Christian Omodeo on Street Art, Le Grand Jeu, and the Paris Bookstore

Christian Omodeo, the founder of Le Grand Jeu in Paris, emphasizes his agency's commitment to street culture, which encompasses graffiti, skateboarding, music, and streetwear. The agency is known for its innovative projects, exhibitions, and rare publications, including a video series for the Louvre and a partnership with Red Bull Arts New York for the Rammellzee: Racing for Thunder exhibition. After two years of pop-up events, Omodeo established a permanent bookstore at Fluctuart in July 2019. He points out the absence of a specialized street art bookstore in Paris and describes street art from an industrial perspective. He appreciates artists like Banksy and acknowledges the structured yet unpredictable landscape for new artists. Upcoming projects include Fire on Fire, debuting on October 11 at the Musée des Beaux Arts in Nancy.
