Martin Laborde

Giselle’s Books · Marseille

Opening Wednesday 27th August, from 6pm

From 2017 to 2024, Laborde’s studio located in Lisbon, was hosting episodic instalments of Ampersand – a program he co-founded which has been kept in operation fostering friendships and numerous collaborations. Ampersand is currently itinerant (Ana Jotta, Marian Goodman, 2025; Jean Painlevé, Culturgest, 2024).

He is also among the three editors of the journal octopus notes. His work has been presented recently at Mala and FarO (Lisbon), Treize (Paris) as well as with gallery Air de Paris (Romainville and Monaco). He is currently working on a publication gathering years of collages to be published by Dope Press (Los Angeles), Giselle’s Books (Marseille) and Daisy (Paris) including, among others, texts by Wayne Koestenbaum, Oscar Tuazon, and Marie Canet.
