"LA/ATX Pocket Expo: The New Rules of Flagging", was a project for Salvage Vanguard Theater OUTsider Fest in Austin Texas. A workshop and multi-screen video installation that took part for the duration of the festival, it is an ongoing part of the project of Die Kränken (a group of artists formed in 2014 in response to the ONE Center’s collection of archives detailing the history of Southern California gay motorcycle clubs). Flagging, for those unfamiliar with the term, is a color coded system employed with handkerchiefs and used among the gay male casual sex seekers or BDSM practitioners to indicate preferred sexual fetishes, what kind of sex they are seeking, and whether they are a top/dominant or bottom/submissive. The hanky code was widely used in the 1970s by gay and bisexual men, and grew from there to include all genders and orientations. It is within these last orientations that the die Kränken members exist; gender fluid, queer, and polyamorous are among the new flags each of the different die Kränken members are flagging.
