Nora Turato
pool7

Kunsthalle Wien and Tanzquartier Wien present a new performance by Nora Turato. pool7 is the latest performance in the artist’s acclaimed series of works exploring the language of the zeitgeist, isolating the subtexts, failures, and pleasures in communication. Focusing on the voice and the performing body, the performances are studies of tone, pitch, delivery and gesture. More specifically, as expressions of deep-seated emotions that are suppressed by the surface-obsessed present. pool7, which premiered at the ICA London earlier this year, evolves with each performance. Turato methodically deconstructs language with each new iteration, dismantling words and sentences to defy conventional meaning and test the boundaries of language to explore what emerges when words fall apart.

Turato inaugurated Kunsthalle Wien’s annual commission for the 62-metre-long vitrine on the outer wall of its building in the MuseumsQuartier. Her mural, Aaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa!!!!!! is on display until 17.9.2025 and this performance is commissioned by Kunsthalle Wien to mark the completion of this project.
