MoMA PS1, New York
The world's premier event for artists' books, catalogs, monographs, periodicals, and zines. Last year, the fair featured 283 booksellers, antiquarians, artists, and independent publishers from 26 countries. With exhibitions, conversations, and performances.
Printed Matter presents the eighth annual NY Art Book Fair, from September 20 to 22, at MoMA PS1, Long Island City, Queens.
Join us for our opening night preview featuring a live set from MASKS on the steps of MoMA PS1. Comprised of New York City-based duo Alexis Georgopoulos and Max Ravitz, the group incorporates elements of underground dance music through analog synthesizers and drum machines. Supporting MASKS, one of the most enigmatic artists on the L.I.E.S. roster, Terekke (aka Matt Gardner) makes subliminal, dub–influenced, tape hiss–fueled basement house.
Exhibitions
The NY Art Book Fair is pleased to host four exhibitions at this year's event, including our first ever satellite exhibition, a 5 minute walk from PS1. The varied exhibitions survey works of from individuals significant to the artists' book medium as well as extensive group presentations.
