Métro! Le grand Paris en mouvement exhibition catalog
Catalog for the exhibition Métro! Le Grand Paris en mouvement / The Metro! Grand Paris in motion at the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine in Paris, shown from November 2023 to April 2024. This exhibition is focused on the metro, its history and the urban transformations associated with it, in relation to the work underway on the Grand Paris Express. This gigantic operation, which began in 2016 and is still ongoing, aims to extend and renovate the Paris metropolitan area’s transport network.
From the editor’s web shop (translated):
Aimed at a wide audience, the exhibition catalogue is designed as a beautiful book, divided into as many stages and stations. It takes up in depth the content of the exhibition itinerary, while weaving new links between different issues and reorganising the order in which the thematic issues appear. Resolutely multidisciplinary, it will give ample space to the relationship with the imaginary (cinema, painting, photography, illustrations, literature…), and to the testimonies of writers, engineers, users…
Graphic designer Line Martin-Célo has chosen the dynamism of Dina Chaumont to embody the publication. She used both the Display and Text versions. Neue Haas Unica is used for text.
