The editors of OPEN invited Dennis Kaspori and Jeanne van Heeswijk to be guest editors for an insert  'Guest ≠ Welcome' as part of OPEN 12 Freedom of culture. This issue of OPEN focuses on questions regarding the privatization of intellectual property and presents several alternative approaches to urban design that aim to restore the communal dimension to public space. Jeanne and Dennis' contribution 'Guest ≠ Welcome' chart various initiatives that raise the issue of hospitality and the limitiation of individual expression in public domains and artistic/architectural interventions that could lead to potential solutions. Their editorial contribution also serves as the point of departure for the two-year project ‘Hospitality for what is to come’, which Jeanne van Heeswijk and Dennis Kaspori are realizing in a collaboration between  ALMOSTREAL  and the Blue House in Amsterdam. The project will consist of a number of interconnected guesthouses, meeting places and clandestine routes that serve as a platform for contributing to the debate about hospitality and migration.
