Detective Show maps the conception and creation of a unique immersive outdoor urban art event, organised by artist John Fekner in Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC in 1978. 

The book explores the formative steps of street-art-as-installation, transporting readers back to 1970s Queens, New York City, and shining a light on an era of authentic, artistic freedom. It comes with a risograph reproduction of the original 1978 exhibition flyer.
