OH DAM! 10 YEARS OF DYKE ACTION MACHINE!

Founded by Carrie Moyer and Sue Schaffner in 1991, Dyke Action Machine! (DAM!) is a public art collaboration which critiques mainstream culture by inserting lesbian images into a recognizably commercial context. For the past 10 years, the work of this infamous duo has been a seamless part of New York City's visual environment-orchestrating massive poster campaigns that serve as a counter-narrative to mainstream outdoor advertising. Oh DAM! 10 Years of Dyke Action Machine! brings together a decade of work by Dyke Action Machine! and presents us with a visual timeline of some of the most hotly debated cultural issues of the late 20th century. November 1-December 14 at DiverseWorks (713/223-8346). -Troy Carrington

MAD ABOUT THE BOY

In drag-king persona Randy ManDragon, Kat Zemanek, and back-up duo Glitterblue (Stacy Lewis,) and Tes Joujoux (Gretchen Dube,) will travel to Austin on November 16 to perform in a show presented by Kings N Things, the drag-king troupe in the capital city (www.kingsnthings.com). The show, at the Elysium nightclub, will bring visibility in Texas to a burgeoning performance form with roots in the New York club-and-theater scene of the '80s. Often dressed in hyper-guy garb, drag kings blur the line between what's considered masculine and feminine-and provide a gay old time. Increasing the gender bending, Zemanek, as ManDragon dressed in '40s-era hipster guy drag, will perform to a track by RuPaul, a man in glamour-queen drag. -Tim Brookover
