We can't resist the power of the printed matter. Today the [New York Art Book Fair ](http://www.nyartbookfair.com/?ref=protein.xyz)throws open it's doors at [PS1](http://www.ps1.org/?ref=protein.xyz) to what no doubt will be a carnival of hipsters, cutesy intellectuals and dateable nerds. Now in its fifth year, it's said to be hosting over 200 international presses from twenty countries.

A special project by artist [Leidy Churchman](http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/01/the-nifty-50-leidy-churchman-artist/?ref=protein.xyz) is set to ambush the museum's lobby with facsimile book paintings on wood, a mighty small precursor to that lies beyond; this years featured country is The Netherlands meaning up to 18 Dutch exhibitors will showcase artists books, monographs, cataglogues and journals; [Pecha Kucha ](http://www.pecha-kucha.org/?ref=protein.xyz)will be making a sneak appearance at the two day [Contemporary Artists' Books Conference](http://www.arlisny.org/?ref=protein.xyz) occuring in parallel on site and The Classroom will kick off again with a range of informal conversations. There's a Zine Meet Up for die hards to swap and trade; project rooms that contain a real photocopy station; book signings, DJs, performances - damn did you get all that? Produced by [Printed Matter ](http://www.printedmatter.org/?ref=protein.xyz)and supported by [Opening Ceremony](http://www.openingceremony.us/?ref=protein.xyz), we can't help but get just a tad excited wondering what smart people in fashion wear when they're reading big words.
