Issue No. 8 of Fama & Fortune, the artist-publication series issued in Vienna by Peter Pakesch and Johannes Schlebrügge, brings together Kim Gordon and Mike Kelley in a compact publication dating from November 1991.
Conceived as artist-driven printed objects rather than conventional exhibition catalogues, Fama & Fortune was issued in small formats and circulated through the Viennese and international contemporary art scene of the early 1990s. The series reflects a period in which independent publishing became an important extension of artistic practice, allowing artists to work directly with image, text, and reproduction.
The pairing of Gordon and Kelley captures a particularly fertile intersection between underground music and contemporary art. Gordon, best known as a founding member of Sonic Youth, was also deeply engaged with visual art and writing, while Kelley had established himself as a major figure in the Los Angeles art scene through a practice concerned with memory, popular culture, objects, performance, and the darker psychology of American life.
The issue documents a moment in which these two spheres increasingly overlapped. Kelley’s work would appear on the cover of Sonic Youth’s Dirty the following year, making this publication an especially evocative record of the cultural exchange developing between downtown music and contemporary art at the beginning of the 1990s.
Typeset by PCG Wien and printed by REMAprint in Vienna, the issue retains the direct, modest physical character central to the series. Its small format and limited pagination reinforce its status as an intimate artist publication rather than a conventional institutional document.
Fama & Fortune No. 8 is a particularly strong collectible for its connection to both Kim Gordon and Mike Kelley, and for the way it preserves a precise moment in the convergence of experimental music, artist publishing, and contemporary art.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
The Story
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
