Rubbish and Dreams Rubbish and Dreams: the Genderqueer Performance Art of Stephen Varble, at SoHo’s Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, focuses on the disruptive acts that Stephen Varble was known for—acts that were quickly written out of history, but fortunately, not easily forgotten. The exhibit draws upon private archives unveiled for the first time, and looks at a myriad of Varble’s performance pieces, from his impromptu interventions into banks, art galleries and other public spaces, to his elaborate costumes constructed from food, trash, and other found objects. The exhibit is on through January 27. 26 Wooster St., New York, NY. leslielohman.org
