I've covered Printed Matter's New York Art Book Fair every year since 2012 and each year it's grown and changed—except for this year, when it didn't. This year's NYABF was almost exactly like last year's. Once again the major theme was bootleg T-shirts and a museum so hot and unventilated it was like a sauna for books.
I took a lot of photos and it's my hope to recreate my experience, for you the VICE reader. As you look at my photos, see if you can tell which objects are exciting and important and which are lazy and garbage.
Upon breaching MoMA PS1's large concrete walls, you find yourself in a courtyard presented with several options. You can enter the giant geodesic igloo to the left, the zine ghetto to the right, or walk straight ahead into the museum's main building.
I elected to enter the igloo.
The first thing I saw was the Nieves booth. Their logo is Grimace reading a book, which adorns many tote bags.
This is Gabe Fowler who owns Desert Island Comics, a great comics store off the Lorimer L Stop in Brooklyn.
