‘Why can’t books be works of art too?’ is the motto behind Le Pied de Biche (literally ‘The crowbar’.) This new space on rue Charonne holds a triple license of gallery, publishing house, and bookshop. Its young director Tiffany Khalil – known as Tyranny in the Parisian street art world – simultaneously publishes, exhibits, and sells limited editions of books made by graffiti, tattoo and comic-strip inspired artists. Le Pied de Biche also hosts various events such as graffiti battles, portrait sessions of ‘yourself as a teenager’, and merry piss-ups by Paris’ top-notch indie population.
86 rue de Charonne, 11th.
