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.

It’s Not About a Salary shifts focus to the West Coast, where Brian “B+” Cross sees the scene as inextricable from L.A.’s political reality, which by 1993 had become as fraught as it had been since the 1965 Watts rebellion. Cross would go on to great renown as a photographer — he was behind the lens for such iconic album covers as Ras Kass’s Soul on Ice and DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing … — but his work as a writer is incisive and unambiguously radical.
