The third title in the Clarion series features Amsterdam-based
artist Nora Turato and her vibrant enamel panels that magnify the
omnipresence of text, design, and speech in our contemporary
culture. ---------- “Meticulous as Helen and tricky as Odysseus,
the artist invites us first to misread the slick surfaces and humor
of her works as effortless, then forces us to attend to the
laborious practices they belie, the histories and possibilities of
that effort.” — Art in America ---------- Originally trained as
a graphic designer, Nora Turato adapts text to subvert and create
messages. Although many of Turato’s performances and works appear
to be drafted by free association, she meticulously and
thoughtfully edits them to evoke a sense of alluring confusion. In
three signature murals with a bespoke typeface, Turato addresses
the inundation of language, typography, and graphic design in our
contemporary culture, whether in the news, on social media, or in
advertisements. Published on the occasion of Turato’s widely
popular exhibition govern me harder at 52 Walker, this publication
features texts by Ebony L. Haynes and Anna Kats. Serving as an
extension of the exhibition, performance scripts by the artist are
also included in this publication. As described in The Brooklyn
Rail, “In the slick sea of graphic smoothness and language lost
from meaning, something has still been irrefutably made.”
