The New York Art Book Fair is this weekend, and book lovers will not be disappointed, especially those interested in challenging just what a book is. You’ll find zines, pop-up books, and book-sculpture among the booths.

Printed Matter, Inc. presents
THE NY ART BOOK FAIR
September 30–October 2, 2011
Preview: Thursday, Sept. 29, 6–9 p.m.
MoMA PS1

One of the many programs scheduled for the weekend:

Artists’ Photography Books
Gallery C (1st Floor)
Printed Matter presents an historical overview of artists’ use of photography in their books, from the 1960s to today. These are not your typical photo books: from Ed Ruscha’s deadpan cataloguing of the western urban landscape to Sol LeWitt’s use of photography in his investigation of patterns, systems and sequences, these publications employ photography as a strategic component in the aggregate of the book as artwork.
