Editorial by Thierry Dallard,
President of the Board of the Société du Grand Paris
By contributing to the invention of train stations and new neighbourhoods,
the Société du Grand Paris wants to reconnect with the foundation of our
European cities: the squares, the public space, an urban density favouring
encounters and exchanges and that will participate in the fight against
global warming by limiting urban sprawl, welcoming nature and trees and
favouring the use of public transport instead of the car.
In this respect, architecture and culture are levers to transform our
relationship to space: they are factors of social connection, creating an
attachment to a territory. They ensure a human and sensitive link
between the infrastructure and the users.
Today, the artistic and cultural programme that has been implemented
has a triple goal:
Building the heritage of tomorrow, namely through original
collaborations between architects and artists for each of the 68 new train
stations of the network.
Experimenting in the territories and heralding the upcoming arrival of
the metro, inviting artists, young creators and inhabitants to propose
creative projects around our construction sites
Celebrating the Grand Paris Express by organising important artistic
and popular events on the construction sites, allowing the involvement of the
inhabitants in our adventure.
Few projects have called upon such a large diversity of creators, architects,
designers and artists. This collective commitment is the guarantee of a
human, urban and creative ambition, essential to the implementation of our
project. The central place of culture at the heart of the Grand Paris Express
will contribute to building the Grand Paris of the 21st century. One hundred
and fifty years after the transformation of Paris by Baron Haussmann, the
idea is to draw the map of a Capital Region that is more open to the world,
where the train stations of the new network become the new doors to the
Grand Paris.

1. EXPERIMENTING AND CELEBRATING THE
GRAND PARIS EXPRESS
1.1.A POPULAR SUCCESS AT THE HEART OF THE GRAND PARIS TERRITORIES
From the launch of the first construction sites in 2016 until the full implementation of the network planned in
2030, the artistic and cultural programme of the Grand Paris Express is accompanying the construction of the
metro by involving the territories and the inhabitants, offering a new creative territory to artists and participating
in the urban insertion of the sites undergoing work.
To implement this artistic and cultural policy, the Société du Grand Paris chose, as part of a public tender, an
artistic direction team led by José-Manuel Gonçalvès with the collaboration of Manifesto, the Eva Albarran & Co
agency and the CENTQUATRE-PARIS.
Four years after its start, this programme of unprecedented geographic and temporal scale, is intensifying to become
a trademark of the Grand Paris Express’ construction. More than 200 artists from different generations and horizons
(performing arts, contemporary art, design, digital art, innovation, architecture) have already taken part in this
adventure, involving around 200,000 inhabitants of the Grand Paris.
“The Grand Paris Express construction sites are an innovative space to
participate in the invention of the city of tomorrow, based on a strong cultural
project that stems from the specificities of the territories united by the future
metro.”
José-Manuel Gonçalvès, artistic and cultural director of the Grand Paris Express
LARGE CONSTRUCTION SITE PARTIES, BRINGING TOGETHER A TOTAL OF 45,000 PEOPLE.
Artistic, cultural and festive gatherings, christened “KM” for the kilometres that will have been covered up to
the opening of the metro, moving from one construction site to another, like a touring festival. More than sixty
artists, institutions and companies have already been invited as part of the events programme (Olivier Dubois,
JR, Dominique Boivin, Emile Omar, the Académie Fratellini, Groupe F, DJ Chloé, Cie La Machine, Iván Navarro,
the Ecole des Arts du Cirque de Rosny, etc.). As a sign of the increasing enthusiasm for these rendezvous, more
than 6,000 people participated in the last party (KM8) at Villejuif in February 2020.
PARTICIPATION IN THE FIRST BIENNIAL OF ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE OF THE ÎLE-DE-FRANCE
REGION (BAP !)
Imagined by a multidisciplinary collective (José-Manuel Gonçalvès, Pascale Dalix, Frédéric Chartier, Pierre-Alain
Trévelo, Corinne Vezzani), the “Horizon 2030” pavilion exhibited in 2019 the projects and ambitions of the Grand
Paris Express in matter of architecture, landscape architecture, design, culture and urban planning as part of the
first Biennial of Architecture and Landscape launched by the Île-de-France region. For the first time, the public (more
than 40,000 visitors) was able to discover the models and perspectives presenting the 68 train stations of the new
metro, as well as 3D immersions.
PROJECTS OF ARTISTIC RESIDENCIES CO-CREATED WITH THE TERRITORIES AND THE INHABITANTS.
These participative creative actions christened “Shared projects” are developed with the cities. After a first
season in 2018 with six teams of multidisciplinary artists (Ne Rougissez Pas!, COAL, Yes We Camp, Malte
Martin, Si Architectes, Collectif Parenthèse), three new collectives settled in 2019 in the territories close to the
construction sites: Ne Rougissez Pas ! at Vitry-sur-Seine, Jan Vormann at Créteil and the COAL collective in
Montrouge.
NOMADIC ARTWORKS CIRCULATING FROM ONE CONSTRUCTION SITE TO ANOTHER. The first six
artists have been invited to create nomadic artworks that will become part of the Grand Paris Express
collection: Pablo Valbuena, Malachi Farrell, Tobias Rehberger, Alain Bublex, Vivien Roubaud, Michel de Broin.
They will travel all along the route of the undergoing metro. In 2019, they were also visible at the FIAC, during
the Nuit Blanche parade at Vitry-sur-Seine.

