Vlatka Horvat - By the Means at Hand

'By the Means at Hand' offers a look into Vlatka Horvat's eponymous project, presented at the Pavilion of Croatia at the 60th International Art Exhibition-La Biennale di Venezia in 2024. Horvat invited some 200 international artists-friends and friends of friends, all living "as foreigners" in different countries around the world-to exchange small-scale artworks with her, all made for the occasion. For every work she received, Vlatka sent to each artist a collage from the series she was making while in residence in Venice. All the artworks travelled to Venice and back via informal transport networks; in bags and suitcases of friends, acquaintances, and sometimes strangers enlisted as couriers for the project.
