our trip.

And finally, this Vhils was my favourite piece in Paris. BTW, you can see the size of it by comparing it to the person in the lower right corner.

Like that, nice to see something a bit different now and again. Puts me in mind of Mademoiselle Maurice who I saw doing her thing on some show the kids were watching one day. She uses origami pieces in bright colours which are then stuck up to make patterns, pictures and words. I thought the use of paper, which won't last long, was quite in keeping with the here today gone tomorrow nature of graff.

Galerie le Feuvre currently have a group show with a great line up:


Also, Galerie LJ have a group show featuring Swoon and SupaKitch, Alëxone and SupaKitch have recently painted the interior and exterior of le Pavillon des Canaux and the Robert Montgomery show at Colette looks brilliant.  But most of all, if you're arriving by train, just enjoy the ride in.  The tracksides are amazing; bombed out like no where else I've been.

Thanks Wearology and feral things


something else?

If you're in paris this thursday go have a look at Galerie Brugier-Rigail, there is an event with CRASH (Jonh Matos), it start at 6pm!

Bump!

Will be in Paris for a few days at the end of the week. Anyone have any tips for street art related things to do? Exhibitions?

I know Cope2 was there few the past few weeks.. is he involved in any exhibitions?

Have been a few times so I know about the tons and tons Invaders there. Excited about that at least!

Walk around the Oberkampf district in the 11th arrondissement. Besides plenty of unauthorised street pieces, you'll find Le Mur (107 rue Oberkampf, Paris 75011), a former advertising billboard which over time became a sanctioned and curated exhibition space. This is a street art institution in Paris and worth visiting if only for its art historical significance.

Galerie Magda Danysz in the 11th arrondissement is a key gallery.

See Galerie LJ as well, in the 3rd arrondissement — less street-art-oriented than it once was, but still benefitting from the clear curatorial vision of its director, Adeline Jeudy.

While in these neighbourhoods (Marais and Bastille districts in the 3rd and 11th arrondissements), consider also Addict Galerie in the 3rd arrondissement.

I haven't yet been to Galerie Le Feuvre in the 8th arrondissement, but it represents some strong artists.

On the Left Bank, visit Galerie Itinerrance in the 13th arrondissement; it's very active in the street art scene and represents some known artists.

NB: Given it's August, you'd be strongly advised to call before making a special trek to any of these galleries. Half of the city is on holiday and will have vacated for the month.



Regarding Cope2, although it hasn't been independently confirmed, I heard he's taking part in an ongoing information exchange programme between (i) a specialised task force / unit under the direction of the Transit Bureau in New York City and (ii) the equivalent body in Paris. Not sure if members of the public can join or participate, but the programme is usually held at the Ministère de l'Intérieur in the La Madelaine district in the 8th arrondissement (Place Beauvau, 75008 Paris).
