8. ART: Rudolf Nureyev, Merce Cunningham
Two prominent museums have recently opened exhibits on gay luminaries of dance. San Francisco's de Young Museum is the only U.S. venue for "Rudolf Nureyev: A Life in Dance," organized in collaboration with the Centre National du Costume de Scene in France. The show features more than 80 costumes and 50 photographs from Nureyev's collection and runs through February 17. In Minneapolis, the Walker Art Center has mounted "Dance Works III: Merce Cunningham/Rei Kawakubo," focusing on the costumes that Comme des Garcons founder Kawakubo created for Cunningham's 1997 dance piece Scenario. On view through March 24, it's the third exhibit the Walker has created from the Merce Cunningham Dance Company Collection, which it acquired in 2011, the single largest acquisition of visual art in the museum's history.

7. ART: "Dancing Around the Bride"
The Philadelphia Museum of Art explores Marcel Duchamp's interactions and collaborations with two culturally significant gay couples: visual artists Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, and composer John Cage and dancer-choreographer Merce Cunningham. The show, which opened this week and runs through January 21, includes more than 40 Duchamp works, more than 60 by Johns and Rauschenberg, live and recorded performances of Cage's music, and live performances of dances created by Cunningham as well as dance videos and stage sets. The exhibition "tells the story of five extraordinary artists and what happened when their lives and work intersected," says curator Carlos Basualdo. "Their mutual interactions redefined the language of contemporary art in the 1950s and '60s."

6. EVENT: Codebreaker, A Night With Alan Turing
Alan Turing, the father of modern computer science, was a gifted Brit who broke the Germans' Enigma code, helping the Allies defeat the Nazis during World War II. Despite his accomplishments, however, Turing was persecuted for being gay, and he took his own life in 1954. Now former Log Cabin Republicans president and filmmaker Patrick Sammon and his crew have produced a docudrama chronicling Turing's life. Theaters in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., will screen the film Thursday, with proceeds benefiting a handful of LGBT organizations. Go here for more information.
