Cool video as well :

Say Fuzzed

There's a huge amount of street work to look for as well as a multitude of galleries.

You'll find loads of suggestions on previous threads posted on the forum

But here's a couple of ideas to get you started :

Go see "Les Frigos" building on rue des Frigos, near the Pont de Tolbiac ( bridge ) in the 13th Arrondissement. A huge old 'Fridge' building with tons of Graffiti on all the walls as well as around the perimeter walls, including an old Sweet Toof & Cyclops piece on the tower. There's a load of cars & vans graffed up in the yard too. It's been squatted for years by some artistic soles and is a great photo opportunity based on how much Graff & Street Art is there!

Also, if you like graffiti suggest you go to Galerie Wallworks, 4 rue Martel. It's a basement gallery with loads of Graff art by the likes of Tilt, Ceet, Kongo, Colorz, Jonone, Crash, Lazoo and more. It's all on street signs, road signs, Metro signs, phone booths, Metro lights etc. etc. well worth a visit to see some really impressive pieces

Go to Belleville district. Loads on the streets and also some artist studios around there that have been squatted for years, so are now a big part of the very colourful scenery. At Belleville Metro station, look for the Invader pieces on the kerb side next to the down & outs laying on the verge, then find rue Denoyez nearbye and walk along that, loads of ever changing Graff & Art. At the end turn right and find a Nick Walker piece on a shop shutter just round the corner

You'll find Invader pieces everywhere around Paris. Bet you end up with a stiff neck cos you'll be looking upwards all day long on the side of buildings looking for more

Like I said, check some of the older Threads for more info. There's loads to see. Have Fun !!

Also try these galleries for a good selection of more Street/Urban/Graffiti art :

Galerie Celal 45 rue Saint-Honore 75001 usually good shows in there - current show is Horfee) and there's a great bookshop 3 doors to the right, can't remember the name, but it's got allsorts on Music, Art, etc.etc.

Galerie le Feuvre 164 rue du Fabourg /Saint-Honore 75008 ( they handle Invader primary sales and also had pieces by Titifreak, Mr Jago, Jon One, Ikon, Alexone, Fridriks and Sickboy ). Take your platinum Amex though !

Issue Gallery/Sergeant Paper 38 rue Quincampoix 75004 near the Pompidou centre. Big selection of prints and a few Vinyl figures

Galerie Itinerrance 7a rue Rene Goscinny 75013 just finished a show with Ludo, also deal with C215, M-City and Orticanoodles

Streets to visit :
rue Mouffetard 75005 walk all the way along this, & along the side roads, loads to see, like Jef Aerosol, Jerome Mesnager, Mosko and plenty more ( make sure you have a fully charged camera battery ! )

Go to Vitry ( suburb of Paris ). That's C215's home turf so loads of his pieces on the streets

Oberkampf area - loads of street art all over the place. Keep wandering, you'll find it

A fairly good street art tour Route can be downloaded from this link. Loads of walking involved but loads to see along the way :
freepariswalks.com/Documents/InvisibleParis_Walk3.pdf
It shows you how to find a load of the best pieces in the Belleville area.

Make sure you go to La Forge Commune on rue Ramponeau in the "Belleville Zoo" area. It's another squatted building site with huge pieces on the walls. That might disappear soon as the building is coming down, but good to see it while you get the chance

That's it from me now or I'll end up writing a full Paris tour guide book. Take loads of fotos and post them on here when you get back ! ;D

PS : Galerie Itinerrance is not opened before 2 pm at least. It is close to Les Frigos. Current show is by El Seed (arab graffiti)
