Artist Talk
Nora Turato: pool7
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Nora Turato by Diana Pfammatter

Book tickets

Join artist Nora Turato and exhibition curator Andrea Nitsche-Krupp for an in-depth conversation about Turato’s practice and her newest work, pool7 – the artist’s first solo exhibition in the UK.

Turato’s work across performance, graphic design, installation, video and texts confronts our shared contemporary condition as it manifests in language and within our bodies, with vulnerability, humour and devastating common sense.
 
Following her presentation of two new performances at the ICA, and on the occasion of the final weekend of her solo exhibition, Turato joins Nitsche-Krupp to discuss the conception and development of the installation, video, audio work and performance that comprises pool7. The conversation will also explore how this new body of work is situated within Turato’s oeuvre and contemporary art and culture more broadly, with an opportunity for questions from our audience.

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. Turato unveiled a large-scale public art installation at Art on the Mart, Chicago in the spring of 2024. In 2023, Turato produced a commissioned performance for the Performa Biennial in New York.
