Collaborations
Fekner began collaborating with Bronx artist Don Leicht at PS1 now called MoMA PS1 where they shared a studio in 1976. In 1982, they began a series of work and installations using steel, cut metal, aluminum and automotive paints based on Nishikado's Space Invaders arcade game with the statement: "Your Space Has Been Invaded-Our Children are Fighting a Terrible War. Whole families are being sent to Battlescreen." Their "Beauty's Only Street Deep" was installed at the Wooster Collective's 11 Spring Street street art 2006 exhibition in NYC. Since the 1970s, Fekner has collaborated with John Matos/Crash, David Wojnarowicz, Sandra Seymour, Lady Pink, Peter Mönnig, A-One, Toxic, Andrew Castrucci, Sasha Sumner, Chris Stain, Josh MacPhee, Billy Mode and other musicians, writers and new media artists. Fekner was included in Documenta 7 as part of Jenny Holzer's and Stefan Eins' Fashion Moda Store, and the Committed To Print exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art.