ARTWORKS IN VIRTUAL REALITY AROUND THE CONSTRUCTION SITES. Twelve 360° digital artworks,
inspired by the future train station neighbourhoods, have been installed on the edges of the construction sites
since April 2019. Chosen as part of the project tender called “Numéri-Scope”, the artists offer an artistic
interpretation of the arrival of the new metro and the evolving territories. These virtual reality terminals are
accessible to all, 24/7, and more than 50,000 users have already experimented with them!
The 12 laureate artists are all from the field of young digital creation: Kaspar Ravel, Rémi Large, Dylan Cote-
Calisson, Romain Barthélémy and Gabriel Malgouyard (AAIO collective), Raphaël Faon and Andres Salgado,
Samuel Lepoil, Guillaume Seyller, Huang Wei-Hsuan, Galdric Fleury and Antoine Fontaine, Sarah Bastide and
Pierre Depaz, Mona Young-eun Kim.
URBAN STROLLS ON THE METRO LINES. After having taken more than 2,000 hikers along the route of Line
15 in 2018, the “Pedestrian Grand Paris Express” continued its itinerary along the route of Line 16 in 2019.
These strolls, free and open to all, are co-produced with the media Enlarge Your Paris. They question our
relationship to the urban landscape of the metropolis and to the act of walking, as a new means of moving about
in the Grand Paris.
A COMMITMENT IN FAVOUR OF PHOTOGRAPHY. As from 2013 and before the launch of the first
construction sites, the Société du Grand Paris initiated a programme of photographic commissions on the route
of the future network. The first works were done by Pierre-Olivier Deschamps, who produced an inventory of
more than 3,000 photographs of the train station neighbourhoods before their transformation, and by Françoise
Huguier, who invited herself inside the homes of the future users of the Grand Paris Express. Since 2016, the
Société du Grand Paris has taken part in the national photographic commission “Regards du Grand Paris”
Views from the Grand Paris undertaken by Les Ateliers Médicis in cooperation with the Centre national des
arts plastiques (Cnap). In 2018-2019, a dozen young photographers were invited to explore the new metro’s
construction sites in collaboration with the Ecole nationale supérieure Louis-Lumière.
AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR YOUTH. In collaboration with the Education Nationale, “the Classes
of the Grand Paris Express” is a programme destined to youth of all ages. It implements several complementary
actions, using educational tools, organising school outings and workshops and information to get to know better
the professions linked to the metro network. In 2019, a short film was initiated with high school students from
Île-de-France, in collaboration with the art and research centre Bétonsalon. More than 30 ,000 youths have
already participated in these actions.
“The construction site parties - KM – are out-of-the-
ordinary transgenerational events where thousands of
inhabitants come together on a construction site with
enthusiasm to celebrate and build a desirable future: the
Grand Paris.”
Rémi Babinet, President of the Endowment Fund of the Grand Paris Express

