Join us for the preview of pool7 by Nora Turato, her first solo exhibition in the UK.
pool7 by Amsterdam-based artist Nora Turato (b. 1991, Zagreb) presents a site-specific exhibition of new work spanning performance, writing, graphic design, video and sound. In an enveloping installation that is the artist’s most personal to date, Turato investigates our collective relationship to language, exposing the ideologies, failures and pleasures that characterise communication today.
At yearly intervals, Turato creates text 'pools', collections of found language she gathers and samples from a range of sources such as media headlines, conversations with friends, books, advertising, overheard speech and online content. In this three-part installation and performance, Turato debuts her latest text ‘pool’, which incorporates the artist’s own writing to a new degree.

About the artist
Nora Turato (b.1991 Zagreb, Croatia) is an artist based in Amsterdam, NL. The breadth of Turato’s work encompasses text-based installations, prints, books and performances, placing language as the central anchor of her practice. Turato’s work often weaves in collected language, as well as original text, channelling the constant stream of material into an original narrative she deconstructs and shapes through her multifaceted practice. Working within periodic cycles referred to as ‘pools’, Turato reflects on particular current cultural and societal tendencies, specifically, the language and zeitgeist that define these shifts. Turato’s series of artist books – also titled pools – accompany each cycle, with Turato likening them to ‘annual reports’ of the compiled text and language of that year.
Recent solo exhibitions include Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2024), Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna (2024), Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles (2024), Sprüth Magers, Berlin (2023), Museum of Modern Art, New York (2022), Secession, Vienna (2021), MGLC: International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana (2020), Sammlung Philara, Düsseldorf (2020), Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto (2019), Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein (2019) and Beursschouwburg, Brussels (2019). Turato has participated in numerous group exhibitions at MUDAM, Luxembourg (2024), TANK, Shanghai (2023), Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2022), Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo (2022), Kunsthalle Basel, Basel (2021), amongst others.
