Nora Turato

Press release

pool7, the first solo presentation in the UK by Amsterdam-based artist Nora Turato (b. 1991, Zagreb) features a site-specific exhibition of newly commissioned 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 accompanying performance, Turato debuts her latest text ‘pool’, which incorporates the artist’s own writing to a new degree.