1.2. 2020 PROGRAMME AND KEY MOMENTS
In 2020, the Société du Grand Paris will continue the development of this programme at the heart of the
territories, mixing artistic creation, participative actions, experimentations, urban strolls and races,
exhibitions and big events. Several rendezvous and projects will bring rhythm to this new season.
“With 200 invited artists, our artistic and cultural programme
contributes in turning the construction sites into spaces for
prefiguration and experimentation, to involve the inhabitants in
the forthcoming urban transformations. It is a real laboratory
"'
0
for the uses of the future.”
a:- Pierre-Emmanuel Becherand, General Director of the Endowment Fund of the Grand Paris Express
"'
With 0-93. Lab, the fashion designer Bastien Laurent, creator of the AVOC brand, proposed to 18 youths from
Aulnay and Sevran a series of workshops on the creation of a collection of clothes and objects inspired by the
Grand Paris Express and the construction site of Aulnay’s future train station. The workshop’s participants will
display their collection on the occasion of an artistic installation close to the construction site.
> In collaboration with the Théâtre de la Poudrerie, the Le Phun company will propose installations and
performances in the public space close to the construction site of the future Sevran Livry train station. The
company has been travelling through the territory, meeting the inhabitants to exchange on their city on th e
horizon of the Grand Paris’ transformations.
> Led by the Ecole Nationale d'Architecture Paris la Villette, collaborative construction workshops will give rise to the
creation of an ephemeral public space using the excavated earth of the Grand Paris Express, in collaboration
with Les Ateliers Médicis and Grand Paris Grand Est.
THE TOURING OF THE NOMADIC ARTWORKS OF THE GRAND PARIS EXPRESS. After Noisy-Champs and Vitry-
Centre, the artwork Le Pavillon des points de vue by Alain Bublex continues its tour and will overlook a new
construction site of the network once again. Furthermore, the young collective Si Architectes created a belvedere in
the Park of Hautes-Bruyères next to the construction site of the future Villejuif Institut Gustave Roussy train
station. Lastly, the Numen / for use collective imagined a balcony over the construction site fences at Vitry-sur-
Seine to offer a new playful viewpoint on the construction site.
6 NEW VIRTUAL REALITY ARTWORKS AROUND THE CONSTRUCTION SITES. This system offers a
360° digital and sensitive vision of the future train stations and will be implemented close to the construction
sites of La Courneuve Six-Routes, Sevran-Beaudottes, Clichy-Montfermeil, Vitry-Centre, Pont-de-Sèvres
and Issy RER.
TWO EXHIBITIONS TO DISCOVER THE DESIGN OF THE TRAIN STATIONS. For Lille 2020
International Capital of Design, the designers Patrick Jouin and Ruedi Baur will present urban furniture and
signage imagined for the train stations of the Grand Paris Express as part of the exhibition “Designer(s) du
Design, Paysage infini du design français” Designer(s) of Design, the Infinite Landscape of French design
at the Tripostal. In Saint-Ouen, as part of La Fabrique du métro The Making of the Metro, a space for
demonstration and testing for the Société du Grand Paris, the public will be able to discover a significant
amount of full-scale models enabling the simulation of a traveller experience, with namely: the inside of a
metro carriage, a selection of urban furniture and signage, the future floor of the train stations, films in
virtual reality, an audio immersion, etc.
8
A NEW EDITION OF THE GRAND PARIS EXPRESS PEDESTRIANS. In 2020, the organised urban
strolls will take on the form of a real adventure in Grand Paris celebrating the landscapes of the metropolis
and urban walking. This new rendezvous will let you journey over the course of twelve days across the
route of the future 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 Lines of the metro. Every day, a start and a finish will be proposed
from one of the train stations of the Île-de-France Mobilité network (metro, RER or Transilien). An expert
or an artist will accompany the group to bring his/her view on the landscape, the cultural or patrimonial
venues, the challenges of urban walking (ecology, public health, art and literature).
THE GREAT RACE OF THE GRAND PARIS EXPRESS. The Société du Grand Paris will participate in
the creation of a half-marathon between Champigny and Saint-Denis. For the first time, a race will cross
through three departments of the metropolis: Val-de-Marne, Paris and Seine-Saint-Denis.
A CYCLE OF DEBATE-CONCERTS TO IMAGINE AND CELEBRATE THE GRAND PARIS. By giving
the floor to the architects and creators involved in the construction of the Grand Paris Express, but also
the writers, researchers and philosophers that have a view on this unprecedented urban transformation,
the Wednesdays of the Grand Paris Express will become in 2020 a new space for debate and encounters
to imagine the futures of our metropolis. The musical programme of these events will be done in
collaboration with the non-profit organisation La Grande Party and the Gaité Lyrique.

