OGMT was initially located at LX Factory, Lisbon. Developed as an extension of Sandrine’s studio, the project was built around paper as both a medium and a concept. This first iteration of the Gabinete brought together three stages of artistic creation: Research, through a bookstore corner; Production, with an art supplies corner and workshops; and Dissemination, through talks, screenings and exhibitions featuring local and international artists, particularly from Europe and Asia.

In May 2024, OGMT moved to Campo de Ourique, marking a renewed focus on its role as a community-oriented art project. Through exhibitions, artistic events, talks, workshops and educational activities, it sought to bring together people of different ages and backgrounds, blurring the boundaries between art gallery, artist-run space and community centre.

Today, OGMT continues to develop its activities beyond a single physical location, through collaborations with other cultural organisations and venues. Among these is Balão X Gabinete, a visual arts programme developed with Sociedade de Instrução Guilherme Cossoul (Cossoul), in Lisbon’s São Bento neighbourhood. Bringing together exhibitions, artistic residencies, conversations and workshops, the programme extends OGMT’s commitment to artistic exchange and to creating new ways for art to connect with people.
