Marta Labad holds a degree in Architecture, a graduate, and a Ph.D. in Fine Arts. She studied photography at EFTI and the Rhode Island School of Design (MFA 09), thanks to a Fulbright scholarship. She is an associate editor of the photography and visual culture magazine Archivo Paper Journal and the coordinator of the Archivo Lab program. She has participated in group exhibitions internationally. Her research focuses on two areas: the question of time and work in the contemporary world, through the analysis of artistic practices and work imaginaries in the field of art and visual culture; uses and practices related to contemporary photographic imagery.