102. BUILDING THE HERITAGE OF THE FUTURE
2.1. THE “ARTIST AND ARCHITECT” TANDEMS: THE GRAND PARIS
EXPRESS IS CREATING THE LARGEST EVER COLLECTION OF
ARTWORKS IN THE PUBLIC SPACE
For each of the train stations, the Société du Grand Paris wanted to call upon an artist to conceive a
perennial artwork, as part of an original involvement process. The durable artistic intervent ion is the
result of an encounter of two aesthetic worlds: the architect and the artist work as a “tandem”. This
close collaboration materialises all throughout the different conception studies of the train station,
enabling the creation of truly integrated artworks. The development of these artworks must ensure
the long-term quality of the train station spaces and the traveller experience: the maintenance and
durability of the artworks are taken into account in the conception phase.
Each day, more than 2 million users will be in contact with this collection of public art, architecture
and urban innovation on the scale of the Grand Paris. It will participate in the national and international
influence of the Île-de-France region, creating a new cultural and touristic offer accessible to all,
making each one of the 68 train stations of the Grand Paris Express into a living space and fully -
fledged destination.
“The artworks of the Grand Paris Express
train stations will be sublime, as creative
elements but also in their relationship to the
population. These artworks all belong to
this new history of the Grand Paris.”
José-Manuel Gonçalvès, artistic and cultural director of the Grand Paris Express
36 ARTISTS AT WORK
Since the launch of the programme in 2017, more than thirty artists from different horizons have
participated in the creation of this huge collection of contemporary public art. The programme favours
a diversity of vocabulary and aesthetics. The variety of the Grand Paris’ territories therefore calls
upon a wide range of artistic forms: monumental artworks integrated in the architecture, sculptures
and installations, video artworks and digital art, interventions on light, etc.
> Young French and international creators under the age of 35 are associated with this programme:
Hicham Berrada (1986), Mathias Isouard (1987), Studio Nonotak (1988), Noémie Goudal (1985),
Lyes Hammadouche (1987), etc.
> International artists: Ryoji Ikeda (Japan), Iván Navarro (Chili), Ned Kahn (USA), Michelangelo
Pistoletto (Italy), Krijn De Koning (Netherlands), Pablo Valbuena (Spain), Leandro Erlich
(Argentina), etc.
> Artists coming from different disciplines and practices: Ange Leccia (video), Laurent
Grasso (visual arts), Stromae (music and fashion), Ryoji Ikeda (digital art), Studio
Nonotak (illustration/architecture), etc.
11AN ARTISTIC DIRECTION AND GUEST CURATORS

“The guiding principle of our work, in music as well as in design, is that of
simplicity connected to the essence of everything that surrounds us. In the
Saint-Denis Pleyel train station, the heart of the Grand Paris, this tree will be
as one with Kengo Kuma’s architecture, and bear witness to the rebuilding of
the new relationship that one must have with nature. In the train station: is it
Man or Nature? Both. Together, in harmony.”

