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 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-, Jan Vormann at Créteil and the COAL collective in .

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 for the uses of the future.” 0"' a:- Pierre-Emmanuel Becherand, General Director of the Endowment Fund of the Grand Paris Express "

THE TOURING CONSTRUCTION SITE PARTIES continue with the organisation of KM9 at Boulogne- Billancourt. Connected by the Seine, the two Pont de Sèvres construction sites will open their doors with an artistic programme made specially for this singular site in the landscape of the metropolis.

NEW ARTISTIC RESIDENCIES ON THE TERRITORIES > With 0-93. Lab, the fashion designer Bastien Laurent, creator of the AVOC brand, proposed to 18 youths from Aulnay and 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 the 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 Six-Routes, Sevran-Beaudottes, Clichy-, Vitry-Centre, Pont-de•Sèvres and Issy RER.

TWO EXHIBITIONS TO DISCOVER THE DESIGN OF THE TRAIN STATIONS. For 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 ). 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.

2. 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 intervention 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.

“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.”

“My artistic project has been imagined to reinforce the spatial element already present in the train station and accentuate it in an organic manner as if the artwork was part of the architecture since its conception. The idea is to create a link between time and space.”

◄ Abdelkader Benchamma & Frédéric Neau tandem - Vitry Centre. Intervention in acrylic paint on all of the “cave” facings of the train station up to the platforms. © SGP/DR

“Sensitive to the proposal that the King Kong architecture agency created making this train station into a giant cave, Abdelkader Benchamma creates a subtle dialogue with the depths. The artist paints directly in black and white on the concrete walls and these drawings with ochre, brown and bluish tinges, will spread here and there in the cave and dialogue with the flows of the space: an underground station of connection, waiting and passage.”

◄ Noémie Goudal & Jérôme Berranger and Stéphanie Vincent tandem - Le Blanc• Mesnil. Video work shot in a sequence-shot that will be shown on an LED slab screen in one of the transit areas. © SGP/DR

“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.”

Jean-Marie Duthilleul & Daniel Buren, Sevran-Livry train station 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.

2.2. 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.

AN 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. ”

3. 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.” a: Thierry Dallard, President of the Board of the Société du Grand Paris 0

\9 Vl

This space could combine activities of promotion, production and cultural practices, commercial and sales offers, or even training courses. The project bearers must propose an innovating concept and theme, generating attractive activities, with an interest that is at once local, metropolitan and international, with a cultural, social and creative dimension. The spaces, the content, offer and programmes must articulate themselves around zones in free access, spaces of permanent programming, the possibility of creating events throughout the space, the commercialisation of certain areas, a food service offer. Among the themes identified to date: the link between art, images and technology; sport, health and wellbeing; the heritage of the 2024 Olympic Games; the link between the city, technologies and urban development; urban cultures, music and new forms of performing art. This list isn’t exhaustive and the applicants are free to propose a different concept. Several experts have been called upon to define a bill of specifications: José-Manuel Gonçalvès, artistic and cultural director of the Grand Paris Express; Didier Fusillier, president of the public establishment of the Park and Great Hall of La Villette; Thierry Paquot, urban philosopher; Jana Revedin, architect and urban planner PhD, researcher, professor of architecture and expert in sustainable development, etc. The process was launched in collaboration with the city of Saint-Denis, Plaine Commune, the Île- de-France region and the Ministry of Culture, and also receives the support of the organisation committee of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

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
