Giselle’s Books is happy to announce its first group exhibition curated with the non-profit Ampersand.

Ampersand is a program looking at artistic enterprise. It has been kept in operation fostering friendships and numerous collaborations. It includes but is not limited to exhibitions. Run by publisher and curator Alice Dusapin and artist Martin Laborde, formerly in Lisbon (2017 – 2024), Ampersand is currently itinerant.

Giselle’s Books has co-founded in 2020 the annual non-profit consortium SYSTEMA, which Ampersand joined in 2024. It organises strategies to collaborate and develop critical programs within increasingly constrained infrastructures.

This exhibition combines still and moving images and clucking sounds from the dead and the very much alive. It is a solo show of seven.
