Une phénoménale expo d’art urbain avec des légendes du graffiti arrive à La Villette : la billetterie est ouverte !
A major exhibition of graffiti and street art, "Beyond the Streets," is opening at the Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris. The show features monumental sculptures, architectural interventions, archival photos, videos, and murals by legendary artists including Futura 2000, Fab Five Freddy, Shepard Fairey (Obey), Invader, André Saraiva, Fuzi, Felipe Pantone, Lady Pink, and Vhils. The exhibition, which has already drawn over 650,000 visitors worldwide, runs from late May to early September 2026, and ticket sales have just opened.
This exhibition matters because it consolidates the global cultural ascent of graffiti and street art, presenting it on a massive institutional scale. Curated by graffiti historian Roger Gastman, the show traces the movement's history from its New York roots to its worldwide influence, legitimizing it as a significant contemporary art form. The inclusion of a boutique curated by Sarah Andelman, co-founder of the influential Parisian concept store Colette, further bridges the gap between underground art, commerce, and high fashion, highlighting the movement's pervasive impact on global culture.
