Salt and Pepper

Salt and Pepper, a collaborative exhibition between the ICA and the Association for Viet Arts, opens at the ICA. The title of the exhibition references a Vietnamese expression for aging—the “salt” represents the older generation while the “pepper” represents their younger counterpart. The eight artists included in this show represent both generations. Curator Lan Nguyen writes that these artists “constitute the innate, dependent cycle of growth, survival, and rebirth as a new generation emerges from their revered predecessors. Their works unite the past and present with an inspiring boldness of tomorrow.”
