GLORIA Books & The National Grid

GLORIA is an intercontinental publishing platform for art and photography books. The imprint acts as a research facility to explore a multidisciplinary approach to publishing. The artist is deeply involved in every step of the process, producing objects that express a singular intention — from concept, to design and print.

GLORIA is run by Bristol-based photographer Alice Connew and Auckland-based graphic designer Katie Kerr.

The National Grid was a graphic design journal for the specific national context of Aotearoa / New Zealand that ran from 2006 until 2012. Now, just over 12 years later, it is making it's return under the editorship of Luke Wood, Jonty Valentine, Matthew Galloway and Katie Kerr.
