What, How & for Whom/WHW
What, How & for Whom/WHW is a curatorial collective formed in 1999 and is based in Zagreb and Berlin. Its members are Ivet Ćurlin, Ana Dević, Nataša Ilić and Sabina Sabolović. The WHW collective established an international study programme for emerging artists called WHW Akademija in 2018 based in Zagreb and will begin collaborating with[G1] a new exhibition space in the city later this year. From 2003 to 2023 WHW curated the programme of Gallery Nova, a city-owned gallery in Zagreb.
In 2019–2024, part of the collective (Ivet Ćurlin, Nataša Ilić and Sabina Sabolović) were artistic directors of Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna, and in 2024 they were announced as artistic directors of Skulptur Projekte Münster 2027.
Over the years, WHW has organised production, exhibition, education and publishing projects in various geographical and cultural contexts and on different institutional scales. Their curatorial work is inspired by queer-feminist, anti-fascist and decolonialising ideas with the intention of giving new impulses to aesthetic and ideological debates in the field of contemporary art.
