Heige Kim certainly sees the irony in being looked at as an “emerging artistic voice.” At 54 years of age and recently named one of seven local artists who will showcase work at the Institute of Contemporary Art’s annual NextGen exhibition, it’s difficult not to be amused.

Cross would go on to great renown as a photographer but his work as a writer is incisive and unambiguously radical.
