Kunsthalle Wien

Nora Turato’s 62-metre mural inaugurates an annual public commission for Kunsthalle Wien’s MuseumsQuartier building vitrines. Turato’s work employs language as its primary material, playfully addressing the power structures at work in its spoken and written forms. This new piece employs the vitrines around the south-west exterior wall of the building to illustrate a scream, articulating one of the most primal and uninhibited forms of expression in a meticulously constructed wall painting.

Nora Turato (b. 1991, Zagreb) has held solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2022); Secession, Vienna (2021); Centre Pompidou, Paris; The International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana (both 2020); Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto (2019) and Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein (2019).

Her work has also been presented within significant international surveys including the Performa Biennial 2023; New York; Post-Capital: Art and the Economics of the Digital Age at MUDAM Luxembourg and Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2021 and 2022 respectively); INFORMATION (Today), Kunsthalle Basel and Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo (2021 and 2022 respectively); Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art (2022) and the Belgrade Biennale (2021).

Turato lives and works in Amsterdam.
