Oh No — Artists who do books
We understand publications as free and safe spaces in which self-determined political and aesthetic questions are negotiated and social communities are defined through publishing as an (artistic) practice.
The publications never refer only to themselves, but reflect critically, ironically, sometimes strikingly and sometimes enigmatically on art, society, the feeling, the object, the ego and always great comrades-in-arms from music and art whose work Gloria Glitzer celebrates and wants to say thank you to them with her publications.
Gloria Glitzer is the avatar of the artists Franziska Brandt and Moritz Grünke.
Founded in 2007, Gloria Glitzer develops, creates, and publishes artzines and artists’ books.
Gloria Glitzer also runs We make it a Risography and Graphics studio and run the Herbarium Riso, a public archive dedicated to stencil printed matters.
From 2015 to 2022 Moritz Grünke organized, together with P. Obolo (2022), Y. Camps, M. Pichler and Kristin Mueller (2015), the Miss Read Festival at HKW, Berlin.
In our bookworks we test concepts and ideas without waiting for permission or invitation. We understand our pulications as a form of taking responsibility of our ideas and their circulation.
Our various projects confronts us with the roots of the self-publishing. The urge for self-enactment, visibility, accessibility and democratization of art and information. But also the low and no budgets, and the need for accessible machines and processes.
