Ivet Curlin, What How and for Whom (WHW)

Ivet Curlin is a member of the Zagreb-based curatorial collective What How and for Whom (WHW), along with artists Ana Dević, Nataša Ilić, and Sabina Sabolović, and designer and publicist Dejan Kršić

WHY WE LOVE IVET AND WHW:

• Their name comes from their first exhibition, “What, How & for Whom, dedicated to the 152nd anniversary of the Communist Manifesto,” and the collective’s belief that these standard questions of economic analysis are also critical in the analysis of cultural production has continued to guide their practice to this day.
• WHW takes collectivity and equality seriously, and even asked The New York Times during an interview if they they could answer all questions as a single identity
• A proverbial letter to the art world, their “Dear Art” exhibition challenged the contemporary art world to consider whether we still need art by revealing it’s failings and questioning artists’ autonomy
