Once again Printed Matter hosted the hugely successful NY Art Book Fair this weekend at MoMA PS1. The event boasted over 35,000 visitors in its four day run. This year the fair hosted NORWAY FOCUS: KUNSTNERBØKER, a curated selection of 23 Norwegian booksellers, institutions, artists and independent publishers. From the NY Art Book Fair website “This year’s NY Art Book Fair includes an ever-growing variety of exhibitors – from the zinesters in (XE)ROX & PAPER + SCISSORS and the Small Press Dome representing publishing at its most innovative and affordable, to rare and antiquarian dealers offering out-of-print books and ephemera from art and artist book history.” Beyond its numerous exhibitors, the fair also hosted a DJ set by JD Samson, and live sets by Thurston Moore & James Nares and Gang Gang Dance on the steps of PS1.