“With this artwork, the artist wants to get the attention of the passers-by and spark
their curiosity and amusement. By this small distraction, the traveller removes
him/herself for an instant from his/her thoughts to become aware of the surrounding
environment. By reflecting the crowd walking quickly, the balloons also invite the
passers-by to humorously realise how animated the train station is.”

there in the cave and dialogue with
the flows of the space: an

“Inspired by the project of the Grand Paris and the construction of a
subterranean building, Noémie Goudal proposes a video around five
performances, filmed in a sequence-shot. The narration of the film is
structured around a descending then ascending movement in echo to
the construction site. In the space of a cinema set, the camera follows
the constructions and deconstructions of five sets of scenery activated
by engineers. The idea is to lose oneself between the function of the
technical gestures and the fiction that the settings offer.”

For more than five decades, Daniel Buren has been renewing the forms and challenges
of the pictorial medium. The discovery of the striped blind of a shop in 1965 marked a
turning point in his practice. Seduced by its banal aspect, he saw in this industrial
Jean-Marie Duthilleul product the means to approach art in an impersonal manner and reduce his pictorial
© SNCF-AREP- C.Delettre intervention to its simplest expression, to reach what he called the “zero degree” of
painting. The artist then produced a series of artworks using this print as a backdrop.
Stripes quickly became his signature, although the artist doesn’t limit himself to this
motif.

Decentring, relativity and continuous movement are at the heart of Félicie
d'Estienne d'Orves’ artistic project. Her installations and performances call
upon a phenomenological knowledge of reality, questioning the process of our
vision and the conditioning of our gaze. In her work, light is at once the tool
and the subject. She is interested in the definition of the limits of a physical
and cosmological space, through light and speed. She was awarded in 2019
the Prize of the Vasarely Foundation for digital arts.

As a visual artist, Fabrice places the articulation between art and science at the
centre of his work. His art presents itself as a network of ramifications in perpetual
development: proceeding with accumulations and hybridisations, he creates
constant shifts between very different fields, taking his inspiration from the way in
which the cellular systems of many living organisms develop. Considering Mankind
and his future when faced with scientific development and species mutations is a
central point of his work.

182.2. A DIVERSITY OF ARCHITECTURES, A SHARED DESIGN
Each Grand Paris Express train station gives rise to a singular architectural project. In this respect,
more than thirty architecture agencies are working today on the conception of the train stations. The
challenge is to respond to the diversity of urban contexts whilst proposing “tailor-made” projects. The
train stations will contribute in accompanying urban development, and the quality and architectural
standard of the projects as well as their conception also looks to guarantee the comfort and durability
of these new spaces for mobility open to all.
A NEW EDITION OF THE TRAIN STATIONS’ CHARTER OF ARCHITECTURE .
The 68 train stations of the network share common orientations – determined by the architects Jacques
Ferrier and Pauline Marchetti, architectural advisors for the Grand Paris train stations – to respond to
the same requirements of architectural quality for all of the train stations. The train stations’ Charter of
Architecture formalises and shares the ambitions for the conception of all of the train stations: defining
a global identity, guaranteeing a coherent architectural quality and facilitating the specific conception of
each train station, supplying a common vocabulary. The vision that is carried highlights the train station
as an urban project: the train station is a public equipment and a space for all forms of mobility. It also
invites us to have a sensorial approach of the train stations: the traveller experience is the common
thread of the conception. In 2020, Jacques Ferrier will deliver a new version of this reference document,
looking to confirm the fundamentals and the architectural ambitions of the Société du Grand Paris.
“The train stations will have to
define themselves through their
serenity and the timelessness of
their architectural writing.”
Jacques Ferrier,
Architectural advisor of the Grand Paris Express
DESIGN AS A COMMON THREAD.
The interior design of the train stations that welcomes and accompanies the traveller has been entrusted
to Ruedi Baur for the signage and to Patrick Jouin for the urban furniture. Traveller information systems,
furniture and flooring make up the whole identity of the Grand Paris Express, as a common thread that
will connect the 68 train stations, inscribing it in a larger history of the Île-de-France transportation
network. The different train station facilities will create a strong marker of the new service proposed to
travellers.
The design of the Grand Paris Express will be the object of two exhibitions in the Spring of 2020 as part
of Lille International Capital of Design, as well as at the Fabrique du Métro in Saint-Ouen.
“The Parisian suburbs require the same quality
and beauty that were considered, in their time, for
Paris with Guimard.”
Ruedi Baur and Patrick Jouin, designers

