Join artist Nora Turato and Ana Janevski, curator in the Department of Media and Performance, for a conversation following a performance of Turato’s pool 5.

In Turato’s virtuosic performances, spoken word, graphic design, and bookmaking are intertwined to explore the possibilities of language in a culture oversaturated with information. Turato collects words and phrases from a range of sources: the Internet, media headlines, advertisements, conversations, books, commercial products, and her own thoughts. pool 5—which takes the form of a performance and a book—assembles and arranges these “pools” of text into a growing script that Turato memorizes and performs, alternating rhythm and intonation, voices and modes.

This event will be live-streamed.

The exhibition is presented as part of The Hyundai Card Performance Series.

Major support is provided by MoMA’s Wallis Annenberg Director's Fund for Innovation in Contemporary Art.

Generous funding is provided by the Lonti Ebers Endowment for Performance and the Sarah Arison Endowment Fund for Performance.

This performance accompanies Nora Turato: pool 5.
