Street lit profiles the black underworld in graphic detail. Like gangsta rap, street lit often has thieves, pushers and prostitutes as protagonists. And like gangsta rap in its heyday, street lit is hot business. In an industry that considers sales of 20,000 copies of a typical novel a success, gritty street-lit authors like K'wan are routinely doubling that number...
Even among its purveyors, street lit's ethos has taken some knocks. "There are so many people flooding the market, but they're not taking responsibility for what they're writing," says K'wan.

Huyghe (pronounced, roughly, wheeg) revels in such border bashing. His work in photography, film, music, sculpture, architecture, puppetry, graphics and "events" defies the usual boundaries between the disciplines. And it probes other frontiers: contemporary ones like copyright and community, eternal ones like time and space, image and reality, and, yes, the meaning of art. "Being an artist means asking questions about the reality of existence," says the intense...