A CONCEPTION GUIDE FOR THE FUTURE SQUARES OF THE GRAND PARIS- In 2019, the book “Squares of the
Grand Paris”, created by the architecture and urban planning agency TVK looked, with a team of creators,
researchers and specialists, to develop a common culture for the conception of public spaces around the Grand Paris
Express train stations. Several principles structure this guide: the public spaces will create a link between the
territories, the surrounding neighbourhoods and the transportation infrastructure (continuity principle); they will be
accessible to all and allow a diversity of uses and functions to live together (availability principle); they will also adapt
public spaces to the longer temporality of the city and its changes (principle of likely course). The squares of the
Grand Paris Express will be emblematic of the planning policy, but also of breathers, living spaces adapted to the
users, modulated and integrated in their environment, that the users will enjoy on a daily basis.
19AN IMPORTANT COMMISSION TO ILLUSTRATE THE TERRITORIES
At the end of 2020, the Société du Grand Paris will launch a commission for the creation of iconic
illustrations of the territories that will be installed in large formats on the platforms of the 68 train stations
of the Grand Paris Express. These illustrations will be seen as windows on to the territory and will create
a sensitive connection between each train station, its neighbourhood, its city and the Grand Paris. The
curators of this project will be Ruedi Baur, Patrick Jouin and José-Manuel Gonçalvès, as part of a
multidisciplinary collaboration looking to select 68 illustrators and artists from all over the world.
“The public space is the part of the Earth that we share,
open and accessible to all.”
Pierre-Alain Trevelo, architect

203. PLEYEL, AN URBAN AND CULTURAL
DEMONSTRATOR
In December 2019, the Société du Grand Paris launched “IMAGINE PLEYEL”, a project tender to invite
investors, cultural operators, actors of innovation and trade to develop a 5,000 sqm space for cultural and
social innovation located on the four floors of the future Saint-Denis Pleyel train station. This space must
carry the Grand Paris Express’ ambition to promote and increase access to culture for all and everywhere
across the metropolis, as well as encounters between the public and creativity.
“As an emblematic train station,
Saint-Denis Pleyel wants to become the demonstrator of a
durable city, focused on the users and implementing a
diversity of activities.”

5. THE ENDOWMENT FUND,
A VOLUNTARIST APPROACH
At the initiative of Rémi Babinet (Founding President of the BETC agency) and Xavier Lépine (President
of the Board of La Française), a fundraising entity was created to involve the private sector in the artistic
and cultural dimension of the Grand Paris Express. The current phase confirms the attractiveness of the
programme with new patrons and allows us to define a mixed public-private funding programme over the
course of ten years.
“We are calling upon private companies. Today there is an
extraordinary opportunity for businesses to get involved in an
unprecedented project that will revolutionise the city and the
lives of the inhabitants of the Grand Paris. Let’s endow our
future metro with a social dimension augmented through art
and culture.”
Rémi Babinet, President of the Endowment Fund of the Grand Paris Express
The funding requirements to allow the entire artistic and cultural programme to materialise, integrating the
route with the “tandem” artworks as well as artistic and cultural actions in the territories, is of 32 million
euros at the horizon of 2030, of which 16 million by 2024, based on the train station implementation
schedule. The Endowment Fund has already benefited from 5 million euros of donations from private
companies over the last 3 years.
“The Société du Grand Paris wants to be the
driving force of the co-construction approach,
associating the public and private sectors, at
the service of an unprecedented cultural and
artistic ambition in France and in Europe.”
Pierre-Emmanuel Becherand, General Director of the Endowment Fund of the Grand Paris Express
