...show that marked the reopening of the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris early this year before moving to Tate Modern in London. "Doors are something that define territory, right?" says Huyghe of his metaphor. "But as the doors are moving, and there are no walls, then what is inside and what is outside becomes very blurry." 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...

Translators of a book by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali Dutch politician who has been critical of Islam, also insisted on anonymity. Then the Tate Britain in London removed an installation called God Is Great, which shows the Talmud, the Koran and the Bible embedded in a piece of glass. To me, all those spoke to the problems of self-censorship and freedom of speech, and that's why I wrote to 40 Danish cartoonists asking...
