ALICE CONNEW is a photographer whose work transpires from a seemingly unconscious stream of intangible visual connections which occur throughout quotidian life. These links often show themselves at a later—and usually unexpected—time.

She believes the photobook is an art form.

Alice lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

KATIE KERR is a designer who is interested in exploring alternative structures of design practice. Her research-led practice revolves around the multidisciplinary production of experimental paperback books.

In opposition to the ‘print is dead’ argument, she believes that books take on an important role in the post-digital context—the physical object creates methods of distribution that disrupts the digital echo-chamber, where analytics are lessening our chances of discovering something unexpected.

Katie lives and works in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.

Berliners, we — your lovely friend with books — have a table at @friendswithbooks this weekend! . All your favourite GLORIA titles will be available, including a couple of copies of Between Two Strangers we found tucked away in a box! This title was a smash hit at the fair last year, so get ‘em while you can, they’re sold out everywhere else! . We’re pleased to say we’ll also have @bruceconnew’s latest book ‘folded eggs’ on the table alongside our last copy of @robyndaly_ ‘s award-winning ‘Nothing Ever Happens’ — also sold out everywhere! We’re basically a rare books table. . We’ll be taking preorders for @aliceconnew and @oliver.connew’s new book ‘Still Looking Good’. Anyone who preorders at the fair can walk away with a free GLORIA tote bag. See you this weekend!💥

Postcards for Still Looking Good landed in Berlin yesterday 💌 Join us for the launch of the book, screening of the film and exhibition opening — a triple whammy — at @fotoklubkollektiv on Tuesday 28 September, 7pm. Preorders available on our website (link in bio) with a special edition of 30 available that comes with a signed and numbered inkjet print. All preorders, special or otherwise, will receive a free GLORIA tote bag. Expect to receive your goods mid-October, or pickup at the launch!

A colour change for the front and back covers 📗 . Preorders open for Still Looking Good on our website — the final part in a triadic collaboration between siblings, photographer @aliceconnew and choreographer @oliver.connew.

Battling through production delays with our printer we’re taking a moment to reflect back on the editing process of Still Looking Good. . A hearty thank you to those who have preordered a copy for your patience and understanding. Good things take time! More updates this week...

Great to see ‘Dirt’ in this month’s edition of @urbismagazine alongside some good company! And thanks to Sam Walsh at @strange.goods for the perhaps nepotistic but also very kind review: “It’s a great starting point if you want an introduction to an eclectic group of local writers and vegetarian cooking: like eavesdropping on a dinner party where the host is a professional chef, all the guests are open and interesting, and the conversation carries on late into the night...” - Buy a copy of ‘Dirt’ over on our website. #GLORIAbooks

The second edition of Dirt with its gorgeous new cover has just arrived at GLORIA Berlin. We can arrange free collections if you’re in town, just order through our website and select ‘PICK UP BERLIN’ at checkout. We’ll be in touch soon after receiving your order to organise the details 💥

Congratulations to @studiokatiekerr on being named @allenandunwinnz’s Young Designer of the Year at the PANZ Book Design awards last week! We’re a little biased but we couldn’t think of anyone more deserving. Thank you from the bottom of our bookish hearts for the passion, encouragement, love and enthusiasm you bring to GLORIA ♥️

We sold out of the limited edition risograph-printed copies of ‘Between Two Strangers: Twelve Stories of Migrating Artists’ by @studiokatiekerr in late 2018, but because of its popularity we have made the PDF version of the book available to purchase for just $10NZD over on our website. #GLORIAbooks
