Don Leicht

In August 1980, John Fekner and Don Leicht worked together on an outdoor project located at the site of the People's Convention held at Charlotte Street in the South Bronx.

Their work transversely complemented each other with two different and distinct approaches that identified and drew attention to the existing conditions of the immediate Black and Latino communities, as well the concerns of Native American Indians.

Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan stood amidst the abandoned buildings on August 5, 1980 promising to rebuild the area, as did his predecessor President Jimmy Carter in October 1977.

In 1978, Leicht painted outdoors in Fekner's Detective Show in Gorman Park in Queens which included the words street museum on the invitational card.

"[3] In 1983, art writer Glenn O'Brien in a review in Artforum magazine states, "Leicht's piece consists of a sequence of creatures that exist only on a video screen- Pac Man, Donkey Kong, and other Atari-type stable mates.
