P.S.1 art center out in Long Island City seemed to revert back to its previous incarnation as a public school this past weekend, when it was taken over for the first time by the latest incarnation of the annual New York Art Book Fair. The halls echoed with excited voices as if it were an art-world parent-teacher night, with artists, book publishers, art dealers and fair visitors filling the former classrooms and gymnasium, all for the sake of the "artist’s book." The packed three-day event, Oct. 2-4, 2009, presented an incredible 205 exhibitors, a third more than last year, hailing from 26 different countries.
