Nora Turato: pool7

9 Apr-8 Jun 2025

Overview

The first solo exhibition in the UK by Amsterdam-based artist Nora Turato (b. 1991, Zagreb). Taking place across the ICA’s Lower Galleries and Concourse, pool7 features a site-specific exhibition of newly commissioned work spanning performance, writing, graphic design, video and sound. With this exhibition, Turato introduces new experimental work in an ambitious project that is the artist’s most personal to date.  

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. Through bold, graphic installations and commanding solo performances the artist mines this found language to expose the ideologies, failures and pleasures that characterise communication today.

In a three-part installation and accompanying performance, Turato debuts her latest text ‘pool’, which incorporates the artist’s own writing to a new degree.
