Third of five total issues of this conceptual magazine by German-born artist Josephine Meckseper (b. 1964), which took inspiration from Jean-Paul Marati's French revolutionary newspaper L'Ami du Peuple, while styling itself in the sensationalist fashion of supermarket tabloids. As Meckseper described the concept in a 2016 interview on Flash Art: "The idea was to show art works in a non-elitist, easily digestible form. Photographic reproductions and art images are subverted into a monstrous montage with representations of advertising and propaganda next to fictitious news items." This issue on the theme "On Fire," with dozens of lurid and lascivious pieces taking satirical aim at the art world. Contributors include Dara Birnbaum, Jeffrey Anderson, Susan Jennnings, Mike Topp, Dan Graham, John Reed, Joe Holyfield, Piotr Unklanski, E.B. Friedlander, Paul Dickerson, Lucio Pozzi, Heather Chase, Colin Hayle, Sally Stein, Mirian Rodriguez, Elissa Schappell, Douglas Blau, et al. Meckeseper produced four issues of FAT in its initial run between 1994-2000; a fifth issue followed in 2018. Early issues are remarkably scarce in the trade; OCLC locates holdings only at MoMA and the Smithsonian. Aarons & Roth, In Numbers, pp. 160-164.
